Good question!!! another good one, how many ppg would durant score if the rims were an inch smaller in diameter????

He'd be a little below Melo. Melo honestly gets less calls then he deserves.

If the NBA were completely fair, not only would Durant get a few less calls, but Melo would get a couple more calls.


KD would be right around 25-26. Melo would be around 29-30.

I'm guessing if you took away all the points he got this year that came from iffy/touch fouls, he might lose not even half a point. Funny to see LeBron stans legit think he's getting 6-8 points every single game from BS fouls alone.

I'd say on average, he's got roughly 3.5 points PPG on bogus calls. Roughly 2 bad calls per game. Is that really so unreasonable?

Bron makes less than 6 FT's a game. Even if every foul on him were a 'bs foul' you would still be full of shit.

It's not just on free throws where his stats get inflated. Once the refs start calling so many touch fouls defenders are forced to back off of him, at which point he can drive for an easy layup or shoot an open J. If Durant were officiated the same way as Melo he would probably average between 23-25 ppg, on much worse efficiency.

Yess, his efficiency gets inflated because when he gets bailed out on a miss, it's as if his miss never happened.

Excellent points. So much sense being made, and clearly by level-headed, objective posters. Especially you JT123. Durant gets so many BS calls over the course of an 82 game season, it's inflated his scoring by 7-9 PPG. Nothing wrong with that logic at all.
