Who has the NBA record for the highest scoring average in the Playoffs?

Hit he has been the Defensive Players of the year in the NBA.|||The answer is of course Michael Jordan, with an unbelievable 33.4 points per game average.|||Steve Nash?|||The highest NBA Finals scoring average for a 7 game series is held by Elgin Baylor with a 40.6 points per game average in 1962.





The most points in a game in a NBA Finals is 61 by Elgin Baylor in 1962.





The highest regular season scoring average behind Wilt Chamberlain is 38.3 points per game by Elgin Baylor in 1961-1962.





As a rookie in 1958-59, Elgin Baylor finished fourth in the league in scoring (24.9 points per game), third in rebounding (15.0 rebounds per game), and eighth in assists (4.1 assists per game). Elgin Baylor registered 55 points in a single regular season game as a rookie later as a veteran to score 71 points in a single regular season game.





Elgin Baylor averaged 19.8 rebounds per game for the entire 1960-61 regular season.





Elgin Baylor was on the First Team All NBA team 10 times in his career.





Back then there was no defensive player of the year award.





You might say in his prime that Elgin Baylor was Dr. J and MJ roled up into one.|||umm let me guess bill walton.|||That would be you.





Why? Because you took more shots than anyone in playoff history.





Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is second in number of points scored in the playoffs. He played in 58 more playoff games than you did, yet you took more shots than he did.





What's even more amazing is that you took off a year (1994), so your attempted field goals would be even higher. Talk about ball-hogging........





And your not even close to being the best in FG%, so it's not like you were one of the most accurate shooters ever. You took 75 more shots than Kareem, yet he made 168 MORE shots than you did.





Considering that you played more for your scoring stats than trying to help your team win, it's not suprising that you are the leader in playoff points.|||bill walton is such a hypocrite|||Michael Jordan|||Michael Jordan








nash sucks|||[ be honest. you know the answer already, what is the point of asking. ]

EDIT: Bill Walton? hahaha.|||Luke Walton!
