Curry averaged 30.1 points per game on 50/40/90 shooting splits that season, and also won the scoring title, the first of his career. Last season was the second time he achieved the feat. He averaged 32 points per game, a career-best, which saw him land his second scoring title in the NBA.

Curry also finished third in MVP voting.

Bradley Beal averaged 31.3 points per game during the 2020-21 NBA season.

Bradley Beal has only improved his scoring with each passing season in the NBA. The 28-year old has been the Washington Wizards' primary scoring option for several years now. That has enabled him to play with great efficiency at the offensive end.

Beal has averaged 30+ points per game for two seasons in a row now. He averaged 30.5 points per game during the 2019-20 NBA campaign, and 31.3 points per game in the 2020-21 NBA season.

Despite his scoring prowess, Beal is yet to win the scoring title in the NBA. However, as he is expected to stay with the Wizards next season, one can expect him to have another 30+-points-per-game season and potentially win the scoring title.


#1 James Harden - 3 NBA seasons

James Harden averaged 30+ points per game in each of his last three full seasons with the Houston Rockets.

James Harden went on a historic scoring run in his last three full seasons with his former team, the Houston Rockets. More often than not, he had to bail them out of trouble single-handedly, which saw him do the majority of their scoring. Harden managed to score 30+ points per game in each of those three campaigns.

He averaged 30.4 points per contest in the 2017-18 season. He won his first scoring title that year and his first NBA MVP award as well. Harden followed that year with another sensational scoring season, this time averaging 36.1 points per game during the 2018-19 NBA season. He won his second straight scoring title in a row, in the process.

The 2019-2020 NBA season, Harden's last with the H-Town, also ended with him scoring 30+ points per game. He averaged 34.3 points per game that season, and won his third and latest scoring title in the NBA.
