QUESTION: Is Kevin Durant ALREADY A Better Scorer Than Kobe?

[Goatpoacher]

These Tea-baggers are really qualifying Kobe's stupid shot selection as a positive thing...

 

[Thegospel]

They are like 2a/2b to me. KD would have to avg like 35 for a season to have the 2nd spot to himself. We all know nethere will touch MJ 37 per game as far as wing players go.

He's not choosing to be inefficient. He just doesnt use selective judgment when it comes to his shot selection. And we all know KD and Bron do.

That's a Fukkin fault.

Durant averages slightly less points on a much higher FG% because he's a smarter scorer.

35 on 45% isn't nearly as good as 32 on 51%.

Kobe took SEVEN MORE SHOTS A GAME TO GET 3 MORE POINTS!

SEVEN MORE SHOTS!

I just read in this thread that Kobe has no pullup jumper...

 

[Sulu]

[Amulet of Immortality]

Comparing Durant to Bryant is an insult, Kobe da gawd is levels above this dude.

That's a Fukkin fault.

Durant averages slightly less points on a much higher FG% because he's a bigger more athletic player


35 on 45% isn't nearly as good as 32 on 51%.

SEVEN MORE SHOTS!

If only kd had the same killer instinct alpha dog mentality as kobe, Westbrook has it but shoots a bad shot every other possession

If you got two dudes with similar scoring ability but one of them is 6'11 and super athletic but the other is 5'9 and not very stgletic, who is gonna be the more impactful scorer?

You think Dirk would be the scorer he is if he was Nate Robinson's size? You don't get difficulty points for being shorter and not as athletic. Allen Iverson ain't a better scorer than Lebron just because he's smaller.

Except KD has more scoring titles

KD have potential to break every scoring record in the regular season, but when the defenses get tight in the playoffs KD fold, Kobe can avg. 25 today vs. Grizz with just post ups, Kobe had NO WEAKNESSES...i can assure you one thing, they wasn't going to put Lee on him in the post, that's fukking disrespectful

Except KD scores more in the playoffs.

Durant scores just many points on less attempts from everywhere (from the rim to three point land) on the damn floor. Go look at the attempts and percentages.
