FOR the second time, the National Basketball Association will have an international player as its scoring champion.Philadelphia’s Joel Embiid—who was born in Cameroon—is on the cusp of becoming a back-to-back scoring champion, though he and Dallas’s Luka Doncic might take that race down to the wire.
Embiid now has 2,110 points in 64 games for an average of 32.97 per game. Doncic has 2,096 points, also in 64 games for an average of 32.75 per game. Portland’s Damian Lillard is third in the scoring race at 32.2 points per game. He’ll finish at that average, because the Trail Blazers have shut him down for the rest of the season given that they are out of playoff contention.
This could be the closest scoring race in more than a decade. The last time the scoring title was decided by less than a half-point per game was 2011-12, when Oklahoma City’s Kevin Durant edged the Los Angeles Lakers’ Kobe Bryant by 0.17 points per game—Durant averaged 28.03, Bryant averaged 27.86.
