"Kevin Durant will become a better scorer than Michael Jordan." - Stephen A. Smith

[kuniva_dAMiGhTy]

I could believe that Durant proves haters wrong all the time

Saying that he isn't a better scorer than Jordan is hating now?

Why are people so obsessed with crowning anyone new, the greatest ever at something.

Anything for ratings.

could possibly become... okay.

has the tools to become... sure. with a crapload of development and work.

Will become... that's just dumb.

he's nowhere close to either Kobe or Jordan in their primes. Hell, he's still not come close to what Iverson did his first few years in the league, or T-MAC in his prime.

Steven A, say no to drugs.

Jordan could give it to you any which way you wanted it. Inside, outside. Dunks, layups, post, midrange, long distance.

KD is a great shooter that is tall with long arms. Nothing more at this point.

the rules are tailor made for Durant to score a ton. He will be a prolific scorer for the next 10 years.

There are a lot of players now who can score nearly 25 a night though.

Phil Jackson, Craig Hodges, Joe Dumars etc. and a lot of others who played with MJ and coached today all say he would have no problem averaging 40 a game with the current rules in place. His defense wouldn't have been as good since he couldn't use his hands as much but look at the people who can FT's so easily today? MJ would get free throws all game long and with less contact, he would have more energy as well.

I watch a lot of games today and the old games too. There is no resistance on the perimeter now, we got great athletes today but everybody looks extra fast when they move freely and don't get hit.

Not 3rd year but also Kobe's 35+ppg

Did you watch the season though? It's was ugly Kobe ball and not effective at all. 28 shots a game? Arenas proved that scoring over 30 a game doesn't mean you have to be all that special.

Jordan > Whoever

[DevilsAssassin]

is Jordan a better scorer than Kobe?

[Collie]

is Jordan a better scorer than Kobe?

By all objective measures he is.

[97 bulls]

Why do people love to try to overrate every accomplishment a player does? Damn allow the mans career to play out. He doesn't have the post game of jordan, he doesn't attack the basket like jordan. His midrange game isn't on par with jordan. Durants better than jordan at. Shooting the 3.

But please okc fans. I like the thunder. And respect durant. Especially seeing as how he didn't pull a bich move and try to join up with other great players like litterraly every other star player in the nba. I'm even pulling for them to win the championship if the bulls don't get it.

But please don't be like the lebron fans, the wade fans, the kobe fans, etc.

He'll score more points but that's because he'll have a longer career.
