Ok, I'll play along.
Name all the players who averaged 16.7 points a game averaging 27 minutes or less a game.
It's plenty, correct?
You clearly weren't a basketball fan during the Isiah era...this is literally how he GM'd and it made following the NBA so painful that diehard knicks fans had to take a season or two off from the team, for the first time in decades, until his ass was shitcanned.
The way the sport functions makes "scoring" massively easier in the NBA than NHL, shotclock, backcourt violations, no goaltending, the basic mechanics of the game, etc. So "somebody has to score" is much more applicable in this sport, especially when you ignore efficiency.
You made a horrible analogy by bringing up the best scorer (and player) in the NHL not making the playoffs when we were talking about a guy who'd have to score nearly twice as much to enter that conversation in the NBA. This is a player on a shitty team putting up 45+ points in the NHL with 2nd line minutes & 1st unit PP opportunities. Not the f***ing Art Ross winner.
