As dominant a scorer as Kobe was, it's strange how he only won 2 scoring titles.

[Mr. Jabbar]

from 01-10 there was only one time the scoring leader averaged less than 30 per game

from 10-15 there has only been on time the scoring leader averaged more than 30 per game

the colluding era. just 1 ball.

He probably would have won more if he didn't play with Shaq. Of course, he would have 3 less rings...so i doubt he minds.

[Stu Jackson]

kobe is not a dominant scorer he just forced the issue

lebron is not either

[TheMarkMadsen]

great we've got a new poster digging up old Kobe threads to hate on him

you'll fit in great around here

need to balance out stupidity with a harsh dose of reality

Didn't he finish top 5 like 11 times? Top 3 a bunch of other times? Consistently great.

Scoring titles = one of the most overrated accolades. I'll take almost any of Kevin Durant's scoring over any singular accolade notched by Kobe and Allen Iverson because of efficience.

Scoring appeals are mainly impressive because it's a superficiality that to take at face value--either for confirmation bias or because they have a perfunctory thought process that neglects to critically contextualize.

Most people are too enamored by flashiness over substance that they do not put on their GM-thinking caps on and break down players well. If Allen Iverson's 39.8%-shooting scoring title enhances the resume in the eyes of a GM, more faithful suppositions are that the GM is concerned more about selling seats in game than winning games that season.
