KD streak is garbage....

[9erempiree]

KD's streak is garbage and it is a manufactured streak. Is MJ's 40 a record? No, it is not.

Why the 25 point marker? I should bring up a streak of anyone who scored over 10 points or more per game. That is what this streak is equivalent to.

It's like 25 points is the minimum considering that it is the next increment up since most scoring averages are a couple points off a scoring leaders average.

If you are going to do a stat like this, the 30 points should be the bench mark since there are very few to average 30 in a season. Why the 25? Why not 20 or 15?

This is some made up streak because since MJ did it, we must have everyone compared to it. The original meaningless stat created by Michael Jordan.:facepalm

[KrizMiz]

thats ehat americans do, they rely on stupid stats !

thinks like 26,4 + 6,6 + 3,9 on 8 games

thats so random stats ...

Would it be garbage if Kobe did it? :confusedshrug:

No. He'd be top 2 if he did.

Kobe stans on meltdown mode because Durant stans don't even consider him worthy and are gunnin for Jordan.

Jordan averaged near 12 FTA per game during his streak

Durant..10

Would it be garbage if Kobe did it? :confusedshrug:

Yes. It is not worthy of keeping track.

If it was a streak of 30 points per game, then I would understand because 30 is usually the benchmark for scoring leaders. If 30 ppg is looked upon as great for a season's average then why not make it 30 point streak. They made it 25:facepalm

[mr.big35]

ESPN comes up with some weird stats like lebron is the first player since the 60s to score 30 or more when it is 80 degrees outside

If Kobe did this he would be celebrating and saying Kobe is the GOAT

Stat sheet, eye test, winning %.

Damn, KD is probably the best athlete in the world ATM. Literally, not even jokes. This is actually happening people.

[9erempiree]

So what.

I'm not even arguing for MJ or Durant.

I am arguing how stupid this streak is and it all started because someone was bored and found a streak of 25 by MJ and decides to make something of it.

Also, the league needs something to talk about so they are making a story of this and the sheeps take it and run with it.

Exactly, stupid streak. His winning % and clutch play is all that matters, not some arbitrary made up streak that makes Jordan look like Matt Barnes in comparison

[(e)]

I'd be curious to know who has the most games in a row with 23 points. 25 is just a weird number, why would you pick 25?

And OP, why you so mad? The streak is pretty much meaningless, everyone already knows Durant is a monster, regardless if he scores 25 straight for 40+ games. Gives fans and the media something to talk about, and the streak definitely gives KD supporters something to throw out in an MVP debate.

But of course, this KD steak pretty much ethers any "argument" for any other player.

[DonDadda59]

Jordan averaged near 12 FTA per game during his streak

Durant..10

Jordan 11.6
Durant 10.6

Jordan c. 27 shots/gm inside the 3
Durant c. 15 shots/gm inside the 3

How is that even possible? :confusedshrug:

Every day Kobe isn't playing takes a toll on him. You can only watch old stuff for so long before you wig out.

Actually I am at peace with myself. Very calm and relaxed.

[Prometheus]

The number is arbitrary to an extent, but scoring more than 25 points every single game is remarkable consistency. You could maybe use 24 points, but 23 is pushing it - 25 is sort of the threshold for whether someone was able to produce very good individual offense. 30 points would surely be more impressive, but do me a favor and look up the longest streaks of 30 point games by a player. I guarantee it's not as lengthy. A streak of 25 points per game shows that you can rely on a player every single night to be a dominant scoring option. You can bitch all you want, but what Durant's doing is very impressive.

[pauk]

I actually agree with 9erempire for once, i just think this is not that MEANINGFULL as say NBA.com has it right now "Breaking news! KD with another 25 pt game!!!!!" headlining it after every game (even if he shot 11-26 & even if perhaps Westbrook played better) and then they have an entire article each time he does it...... they did this with Lebron aswell and i didnt fancy it either.... its like they are just desperately looking for a story...

