In the 2008-09 season, Dwyane Wade led scoring (30.2 a game), Dwight Howard led rebounds (13.8) and blocks (2.92), and Chris Paul led assists (11.0).

Regular season only: NBA Cup group games count, the Cup final and the play-in do not. Per-game and per-36 lists need 58 games (the NBA’s 70% rule), and per-36 also needs 500 minutes. The percentage boards use the league’s own thresholds — 300 field goals, 125 free throws and 82 threes made. Totals are not gated at all: nobody is disqualified from having scored the most points.
