Who's a better scorer Kevin Durant or Michael Jordan?

[GilSho]

A year ago I would've said Jordan no question but after watching Durant give LeBron that work in these Finals I'm slowly having a change of heart.

35.5 PPG
10.5 RPG
7.0 APG
1.5 SPG
2.5 BPG
56.3 FG% / 50.0 3P% / 90.9 FT%

This has to be the best Finals performance ever through the first 2 games.

I think Durant will firmly be in the GOAT discussions 5 years from now if he strings 4/5 rings together with this sort of dominating play against the consensus best player of his generation.

Jordan's number of 40 and 50 point games shyt on Durant's. Durant's probably tied for 2nd with Kobe and the Dr.

 

[Jplaya2023]

Jordan easily but kd is special

 

[KingJay]

Michael Jordan
Dude averaged 30 for a career, and that's counting those BS years in Washington. Durant's averaged 30 twice in his whole career.

Take out the Washington years and MJ has a career average of 31.5ppg, KD's only had one season better than that career average.

KD's best season is 32ppg, MJ has 5 years averaging more than that. Man was averaging 37ppg, 35ppg, etc.

Mans' CAREER playoff average was 33.4ppg
He AVERAGED 41/8.5/6.3 against the Suns in the finals with guys like Dan Marjle on him

Jordan never played with another guy who had to score to have an impact the way KD has his whole career. Pippen averaged, what 16 for his career and no more than 22 in a season? If Durant didn't have to share with Westbrook (a great all time scorer) and now Curry (a great all time scorer) he would easily average 38. He's the best I've seen

 

[Brozay]

I wonder how MJ would look wth the attention Russ and Steph draw

 

[Sonny Corinthos]

Yeaaaaaa lets not

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

Jordan obviously has a greater body of work, but Durant is right up there with him in terms of ability and peak. When it's all said and done, Durant will probably be looked at as 1b.

 

[Made Myself A Boss]

Stop the madness it's easy to look good when you're playing with 3 other All Stars... one of them being the leagues back-to-back MVP...

The Cavs and the Warriors are not equal in talent

they're blowing teams out but let the game be close and let's see how his shot is falling then and that's when you'll be able to determine who's better between him and Jordan...

 

[Lweezy]

Jordan wasnt carried to the finals by a 73-9 super team and Jordan didn't play with the unanimous MVP.

 

[KingJay]

Durant's been great, but we've definitely seen better finals performances...
Hakeem averaging 33/11.5/5.5/2/2 while sweeping Shaq
Shaq averaging 38/17 on 61%FG against Indiana(all 3 Shaq chips in LA honestly)
MJ averaging 41/8.5/6.3 on Phoenix
I'm far from a Bron fan, but if we want to go specific games I'll take his 36/12/10/3/3 over the last 3 games to comeback from 3-1 on GS over this too

 

[Illeye buckmatic]

Durant is one of the best scorers I ever seen but there's a reason why MJ is the goat

Super high scoring games

But yeah, Durant is a top 10 player

 

[BigTyme Records]

MJ by far ,,,,Check his 91 and 93 finals stats

 

[brother walt]

to know this u would have to add prime Malone.pippen,and magic to Jordan team its only fair right since Durant have the same thing
