So Kobe gets the final game to win scoring title.

[Westbrook0]

Thunder play their final game on Wednesday.

Lakers play their final game on Thursday.

That means Kobe will know EXACTLY how many points he needs to win the scoring title going into his final game.

That means Kobe will have the opportunity to jack up shots all game and be sure to hit that total before sitting out.

The scoring title is more important to some people here than Kobe and KD

As long as it doesn't get in the way of winning, I don't see the problem. Kudos to a dude in his 16th year that can put up that many points.

[The Macho Man]

I hope they both shoot 40+ times last game.

[Rnbizzle]

Both of them will try to get it.

[HylianNightmare]

i hope they just feed him the ball and get him the title like they did with rob

[pegasus]

They both should try to get it, and there's no shame in it, but only honor in the end.

[Real Men Wear Green]

Bryant clearly likes to shoot a lot but if he cared as much about the title as he'd have to to justify the conspiracy theories we've seen he'd have more than 2. LA is trying to win a Championship and if they get their offense right with a heavier emphasis on Bynum posting they have a real chance. Bryant wants a 6th ring more than another scoring title. And he's got it close to locked up anyway, Durant has to get 50 point games to catch him at this point.

Kobe will win this. He'll shot +25 if he has to but he'll get it.

[talkingconch]

I just want to win out, durant could have it damn

Not really. Durant needs to score 6-7 more points to surpass Kobe at this point.

[Heavincent]

I don't think Kobe cares about it as much as people think he does. If he did, he would have taken more than 12 shots last night.

[LABean]

Durant cares about it. Kobe does not.

Durant could have had a triple double yesterday, but decided to score.
He kept missing. If they were playing a decent team, they might have lost thanks to him.
Luckily they were playing the Kings.

[MJ(Mean John)]

What Are the stats?

How many games left
And how many total points?

Games played?

[StateOfMind12]

Lakers have two games left, one of them being against the Thunder while the Thunder have three games left.

I think Durant will take the scoring title lead on Sunday. Kobe can't do anything against Thabo or elite defenses or elite perimeter defenders for that matter while Durant is the best and most unstoppable scorer in the league today.
