With Allen Iverson possibly sitting out the rest of the regular season, the question is whether he has enough points to win the scoring title. Bob Vetrone JR. of the Daily News breaks down the statistical possibilities.

To be eligible for the NBA scoring crown, a player must reach a minimum of games (70) or points (1,400). Although Iverson will finish with just 60 games played, he surpassed the points minimum on Feb. 23, so his 31.4 average qualifies. Shaquille O'Neal, second in scoring at 26.9 points per game, must average 45.4 points in his final 13 games to surpass Iverson.

Iverson also leads the league in steals but may have some competition from Indiana's Ron Artest. With 168 steals, Iverson has more than the 125 minimum, so his 2.80 average qualifies. Artest will need 48 steals in the Pacers final 13 games (3.69 average) to overtake Iverson. While statistically not likely, Artest does have 11 games this season with 4 or more steals so it's not out of the realm of possibility.

Iverson's injury means he must wait until next season for one individual achievement. When he scored his 10,000th point on Jan. 21, his career scoring average (currently sixth, at 26.9) qualified to be ranked among the NBA's all-time leaders. Had he not gotten hurt and maintained his average of 31.4 through the end of the season, he would have moved just ahead of Jerry West (27.03) for fifth place.
