*edit*
The second streak of 40+ consecutive games for MJ is stretched over 2 seasons, the 87~88 and 88~89...

I listed the numbers above.

Unfortunately, I can't get averages from basketball reference stretched over 2 seasons, so I will go ahead and do the math for comparison's sake... you phucks are lucky Im Korean..

MJ's second streak of 40-25+ games..

Took about 30 fcking minutes to get the averages, the crap I do for a good ball discussion... I only did the most basic ones.

[JohnFreeman]

I would still take Jordan. Crazy that MJ was averaging that many points with barely any threes attempted

[Budadiiii]

Kevin Durant clearly better player than MJ at this age.

[Hamtaro CP3KDKG]

I would still take Jordan.
Of course YOU would u cant be unbiased at all when it comes to KD:lol :lol :lol

KDs streak is better

[Budadiiii]

I would still take Jordan. Crazy that MJ was averaging that many points with barely any threes attempted
On much worse efficiency than Durant too. :oldlol:

KD is ****ing insane. Mind boggling what he is doing. He's making the GOAT look average in comparison. Better all around and more efficient by a mile.

Incredible

[chazzy]

I would still take Jordan. Crazy that MJ was averaging that many points with barely any threes attempted
6 more shots though

[Akrazotile]

The numbers say the Servant is better.

If you took the names off the statelines, EVERYBODY would take the Servant. But bc its MJ many will be scared to.

[russwest0]

Durants numbers are clearly better. More efficient, better rebounder, and better playmaker.

Damn. I never thought this streak would be touched in the modern era. This is unreal. If Durant doesn't get all of the votes for the MVP award this year, then there are for real some dipshits voting on the award.

[Fudge]

Legendary. Already cementing himself as an all-time great.

[Jameerthefear]

Show me playoff stats now.

Great stat my KD but come on now....a couple of those games they were up by a lot but still kept KD in just to get his streak going :rockon:

[russwest0]

Great stat my KD but come on now....a couple of those games they were up by a lot but still kept KD in just to get his streak going :rockon:

lol not true at all. he's gotten 25 through 3 quarters multiple games.

He would have kept his 30pt streak going had he not sat the whole 4th vs the Nets.

[Angel Face]

Didn't Jordan have 2 seasons of 40 consecutive games scoring 25+ points?

Both are amazing scorers. KD might go down as the 2nd greatest scorer behind MJ. Also, it was amazing that MJ started his streak on his 122nd career game.

[sejoon101]

Great stat my KD but come on now....a couple of those games they were up by a lot but still kept KD in just to get his streak going :rockon:

Yes, but also a couple of games, KD sat out the 4th because his team was winning in a blow out.

Honestly, looking closely at the numbers... They are unreal. They actually compare to the GOAT's numbers... Hell, has a case for having a better stretch. Mind = shattered

[JohnFreeman]

KAJ?

[russwest0]

KAJ?

What about him?

[Budadiiii]

Durant is averaging 7 3pa compared to Jordan's 0.9.

And he's still more efficient by a mile.

:biggums:

That impact, doe. Approaching prime Shaq dominance and we're not even fooling around. That skinny nerd from Maryland is actually gonna surpass the greatest athlete ever. :wtf:

A lot of people thought it would be Kobe, LeBron, maybe Wade..... but it's that skinny ****ing dweeb, Kevin Durant. :oldlol:

Life is a trip

KAJ is a great scorer but he isn't a better scorer than MJ. Yes he does have the most points recorded in NBA history but it's because he has longevity advantage.

Well I am not saying he is miles better, but my god he was unstoppable.

Jordan was doing a ton more on defense.


Still two of the GOAT scorers though.
This.

How many All-Defensive team selections does Durant have?

People gonna question his GOAT status on that one.

It's not like he wasn't shooting 30 FGs and 12 FTs a game.

6 rings doe

[Im Still Ballin]

Context people.

Jordan's FT's are more legimitimate for two reasons:

1. League Rules/Style - more physical, less ticky tacky calls

2. MJ is easily the better slasher.

Kevin's FT on the other hand....

INB4 rip throw move... kev be like "foul ref!!!"

KD wouldn't be able to score on 80s defenses. Imagine KD going up against the Bad Boy Pistons without the protection he gets from the refs now, he wouldn't even average 20 IMO.

[KG215]

Not really. Durant will lose in the playoffs again this year.
What wer LeBron and Jordan doing in the playoffs at 25 years old?

