Durant destroys LeBron in efficiency , not to mention his portability as a scorer is largely unprecedented . He ' s elite in all facets of scoring and can be put anywhere from on the ball to off of it coming around screens . He can be put in any system and his numbers are largely unaffected . LeBron requires the system to be his own while he must have the ball in his hands for large amount of time to be LeBron . And that LeBron , aside from his 2013 14 seasons in Miami , can ' t measure to Durant ' s efficiency in OKC as a scorer , not to mention that Durant was doing it on considerably higher volume . And even considering LeBron in Miami , it looks as if Durant in a similar positionGolden State is posting numbers that have quite literally never been seen in the history of the league . Durant averaged 32 . 0 ppg on 65 . 0 TS % while playing off the ball to a score first pg . Durant ' s prime started circa 2012 , his numbers since then are 28 . 8 ppg on 64 . 0 TS %. That efficiency number is going to balloon to laughable numbers over the next few years now that he ' s in Golden State and is threatening to breach the 70 TS % barrier . He ' s literally leading the entire league in efficiency and he ' s scoring 27 . 0 points per game . Let ' s just put 68 . 2 TS % in perspective , here are the only seasons in the history of the league where a player averaged more than 13 . 0 ppg on 68 TS %. LeBron ' s prime started in 2009 and I guess you could argue has continued until today . He ' s averaging 27 . 0 60 . 5 TS % and his numbers are trending downward due to no longer being in the efficiency friendly Miami system . Durant is the most efficient 25 ppg scorer in the history of the league by a large margin and that number is only trending upwards . If he has a 4 year run at Golden State at his current efficiency , like the 4 years LeBron spent in Miami , he will be at career 63 . 0 TS %. That would be the highest career TS % in NBA history for ANY NBA player regardless of career ppg . And he would also be the 3 rd all time in career ppg . So essentially he would be the third highest volume scorer in the history of the game while also being the most efficient scorer to ever play it . for Jordan , I could absolutely argue Durant has been a superior regular season scorer than Jordan . I don ' t necessarily think that he is , but there is definitely an argument that could be made . He is far more efficient and his volume prime for prime is very comparable to Jordan ' s peak scoring seasons , 19881993 . reference . complayersdduranke 01 . html # 20132017 sumperposs reference . complayersdduranke 01 . html # 20132017 sumadvanced reference . complayersjjordami 01 . html # 19881993 sumperposs reference . complayersjjordami 01 . html # 19881993 sumadvanced
