Can't believe Durant has 176 more ft attempts than Lebron

[imnew09]

As of today, 3/17/13

Lebron has 443,
Durant with 619

:facepalm

Can't believe Durant has so many more freethrow attempts than Lebron when Lebron attacks the rims almost every possession. It's just sad. Mad props to Lebron :bowdown:

I didn't mention Kobe unless you guys still want to compare those 2 young fellas on their peak to a 34 yrs old Vino.

This is not surprising at all. I've been saying this for how long? People are just starting to catch on that I'm not "trolling" or "hating". It's 100% accurate. Durantom gets an absurd amount of baby calls.

[lebeast666]

What do you expect? You're comparing a twig to a tank :confusedshrug:

[EnoughSaid]

People think LeBron can't get hit hard. But I think another thing is that when Durant gets fouled it's very obvious and you can clearly see his reaction but when LeBron gets smashed or hit, he isn't as inclined to fall down or move back. Much stronger.

[CeltsGarlic]

Durant is a stick. Sticks break easier than a log.

[ripthekik]

because guys in the league know that if they take a breath on lebron, they'd get called. So they give him more space = less free throws.

other players get d'ed straight up, so they get the foul calls.

[Rubio2Gasol]

Harden got about 30 more than Durant :lol

That should be the norm, he attacks even more than Lebron, thing is, Lebron is pushed and hacked every damn time, but because he can take it refs swallow the whistle. Contact is contact, no matter how big and strong you are.

[dannywpt]

What an interesting thread with many good points. Your in depth analysis comparing LeBron's and Durant's playing styles is spot on! :applause:

[cotdt]

Durant has better reactions after drawing contact, and even if he doesn't draw contact.

[NumberSix]

At least with some players, they'll drive to the basket and the refs will give them the benefit of the doubt. It's unbelievable how many times i've seen Durant just dribbling around the top of the key and he gets free throws when he literally didn't get touched by a single player.

[SpecialQue]

Lebron doesn't need free throws to be effective. Not only that, but Lebron's flops are better than Durant's as well.

If that were true, wouldn't Lebron be the one with more attempts?

[SpecialQue]

Quality, not quantity. Plus, Durant doesn't need to flop to get free throws. He just needs to kinda be almost touched by the opposing team.

Yes, I'm hating. I don't like Durant.

I have noticed that if the opposing team so much as breaths on him, fouls are called.

[NumberSix]

Durantom foul. Free-ThrOKC

[Mr. Incredible]

Durant is so overrated.

[f0und]

and for some reason they award KD fts when he does the rip move, but award bron a on the floor foul.

[Bandito]

Durantom foul. Free-ThrOKC
:facepalm

[tazb]

Durant is so overrated.

This. His usual game is like 4-12 shooting along with 12 free-throws. :facepalm

[pauk]

Lebron doesnt intentionally try to draw shooting fouls as much as Durant though, Durant cant wait to go there... 90% FT...

[LBJFTW]

If Durant had LeBron's body, Jordan would start to worry.

[lebeast666]

If Durant had LeBron's body, Jordan would start to worry.

If LeBron had Durants shooting touch, Jordan would shit the bed.

[SpecialQue]

If LeBron had Durants shooting touch, Jordan would shit the bed.

If Jordan had Shaq's body, Lebron and Durant would be walking around with a pant-load of shit and piss.

[willds09]

Question iz what team has more free throws heat or thunder???? :no:

[lebeast666]

Stop it.

[hihellohi765]

The only time he gets free throws that way its when they're in the bonus. Same thing wou happen with Lebron or any other player.

[Rubio2Gasol]

If LeBron had Durants shooting touch, Jordan would shit the bed.

Whose fault is that?

You develop shooting through practice. It's not like Durant was born with the ability to make 22 footers.

Durant is so damn long - it's hard to not touch him when he's going to the rim. He sells it tho.

[arifgokcen]

Question iz what team has more free throws heat or thunder???? :no:
Thunder is #2 behind lakers in FTA attemps with 1802 attempts.

Heat is right in the middle with 1498 FTA.Heat has one of the lowest
FG in paint/FTA ratios in the league.

Lebron and wade doesnt get a call unless they are murdered.

Lebron is leading the league in points in paint yet he is only #7 with 6.9FTA attempts

[SpecialQue]

Stop it.

:(

[livinglegend]

Question iz what team has more free throws heat or thunder???? :no:
Okc 2nd in FTA per game.
Miami 12th in FTA per game.

YOu are such a fail

[CeltsGarlic]

Lol felton

[lebeast666]

Lanky arms for better anchorage and no one being able to block his shot :confusedshrug: Whose fault is it that Durant is a toothpick :oldlol:

[BrickingStar]

While the difference in free throws is insane, I' more upset how Durant still gets calls on the RIP move consistently.

