Scoring isn’t just ppg. Some players like Steph demoralize their opponents by hitting some insane shots and that’s something that not a lot of players do. AD for example scores really well but it never really feels like he’s dominating the offensive side. Kobe is a prime example of this. He wasn’t the most efficient legend (tho he was efficient in his era) but he would beat teams mentally with his onslaught of scoring and that would make it easier for his teammates to score or for him to score. It feels like people on this sub just look at ppg and think it’s just that number plus their TS% in order to get a sense of how good of a scorer a player is/was.
Essentially what I’m trying to say is that not all high scoring players are the same. Some score 30 ppg (Beal) but don’t really make defenses afraid of them like Curry, Jordan, LeBron, Kobe, etc… that aspect of their games is what made their scoring more impressive. Demoralizing teams is part of their legacy’s. Along with their scoring.
