Best Scorer in the League.

[8BeastlyXOIAD]

1a. Kevin Durant
1b. Lebron James
3. Dirk (cant spell his last name)
4. Kobe Bryant
5. Derrick Rose
6. Monta Ellis
7. Amare Stoudamire
8a. Michael Beasley
8b. Eric Gordon
10. Kevin Martin


I didnt put Carmelo Anthony on my list because this guy is acting like a little ***** this season. I feel sorry for the Nuggets fans ................. Dude is a cancer.

Durant is not only the best scorer but he is the most consistent scorer in the league.

Durant is not only the best scorer but he is the most consistent scorer in the league.

no that title belongs to Dirk this season


Kevin Durant had a bad November

[Walduś]

negged:oldlol: :oldlol:
it's the correct answer.

[fubu05]

I personally think it's Melo. He can drive, post, got that deadly jab step, silky smooth jumper, hes the most lethal scorer. He can score in more ways than any player out there, and it's why hes such a great closer and has such a good percentage in game winning shots. If his diet did not consistent of working out and McDonalds, he would be even better of a scorer.

Agreed Melo can score in more ways but Durant and a few others can dominate in 1 or 2 ways more so than Melo can. I'm not sure if that makes sense 100% but it is the best I can explain it. I mean Paul Pierce is the same way to a lesser degree than Melo; he can score in a lot of ways as well but he doesn't do the 1 or 2 things well enough to be one of the top scorers in the league.

:roll: Given your logic of Kevin Durant actually does shit aside from score...

Melo still does that better because he does so in a varity of different ways. All Durant can do is shoot threes and free throws.

well around the rim he's great
<10..average-above average
10-15 average
and 16-23 is awful (which is where he attempts his most)

And yeah 1-1 wooo.

[Kiddlovesnets]

Well have to admit that Durant is better than LBJ as a scorer.

O so i guess Iggy is the better than Melo than:facepalm

No Iggy can't carry a team.

I had to go back and scan both pages of the thread so far just to double check... there's. no. d. wade. mentioned. anywhere. ANYWHERE!!!

DWade is arguably a better scorer than Lebron and he's not even mentioned in this thread!

[YouCallILose]

Durant is shooting 53% on 2 point FG's this season

Carmelo Anthony is shooting 46% on 2 point FG's this season

Durant is also a better 3 point shooter and FT shooter

LOL @ Melo

I rank it...
Melo
Wade
Pierce
Durant

So he gets to be number two!

[chips93]

i have all of these convoluted definitions of a scorer

pure scorer is different from best scorer, ppl trying to say lebron wasnt the best scorer last couple years just because he is athletic, etc.

i dont know how anybody can say melo is the best scorer, he may be able to score in a variety of ways, but its all points

durant is best at putting the ball in the basket, so he is the best scorer, simple as that :hammerhead:


(this post is prob really jumbled but i dont feel like editing it)

Admittedly, I forgot to rank him.:lol

[MMM]

Wade is probably the most creative scorer
Melo can score in a variety of ways
Piece is the same way but to a lesser degree

Durant and LeBron put the little orange ball through the orange cylinder better then anyone else though even if they are not as versatile or as creative as others.

[YouCallILose]

I don't see why so many people get caught up in the flash. The 2 best scorers in the league, which is putting the ball in the basket as often as possible most efficiently, are

1. durant
2. lebron

and there is noone close to those 2

[8BeastlyXOIAD]

Admittedly, I forgot to rank him.:lol

so now Lebron is underrated wtf

u slipping Rose

[DeronMillsap]

Not a top 5 but he should be a top 10 right now, Mr. LaMarcus Aldridge.

this


ppl making a simple question complicated

[creepingdeath]

This season?

Dirk
Durant
Lebron
Wade

Melo and Kobe are both having a subpar season (in relation to what they are usually capable of) but still in the top 6, of course- they will step it up a notch towards April.

