Durant took 56 less shots than Melo this season and still scored more total points.

Yes, Anthony is a volume scorer and Durant is an efficient scorer.

12 less game yet still chucked up 56 more shots. :roll:

45% from the field and 38% from the 3pt line = "chucking".

[russwest0]

KD also shot this many less shots while playing the whole season while Melo missed around 15 games or so.

[lebeast666]

Real question is how many more phantom free throw calls did KD get? Cause I know Melo don't get the same treatment even though Melo plays more physical.

[lakerspng]

and Durant shot 750 free throws to Melo's 512. nearly a 250 ft difference... that can certainly account for the extra shots on Melo's part, since when you get FTs, they wipe away the shot attempt.

[dunksby]

Well KD is a better scorer, rebounder, passer, shooter and overall a much better player than Melo. But it's good to remind idiots of simple facts every now and then.

[chosen_wun]

The whole Durant takes less shots than other superstars thing has already been debunked by the fact that a whistle is being blown every time he attempts a shot.

[Element]

If Melo got FT's for every breath someone takes while he shoots the ball, he'd average 31 easily, and on higher TS% since he loses FGA but gains FTM.

- He gets hacked HARD at least once a game when he goes up in the paint, no call

- He gets hacked whenever he follows his own rebound and makes the shot

That's one and-1 and two FT's per game easily. So he'd really be sitting at a nice, legit and very efficient 30+ ppg season

[jcsrplumply]

Gotta give credits to the refs man.

You are crazy if you think Melo with equal FT's as Durant would somehow have a better TS% than Durant.

One thing you obviously cant compare between them is style. Melo has some dope looking jumper and nice powerful moves, while this KD guy falls down after every dunk, and looks like skeleton.

[DMV2]

In my opinion, the scoring title should go to the total points scored. I think it used to be like that before the merger, or even earlier.

Let's say Player A averaged 30 points per game in 70 games (2,100 total points).
Player B averaged 29.5 in 82 games (2,419 total points). Player B scored 319 more points, plus he played every single game.

Why punish the guy who actually played all 82 games?

[Ballin095]

Lol at the butthurt okc fans. Carmelo deserved the scoring title this year. Deal with it already.

if melo gets half the call durant gets, hed be efficient too

basically it goes like this: melo drives, fouled but no call, rebound, tip in, fouled again but no call, rebound, puts it in, fouled but no called

durant: one step in fouled, ref calls, or durant drives, fouled when teh defender is no where near him where flailing his arms in the air and yelling gets the benefit

explains why he attempts more shots in a nutshell

Not to take anything away from what Durant did but he did have Westbrook, Harden and Ibaka.

2 of his teammates could give them 25 on a bad night, he had a great team.

Melo>Durant

Head to head does not determine who is better. Durant is still a far superior player than Melo even when taking into account the bias Durant gets with refs and free throws. Melo does do better in head to head though.

[ShaqAttack3234]

Durant has played over 600 more minutes than Melo, so I'd expect him to score more.


melo also played 12 less games to rest his body

and his scoring spurt also is in the end of season when some teams sit out starters

Took games off to rest his body? More like because he could barely jump before he got his knee drained. By the way because of the injury that forced him out of the Cleveland game after just 14 minutes, limited him vs Golden State and forced him out of the Denver game before the second half, his average dropped from 28.6 ppg to 27.5 ppg in just 3 games. Without just those 3 games his average right now would be 29.5 ppg instead of 28.7. And he left several other games early, including the Indiana game when he didn't play in the 4th quarter.

As far as the scoring binge, the 40 point game vs Atlanta came in a game that was important for both teams, same with the 41 vs Atlanta, same with the 36 vs OKC, Wizards game wasn't important for the Wizards, but Washington had been playing well since John Wall returned, and Melo had 36 while sitting out the 4th in that game, lost the Chicago game with 36 points, another game that was still important to both teams, had 31 vs Cleveland in 30 minutes and 25 vs Indiana to clinch the 2 seed while sitting out the 4th quarter.

Overall, from the Miami game until they clinched the 2 seed, Melo averaged 37/10 in just 36 mpg. And in the 15 games since he got his knee drained, the Knicks have gone 14-1 and Melo averaged 33/9 in just 36 mpg.

**** Durant. Can't even look at the guy without a could being called on you. Unless your name is Lebron James.

[niko]

So let me get this straight. For a pointless award that no one gives a shit about in NY (it's a nice mark on the resume but it's eh..Melo doesn't even seem to care) the country is butthurt and wants to change the way the award is given out. Be my guest. Do it now, give Durant the title, who gives a ****.

But let's be honest, if Durant was given the level of respect by the refs Melo is he'd not only have a crapload less points, he'd probably be injured and home.
