KD streak is garbage....

[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

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.

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.

Random and meaningless stat.

of course its not Lebron thats why

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

MJ Durant and Kobe are the impressive ones due to era

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.

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

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

I'm sure.

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

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.

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.
