Offensively, one of the greatest.

His total impact wasn't top-5 though.

[Im Still Ballin]

Like Laz said,

Lebron 2013 and Lebron 2009 are metrically superior seasons due to the DPOY level defense

Offensively ... YES NO DOUBT IMO ... ALL AROUND IT WAS A TOP 5 REGULAR SEASON EVER WHEN YOU FACTOR IN DEFENSE AS WELL .. MY OPINION

[NBASTATMAN]

Offensively, one of the greatest.

How can you say its not top 5 when his team went 73-9 ..

[riseagainst]

GOAT offensive season and not even close.

top 5 all around season.

Facts and facts.

REGULAR SEASON .. YES.. PLAYOFFS ARE A DIFFERENT ANIMAL ...

[hateraid]

Purely based on offense this is the greatest and most impact full season ever. There is no denying. The percentages, plus volume, and combined with the amount of 3's is amazing. Centers don't accumulate those type of numbers even without the 3 point shot. Outstanding

[tmacattack33]

Yes, it was the best regular offensive ever.

Just last night he had 46 points on 27 true shots. This has only been done about 10 times before (link: http://www.basketball-reference.com/play-index/pgl_finder.cgi?request=1&player_id=&match=game&year_min=&year_max=&age_min=0&age_max=99&team_id=&opp_id=&is_playoffs=N&round_id=&game_num_type=&game_num_min=&game_num_max=&game_month=&game_day=&game_location=&game_result=&is_starter=&is_active=&is_hof=&pos_is_g=Y&pos_is_gf=Y&pos_is_f=Y&pos_is_fg=Y&pos_is_fc=Y&pos_is_c=Y&pos_is_cf=Y&c1stat=fga&c1comp=lt&c1val=24&c2stat=pts&c2comp=gt&c2val=45&c3stat=&c3comp=gt&c3val=&c4stat=&c4comp=gt&c4val=&order_by=pts).


It's truly ridiculous.

I thought it went end after December. But it did not. It kept going.

[kamil]

Because he's an old geezer that can't let go of the fact that Wilt's greatness was superseded a long time ago by a lot of players.

[WorldWarriors]

First guard to average 30pts on 50% shooting since MJ.
50-40-90 club (50-45-90)
400+ 3ptrs in 1 season
first scoring leader to shoot 50-40-90 in NBA history. For some reason I thought Durant did that.

STEPH DEMANDS A DOUBLE TEAM 30FT FROM THE BASKET... CRAZY

[Sarcastic]

Best outside shooting season of all time.

[STATUTORY]

60>73 as of 4/13/2016

[Im Still Ballin]

Best outside shooting season of all time.
Best offensive season of all time

[hateraid]

60>73 as of 4/13/2016

In the moment. But 73-9 has more staying power. That will be remembered more 10 years from now

[Sarcastic]

Best offensive season of all time

Debatable. He did it in an easier offensive era.

It's like comparing Drew Brees' record breaking season to Dan Marino's. One was in an easy offensive era, and one wasn't.

[hold this L]

Like Laz said,

Lebron 2013 and Lebron 2009 are metrically superior seasons due to the DPOY level defense
lol, and how many wins did Lebron push his team toward? Curry's offense is so good it makes a bigger difference than someone who offers less on offense and a bit more on defense. Curry's one of the better defending PGs in the league as well, people trying to make him seem like a scrub.

There's a reason his team hit 73, and he's the main part of it by quite a distance.

[Rocketswin2013]

wow he didnt break the PER record. a little surprising. he was at 32 - 33 most of the year.

e:which means shit btw

[STATUTORY]

you think so? I feel like people are going to be talking about Kobe's last game for decades from now

I can definitely envision 30 for 30s based on that performance. No overreaction but given the context that could have possibly been the greatest regular season performance of ALL TIME

[inclinerator]

who knows

Whatever it does show, it is still unfair to the players in Chamberlain's era, and particularly to Wilt.

TRB%, Off TRB%, Def TRB%, and blocked shots were not recorded. Nor were turnovers. Now I am sure that Wilt had some turnovers in his high PER seasons, but his blocked shots and offensive rebounding numbers would certainly have more than offset the TOs.

