Lebron has a real chance to become the number 1 scorer in NBA history but he's not a scorer 
but the guy with the most MISSED FGs in NBA history is a better scorer

lebron is easily a more prolific scorer than KD

The East historically has stronger defenses and considerably slower paced basketball, meaning it should've actually been harder for him to scoreSPENT HIS WHOLE CAREER IN THE WEAK EAST

Hell, some of LeBron's biggest scoring series have come against top-5 defenses
It's bizarre that a guy who's averaged at least 25 PPG for 15 straight seasons has the perception of not being much of a scorer.
For the record, KD's a better scorer, but the arguments are ludicrous.

its a combo of things. lebron has higher peaks in scoring than durant. Kobe has higher peaks in scoring than lebron but he he also has lower peaks of bad shooting to get those numbers. lebron flat out gets buckets
and has done it against better defenses
durant is a better shooter but he's NOT a better scorer

LeBron averages MORE points against the West than against the East. The playoff teams in the East have had a slower pace and much better defenses than the West for almost his entire career (and when the rare West team had a top defense, he often faced them too in the Finals).SPENT HIS WHOLE CAREER IN THE WEAK EAST

It's worth mentioning that pre-Golden State Durant's crazy scoring efficiency never really translated to the playoffs. One of thos realgm cats was breaking it down, and basically he didn't really respond well to physical play and his shot selection and decision making became way more suspect

KD has the height and skill to be, a 7 foot guy who can shoot from anywhere, get to the rim..etc. But in terms of accomplishment, it is MJ and not even close.
BRON DIDNT HAVE ONE 40 PT GAME IN HIS 1ST 5 FINALS AGAINST THE WEST...
DIDNT GET 40 UNTIL HE RAN UP AGAINST GS FRAUDULENT DEFENSE.
HE HAD 5 40PT GAMES AGAINST THEM IN 2015-2016...

I never thought Lebron was a better scorer anyway. He was always just more durableJordan>>LeFrozen

lmaoooo I had no idea KD led Lebron in all those areas
That’s all it is really. Lebron had the fortune of never really having a serious injury untill just last year.
KD only 30 and already has a career altering injury.
Toe for Toe, box score, Advanced stat. KD Leads Lebron in more categories. Even I was surprised but watching the too, the final stat, the eye test. KD always was the more skilled scorer
KD also averaged a better FG% 3PT% And FT% against Lebron in the 2012 finals.
KD was 23. Lebron was 28
Golden State's "fraudulent defense" where they had the #2 defense in the NBA that year including a DPOY candidate in Draymond, an All-Defensive center in Bogut, and two of the top perimeter defenders in the NBA in Iggy and Klay? The team that outside of overtime games only had an opponent score 100 points on them once that entire postseason?BRON DIDNT HAVE ONE 40 PT GAME IN HIS 1ST 5 FINALS AGAINST THE WEST...

You really make garbage takes left and right.
He had no chance against the Spurs in 2007 and he failed against the Mavs in 2011. But after that he averaged nearly 30-10-7 on 47% shooting in beating the Thunder, averaged 32-10-7 on 48% shooting (and 43% from three) over the last four games to come back against the Spurs, and averaged 28-8-4 on 58% shooting and 52% from three in 2014. Put up the ridiculous 36-13-9 line (though on 40% shooting) playing 1-on-5 in 2015, then brought his team back from 3-1 down with back-to-back 40 point games on the way to averaging 30-11-9 on 50% shooting (37% from three) in 2016. Averaged 34-12-10 on 56% shooting (39% from three) in 2017, and then put up 51 playing 1-on-5 against in 2018.
Outside of the first 3 games against the Spurs in 2013, LeBron's hasn't had a problem scoring against the best teams in the West in his last 7 Finals. He's averaging over 30ppg on strong shooting numbers over 7 Finals against the best teams West and you want to drop the bullshyt claim that he would struggle to score if he had spent his career playing the freaking Suns, Rockets, Clippers, Jazz, etc. in the early rounds?

I agree. In regards to being the most prolific scorer, able score anywhere with extreme efficiency
It’s Jordan, KD, and Larry Bird as far as proficiency
Then you got Kobe, who was probably the most explosive scorer of all time, he got hotter than just about any volume scorer.
Then you have George Gervin, LeBron, and prime T Mac
