Beijing time on October 8th, the well-known American media "the basketball universe" recently selected the top ten scorers in active service. As a result, this list caused huge controversy outside.
The specific rankings are as follows: Stephen Curry No. 1, Kevin- Durant No. 2, James Harden No. 3, Kawhi Leonard No. 4, Da Mian Lillard 5th, Kyrie Irving 6th, Luca-Doncic 7th, Anthony Davis 8th, Jason Tatum 9th, Bradley- Bill No. 10.
First of all, the most controversial is that Curry surpassed Durant and became the number one scorer in active action. This is a result that most fans cannot agree with. In fact, this can be seen from the hiring habits of Steve Kerr. Whenever the Warriors get into a dilemma, then he 100% will give the ball to Durant to deal with, because of his grasp. Sex is greater. We have to admit that Curry's three-pointers are indeed terrifying, but the closer you get to the basket, the greater your confidence in scoring. This is an undeniable fact. We can often see when Curry feels bad, but we can hardly remember the last time Durant was inaccurate. This is the gap between the two of them.
Secondly, Bill has always been an underrated super scorer, but because of his role in the Wizards, not many people pay attention to him. In the past two seasons, Bill’s scoring average exceeded 30 points per game.This is actually a very remarkable achievement. Carmelo Anthony, known as the "offensive kaleidoscope", has played for NBA for 18 years, but he has never averaged 30 points per game in a single season. This shows that How hard is this!
In addition, if we only talk about scoring ability, Donovan-Mitchell can actually not find a few opponents. It really surprised me that he was not on the list. . Tatum and Davis are both offensive and defensive stars. Their scoring ability is outstanding, but they certainly cannot be described as top. And now Mitchell is a bit like Kobe Bryant back then, scoring is his first priority. In the playoffs last season, Mitchell averaged 32.3 points, 4.2 rebounds and 5.5 assists per game. In the 2019-20 playoffs, he averaged 36.3 points per game. This is a scorer. Is it reasonable not to be on the list?
In addition to Mitchell, James did not appear on the list, which also caused a lot of controversy. In fact, since James entered the NBA, his scoring ability has been questioned by the outside world, but he can always prove himself with data. Because James is too comprehensive, everyone often ignores his scoring ability, but he is definitely a historic scorer. If nothing else, James' career total points next season should be able to surpass Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and become the NBA's all-time scoring leader.
James, now 37 years old,His impact on the court has indeed regressed a lot, but he has developed back-to-back and shooting capabilities, which allows his scoring average to still be easily maintained at 25 points or more.
