KD has had 3+ 48pts in the past 2 weeks

Yes. Durant has length advantage over Kobe. And I think Durant is more skilled with better judgement and bball IQ.

More skilled at what? Better ball handler? Post up game?

I remember the same being said about T-mac. We shall see how Durant does in the playoffs when teams shadow him all game.

[r0drig0lac]

He's averaging 37 this month.

He's an all around player too. Un ****ing real, hasn't even peaked yet.

this is their hope, not a certainty.

Man, standards for superstar scorers are so low these days. I remember Kobe having 40+ 8 straight games and 50+ in 4 straight another year


Call me when KD averages 40 for a month

best scorer in the nba. I dont get why he still didnt win any mvp awards.

He should have won last year but the media is so far up LeBron's ass

And he wasn't getting 50-75% of his points from the free throw line .
Don't compare Godbe's peak to Durant.

Durant has been the best pure scorer since Kobe 06/07 season. Durant is the 3rd best scorer in the last 20 years or so only MJ and Kobe were better.

I agree. Best stretch of scoring we have seen since Phil Jackson said "SCORE KOBE!" after that seven game losing streak in 07:

17 games:

40.2 ppg
47.4 FG%
Nine 40+ games
Seven 50+ games

Durant literally didn't have a single argument over LeBron last year.

Be happy LeBron is having a down year, and Durant will probably sneak an MVP.

Down year?

It's called sliding out of your prime.

[STATUTORY]

just a reminder of how weak this generation of scorers is

makes me truly appreciate someone like Kobe who put up 9 games of 40+ and 4 games of 50+

[brain drain]

Impressive for this weak era.
However, remember it is a weak era. If they played today in Durant's spot, Dantley would've averaged 45, Bernard King would've averaged 50, Bird would've had 55, Wilt 60 and Jordan as much as he wanted. Always remember, it's a weak era. Very weak.

[All Net]

Nuts.. MVP no doubt at this point.

Down year?

26/7/7 on 67% TS would be a top 3 season for Kobe. Whereas, it's one of Lebron's "worst" seasons.
