Was LeBron James ever the best scorer in the league?

[StateOfMind12]

Kobe finally got a good team in 2007-08, if he would've had the same team as 06 and 07, it would've been another 31.6-35.4 PPG season

Pretty much, which is why I don't think Lebron was a better scorer than Kobe in '08, '09, or '10. You can't fault Kobe for finally having talent and offensive scoring weapons to work with. It would be like saying that Robinson was a better scorer than Hakeem in '94 or Ewing was a better scorer than Hakeem in '90 because he scored more ppg than him. Is there anyone out there that actually thought either Ewing or Robinson was a better scorer than Hakeem then?

Kobes shoot are always gonna be more high difficulty so hence the fg%.

Lebron gets alot of dunks layups & stuff like that.

So if shots are harder to hit,that means you see a better score on the board at the end of the game???
No of course not.You still get 2.Bad shot selection doesn't make a better player this is why
Lets do an analogy
Assume there are two cars that goes 150mph,which one would you pick one with 10mpg or 15 mpg
This is as simple as that.There is no detailed calculations here.Basketball is a very simple game.Only purpose of the game is to score more than the other team at the end.This doesn't change whether its a regular season game or finals game.

Artis Gimore has the highest career FG% at 59.9% - He is the GOAT

You know he averaged 17.1ppg during a much faster era which if you do the calculations,he would have averaged 15.5ppg and so there goes your logic.Please make a sane comment

Maybe not, but he has definitely been the best player since 07

LeBron lead the league in scoring. LeBron shoots a higher % than other players, and scores at a similar pace. But your argument is basically player A may score more, and more efficiently, but player B looks better when he does it.

Kobe is only better than LeBron in anything in the sense that Rasheed is better than Duncan because he can hit left handed threes.

LOL I would even prefer pierce/allen as scorers than him. The best scorer shouldnt be stopped by a SIMPLE ZONE DEFENSE.

tHATS why you can win with pierce/allen but not with lebron

Sooooooo...... If I understand the argument, Kobe is a better scorer because he misses cooler looking shots?

Your post looks too retarded to be serious, but LeBron and Pierce just played the Indiana Pacers...

LeBron went for 33/8/13 on 12/21 shooting, while Pierce went 10/7/3 on 3/17 shooting...

I think youre the one retarded here. Im not comparing 35 yr old pierce to prime lebron. LOL Im comparing pierce who won a ring and lebron who choked in the finals.
