McGrady: This is my top five singles champion in NBA history! Harden is on the list with one data, and it is undisputed
3:37pm, 18 July 2025【Basketball】
Elegant and free, white horse and silver spear are free to advance and retreat among the troops, and only score one by one cannot defend, and they won the top scorer in career 2. When McGrady talks about the "one-on-one challenge" in the NBA arena, I guess she is very confident, right?
"Jordan starts, then Kobe, and Anthony comes with another one. Durant has to be arranged, and the last position is left for Harden!" This is McGrady's answer to his mind about the top five singles champions in NBA history in his mind a few days ago.
Of course some people agree and some people disagree. So if you are asked to choose, which players can squeeze out these five? We thought about it for a while, as far as singles are concerned, McGrady and Pierce can naturally be on the list, but it is indeed undisputed to choose these five!
Jordan needs no need to say anything, a representative of both offense and defense. You should know that even if he averages his average of 30.1 points in the last two seasons, his regular season score is still ranked first in history with 33.4 points per game in the playoffs, and he has not yet been reached!
In addition, Jordan has 10 scoring champions. In the future, even if some players want to challenge, the difficulty is no less than James' 40,000 points! As for why James was not on the list, McGrady did not give an explanation.
In the show, when McGrady gave these five candidates, no one asked on the spot why there was no James. After all, I also admitted that I was a team player! In terms of game style, seeking pick-and-roll is also James' main way.
Billups, as a celebrity who has met Kobe many times, has mentioned Kobe's skills more than once in the show in recent years that Kobe's skills are the best among players. In his opinion, Kobe may not be the best player, but he is definitely a master of skills!
Average of 24.99 points in his career, far less than Jordan and Durant and only 0.3 points more than Curry. However, if you consider that the substitute in the first two seasons of his career and multiple injuries in the later stage, averaged 13.8 points and 17.6 points per game in the season, would you find how strong Kobe scored at his peak?
The highest score in a single season was 35.4 points, 62 points in three quarters, and 81 points in a single game is still a record that has not been broken in the 21st century and this score is much more valuable than Chamberlain. Moreover, Kobe's singles chances are actually quite rare. If you don't double-team, you can imagine how high his scoring and shooting percentage will be?
Anthony is in a similar situation, with a career average of only 22.5 points, but don't forget that people call it "offensive kaleidoscope" and is known as the "Captain America" in international competitions.
In terms of shooting, Anthony is very explosive and has excellent offensive skills at the basket. It is really difficult to limit him in 1v1. In the eyes of players, the data cannot fully reflect the players' true abilities, and Anthony's on the list will also convince most fans.
Durant's efficiency is there, and his shooting percentage is no less than 50% for 12 consecutive seasons! This is a set of data that James, who pursues extremely high efficiency and plays in terms of fast breaks and layups, has not yet achieved!
The current average of 27.2 points in his career can also show Durant's singles ability. As far as the game is concerned, you can often see it pulling away at critical moments, and the result is often a one-on-one shot, which is confidence!
Finally, Harden has a career average of 24.1 points. However, since the NBA entered the 21st century, it has maintained a record of 36.1 points per game in a single season and has played 78 games this season!
Harden is good at first place, breaking through or taking a step back three-pointer is enough to get the score! And the data set in the figure below can make it undisputed! It comes from the chart listed by the media NBA University for singles last season:
Among them, it can be seen that the Bearded One wins 673 times, and Alexander, ranked second, has only 533 times!
Harden can score 1.06 points in every single match. In terms of so many single matches, he can still achieve high efficiency, which means that the actual single match ability is not inferior to Durant, who has 277 singles in the season and can score 1.16 points per round!
