As an aside, here's a fun little number I just sent out via twitter:
Coming into tonight's game, Demarcus Cousins is on the 5th highest scoring pace in NBA history. Only MJ (3 times), and Kobe in his epic 05-06 season have ever scored points at this rate.
Pts per 100 possessions:
1) 86-87 Jordan 46.4
2) 05-06 Bryant 45.6
3) 87-88 Jordan 43.6
4) 92-93 Jordan 43.0
5) 16-17 Cousins 42.8
6) 89-90 Jordan 42.7
7) 90-91 Jordan 42.7
8) 15-16 Curry 42.5
9) 95-96 Jordan 42.5
10) 81-82 Gervin 42.4
11) 16-17 Westbrook 42.4
