Kevin Durant says Melo can have scoring title

[k0kakw0rld]

[NumberSix]

Don't worry KD. You're locked for free throw champ.

[ripthekik]

Just like Kobe gave him the title last year by not playing the last game, Durant passes it forward :applause: :applause:

True

[Tking714]

This is dumb. Scoring is Durant's niche in the all time list. He should be shooting for this and then next years for 5 in a row. Then 6. Then 7

[DuMa]

Durant is gay. go for the scoring title. Scoring is what you do, embrace it you fool.

He's obviously lying so he can be the "nice guy". Watch him come out gunning away tonight.

Yeah, because Kobe was a lock for the 38 or 39 points he needed the last game of the year to pass Durant.

Or, you know, he might come out gunning because it's a huge game for OKC.

I always hate how KD comes off as a fake humble guy and it bothers me more than a cocky guy.

Are you saying he wasn't capable?

inb4 Durant scores 60 and makes a :durantunimpressed: face in Melo's direction.

[Budadiiii]

How many times did Kobe drop 39 last year?

Let's be real... he didn't just hand over the scoring title.

[PickernRoller]

More than enough times.

No, I'm just tired of Kobe stans like ripthekik acting like Kobe just gave Durant the scoring title last season.

[PickernRoller]

No, I'm just tired of Kobe stans like ripthekik acting like Kobe just gave Durant the scoring title last season.

I am just messing...Rip probably trolling. At the percentage Kobe was shooting last year it wouldn't look good anyway if he got it. + him resting was the right choice before the playoffs. Had to carry the stupid @ss team through the Nuggets series. In the OKC series we all know Pau quit as did the rest of infidels.

but he did.

when you average 29 ppg, getting 38 isn't really that tough if he wants to get it.

:kobe:
Yeah, scoring 9 points over your average is no big deal. I'm so glad Kobe was gracious enough to sit out the last game and just willingly and graciously hand Durant the scoring title. It's pretty clear to everyone Durant didn't deserve or really earn it.

He can have the scoring title, it's OK. I'm getting out of the 1st round :banana: :banana:

[Rubio2Gasol]

He didn't say he was going to sit back and let Melo win. Stuff like this will make Durant look stupid when he does in fact fight for the scoring title.

[iDunk]

I'm sure its killing KD inside. Expect him to average 25+ FGA attempts for the rest of the season.

[Mr. I'm So Rad]

Yeah, scoring 9 points over your average is no big deal. .

Against the Kings it isn't :oldlol:

I don't like KD. Fake humble guy.

It came to the point that I even like LeBron more than him.

Durant is kinda a fake tough humble guy rolled into one. I don't even know what that makes him.

It's slight funny.

But I do think some of his comments are deliberately misinterpreted by persons on here.

Totally agree with that part. He has a small percentage of a Shane Battier/Grant Hill/Derek Fisher in him, but it's not authentic. He tries to have this high moral character type persona, but every now and then, you see the hood come out in him. A thug persona off the streets.

I see right through his shit.

He learned some thing in Seattle he still applies in his life. Good for him!

[RR#9]

[Segatti]

Durant is in internal conflict, scoring title or 50/40/90 club?

[inclinerator]

what a nice guy, giving lebron the mvp and a championship and now carmelo the scoring title

So what kind of person do you think he really is?

[KG215]

I'm sure these guys saying "they see right through Durant" and his act, persona, etc. have spent hours hanging out with him and know him on a personal level.

[SillyRabbit]

This. Durant should be gunning for the scoring lead with everything he's got.

[O_City_Thunder]

This. Durant should be gunning for the scoring lead with everything he's got.
Then people will say "All he cares about is scoring titles....He needs to focus on winning a championship....blah blah blah"

[SillyRabbit]

No reason he can't do both, this is a regular season scoring title anyway, has nothing to do with the post season.

Winning four back-to-back scoring titles is ridiculously impressive in this day and era. It would be a real shame if he just gave that accomplishment up without giving it his best.

[ShaqAttack3234]

This. Durant should be gunning for the scoring lead with everything he's got.

:oldlol: I think the right approach is the one I've seen a number of players take in close scoring races which is not particularly go for them. Play your game, and if you get it, great. But no reason for a guy on a championship contender to gun for one, especially when he has 3 already. I liked that Kobe didn't gun for it on the last season, and Shaq passed on going for extra scoring titles late in the season 3 times. That's the right thing to do, especially when your team is relevant. Changing your approach and stat-padding for something makes the accomplishment less impressive anyway.

But Melo is actually trying to statpad for it, even staying in games to get as high as possible or chucking even more when he is shooting poorly. :oldlol:

I wouldn't mind seeing Durant's powerful statpad skills vs Melo's, only the best padder will win.

This is simply not true. Despite scoring a lot, they weren't even forcing the ball to Melo in the 50 or 40 game, and he was mostly taking good shots within the offense and certainly not dominating the ball. He played just 27 minutes in the Boston game and in the 9 games since his return, he's averaged 31 ppg in 36 mpg. He's not staying in blowouts, and Jr, Felton and Kenyon Martin have all been able to get involved.

[BallsOut]

Yeah, scoring 9 points over your average is no big deal. I'm so glad Kobe was gracious enough to sit out the last game and just willingly and graciously hand Durant the scoring title. It's pretty clear to everyone Durant didn't deserve or really earn it.

Agreed. Kobe actually had to put the ball in the basket over defenders to get his points. Durant got his through ref's gifts. In fact, he got so many gifts from the refs, the NBA decided to change the rule the next season on going up purposely through the defenders hands to draw free throws.

Durant's free throws weren't off the charts or anything in 2012, but this is deceptive because Kobe took 23 FGA while Durant took 19.7 so Durant did get to the line at a much higher rate.

Because he took it to the rim more than Kobe which contradicts that Kobe's fan argument.

[ShaqAttack3234]

My point was simply that posting total FTA is deceptive without including FGA.

Give the scoring title to Melo. It's the only award he can win in the NBA. :roll:

[SilkkTheShocker]

KD should honestly let Melo win it. Let him feel whats it like to win something in the NBA.

[SilkkTheShocker]

Why does everyone hate Mr. Durant all of the sudden?

I don't hate him, but I think people got tired of hearing "humble" this guy was. He just comes off a whiny b.itch at times.

[SilkkTheShocker]

Give the scoring title to Melo. It's the only award he can win in the NBA. :roll:

The sad part is how Melo has yet to win the award even once in almost 10 season. Yet there are people (Knicks fans) that think he is the best scorer in the league

[Shepseskaf]

I see right through his shit.
I don't see it that way at all. I see a momma's boy who needs to put his mother in check. Imo, she is much too visible and seems to be a overly dominant force in his life.

So, KD's got alpha/beta issues, leading to passive/aggressive behavior. This can clearly be seen in his relationship with RW.

You right Melo should have teamed up with two top 3 players, followed by being carried by the refs because he couldn't cut it even with all the help, due to his epic finals meltdowns.
