Wouldn’t this just be points? The “per game” is the x axis.

I don’t think you understand how data works…
1. This is a discrete data set, for starters. There is no datapoint between the games, so there should be no continuous line
2. Your title mentions points per game – this is just points scored, with correlated games…

the moaners below (above) are talking about ppg being shorthand for *average* points per game. I think this is fine. Though I would rather see dates along the X axis.

as a not-super-sportsy-or-data person, points per game made absolute sense to me. It’s pretty obviously not a rolling PPG average.

The simple headline that he scored the second most points in a single game in NBA history conveys the important information much better here.
it’s not that Bam is so good, it’s that the rest of his team is so bad
