NBA Honors: Scoring Leader

Since the 1969-70 NBA season, the leading scorer is determined by points per game. Previously, from 1946-47 through the 1968-69 season, the NBA scoring leader was the player with more total points at the end of each season.

Both Michael Jordan and Wilt Chamberlain won 7 consecutive scoring titles. But Jordan is at the top of this list because he won 3 more after returning from his first retirement.
