Michael Jordan is ranked 3rd in all time NBA scoring, but is tied for the NBA all time points per game list with Wilt Chamberlain. Over Jordan's 15 year NBA career, and Chamberlain's 14 year career, they are the only 2 players in NBA history to average over 30 points per game.

There are 3 activce players in the Top 10 career PPG leaders, Allen Iverson (27.7), LeBron James (27.3) and Shaq (25.2). This list was created at the start of the 2008-2009 NBA season, so Shaq will probably drop out of the Top 10 as he doesn't put up the numbers he once did.
