The 'NBA scoring champions since 1976-77' quiz

Happy 69th birthday to four-time NBA All-Star, four-time All-NBA selection, and 1984-85 NBA scoring champion, Bernard King!

King played 14 NBA seasons after being drafted seventh-overall by the New Jersey Nets in 1977 and promptly rewarded them with an All-Rookie season, averaging 24.2 points and 9.5 rebounds-per-game. After two years with the Nets, King made a brief stop in Utah and spent two seasons in Golden State, where he made his first All-Star team in 1981-82.

King’s longest tenures were four-year stints with the New York Knicks and Washington Bullets, and by the time he retired, King had racked up 19,655 points, 5,060 rebounds and 2,863 assists in his career. Those numbers were good enough to get King inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame with the class of 2013.

Which brings us to today’s quiz. King led the entire NBA with 32.9 points-per-contest in his Scoring-Championship campaign. With that being said, can you name every NBA Scoring Champion since the 1976-77 season?

Good luck!