The most annoying part is that i get these "breaking news" notifications on my Gametime app, *ding ding ding ding ding!! new message* "KD with another 25 pt game!".... omgomgomg! cool....

Pauk just like his idol with live alerts to his phone with KD stats :lol :applause:

[dunksby]

It's not a record setting streak but it IS a streak, how can it not be? Don't tell me it's arbitrary when did it become easy to drop 25+ in an NBA game? Let alone 39 in a row.

It's a cut off because 20 PPG is too low. People don't really score 30 as much anymore... except Durant who is doing work.

-Smak

[sd3035]

people often go by 5's with stats so 25 is normal

[Marlo_Stanfield]

since Durants streak only is alive because o notorious stat whoring at the end of already won games, its worth shit.
that and freethrows

[Jlamb47]

Yal are jealous. If it was one of yals favorite player "Lebron" "Kobe" then of course its a big deal. Yal downplay players 24/7 on here. Cant show greatness and respect when its due. 25+ for 39 games is meaningful. How is it not? hel be the only player besides MJ to put up that many points so many times. Plus theres like 3-4 players even averaging 25 points a game in the LEAGUE. and hes doing this with 32 points a game, KD is str8 BEASTING this year and Lebron fans are upset there player is not on top like he was.

[DMV2]

I'm not impress by the "ESPN" record or streak. Whatever you want to call it.

This is actually worse than our "30-5-5" threads.

25 points is good but it's not a benchmark for elite scorers like Durant.

[Frozen1]

Random and meaningless stat.

[Jlamb47]

Random and meaningless stat.

of course its not Lebron thats why

[Marchesk]

I'd be curious to know who has the most games in a row with 23 points.

Since 63-64, I got:

Wilt: 59
Oscar: 47
McAdoo: 42
MJ: 41
Durant: 39
Kobe: 35

10 is not the same as 25.

Tell us again how Bron would average 33 ppg on 55% FG if he "shot as much as KD," even though Durant only averages 3 shot attempts more than LeBron :oldlol:

[Trollsmasher]

LeBron with KD officiating and number of shots = 35 ppg on 66% TS

[BlackVVaves]

LeBron with KD officiating and number of shots = 35 ppg on 66% TS

I'm sure.

[sd3035]

LeBron with KD officiating and number of shots = 35 ppg on 66% TS
Lebron would average about 11 ppg with "KD officiating", he would actually get called for his travels and offensive fouls, which make up the majority of his points

[Trollsmasher]

Durant never gets called anything against him on offensive end. So I should actually add something to that LeBron's ppg as I did not factor in the lack of offensive fouls called.

[Keno]

i agree. this stat isn't even that impressive. it's a cherry picked, arbitrary stat. the funny thing is jordan isn't even the person who holds the record, it's wilt followed by oscar, so if durant passes jordan he would be only in third. espn just trying to find a way to put durant above jordan, just like after game one of the nba finals in 2012.

[red1]

9erempire right on the money with this thread. When you're hating on durant is the only time I agree with you

[dannywpt]

LeBron with KD officiating and number of shots = 35 ppg on 66% TS

KD with Bran officiating 68ppg on 94% TS

Lebron > KD bruh

Three-peat incoming, thank you King :bowdown:

More like DNP - Too Shook

doesnt pass tue eye test most games

[tmacattack33]

If KD was allowed to get hit like Lebron does, he'd get injured after two games.

[NumberSix]

KD with LeBron officiating = Derrick Rose.

[dannywpt]

KD with LeBron officiating = Derrick Rose.

LeBron with KD officiating = Jeff Teague

Actually the 10 point streak used to be a big deal. Over time it's been forgotten somewhat, but Jordan holds the records with 866 consecutive games.

I remember when it finally came to an end during MJs Wizards stint; it was a sobering reminder that age ends all careers, and sadly everyone has to get older :(

It was depressing, but I think soon after MJ had like a 50 point game, just to remind everyone he was still the GOAT :pimp:
