Who would win in a shoot out--prime Kobe or Durant?

[sportjames23]

Say it's Kobe from 2006 vs Durant from whatever year it was when he was tearing shit up. Both get hot and have an old fashion MJ vs Nique type shoot out.

Who wins the scoring battle in this one game?

Kobe would outscore but Durant would be close and more efficient..

[IncarceratedBob]

kobe was never a good shooter, just look at his percentages.

[G0ATbe]

81, outscored team by himself.

Until I see Durant do something of this tier itd be godbe and wouldn't be close.

What kind of dumbass question is this

2013 KD:28 PPG on 51/41/90

2014 KD:32 PPG on 50/38/89

2015 KD:26 PPG on 50/38/88 (he had a broken foot ffs)

Show me one season where Kobe comes close to those shooting %?

KD is the GOAT scorer and the GOAT shooter

[ISHGoat]

kd is quite possibly the goat scorer

about a dozen players in the nba can currently do what prime kobe did if they were given the green light

[SouBeachTalents]

Jayson Williams

KD is the GOAT scorer and the GOAT shooter

GOAT shooter belongs to Curry.

GOAT shooter belongs to Curry.

KD has a 50/40/90 season....Curry doesn't.

Their best shooting seasons.

KD:28 ppg....51/41/90
SC:24 ppg....48/42/90

you gotta remember that Durant played with Westbrook while putting up those numbers, he was a spot up shooter and Westbrook was the one getting doubled, that's why he was shooting 50/40.

but once westbrook got injured, look at what happened. Kobe-like FG%.

Curry is a much much better shooter.

Nikka what??

Westbrook missed jan 2014...and in that month KD averaged 36/6/6 on a 54/44/89....that's GOD LIKE

Give the man his due...he is the GOAT shooter

[scm5]

2006 Kobe would most likely outscore Durant. He was on another level offensively that season.

[Cold soul]

2006 Kobe played at higher level that Durant hasn't come close too showing or likely will ever reach.

[j3lademaster]

On fire Kobe > any other on fire player ever. Durant will give you insane 30 ppg 60 ts seasons and as an overall scorer you can make an argument out of it, but prime Kobe on fire is the goat reg season scorer, even trumping MJ.

Scenario in the op isn't even a discussion. Kobe, Kobe, Kobe. When dude was on he was just that good.
