Joel Embiid was first in the league in points per game the last two seasons. He leads the league in ppg again this season. Who was the last big man who had the most points per game in the NBA three years in a row?

I'd guess it goes all the way back to Wilt.

I'd guess it goes all the way back to Wilt.
And that reminds me -- any further guesses as to who was an all-star for two different franchises in the same city?

My guess is Norm Nixon, Lakers and Clippers.

Not who I had in mind, but it turns out to be correct. His All-Star season with the Clippers was their first year in LA.
The guy I'm thinking of is much more prominent. In fact:Spoiler:

The latest was Bob McAdoo, before him was Wilt, and before him was Mikan, and that's it.

Oh, now I get it. I was focussing on New York and LA only. But I forgot that Wilt played for the Philadelphia Warriors and the Philadelphia 76ers.

Note: The 6MotY award was introduced in the early 1980s. So John Havlicek never won it.
