Durant's having the GOAT scoring season

[kuniva_dAMiGhTy]

Dantley was a black hole who had a negative impact on his TEAMS offense. He would use elaborate post ups that would eat up the shot clock and result in an easy shot, foul, or him passing it to a teammate with 3 seconds left on the shot clock for a contested shot.

Also he played in an era where there was a ridiculous pace. In today's league, Dantley averages 26~ ppg if you adjust for pace.

You're using "context" now. Good job.

Statistically it's up there, but if you look at scoring numbers without context then Dantley has also had better scoring seasons than MJ. I'll take the guy who can explode for big games more often and relies less on suspect foul calls, personally. People on ISH are underrating it in general though.

Dantley 82-83: 30.7 ppg on 58.0 FG%/66.1 TS%/18.3 FGA

GOAT

GOAT

You do realize he played 22 games that season, right?

What do you mean by 'even' Larry Bird? You spit out his name as if he were some average scorer, lol.

I meant that Bird had a better scoring season in similar fashion and not even that season is considered the GOAT scoring season...

There were many actual better scoring seasons, if 28renyoy was able to dettach Durants skinny genitals out of his face he would be able to see it...

He did the same thing next season

30.6 ppg on 18.2 shots SO EFFICIENT

Oh the irony. I'm amazed that you continue to use FG%, but I guess it makes since seeing as it supports LeBron.

You do realize your favorite stat, PER, even uses TS%, correct?

[CavaliersFTW]

50 points per game

Dantley posted
30.6 ppg 65.2 TS% while leading an offense that wasn't even top 5 in the league

Adjusted Durant to that team's pace and he's averaging
33.5 ppg 65.7 TS% while anchoring one of the greatest offenses in NBA history

[chazzy]

He is literally nothing but a jumpshooter at this point in his career and he's still averaging 8 FTA

So what does that make Durant?

Shots at the rim

Durant - 183
Kobe - 189

No adjusting. Post his numbers.

LOL why are you guy's clowning Dantley? He was nice on those Knick teams.

He never played for the Knicks bro

[Doctor Rivers]

Unmatched combination of volume/efficiency when adjusted for pace. He's not only doing it on 50/40/90, but he's also doing it while playing off the ball.

And his past 35 games...

31.1 ppg on 53/44/92 67.1 TS%

LeBron >> Durant

[SilkkTheShocker]

OP, we should wait until Durant is at least on Dantley's level before we make this thread
