Durant and Lebron are the only players today that are capable of having 50 point games on a consistent basis but they are on teams that don't need them to score in the 40's or 50's in order for them to win.

By the end of the year it will be a cpl, I'm sure Durant will have one, probably Melo, maybe love or larmarcus can sneak one in

Durant can score 50 if he attempts 25+ FTs like he did vs Dallas last season. Lebron scored over 50 like 3 times in his 11 year career :camby:

Melo can score 50 with ease. Did you see him vs Miami last season? PG could do it. Kyrie could do it.

Lebron had 8 50 point games in his first 6 seasons in Cleveland...

Lebron is more interested in playmaking than scoring. Carmelo can't score 50 on a consistent basis and neither can Kyrie.

Funny enough Melo is the player with 3 50 point games and he takes enough shots to score 50, but he isn't that good of a scorer.
