    No you didn't say that...you said it was the argument.

    "They keep a stat to tell who is the best scorer in the league--it's called PPG."

    We were having an argument about how the scoring title should be given out. The guy that has the highest PPG should win the scoring title. There is no argument about that.

    Again...read your sentence

    You weren't saying who the scoring title should be given to.

    Winning the scoring title does not make you the BEST scorer in the League, it makes you the LEADING scorer of the League. People may say "best" but it does not mean best.

    Two guys who have won the Scoring Title in the past: Shaq & David Robinson. Would you call those two the "best" scorers in the League in any given year??? Absolutely NOT.

    Which is why they are given the award for "NBA Scoring Title."

    There you go trying to spin shit, you got caught just own up to it

    Again, read what I wrote in this thread. When you win the scoring title they call you the best scorer in the league. We were arguing about how it should be given, PPG certainly. The scoring title gives a guy that title for a year whether anyone agrees or disagrees with who it is. Just like whether or not I think the Cavs were the best team in the NBA last year--the Lakers won the title. I think LeBron is the best scorer in the league, but Durant gets the title. Doesn't change my opinion, but the stats give that title to Durant. In the argument of how it should be given out, PPG is undisputed. In my argument of who the best scorer is, it's part of it--and a big part. But you're trying to connect two different arguments and tell me I failed...

    LMAO, I'm not owning up to anything because I'm not spinning anything. Whoever brought the old thread up and whoever posted the quotes from me was the one trying to spin shit.

    you a true Lebron dick rider SQ, spinning the #'s and words any way to make it look like Lebron is the best

    I think LeBron is hands down the best scorer in the league. Durant can have that title this year, as he scored more points. Doesn't necessarily make him the best scorer in the league though--too many variables to say that, his team needed it more. Not to mention LeBron's assist numbers, he defers to his teammates more and still comes that close--and sits a number of games down the stretch. Like I said, Durant gets to carry the title of the best scorer--I'm not taking anything away from him. Regardless of my opinion, that's what winning the scoring title does for you. But I don't actually think he's a better scorer than LeBron.

    mise well post the quotes LOL
    I love that he's the next in line to be called the best scorer in the league. I just love this argument because it really makes people look dumb. REALLY dumb. They keep a stat to tell who is the best scorer in the league--it's called PPG.
    No, everyone else has a ridiculous argument that someone with a pretty jump shot is a better "pure scorer". I don't even think people read what they're actually typing. How does that even make sense? The best scorer is the guy averaging the most points. It's incredible that he goes on that long a streak of 25+ and he's still behind LeBron. I'll make this argument for any guy who is at the top of the scoring list. The point is, there is no argument when you're talking about who the best scorer is. If there was, then why even keep PPG stats?
    It is black and white.

    LeBron 1766 points.
    Durant 1667 points.

    1667 is not more than 1766.

    If shot attempts matter then LeBron is shooting 50% from the field, Durant 48%.

    Anything else?

    29.9>29.8

    They keep the stat for a reason. They give scoring titles based on it. They give scoring titles to the best scorer in the league in a given year--there is no BS argument, because more points is more points, period.
    Ummm...clearly. Because it isn't an opinion. You're right, stats don't tell everything--but PPG tell me who the top scorer in the league is.
    If that was the case and they were at the top, then Durant is the better scorer. Who would the NBA give the scoring title to? LeBron, because he's on a team of All Stars and if he wasn't...well, he'd have more points! LOL, no. They'd give it to Durant. There is no argument for who wins the scoring title--it's whoever scores the most points. They are the best scorer in a given year. It IS that black and white. There are no variables, if the ball went in the hoop it went in the hoop--if not, then it didn't. That's the only variable.
    Bottom line is, it is black and white, there are no variables, etc., when talking about scoring. Points are points. No one cares how you got them, how pretty it was, nothing like that. If you lead the league in scoring then you lead the league in scoring--there is not argument.
    They're awarded the scoring title for being the best scorer. How is a guy the best scorer when another guy has the scoring title?! LMAO!

