That's my point.
It's EASIER for Kevin Durant to score like he is when he's playing along somebody he has the ball more than and takes more shots than in Russell Westbrook in comparision to Kobe who played almost half his career in the exact OPPOSITE situation.......which skews his overall numbers.
Again, without Shaq, Kobe is a career 28.5 ppg scorer. With Shaq he's a career 21.8 ppg scorer. Those arent made up stats. Those are actual facts.
Overall, Kevin Durant is a very good scorer, however, I cannot make the statement with a straight face that a player who's averaged 35.4 ppg in a season is less of a scorer than someone who's current career best is 30.1 ppg.
Just doesnt compute
you really are not making any sense with this post.
you just made yourself look and sound stooped, with the shaq versus russ argument.
as russ and shaq are elite players.
if kobe was that much better than Durant.
he would have shot better and lead the league in scoring with shaq.
all that extra shyt you put into the argument was deflection because you are wrong as fukk.
plus, ftbs clowned the hell out of you.
when, you brought those moneyball face ass stats into discussion.
which have nuffin to do with the actual reality or complexion of the game, or argument.
which is Durant is a better scorer than kobe.
I don't see how you can ever put kobe over Durant as a scorer.
when, Durant is easily a higher bball iq based player, teammate and more efficient shooter and scorer, than kobe.
if you watched and knew basketball.
you could easily see that.
on top of the fact,...when last time kobe met Durant perfectly healthy.
if kobe was better, than Durant.
he would have beat the thunder in the off's.
instead of creating a coup of his entire team, lockerroom, and coach.
not to mention,...
kobe is never effective wholely as a ballplayer unless phil is present.
when, phil is not present kobe exposes more negatively.
that ruins his legacy and the argument of how good he is.
when compared to bron and kd.
when, kobe had lesser pedigree'd coaching and auxilliary part that were not attached to phil.
he failed horrifically.
while Durant with awful won't work up talent and wnba style coaching scott brooks.
is making it to the finals, and winning scoring titles with ease.
whereas kobe needs phil, no shaq, and pedigree'd auxiliary parts to win one scoring title.
plus, when kobe is with an equipment manager, mike brown.
the same equipment manager bron had, in brown.
with higher pedigree'd and actualized players who won titles.
kobe gets smashed on by said thunder team and Durant and exposed, as a team cancer.
kobe is all phil Jackson, and was never a dominant player till phil single-handidly aided him.