[willds09]

Okc 2nd in FTA per game.
Miami 12th in FTA per game.

yea right, who got better players?? Heat or thunder?

You really crying about Durant's physical gifts? :lol :coleman:

Isiah Thomas is the only person who can legitimately complain in that department :no:

[LikeABosh]

Durant is a stick. Lebron is a tree trunk. Durant is like a leaf in the wind driving to the basket

[inclinerator]

Of course heat does.

Knicks with fat melo and fat felton

[hihellohi765]

It seems like no one understands this rule. IT IS STILL A FOUL. However, it is not a shooting foul (which is how they call it). The only time Durant is awarded free throws on the rip move is when they are in the bonus. He seems to use it more when they are already in the bonus (smart play).

[LikeABosh]

Durant is NBA-created superstar. KDwhistle puts DWhistle to shame with the calls he gets.

[theBIGjabroni]

lebron would probably have a nicer form if he practiced on it and stopped abusing steroids. his steroid arms are messing with his already sh.itty form

[willds09]

U know u in denial:lol

talking schit cuz we injured:rolleyes:

[DMV2]

This.

Some guys just know how to draw fouls. Kevin Martin was great at it in Houston and Sacramento. He's far from a superstar.

[KG215]

and for some reason they award KD fts when he does the rip move, but award bron a on the floor foul.
No, they don't. This seems to becoming a popular false belief on here. I don't like the rip through move as much as anyone else, but Durant never gets FT's from it unless OKC is in the bonus.

[qrich]

I can. Despite how much of a "Golden Boy" LeBron is, it's Durant and the Thunder who get babied by the officiating crews and league more than anyone else.

If Corey Maggette around 03-07 would get the calls Durant is getting, he'd be shooting 22 free throws a night due to the fact that he would actually attack the rim on 80% of possessions where he wasn't taking 9 steps or passing to the wrong team

[ralph_i_el]

Because people move out of Lebrons way or hit him and just bump off him. He's a train and there's only a couple guys who can and will stand in and stop him

[KG215]

Knicks will upset Heat in the 1st round just like last year.

[ShaqAttack3234]

Durant is a great scorer who you expect to get a good amount of free throws because he's so long and such a great shooter that his shot is almost impossible to contest. Plus, he has become good off the dribble and has handled the ball more, especially since Harden was traded, as well as the fact that he moves well without the ball, and often cuts to the basket.

But with that being said, I agree that the amount of FTA and some of the calls he gets are excessive. If he merely twists his body in awkward way while shooting a jumper or lay up, he usually gets a foul call, especially if he misses the shot and the defender is guarding him tight. He also still gets the call on that rip move quite a bit, which wasn't supposed to be the case, his frame benefits him with some questionable calls compared to a guy like Lebron and Durant clearly tries to draw fouls.

He's getting to the line at a rate similar to young Shaq/prime Shaq, a guy who played almost exclusively 10 feet and in, and was fouled intentionally.


This. His usual game is like 4-12 shooting along with 12 free-throws. :facepalm

Right, which is why he shoots over 50%. :rolleyes: Didn't know 4/12 was 50%, could have sworn it was 33%.

[arifgokcen]

Knicks will upset Heat in the 1st round just like last year.
So you are assuming knicks is gonna fall to 8th seed losing almost every game left on their calendar and get 4 wins against miami.
:biggums: :biggums: :biggums: :biggums:

lets see what happen April 2nd

Yup, I m ready. I did cry of joy last time they played together. I had so much fun seeing Miami cut Knicks into millions of pieces and then eat them for dinner in that 2nd half.

[Mr. Incredible]

Hah, he already is with LeBron. The throne is for the taking . Deal with it haters.

They didn't win by much plus amare was on tha bench, even Woodson admitted that big mistake:rolleyes:

The only post that actually answers OP's question gets ignored. :lol

[cotdt]

It's amazing how Durant gets to the free throw line more often than Dwight Howard, who teams intentionally foul all the time even when Howard doesn't have the ball.

Hasn't Dwight missed games this season

Usual? That's why he's shooting over 50% for the season right? You're an idiot.

Free-Throklahoma City getting these kids all worked up. :rockon:

[imnew09]

Watching Durant's game today against Denver, he just wants a call in every offensive possession. what a lil btch :facepalm

Manufactured "superstar".

If the league is in Durant's hands once LeBron retires I feel sorry for the future generation.:facepalm

[Eat Like A Bosh]

I do agree that Durant seems to get babied by the refs a lot more.
