![]() ![]() James has led the league in scoring once before. If LeBron keeps it up, he would beat that record at age 37. Michael Jordan at 35 is the oldest player to lead the NBA in scoring in a season. This is your reminder that James turned 37 years old in December. At the age of 35, Jordan is currently the oldest player in NBA history to lead the league in scoring with 28.7 points per game. Michael Jordan did it three times while Stephen Curry, James Harden and Jerry West each did it once. Only six times has anyone over the age of 30 led the league in scoring. Whether or not he will win the scoring title remains to be seen, but James would become the oldest player in NBA history to ever lead the league in scoring if he does. With less than a month to go in the season, James finds himself in a three-man race for the scoring title, with him, Joel Embiid and Giannis Antetokounmpo each averaging 29.7 points per game.
