Dunking on everybody in the park
Re: Durant's having the GOAT scoring season
I love Durant.
GOAT means Greatest of All Time. He is not doing that.
But I do love Durant. He's a Jedi and the savior of the league if you are a Heat/Lebron/Whistle hater.

Who has had a better scoring season? The only arguable one is Jordan 35 ppg on 60 TS%. But you have to consider, Durant is posting 30 ppg on 66 TS%. That number is absolutely otherwordly. His ORTG right now is equal to Jordan's career high and 3 points above LeBron's career high.
I have a hard time buying 5 more ppg>6% higher efficiency

Re: Durant's having the GOAT scoring season
His PPG is inflated because he gets like 21 FT's a game. That isn't otherworldly, he just gets free shots.

Re: Durant's having the GOAT scoring season
52 points on 13 FGs made? Absolutely not.
Guy is being GIFTED free-throws.

Re: Durant's having the GOAT scoring season
Why specifically last 35 games?
Anyways, no... just no... but it indeed is impressive...
Even Larry Bird did better than that at higher volume:
In 76 games he averaged 30 PPG @ 53 - 41 - 92 (on top of that he dropped 6 apg and 9 rpg) and playing less minutes than Durant and MUCH LESS FREETHROWS

30 ppg 60 TS%<<<<<30 ppg 66 TS%
Get real.
Durant's on the verge of leading the league in both scoring and efficiency, he's currently behind ONLY Tyson Chandler in TS%.

What do you mean by 'even' Larry Bird? You spit out his name as if he were some average scorer, lol.

Re: Durant's having the GOAT scoring season
Statistically it's up there, but if you look at scoring numbers without context then Dantley has also had better scoring seasons than MJ. I'll take the guy who can explode for big games more often and relies less on suspect foul calls, personally. People on ISH are underrating it in general though.

Dantley was a black hole who had a negative impact on his TEAMS offense. He would use elaborate post ups that would eat up the shot clock and result in an easy shot, foul, or him passing it to a teammate with 3 seconds left on the shot clock for a contested shot.
Also he played in an era where there was a ridiculous pace. In today's league, Dantley averages 26~ ppg if you adjust for pace.

Re: Durant's having the GOAT scoring season
Maybe the most babied superstar in league history. The guy is a beast and the 2nd best player in the NBA by a mile. But I wish the refs would quit holding his hand

Cry more. He's averaging 9.3 FTA per game and he drives to the basket A LOT. Not to mention his arms are so long, it's very easy for him to draw contact.
If you want to talk about someone being babied, talk about Kobe.
He is literally nothing but a jumpshooter at this point in his career and he's still averaging 8 FTA
