I just don't think it's likely - Harden averaged 36 last yr

and that was an anomaly of late - you'd have to go back to Kobe in 2005 for the last person to be over 35, and before that it was MJ in 86. I am not saying Harden is as good as any of those guys, and I personally hate his game, but the dude has maximized the ability to play within today's rules to increase his scoring. 3s and FTs. Averaging 40 in the modern game would be insane. The amount of traps and rotations has largely taken away ISO ball and dominant scorers, to some degree.

I mean, it's possible. I just don't think it's likely. Especially not Magic. His career average is under 20 PPG. Possibly Bird or Jordan in their prime, for a season or 2. Not consistently.
