NBA Has reached 2,000 points in less than 80 games, like Michael Jordan
Like the legends. It is the scoring rhythm of New Orleans Pelicans player Zion Williamson After his first 79 NBA games, has exceeded 2,000 points, after the 33 he scored against the Spurs and that leave him exactly at 2,024.
In the last 40 years, no one had been able to handle such figures. Only Michael Jordan had surpassed 2,000 points in less than 80 games, accumulating 2,234 points. For comparison, LeBron James stayed at 1,654, Kobe Bryant scored 669 and Luka Doncic reached 1,713.
According to NBA.com, in the history of the competition, including Williamson, only 10 players have managed to reach 2,000 points from the same games and all are legends: Wilt Chamberlain, Walt Bellamy, Oscar Robertson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Elvin Hayes, el citado Jordan, George Mikan, Elgin Baylor y Rick Barry.
The only difference that separates Zion from all these basketball legends is that he has needed far fewer minutes than most of them: 585 less than Jordan, 753 less than Abdul-Jabbar and 1,182 less than Chamberlain.
Rival defenses fear him. His average per game this course is 27 points and his physical conditions are intimidating. Williamson is 2.01 meters tall, weighs 128 kilos, and is only 20 years old. He is currently the eighth best scorer of the season. Throughout his career in the League, his average is 25.6. If your knees allow it, you can mark an era like the myths with which you share payroll.
