As a rookie in 1966-67 Rick Barry won the NBA scoring title at 35.6 per game and dropped 55 in Finals Game 6, then a Finals single-game record.

Barry's talent exploded from his very first night. In the 1966-67 rookie season he averaged 35.6 points and claimed the NBA scoring crown outright—a rookie topping every established star, staggering in any era.

Even more frightening was the Finals stage. In 1967 the (Philadelphia-era) Warriors reached the Finals against Wilt Chamberlain's 76ers; Barry hung 55 in Game 6, setting a then-Finals single-game record. The team lost the series, but the performance announced: this man was a scorer born to kill.

Scoring champion as a rookie and 55 in a Finals game—such a start guaranteed Barry would be mentioned alongside Jordan and Chamberlain. A league-hop detour interrupted his climb, or his stat sheet would look even wilder.
