This man is 35, has had a Jones fracture along with ruptured achilles, and he's still probably the best scorer in the NBA. MJ and KD are the two best scorers I've seen.
And yet he averages almost identical Ppg as Bron on less efficiency.
Its funny how often the dude with the most points ever gets overlooked as a scorer just because he doesnt do it as aesthetically as others.
Not hating on your comment btw just always find it interesting.
harden and kobe are in that conversation as well and up there imo
Kobe yeah but I don’t know about Harden
Lmfao you have that bum Harden but not LeBron or Curry 😭
What’s funny is LeBron and KD have almost the exact same ppg and efg% for their careers. KD is a better shooter but not a better scorer than LeBron. Free throw shooting is the only reason why he has a higher ts% (obviously).
I was convinced he was gonna lose his first step and average like 24 after the injury. If anything that year off might’ve made him better
MJ is IMHO the GOAT, but by his nature calls for building a team around him. KD seems like you could drop him in almost anywhere and he’ll just cook. There has never been another scorer like him.
Why does MJ need a certain team around him? He could easily play SG or SF in today’s league and he’s a great defender and a 3 level scorer. How is that not a guy you can just slot in anywhere?
i mean put MJ at point guard and he could be like a ja morant on roids
I think KD takes the bigger cake coz MJ had the advantage of being a natural athlete while KD is all skill. KD buckets are a thing of beauty.