Seriously, when did you become such an annoying, bitter, shit poster? Most of the time I see you post now it's just to irrationally hate on Durant.

[UK2K]

Durant averaged 7 3pt attempts to MJ's 1.

And MJ still averaged more points.

Yes, he did..

Let me get those stats..

[Milbuck]

Can we please acknowledge that this is streak vs streak, not KD vs Jordan?

Let's not ignore the fact that in 1988-89, Jordan had a 40 game stretch of 31/8/10 on 53/31/85 shooting. He had ****ing 7 STRAIGHT triple doubles, and 10 in 11 games.

In the entire season, he put up 33/8/8/3/1 on 54/28/85 shooting (61 TS%), with 31.1 PER, 123 ORTG 103 DRTG. Not to mention his absolutely ferocious, GOATworthy perimeter defense.

Durant is an absolute monster right now, without a doubt an all-time great. But we need to stop equating 2 scoring streaks to 2 careers. Durant is nowhere near Jordan yet. YET.

[DonDadda59]

1) ESPN is playing you chumps like a fiddle as always with their arbitrary stats. Looks like they hopped off the 'X games LeBron has gone scoring 23 pts while shooting over 54%' and are now firmly on the Servant's bandwagon.

2) Jordan doesn't even hold the record, Wilt does... by a ton of games.

3) Good to see people have latched on to a new 'gonna surpass Jordan' player. Good luck with that shit. Should be fun while it lasts :lol

If Durant didn't get his dick sucked by the refs he'd have a lot less haters.

[Micku]

Kevin Durant clearly better player than MJ at this age.

Well, MJ was 23/24 at that point. MJ was more efficient in 88. Durant's 25.

Durant's sick. Amazing efficiency tho. 22 FGA and 35 points. Woow.

[dunksby]

It's not a KD vs Jordan comparison, but man those arbitrary KD numbers take Jordan's arbitrary numbers to test! And that's no small sample size of arbitrary stats. :cheers:

[JebronLames]

KD's streak is more impressive. Shooting higher percentage while taking so many threes. Against tougher defense.

[SCdac]

Gervin had some amazing scoring seasons too. He came fairly close to putting up a long 25+ point scoring streak in late november to mid february of the 79-80 season. If not for a couple of 24 point games, woulda been a 37 game streak at 35.9 pg.

http://www.basketball-reference.com/players/g/gervige01/gamelog/1980/

[The-Legend-24]

KD putting up better numbers in a tougher era. :applause:

[Trollsmasher]

52% TS in clutch tho:lol

Career sub 40% from the field in the clutch tho:lol

KD's number are nice, but they don't translate well into pressure situations. Nothing saves you from being a choker. Lacking skillset and beta mentality describe KD well.

We should compare him to Wilt more

[m y t i n]

I know that this thread is focusing on offensive numbers but did anyone else notice Jordan's defensive stats???

2.8 spg and 1.6 bpg for a shooting guard?

:bowdown:

[Doranku]

Jordan's 2nd streak blows KD's out of the water. 37/6/5/3 on 56% from the field :biggums:

[Marchesk]

KD might go down as the 2nd greatest scorer behind MJ.

Forget about someone?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_career_achievements_by_Wilt_Chamberlain#NB A_scoring_records

Oscar had a 47 game streak of 25+ from 1963-1964.

[JebronLames]

Jordan's 2nd streak blows KD's out of the water. 37/6/5/3 on 56% from the field :biggums:
Durant's two-point percentage during this streak is 58%.

[Marchesk]

Some perspective here on greatest scorers their first 7 seasons (since Durant is finishing his seventh). I'm not including guys like Kobe or Dantley, who didn't reach their scoring peaks until a few years in.

Wilt: 39.5 on 51.1%

MJ: 31.5 on 51.3% (52.7 2PA)

Elgin: 30.6 on 42.4%

Oscar: 30.5 on 48.6%

KAJ: 30 ppg on 54%

West: 27.9 on 46.3%

Lebron: 27.8 on 47.4% (51.3 2PA)

Durant: 27.3 on 48% (50.9 2PA)

Dr J: 26.6 on 50.3%

[Hamtaro CP3KDKG]

Kareem's first 7 seasons: 30 ppg on 54%
He played in the worst era of alltime and 43 minutes a game. Hes not a better scorer than MJ or KD

[The-Legend-24]

Oscar had a 47 game streak of 25+ from 1963-1964.
Nobody curr about 60's basketball, brah.

