Why does KD have only six 50 point games?

[PeroAntic]

And his career high is only 54.

I love the guy but people call him the GOAT scorer but Jordan has 31 of these games and Kobe 20 something, why doesn't Durant ever take over and score 60, 70 or 80 points?

Maybe because he never had to he always has played alongside another volume scorer Curry/Westbrook

[Bankaii]

The fact that Kobe has that many more and KD is still the better scorer shows that your arbitrary measuring stick is pretty useless.

Kd is bigger than mj with more range but mj was an anomaly. Kobe was a volatile scorer. He'd have awful games but then he'd drop 60 in 3q or 81. Mj was a scorer like kd but he also I think was a score as much as possible player when he got on.

I'd say kd is the most complete and most effortless scorer. I mean dude went out there super injured and was hitting js over contests. He can shoot over anyone at any time.

But I don't think kd would get above 70 in his dreams. He'd get 15-22 45 tho.

because he isn't a selfish chucker.



kd is a prolific scorer but he isnt a chucker. not the same thing.

[Smoke117]

OP just compared kd to kobe for scoring games.


dude there were times that kobe took 40 shots a game kobe is all about getting his next shot kd was never like that in fact if anything he deferred more than he should to westbrook.

There should really be some way to make threads invisible for the braindead LeFraud brigade, otherwise they just come and ruin every discussion with their insecurity. I dont even have a preference between Kobe and Durant ffs.

BINGO!!! In addition, he played with Harden when Harden was ALREADY seen as a soon be All Star type player. And he's played another all time great shooter in Klay.

Plus KD can dominate off the rock as well. He can dominate from the catch and shoot position from ANYWHERE on the court! And he's a 50-40-90 shooter as well. So he's among the most efficient scorers of all time.

So when u factor all of that, it's EASY to see what KD has only six 50 point games. I would have thought more because he's such a prolific scorer. BUT when u step back and look at the whole Spectrum, its clearer to see why. Plus KD is a very good passing SF as well.

Kobe played with Shaq...

KObe has scored 50+ points in a game 5 times in all of his years playing alongside Shaq.

He had 6 50+pts games in 2006 alone the year after Shaq left...
And then 10 50+pts games in the following season

Durant had 4 50+pts game playing with Westbrook and obviously isnt gonna get the opportunity to get many on this Warriors team.

Empty stats.

Agreed with the counterarguments.

Fun Fact: Wilt Chamberlain has 118 fifty point games in his career.
