Dame should be over both. Kawhi on this list is just silly. And KD and Curry have not played enough games this season to qualify. One due to injury and the other due to cowardice.
https://www.theringer.com/nba/2020/6/15/21290999/top-5-nba-playmakers-lebron-james Number 1 scorer. Number 2 playmaker. https://www.theringer.com/nba/2020/6/15/21276748/nba-top-5-lebron-james-steph-curry-james-harden Number 3 guard? So Harden is a better scorer and playmaker than Curry, but not better overall? Oh yeah forgot about Curry’s many all defense 1st team selections....Must have tipped the scales in his favor...
Disappointed Eric bledsoe went under-valued. Never thought Eric bledsoe would be more successful than John wall from Kentucky.
I've scrolled up and down and refreshed almost a dozen times. Even ctrl+F searched. Why is Curry on there and not LeBron??? Am I missing something?
it might not sit right... but it’s true. He scored more this year per 100 possessions than Harden. Sure it’s not exactly in a huge variety of ways. But it is what it is. If some dude was 8 foot 9 and Shaq like athletic enough to play and basically just stood by the basket until he got the ball to effectively dunk every time and scored 35 a game then he’s a great scorer. See Wilt.
Giannis is not a better scorer than any of Lebron, Kawhi, or Steph who he’s ahead of...I trust their scoring more than his Giannis is too limited and too dependent on having great spacing Wilt was setting records so bringing him up isn’t doing much for me
Harden, Durant, Curry and Lebron are unquestionably top 4. All have a claim for top 5 scorer ever. No one as efficient as Curry, no one can match Harden's volume and no one can mess with Lebron's decades long efficiency. Durant is excellent at everything and has the most unguardable shot. Luka will be up there too I think.
This nba season gonna go down like the 98-99 lockout season. God speed china, new york, and worldwide including all of the hulkamaniacs out there!
That's why Greek freak makes sense on the Worriers, from a tactical standpoint. They got tons of spacing. His points come from playing bully ball on others and dunks. Sometimes the system provided more opportunities to score.
I would concur. Durant was unstoppable. Greek Freak can easily be stopped since he can't shoot. Greek Freak was averaging 30 points in regular season and averaged only 22 points against Raptors last year while shooting only 44%. He shot 52% in regular season. Raptors were letting him shoot open shots and that's how the Bucks lost
3-4 years ago it was Durant no question. Since then Harden has put on a show of volume and efficiency that the league has only seen by who most would say is the GOAT. Durant on the other hand has been sidelined by a very serious injury. Possible he comes back like nothing ever happened.......eventually. No way it’s immediate. While there is also a chance he never can reclaim the scoring dominance he once had. Hard to say Durant has any kind of real claim as the number 1 at this point. Even putting him at 2 seems fairly optimistic for this upcoming season. I expect him to get back to greatness but I bet it won’t be till 3/4 through next season if not the next.
