The Toronto Raptors guard is off to the best scoring start in the last 30 years.

DeMar DeRozan's hot start to the season has continued and now he's entered rare air.

The Toronto Raptors guard scored 34 points in his team's 96-87 win over Miami on Friday, marking the fifth game in a row he's scored at least 30 points.

DeRozan is the first man to accomplish that feat since Michael Jordan did it to start the 1986-87 season. Jordan averaged 37.1 points per game that season, the highest scoring average of his illustrious career and the fifth-highest in league history.



DeRozan's scoring totals so far this season are as follows: 40, 32, 33, 40 and 34. He's doing it efficiently, shooting above 54 percent on the season and has helped his team to a 4-1 start. So far he appears to be worth every penny of the $139 million deal he got in the offseason.
