Lega Basket Serie A statistical leaders

Lega Basket Serie A statistical leaders are the season by season stats leaders of the top-tier level professional basketball league in Italy, the LBA (first division), and the all-time stats leaders of both the LBA and the Serie A2 (2nd division).

Top scorers by season

In basketball, points are the sum of the score accumulated through free throws or field goals. The LBA's scoring title is awarded to the player with the highest points per game average in a given regular season. Prior to the 1987–88 season, the league's Top Scorer was the player that scored the most total points in the league during the season. Since the 1987–88 season, the league's Top Scorer is the player with the highest scoring average per game during the season.