[8BeastlyXOIAD]

Wade is probably the most creative scorer
Melo can score in a variety of ways
Piece is the same way but to a lesser degree

Durant and LeBron put the little orange ball through the orange cylinder better then anyone else though even if they are not as versatile or as creative as others.

same goes for Beasley

he can score from any where.

Inside
Outside
Midrange

he just doesnt get the calls

[Rose]

so now Lebron is underrated wtf

u slipping Rose
IM SORRY! I actually realized I forgot to rank him and was coming back to edit the post but you came here and caught me before I could.

[alenleomessi]

Kevin Martin should be higher, dude can score whenever he wants and if he doesnt, he will get fouled

Eric Gordon? I don't watch a lot of Clippers games but is he deserving of #9 on your top 10?

[TheCorporation]

LeBron James
Kevin Durant
Dirk
Wade

[fubu05]

original question was simply "Best Scorer in the League"

In terms of "VOLUME" of scoring, its KD and Dirk and Amar'e and guys like that.

In terms of "ABILITY" to score, its gotta be Melo and Kobe and Pierce. Theres a reason the same group of guys usually leads the league in game winners year in and year out. They're able to get what they want on a possession when it counts most because of their diverse arsenal of weapons where as someone like Durant has not fully developed and is still working on things such as his post game.

Durant and Lebron are the most consistent scorers and probably have the best stats but Wade, Melo, and Dirk are better all around scorers and often if those guys have big scoring nights it seems to impact the game more than if Lebron or Durant had big scoring nights.

[knightfall88]

Kobe is averaging 25+ppg in 33minutes. Wow.

[ReturnofJPR]

After tonight, Derrick Rose should rise on some people's lists of the best scorer in the NBA. He dominated...every facet of the game...a true MVP.

second option...
vs the
first option...
weird, that the second option is more efficient. And how you changed your stats because you know Rose is shooting better on 3s this year. And your boy is only hittin 34% of them.

[NY-Knicks]

you can add Beasley to that list

he has 2 game winners this season

You are trying too hard.

[Nash-tastic]

If you are basing in how many ways can a player score then,

1) Carmelo Anthony
2) Kobe Bryant
3) Dirk Nowitzki
4) Paul Pierce
5) Dwyane Wade
6) Kevin Durant
7) LeBron James
8) Monta Ellis
9) Kevin Martin

And there is no way Carmelo Anthony can not be in your top 10 in scoring. That's just impossible.

[YouCallILose]

You're stupid

What's Durant's rank in assists among SF's?

How about Rose's rank among PG's in assists?

Who's the top scorer in the league? Who is about to win at least 5 straight scoring titles? Who is about to become the youngest MVP in league history?

#1 in scoring among PGs, top 10 in assists #3 in rebound as PG

youngest MVP in league history? Rose

Get back to me when Durant stops suiting up as robin come playoffs time while westbrook leads his team :oldlol:

You really think Beasley is on the same par in scoring with Melo,Kobe,Pierce? You're delusional

:confusedshrug:



You have Michael Beasley as the 8th best scorer in the NBA right now. You say he deserves to be in the conversation with Melo, Kobe and Paul Pierce as far as having the ability to score. You aren't even including Carmelo Anthony in your top 10. Not only are you leaving one of the most well-rounded scorers in the League completely off of your list, you also put Michael friggin' Beasley over him. You can say a lot about Melo and his personality, and how amazing Mike Beasley is. But you can't be serious saying that Beasley is the better scorer.

i've been on this site for 2 weeks , and i've come to the conclusion that someone needs to use a bimanual technique with either an extrusion needle or a microvitreoreti so that your hands can be surgically detached from Durant's nuts

But what he said was Beasley is not on the level of Melo/Kobe/Pierce which is true because they have MUCH more weapons in their arsenal compared to Beasley. Look, I'm not saying Beasley isn't good and what not. I'm just saying he isn't on their level YET.

[Rose]

Beasley has like 4-6 double-double this season
Yeah I forgot to take that into perspective. That's pretty legit.