I suspect that Wilt's 31.8 seasons would have been considerably higher...perhaps 33+.

Wilt never won 73 games while putting up scary numbers.. Not like Curry is making layups all day either.. Curry is that guy we have all been waiting for. HE IS CHANGING THE GAME... He could have scored 60 last night easily on ridiculous efficiency...


CANT WAIT FOR THE PLAYOFFS... Doubt Curry can be as great as he has been all season in the playoffs..

i think both have staying power.. But the greater accomplishment is THE 73 WINS.. Dominique scored 45 on like 25 shots and only 8 free throws after his achilles injury.. He then scored 48 on 31 shots a couple of nights later on great efficiency as well...

Kobe will always be remembered as a scorer and that is the way he went out... PERFECT ENDING FOR HIM.. Though it would have been much better in the playoffs...

if you look at it like that, it was easier to be a high scorer in the 80s than it is now .. there were far more 25+ ppg scorers then vs now.

He will have higher numbers, book it mate. :pimp:

If he does than I would acknowledge this season as the best ever IMO... The dude is incredible..

[CuterThanRubio]

Why are people still debating this?

Only insecure Jordan fanboys are doubting it.

If it was so easy in this era then why isn't anyone else playing at his level?

word.. when MJ was setting his career highs in scoring '85 - '90 there were 18 (http://www.basketball-reference.com/play-index/psl_finder.cgi?request=1&match=single&type=totals&per_minute_base=36&per_poss_base=100&lg_id=NBA&is_playoffs=N&year_min=1985&year_max=1990&franch_id=&season_start=1&season_end=-1&age_min=0&age_max=99&height_min=0&height_max=99&shoot_hand=&birth_country_is=Y&birth_country=&birth_state=&college_id=&draft_year=&is_active=&debut_yr_nba_start=&debut_yr_nba_end=&debut_yr_aba_start=&debut_yr_aba_end=&is_hof=&is_as=&as_comp=gt&as_val=&award=&pos_is_g=Y&pos_is_gf=Y&pos_is_f=Y&pos_is_fg=Y&pos_is_fc=Y&pos_is_c=Y&pos_is_cf=Y&qual=&c1stat=pts_per_g&c1comp=gt&c1val=25&c2stat=&c2comp=gt&c2val=&c3stat=&c3comp=gt&c3val=&c4stat=&c4comp=gt&c4val=&c5stat=&c5comp=gt&c6mult=1.0&c6stat=&order_by=pts_per_g) other 25+ ppg scorers in the game. Past 5 years there have been just 12 (http://www.basketball-reference.com/play-index/psl_finder.cgi?request=1&match=single&type=totals&per_minute_base=36&per_poss_base=100&lg_id=NBA&is_playoffs=N&year_min=2011&year_max=2016&franch_id=&season_start=1&season_end=-1&age_min=0&age_max=99&height_min=0&height_max=99&shoot_hand=&birth_country_is=Y&birth_country=&birth_state=&college_id=&draft_year=&is_active=&debut_yr_nba_start=&debut_yr_nba_end=&debut_yr_aba_start=&debut_yr_aba_end=&is_hof=&is_as=&as_comp=gt&as_val=&award=&pos_is_g=Y&pos_is_gf=Y&pos_is_f=Y&pos_is_fg=Y&pos_is_fc=Y&pos_is_c=Y&pos_is_cf=Y&qual=&c1stat=pts_per_g&c1comp=gt&c1val=25&c2stat=&c2comp=gt&c2val=&c3stat=&c3comp=gt&c3val=&c4stat=&c4comp=gt&c4val=&c5stat=&c5comp=gt&c6mult=1.0&c6stat=&order_by=pts_per_g) to exceed that mark .. was a more free flowing up and down offensive environent back then.



Its also kind of shocking how awful superstars were at shooting the 3 ball back then. Dale Ellis is the only scorer out of that whole list to make 100 or more 3's in a season. Revered shooters like Larry Bird and Chris Mullin were only making 70-80 threes a season.. really puts Currys 400 into perspective. absolutely absurd.
