    The National Basketball Association (NBA) is the highest-level professional basketball league based in North America that consists of 30 teams. Michael Jordan is widely known as one of the highest scorers in NBA history of all time, having won 10 titles in his professional basketball career.

    It is also the major professional league in Canada and the United States. The league was founded 77 years ago on 6 June 1946 as a BAA, and the first season of this league was organized in 1946-47.

    The National Basketball Association (NBA) awards the player with the highest points total in a league season with the scoring title. The scoring title was previously determined by points per game and looked at the team leader in points per game until the 1968-69 season.

    After that, the NBA began to award the title based on the player with the highest points total in a season. The NBA also introduced the My Three-Point Field Goal during the 1979-80 season.