[Simple Jack]

I'm not sure why people keep mentioning "more ways to score" or "ability" rather than referring to what the player has actually done. Who cares if you can score from 20 different spots? I mean, I guess I would care, but it's not more important than ACTUALLY DOING IT. Consistency and efficiency trumps ability in this case. I'll take a center who can score 30 a night on 60% over some guy who can hit shots from everywhere but at 40%.

Considering all of this, I agree with Durant at 1. LeBron is up there as well.

[8BeastlyXOIAD]

At K-State he was a monster on the boards, in the NBA not so much unfortunately. Thought he was gonna be a solid rebounder.

He still is!!

He moved to the small forward spot what do you expect 12 a game? Yeah right!!

BTW I believe the Wolves are the best rebounding team in the league

[NY-Knicks]

:cheers: :cheers:

Wow. So because of the off the court issues he's become less of a scorer? He's still averaging nearly 24 per game. Sure he hasn't been playing the way we are used to and his efficiency is way down. But we all know what this guy is capable of. Playing for another team will do him good. But even though he's having a down season there is no way you can leave him out of the top 10. He has the outside jumper, great with the jab step and the midrange jumper. He gets to the bucket, one of the best post players in the NBA and simply bullies people down low. He's an offensive monster.

[8BeastlyXOIAD]

I didnt say anywhere Melo isnt a good scorer anymore, i just didnt have him on my list because he is acting like a cancer.

If i'd put him on my list he probably be 3-5

He still is!!

Did I say that? He was dominant in college, we can argue all you want but even if he'd play the 4 or the 5 he wouldn't be a great rebounder. You can be a PG and grab a good amount of boards. It isn't rocket science.

Carmelo, Kobe and Pierce are dominant scorers. And even though Beasley is developing nicely, he is nowhere near the level of the guys named above. You can pull all the stats you want out of your ass but there is a fine line between a scorer like Beasley and some of the most dominant scorers in the NBA. He might get there eventually, I don't know. I guess we'll see but in my opinion he has a long way to go.

[8BeastlyXOIAD]

Right because stats are everything

Boy didnt i tell you to watch the Link!!!

Yeah I did, it did nothing to convince me Beasley has equal scoring ability to Melo/Kobe/Pierce

I'm sorry but to me it's obvious. I've watched a lot of Michael Beasley in college and in the NBA, seen enough tape of him. And as I have said before he has made huge strides. He wasn't the player many people thought he was when he entered the League but is getting there. He is nowhere near realising his potential yet.

Now why can't we compare Beasley's scoring ability with Bryant's or Melo's. It's called dominating. As we have seen in their careers (I'm sure you have too) is that players like the ones named above can take over games on the offensive end of the floor. Sure Beasley has had some offensive outbursts but that hasn't resulted in many wins. Bryant and Melo have a ton of games where they took over the scoring load during stretches and carried their teams. They can create their shots from anywhere on the floor. Of course Kobe isn't same ol' Kobe anymore, but he can still get that shot, even without the athleticism. Carmelo has come very close to averaging 30 ppg in his career, he has had some setbacks in those season. For example with the brawl at the Garden and the arrival of AI.

Now I'm not saying Beasley won't be able to do any of those things (although he won't ever do what Kobe did scoring wise from 2005-2008 IMO) he just isn't there yet. He still has a long way to go.

[catch24]

I don't even know if LeBron is a better scorer than Durant, forget Kobe (when he's healthy for that matter). Yes he's more efficient, but in terms of shot making/ability to create his own shot, I think Kobe is the best in the L in that department. Wade is a better scorer than LeBron also.

For some reason those three guys haven't been themselves these seasons and haven't taken over games like we are used to see, they often turn it around in the Playoffs tho. Even with them not playing well they are still ahead of Beasley, no doubt. But he's just 22 f-ckin' years old. :lol That kid might go places (if he gets out of Minny).

Yeah but not the "game-changing" "let's take over a ballgame" Pierce of old. You see what I'm saying? He's still been very, very good. But doesn't have 'it' anymore.

Of course Kobe has dealt with his age, injuries, etc. Melo just hasn't been himself, he's improved a lot in rebounding tho.

Well not that, his 40% from three is nice as well, but 75% from the line, just lowers him a bit for me.

