WTF does pure scorer even mean?


Just another version of bball player v. hooper or the most skilled ever that people always put Kyrie/Kobe/Jamal Crawford in and completely discount anything outside of dribbling and shooting.


Just say you like the way one plays more than another. It's all subjective.

The pure scorer argument is wild. Put the ball in the basket at a high clip for an extended period of time

So Bron is the best.

Thank you.

This pure scorer/ most skilled argument is basically aesthetics based.

If you’ve averaged over 25ppg on 51%fg for 20 seasons,you’re a pure scorer and one of the best ever.No matter how it looks or gets done.

It's really all Kobe nostalgia when you boil all of the hooper/pure scorer rhetoric down to its origin.

 

[AIR J XIII]

The highest % shot in basketball is a layup.

How is this a slight?

Who said it was a slight?

A statement was made to suggest that you can't score 40K points from inside scoring.

The funny thing is when people attempt to suggest such a player is "pass first"

Its completely aesthetic based? Its based off your arsenal and versatility as a scorer. Along with being efficient as well. Being a great scorer and a pure scorer aren't the same thing. I think a lot of ppl are not understanding what players are saying when they say pure scorer. Let me ask you this. Is Karl Malone a pure scorer?

 

[WASHED KING]

The funny thing is when people attempt to suggest such a player is "pass first"

That’s what makes him the GOAT. Not even his best skill and still better than everyone else at it.

Just a masculine way to say you like how another man's game looks.

They use the argument to discredit Greek the Freak and we see how he went on a rampage with a perceived "bag."

In the words of addict4sneakers , Pass-First is just a nice way to say, "Can't score."

Lebron is a better passer than scorer?

Prove it.

I just explained it. Im trying to figure out how you guys are so confused on the term.

 

[DCAllAfrican]

Eh.

Jordan's peak was for like 6 years. Longevity isn't there and his influence isn't as strong as before. Aged out.

Which 6 years were that?

[osh kosh bosh]

This is what separates Nash from "pass first" guys like a Kidd or a Rondo or Stockton.


You can't play Nash for the pass,

if you do that he's lighting you up as an iso guy.

LeBron has everything in his arsenal,so it’s basically a “I like the look of such & such game better”

 

[WASHED KING]

Which 6 years were that?

92-98

Rough estimation

 

[JMB10215]

LeBron has everything in his arsenal,so it’s basically a “I like the look of such & such game better”

Did you see those mid range percentages

 

[JMB10215]

87-93 would of been more accurate

 

[akajae]

Lebron is a better passer than scorer?

Prove it.

 

[WASHED KING]

How about that pass Kobe threw to Shaq once he got trapped in Denver?

Elite level playmaking.

 

[king j]

57 on 68% from the floor & displayed everything in his “bag/arsenal”

Boston Media day is today. Denvers is tomorrow and I believe Monday we are on the way with the rest of the 28 teams. We are almost back to real hoops gentlemen