[sejoon101]

Jordan's 2nd streak blows KD's out of the water. 37/6/5/3 on 56% from the field :biggums:

I was shocked as I was working the numbers.. his improvement of efficiency is just:biggums:
The 3 steals is ridiculous too.

[NumberSix]

Jordan would be shooting 30+ free throws per game with the Durant treatment.

[Marchesk]

He played in the worst era of alltime and 43 minutes a game. Hes not a better scorer than MJ or KD

Not better than MJ. Only Wilt has an argument there. But over their first seven seasons, KAJ is better than Durant.

[Marchesk]

Nobody curr about 60's basketball, brah.

6 Top 20 players all-time and two in the top 5, 2 GOAT defenders, and the GOAT dynasty.

Modern basketball was born in the 60s.

[All Net]

Not better than MJ. Only Wilt has an argument there. But over their first seven seasons, KAJ is better than Durant.
Why does Wilt have an argument but Kareem doesn't?

[wally_world]

MJ took 1 more FTA/game but KD is the one that gets all the refs calls? :oldlol:

[deja vu]

MJ took 1 more FTA/game but KD is the one that gets all the refs calls? :oldlol:
MJ went to the basket more, so he gets more FT.

[SHAQisGOAT]

He played in the worst era of alltime and 43 minutes a game. Hes not a better scorer than MJ or KD

Stfu, you don't even know what you're talking about, ignorant child. I even remember you saying Kareem was never a top defender or rebounder in the league :oldlol:
At one point or another, Kareem murked the likes of Wilt, Thurmond, Lanier, Walton, Cowens, Moses, Parish, Hakeem or Ewing... Doesn't get better than that really, now go call that a weak era or whatever other dumb definition you want to :lol :facepalm
From 1969 til 1982, that's 13 seasons for ya, he scored 28 ppg on .558/.715, always around the top in terms of points and FG%.
He has 4 seasons scoring over 26 PPG on over .600 TS%.
He got 3 Playoff runs - with 10 or more games played - scoring over 32 PPG on over 55% from the field.
He arrived in the league, already as a scoring beast, and winning ring or MVPs, facing tremendous competition.
At his peak, he was dropping 30 PPG on 61% FG, against Bill Walton, in the Playoffs.
At 33 he was still scoring 32 PPG on 57% from the field, in the post-season, leading the Lakers to the championship.
At 38, in the Finals, he was scoring 26 PPG on .629, in less than 36 MPG, against Robert Parish.
Close to his 40's, he was still dropping 40 on the likes of Hakeem (and Sampson).
Most points scored in NBA history.
....
Dude had the best (scoring) move in NBA history, at his best he was very athletic, of course 7'2, with a vast array of post moves and counters, nice turnaround fadeaway from the post too, very smart, could hit his open mid-range jumpers...
Not calling him the GOAT scorer but he is indeed one of the GOAT scorers and you're just acting dumb, underrating the hell out of him. I swear, Kareem is so ****ing underrated in numerous areas, even scoring :facepalm

What about me saying KD plays in the softest era ever, goes to the line at the slightest touch, gets babied by the refs, nobody can't even go next to him or guard him "properly", and all that as more of a finesse player (like Kareem) goes to the line way more than he should've (at considerably higher rate than Jabbar also)??????? :lol

[SHAQisGOAT]

Gervin had some amazing scoring seasons too. He came fairly close to putting up a long 25+ point scoring streak in late november to mid february of the 79-80 season. If not for a couple of 24 point games, woulda been a 37 game streak at 35.9 pg.

http://www.basketball-reference.com/players/g/gervige01/gamelog/1980/

Gervin is very underrated. Great scorer and very efficient, plus maintained/elevated his level in the playoffs while leading his team.

[Marchesk]

Why does Wilt have an argument but Kareem doesn't?

Alright, Kareem has an argument.

[Jlamb47]

KD > MJ in terms of scoring
hes freakin 6'9 with crossover and a smooth jumpshot
hes longer, and can shoot better.

When KD averages 33.2 on 51.9% over seven consecutive seasons, we can have that conversation.

Dude you sound so insecure. and hes not a shot jacker if he shoots over 50 percent dumbass not many players can even say they do that. and Average passer???? he could average 10 assis if he wanted too but hes a scorer whos putting up 32 points a game and damn near 6 assist

lol he flopped 6-10 times since he joi9ned the Heat. hes so bad at it that he doesnt do it regulary and every single one of them is put into gifs.

