Durant's scoring title deserves an asterisk.

[21_Dickings]

Kevin Durant, 2011-12 Scoring Champion*










*The Mamba chose to sit out the last day of the season because he had an NBA title to win and didn't give a shit about meaningless regular season accomplishments like "Durantula."

People, this is exactly why Kobe Bryant is the greatest player of all-time. He knows exactly what and what doesn't deserve his focus. And some bullshit "scoring title" in a lockout season doesn't deserve it.

Expect the Mamba to average 40 during the playoffs enroute to his 6 World Championship.

J.H.U.T.T.

Poor quality thread. I expected better

Fail = it would have been a true *title if the woefully inefficient gunner that is Mr. Bryant had played.

[BRHornet45]

son Kobe lucked up having an advantage (as usual) and played in 8 less games than Durant as well as 4 less games than LeBron. it is a lot easier to maintain your PPG average when playing in less games like that. not to mention the fact that he chucked his way to an absolutely pathetic shooting percentage from the field and behind the arc.

but lol son if that's the case you're trying to argue, then nearly every single thing Kobe has deserves an asterisk. case and point ....

Son, this is an asterisk season, correct?

[BRHornet45]

son yes it is.

[pass1st]

son yes it is.

Son, then we might as well hand the asterisk to the Spurs. They thrive in these kinds of seasons

[Venti Quattro]

Son I want this asterisk season. It might be LA's last legitimate run at a title.

[Sean Cagney]

Fukk it I will take it again! Sh*t just give it to the Spurs, they got three non asterisk years as well for titles! I will take this one as an asterisk! Which means your team did not win it all so you have to make an excuse all in all!!!!!!

The Lakers are not going to the Finals this year.

[whitemamba]

[BlairForceDejuan]

OP might have a case if Lakers were going to win a title this year.

[wanggi]

Durant: FGA =19, FG% =.496, 3P FG% =.387

Kobe: FGA =23, FG% =.430, 3P FG% =.303


Durant=28 points
Kobe=27.9 points

Durant > Kobe

[Latarian Milton]

Yet the media and LAL fans still suck up to Mr 6-24's BS:downspin: the most inefficient superstar creation of all time [18th in PER - 17 friggin places behind Jordan who Kobe is compared to by the unknowing idiots and media half brains who still try to argue for him as a GOAT candidate:wow]
http://www.basketball-reference.com/leaders/per_career.html
Perhaps Kobe's greatest BS beyond playing the media up this week for failing to show to try to gun his way to a scoring title [the only title he truly has a chance for this year with his gunning ways set to destroy team harmony again] - was going ape on Twitter when Paul was coming and throwing Gasol under the bus then midseason playing it to the media that he had Gasol's back!

[Brazil]

I'll take the * season tbh

[Spurs9]

Kobe quit

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

I agree with the OP. When the closest runner up for an award is a past his prime chucker then the history books need to note how subpar the competition was that year and properly devalue the achievement.

[Venti Quattro]

Scoring 71 on a meaningless game = class

[JamStone]

I wouldn't consider the scoring title asterisked or a blemish on Durant's legacy or resume. He should have a clear face and be proud of the accomplishment. He was very proactiv all season long. He is so explosive scoring the ball just like popping a pimple. Very explosive.
