 THIRD STRAIGHT SCORING TITLE
 ALL-MET ELITE

KEVIN DURANT 
MONTROSE CHRISTIAN H.S.
ROCKVILLE MD.

George Mikan, Wilt Chamberlain, Michael Jordan, Neil Johnston, Bob McAdoo and George Gervin all have something in common. They are all Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame members. They also are the only NBA players to be scoring champions three seasons in a row or more. Kevin Durant can now be added to that list. He's not in the Hall of Fame yet, but he did become just the seventh person to win the NBA's scoring title three years running. Jordan and Chamberlain accomplished the feat seven straight seasons, the only players to have more than three consecutive scoring titles. Durant finished the abbreviated NBA season with 28 points per game. His closest competitor, Kobe Bryant, was 38 points behind and had 27.9 points per contest. Bryant sat out the final game of the year saying, "I don't care about that."
