When I look at players like Lebron/Kobe I see a complete offensive arsenal and beyond. Tell me something Lebron and Kobe can’t do? They can raise over any defender, get by any defender, they have hundreds of offensive moves they can use to score, whether it be from step-backs, pull-ups off and on the dribble, crossover, fadeaways, sweetspots, catch and shoot, reverse spin, blow by’s, etc., they can both post(something that is demanded if you expect to be placed in the same sentance with the greats like MJ, Larry), and lets not forget the pass. Both can get a player open when ever they want. Yes KD may have gotten scoring champ 3x in a row. Tell me one thing Kevin Durant does exceptionally better aside from shooting.

i think you should watch lbj and kobe closer. lbj is clearly much less of a shooter. in fact, lebron would not even be in the top 30 today, probably not even 50. I understand he gets to the hoop for dunks a lot but thats not what a pure shooter does.
this also explains why he is called a “choker” You cant expect someone with a mediocre shot to be hitting game winners, and its highly unlikely to get a game winning dunk or layup.
while durant is a better shooter than lebron also, i agree he is over rated.
I say LeBron is a better finisher but Durant is a better scorer than both Lebron and Kobe.
MJ averages more facets within the playoffs and general season. His pleasant taking pictures seasons (in terms of effectivity) is healthier than Durant’s. He has 10 scoring titles to Durant’s 2. He has 32,292 career elements and he did it all in a tougher protecting generation.
LeBron mostly scores from the free throw line, dunks or lay ups. Durant has a jumper.
Lebron is a good scorer but he rarely does fade aways like you mentioned. Kd the best scorer right now tho.
