    The funny this is, I've only seen one Durant stan (28renyoy/joyner) and most Melo 'stans' are just really optimistic Knicks fans.

    Maybe it's HOW he gets to the line and not HOW MANY times.

    Or in the case of Durant both.

    If you watch OKC you can see that a lot of fouls that Durant draws are phantom calls or weak ass fouls.

    Him going to the line a lot raises his FG% (when you miss a shot and you're fouled it doesn't count as a missed field goal attempt) and also results in defenders not being able to pressure him because they know refs will call a foul even if they breathe on him.

    I don't need statistical evidence. I watch games and I know Durant gets most phantom fouls in the league,and BY FAR.

    People blame him because he is smart and takes advantage of the bad refeering. Doesn't matter what they say though, still the best scorer today.

    Doesn't matter what you say, scoring off bad refereeing doesn't make you the best scorer today, it makes you babied by the league and is covering up flaws.

    Durant is a very good scorer, but some of the calls he gets are terrible. If he got treated like LeBron he wouldn't be the league leader in points. It comes down to the body types. If LeBron gets legitimately fouled on the arm, he's still making the shot because he's so strong. With KD he's missing the shot, and getting FT's.

    Durant has taken 722 free throws on 1380 field goal attempts, or .523 free throws per field goal attempt.

    Carmelo has taken 479 free throws on 1387 field goal attempts, or .345 free throws per field goal attempt.

    Kobe has taken 581 free throws on 1529 field goal attempts, or .377 free thows per field goal attempt.

    Lebron has taken 513 free throw on 1316 field goal attempts, or .389 free throws per field goal attempt.



    Of course Durant is an amazing player, but to say that he is not aided by free throws is ludicrous.

    Durant goes to the line less than 1 more time than the likes of Kobe and Melo.

    Durant shoots 9.4 free throws per game.

    Kobe shoots 7.7 and Melo shoots 7.6
    Melo 22fga, Durant 17.9fga. You're 100% right, most people are just stupid here, they don't even know how to use stats correctly.