    Using 5% of your brain would be forming a conclusion based on a sigle statistic in a vacuum.

    This just really makes me LOL. So, when asked a simple question that can be answered by looking at ONE stat, I need to be coming up with a Hollinger-like formula based on everything we know to figure out who the best scorer is? Sorry. Scoring is based on one stat, so I'm not sure why I'd need others to help my argument. Scoring is points, period. Doesn't go any further than that.
    Well, LeBron won it. But Kobe scored the most points. They give it out based on average, that's fine. Average makes perfect sense, it doesn't really matter either way--more is more. End of story. Teammates, shot attempts, blah, blah, blah. None of it matters. Points are points, whoever scores more of them is the best scorer. So there you go, you can look at it multiple ways--total points or PPG. But that's it. Other than POINTS nothing else matters.

    Exactly. That's what I'm trying to say. When you win this award they call you the best scorer in the league--"they" being the media or whoever. I don't think it makes you the best scorer in the league, personally. That's just me, not everyone. I think there are more variables in that. I agree with the scoring title going to PPG, so I have no issue with him holding that title this year--I don't agree with it, but he's the scoring champ and that's what happens when you're the scoring champ. They call you the best.

    Lol I did read this thread! And I agree with waht you're saying on this thread...it's just that you're contradicting yourself from the other thread.
  • SQ_Crazies
    I'm done trying to explain, I wasn't even going to try and now I'm wondering why I did. I knew some of you guys wouldn't get it--you've seriously just been so desperate to bust my balls on something. You're doing it wrong.
  • wildcats20
    I honestly don't think I have heard anyone(the media or whoever anyone wants to say) call the scoring champ the "best." But that's just me.

    No, I'm not. That's what you aren't understanding. It was two separate arguments.

    LOL, forget it..

    Maybe not the media, just "they". You know? Those people. That's what the award is supposed to mean, if a player wins it he has the right to tell people he's the best scorer in the league for a year--that's what the award gives you. I don't think that, I agree with you--I think it makes you the leading scorer. I have no beef about KD walking around saying he's the best though--I just don't have that big a problem with that opposing position. I just don't look at the scoring title that way.

    lol quit trying to save face just take ur L

    You guys 1

    Do you feel better?

    LOL, it's like letting a retard beat you in a game of Pig. And I don't mean Jason McElwain.
  • jpake1
    Maybe you've smoked too much today SQ. You got your balls busted a bit on the old thread because you contradicted yourself to some level. Now you're doing the same, but on a much much worse scale. Your opinions have changed very much since that thread. But you aren't owning up to it. EVERYBODY else is seeing what you wrote and comprehending it. There is no man hunt to prove SQ wrong. Just guys BS'ing. This is actually one of the biggest epic fails I've seen on the site. Never thought it would come from you. But we all know damn well that you'd be roasting somebody quite bad if they were in your shoes.
  • SQ_Crazies
    LOL, roast me...by all means, roast me. Trust me, I'm laughing as hard as anyone right now..
  • goldengonzo
    Oh my god, SQ you should be a politician with the way you put that spin.

    And trust us, you may be laughing hard, but you have just about everyone else on this thread with reading comprehension laughing at YOUR POOR SPIN JOB. Classic. Too good too be true.

    Anyways, on to the topic.

    Durant has become a top 5 player in the league this year and I wouldn't hesitate to say top three very soon. We know LeBron James has already broken a ton of scoring benchmarks, but Durant just might break a few more.

    Is there a series in the playoffs more intriguing than LAL and OKC??
  • jpake1
    Awesome, we're glad to hear. We're not laughing at you, we're laughing with you.
  • jpake1
    Yes there is.. at least for me.
  • devil1197
    LeBron isn't the best pure scorer in the NBA.

    I don't agree with the posts that say he has no mid range game, but I agree that he doesn't show any post game. Doesn't mean he doesn't have a post game in his bag, he just never uses it at all. Towards the end of his career when his attacking ability starts to fade, I think you'll see more backing down by LeBron.
