On March 23, Beijing time, the 2021-22 NBA regular season is in full swing. In yesterday's Lakers' 131-120 win over the Cavaliers, James alone scored 38 points, 11 rebounds and 12 assists, and he currently topped the league's scoring list with an average of 30 points per game.
Earlier today, American media swishcultures posted James' highlights of yesterday's game. Surprisingly, the comments section of the video featured the Nets' Durant. He commented below: "It's too easy. Funny, this guy looks both 48 years old and still plays so silky, lol. ”
In fact, James just celebrated his 37th birthday late last year. At the same time, the 33-year-old Durant's performance is not much. In yesterday's Nets' win over the Jazz, Durant frantically scored 37 points, 9 rebounds and 8 assists, including 15 of 23 shots and 4 of 7 three-pointers, showing super efficiency.
It is worth mentioning that james scored 38 points against the Cavaliers yesterday, which was the seventh time he cut 30+ against the Cavaliers, equaling Durant's 30+ games against the Thunder, and tied for the second most active in the game (against the old club).
James, who has averaged 30 points per game so far this season, is at the top of the scoring list and has great hopes of becoming the NBA's leading scorer this season. If elected, James would be the oldest leading scorer in NBA history. He has averaged 25+ per game for 18 consecutive seasons, ranking first in NBA history.
Durant has averaged 29.6 points per game this season, trailing James, Embiid and Alphabet brothers by a slight margin. But because of the lack of appearances, Durant will not have the opportunity to compete for the NBA's top scorer this season. As Durant, who has been the NBA scoring champion four times, this is undoubtedly a pity.