I'm not saying he's not efficient he just wouldn't make my top 5 if he shot 80+ from the line, definitely top 5

I love how you follow me around and act like you know me. It's sooo cute <3

[Rose]

Well I also factor in variety of ways they can score...with that said...

Melo
Wade
LeBron
Durant
Dirk

After that Ellis is definitely in the next tier of Kobe, Ellis, Pierce, CP3

I wasn't trying to hurt your feelings lol but you make some of the dumbest threads/posts. Rose is MVP and an elite scorer but monta is inefficient yet he beats him across the board in all efficiency(and they are both their team's main options). LOL

Dude can score from anywhere with amazing efficiency. He's got a chance at the 50-40-90 club this year. THAT's efficiency. I should probably have Nash in there too I guess. Not sure who to take out.

That's fair. I can respect this list. While a lot of people judge scorers by their scoring skillset/arsenal, you ask a coach, and ten out of ten times they pick the more efficient one.

Well 9 times out of 10 I agree. But Melo can shoot it from anywhere, post you up, hit terrific layups. Get to the line. to me he's the total package, when it comes to that.

he's not pretty good-great at those, though. He's still baby Melo. Give him a couple years and it's definitely a debate. He's average-good at all those. Plus he loses points for consistency.

Yeah. I think gauging a players ability to score is somewhere in the middle. I don't want my guy shooting under league %, but I also don't him to be limited, chucking jumpshots because of his inability to create his own shots consistently.

ATM here's my list:

LeBron
Wade
Kobe
Dirk
Durant

IMO, the perfect balance.

I can roll with that. It's got perfect balance and they can all do it in a variety of ways
Like here's how I overall do it I guess
Efficiency (percentages)
Variety of ways to score
Clutch
and lack of turnovers.(i feel like this shouldn't factor into his efficiency and be it's own area)
Basically there's pretty much a strong consensus at the top 7 or so.

[catch24]

Basically there's pretty much a strong consensus at the top 7 or so.

Yup. Some days I think Durant is better than Melo because of his stellar FT shooting, and other days I think it's Melo because of his full arsenal on the perimeter (especially with his work in the post).

[Rose]

Yep I can see that, like if Durant shot better from 10-23 feet...He'd rise on my list.

[imlmf]

correct answer is durant, as much as i dislike him, he's the best pure scorer the league has

lebron's my favorite player and can get 40 any given night if he sets his mind to it, same with melo, but they are not the type of scorer durant is

durant in like kobe, the type of player that can explode for 50+ even 60+, and kobe isn't what he used to be anymore, so durant is the only correct answer

[Bigsmoke]

naw Kobe > Dirk scoring wise.

[Nash-tastic]

Dude can score from anywhere with amazing efficiency. He's got a chance at the 50-40-90 club this year. THAT's efficiency. I should probably have Nash in there too I guess. Not sure who to take out.
Well Nash's scoring is nothing special, its his passing that makes him a great offensive player, his shooting is one of the best but certain defenses shut him down quite easily but then again he can just pass out of it :D

[macpierce]

I would of said kobe several years ago but today I would probably go with durant or maybe melo
you can never underestimate the driving power of lebron/wade though = freethrows

Melo

Wade

Those are the top 6 in no particular order. If I had to order them...

1. Kobe (in any given game, if he decided to, he could outscore anyone on the floor, this year he's very consciously pacing himself)

2. Durant (current top scorer in the league, consistently)

3. Melo (tremendous offensive arsenal, if he gets his trade I think his numbers will spike big time)

4. Lebron (could be the best but I don't think it's his natural tendency/mindset)

5. Wade (still a few holes in his offensive game, but his aggressive, attacking style is pure entertainment)

6. Dirk (just hard to stop when he gets going. can get his shot from anywhere on the floor, almost at will)

Not trying to speak for him, but it's obvious team defenses get better during the postseason. A player who's scoring is NOT versatile is more likely to struggle against a great defensive team than a prolific scorer who's got all the offensive skills in his repertoire.
