Everyone as their opinion on Kevin Durant. But some things can't be denied. KD is undoubtedly one of the best scorers ever, and I'd go as far as saying that he's the best scorer ever. From a strictly basketball perspective, he does everything offensively to put the ball in the rim. And his play shows it. Check out how.

I rather take 35 from Steph than 35 from Durant because Curry's gravity and shooting get you a higher win, gets teammates easy buckets like Durant and Klay and Curry is the focal point for the defense, not Durant. That's why 35 from Curry means he beats you in the third quarter and rest, not Durant. Durant Isolating suffocates the offense and for @ By Any Means Basketball, You don't talk about YOU CAN DOUBLE TEAM Durant and because he sucks at getting a pass for his height, then you can get a steal. Overhyped!!

Not really I mean against Kawhi or even Beverly and Marcus Smart, Blake Griffin, Tim Duncan, Boris Dias, I could name players all day, Draymond, Steph, Klay, and Iggy make him look better than he actually is. He had Westbrook, Harden and a ton of talent still couldn’t beat the Heat, Chris Bosh and Prime LeBron shut him down. If you put any good player on a good team you have a high chance of winning, I mean look at the Raptors they have Lin as their 3rd string PG and Ibaka coming off the bench, it’s obvious that KD depended highly on others to be successful. Dirk Nowitizski did what KD did a million times better, but I say Tracy McGrady was the greatest shot creator of all time, their was a game that is legendary between the Mavericks and Rockets where Nowitzski and McGrady went for 50 a piece and it came down to the wire. Tracy McGrady never had a good team, his only other all star was Yao Ming, and like Steve Nash and Karl Malone he eventually went to the Magic and rotted out his career on a team that would never win. Regardless he made it to the Finals and may have not won a ring like Dirk, but give Tracy McGrady Jason Kidd, Marion, Jason Terry, and he’ll three peat.

Not necessarily. As creative of a scorer Tracy was, he never worked on his game in manner in which he could slow himself down and get easy go to buckets. Look at Kawhi's game right now. He can just be slow and methodical and get whatever shot he wants on the floor. As creative as T-Mac was as a scorer, he was never a guy that could be methodical in terms of getting whatever he wanted on the floor while simultaneously getting other players better. He was a great scorer, but I think Durant is a better scorer. And Jordan is better than them both.

He’s the best scorer of all time and it isn’t close. All because of one simple reason...Every great scorer has a weakness somewhere. He’s a 7 footer with handless and speed like a guard. Can shoot from 30, finish around the basket, back to the basket, facing the basket, post game, midrange, driving ability. Shot can’t be blocked. He is literally a threat everywhere on the court.

Regardless of however you feel about KD, he’s a 7 footer that can do literally everything on offense and moves like a guard. His jumper is almost unblockable and he can either blow by you or cross you up. It’s hard to say he’s a better scorer than MJ but my god I have never seen a player that can score as easily as KD.

Eghose Isiramen Way better. Off the dribble, catch and shoot, contested, from any spot, can hit from the logo. But it was a different time. I 100% believe if MJ played now, he would 100% develop a more consistent 3 PT shot because of how insanely competitive he was. Also he played in the triangle and didn’t really need to shoot 3s to score a lot. I mean he was a 10x scoring champ. But yes, KD is a more complete offensive player in terms of what he can do, not necessarily numbers.

Undoubtedly he is one of the top 3 scorers of all time. For me it's not only the huge skillset that KD has but also how effortlessly he scores.Anyone who's played basketball knows it's not easy to score and to score over good defenders, but KD scores effortlessly on anyone good defenders or bad. And most of the times the defender looks so helpless. I've only seen Jordan and KD score like that. Not too many other players come to mind who can do that.

Kd’s body broke down season after season because of his lack of taking care of his body and health. He had 2 major foot surgeries since OKC years and now the Achilles. Won’t be the same in terms of getting in the bucket for contact. KD last season missed time as well. Too bad playing with 2 shooters 2 excellent defenders and point forward did not made it easy for his health. Can’t say the same in a Brooklyn. His career is over.

Let's be real tho KD could have like 4 scoring titles at least, KD has been on a stacked team for the past 3 seasons so he hasn't scored as much as he could. He relies marginally on athleticism also compared to Kobe, MJ, etc so he can keep this up till he's 38 aswell and by that time he'll probably stack up the accolades too

MJ was known for his scoring rampage when he was young with an efficiency of a big man. 45.2 ppg on 30.4 attempts 35.7ppg on 21.5 attempts and his scoring records in playoffs is unmatched. Many people forget that MJ has an insane level of stamina and creativity that even in the most difficult situations he scored a lot of his points.

RO Payne Karl Malone has more points than Jordan all-time too. Doesn’t mean he’s a greater scorer. Kareem scored his points over the course of almost 20 years man. Jordan only played in the NBA for 14 seasons. Two of them being with Wizards. And he’s still 4th all-time (currently)

He is top 5 for sure. His height advantage and athleticism kind of puts him in the wilt category. Where it’s a little less impressive to some(not me) how he can score at will. MJ, Kobe, Harden are all average NBA height 6-6 so what they do looks a little more harder than KD. You left out the free throw shooting which to me is pivotal and very important part of a great scorers offense. Kd is a career 88% from the charity stripe.

A true man amongst boys when it comes to scoring, then to top it off he plays great off the ball and is a defensive beast.

With that kd build you knocking down all contested shots 70% of the time honestly the best way to build a pure shooter that iso & pulls off the dribble you can chalk your great handles and passing for, post scoring, the ability to still some how posterize (I guess do to length) and play a lil defense, blocks under the hole in on perimeter, you truly become a good 2 way but even better the greatest scorer in the NBA

In terms of pure ability and versatile, then KD is defintely the best ever. But it's what you've done that matters more, Jordan just has more volume on similar efficiency to KD. Also check his efficiency in the 2016 playoffs to his 2017 playoffs. Playing with Curry and Klay and the Warriors has taken him to new heights. Also most guys here comparing KD's career so far to Jordan's full career, Jordan was firing away in his later years so his efficicney obviously dropped. Also yall act like playing with no zone means Jordan just played one on one throughout. Just because Longley or Rodman camped out by the three point line doesn't mean the big man defending them would have to be at the three point line. They'd be ready to help anytime on a Michael Jordan drive lol. And unfortunately Jordan couldn't drive and kick because there weren't as many shooters back then as there are now in the best teams. So when big men like Hakeem and Robinson and Shaq helped, he would have to take a mid range shot. Fortunately for Jordan he was the greatest mid range scorer ever.
