no. The greatest scorer has the most defenders trying to stop him, and has gimmick defenses designed just for him, and to get the ball out of his hands. lulz at Kawliflower.
True but in the playoffs folks take away some of his foul drawing, his penetration, and some of his step backs. Little by little his TOs increase. A great scorer has counter measures. Vast arsenal at that.
A great scorer is simply naturally either athletic or with a long wingspan and height or both. Also, being able to shot well and flop when things don’t go your way. A great example would be Durant and Curry.
As the game is called, Durant. Seems he can get off the highest percentage jumper, over anyone, from anywhere. Might be the best combo of height X shooting accuracy ever. In a vacuum I'd say Harden. He's a more complete scorer inside and out, the unguardable stepback, stronger, more athletic, superior handles, a step quicker, greater repertoire of creative moves, ability to finish at the rim, and even better shooter when smothered; but not as currently officiated and particularly not in the PO's, if defenders are allowed to occupy his landing zone (much less body into him), and he's not able to draw fouls when touched.

do you mean people in the playoffs this year? otherwise, lebron showed last year that it's (still) him. though kd is close.
No way would it be KD. Not many teams can afford double coverage when you have Steph and Klay on the wings ready to bombard a few 3's.
Haven't looked up any stats, but I think KD's points scored would go up when Steph isn't on the floor, with a lower TS%.
Jokic got a triple double in a game 7 which was the first game 7 triple since LeBron when Cavs won it all in 2016.
That’s right, but the TS% is still very good. Like 61% if I remember correctly. And his scoring jumps to about 43 points per 100 possessions without Steph on the floor.