I dont see how he flops. Plus its call using strategy in basketball and the purpose is to SCORE to win. Getting to the free throw lines = free 2 points if he hits. Why not get to the line to SCORE cuz thats what you do.
if it bothers you so much quit watching KD play Lebron flopped alot more then 6-10 times, ive seen atleast 20 different ones
hes dramatic and thats what i hate abotu his stupid flopping hes freakin 260lbs :facepalm

[Trollsmasher]

Durant and Harden are the greatest floppers in the game.

They don't snap their head back like Bron, which is the most visible flop (well, Harden does), but they flail their arms and legs all around the court after every single contact.

Disgusting brand of basketball. Luckily it's a gimmick offense which gets regularly exposed in the playoffs.

[riseagainst]

Durant easily takes this one. Much better scoring efficiency from everywhere. MJ took 6 more shots to score only 2 more points. AND he averaged more free throw attempts.

[Flash31]

im saying if he didnt sit there and score 32 points u dont think he coudltn average 10 assist? hes 4 assist away. He could put up 20, 10 easily.

Downplaying No
Im just not slobbering on his knob like some people including you are

Saying things like Durant doesnt flop,he can avg 10 ast,Hes GOAT scorer,get the fck outta here with that


Yeah sure Durant could avg 10 ast but then he wouldnt get even 25 pts unless he gets 15+ fta every game and hed have a good 5+ turnovers a game with it


Thats like saying Josh Smith could shoot 50%
but thats even more probable than Durant avg 10 ast if Smith stopped takong 3s and unnecessary long twos

KD could get the same fta as Chris Bosh but that wont happen


Only 4 more Assists like thats not a big number at all
could put up 20,10 Easily? WTF are you on Chris Paul could put up 20,10 ast easily but Durant NO

Stanning a player while pretending youre not and youre a "fan" of a different team or player---Suuure

MJ was much tougher to guard though. He was more versatile offensively and far more athletic.

[OldSchoolBBall]

Kevin Durant clearly better player than MJ at this age.

KD is 25. Jordan was 24-25 in 1988. You know, 35/6/6/3.2 stl/1.6 blk/54% FG/DPOY/MVP.

So no, not really.

Unfortunately, I can't get averages from basketball reference stretched over 2 seasons, so I will go ahead and do the math for comparison's sake... you phucks are lucky Im Korean..

MJ's second streak of 40-25+ games..

Took about 30 fcking minutes to get the averages, the crap I do for a good ball discussion... I only did the most basic ones.

Appreciate the effort :cheers:

You'd think ESPN would have these numbers readily available for comparison.

Durant hasnt gotten that many seasons. Put Durant in the league back then im sure he could do it. its harder to stop a 6'9 playing like a gaurd then a 6'6 gaurd. Its just common basketball knowledge. I rather gaurd MJ then KD
This may one of the dumbest posts I've read on ish...

MJ was much tougher to guard though. He was more versatile offensively and far more athletic.
He was more versatile b/c he was better at controlling the ball/turnovers
KD is much longer and taller. MJs athleticism is outweight by KDs FAR superior shooting

And this is why brooks is a fail coach...
When the game was already over in the 4th and spurs were playing their bench.. He leaves kD and WB in till the final minute to stat pad..
What if one got injured in this time??? Fail coach seriously

KD averages 3.5 TO compared to MJ's 3.1 TO at the same age.

FAR superior? Child please.

So what was Jordan's team record that year

Was he chucking on a bad team or was he on the team with one of the best records in the league like Durant

[blablabla]

im saying if he didnt sit there and score 32 points u dont think he coudltn average 10 assist? hes 4 assist away. He could put up 20, 10 easily.
your down playing KD's streak
there's is only one player in the L right now who puts up over 10 assists, it's chris paul already one of the greatest point guards to have ever played the game
this has to be the dumbest comment ever

Far superior shooting? MJ is a shade below 50% FG shooter for his whole career and he's a guard.

Even from mid range MJ was a better shooter than KD.

Stop being a prisoner of the moment.

37.3ppg without shooting 3's is just nuts. Durant's numbers prove it, durant's measly 3 3p on .408 = 9 of his 35.

Also durant averages one less trip to the line while shooting less overall and jumpshooting more.
