Who said that cutting points on the basketball court is as easy as mowing grass? Don't be blinded by superficial phenomena, it is still a rare problem to score more than 2,000 points in three consecutive seasons! Only four big men among the active players have done it, and besides, don't look at Curry's three-point rain so happily, he really has not been touched by the honor of scoring more than 2,000 points in three consecutive seasons.
Basketball, especially the NBA, is never short of myths and legends. One of the most staggering is the art of scoring. You may think, in the current era of small-ball where three-pointers are springing up like mushrooms, isn't it easy to score points? But the doorway inside is not so simple.
It starts with that wild scoring instinct and then stays productive and healthy every season – it's a long game. Although Curry can do everything outside the three-point line, it is a pity that injuries occasionally make trouble, and the other side of this coin has made him pass by the glory of scoring more than 2,000 points in three consecutive seasons.
But there are also people who have done it, and they have interpreted in their own way what it means to be persistently scorching to score a flame. First of all, let's talk about Brother Alphabet, a monster who can hang under the basket, and most of his scores come from brutal basket attacks. Since the beginning of the 17-18 season, he has sprinted up the scoring charts in a way that can barely stop, and by the 21-22 season, even if he only played 67 games, he still scored 2,202 points, an average of 29.9 points per game, a career high. And this season, despite the Bucks' overall struggles, Antetokounmpo has unreservedly demonstrated his scoring ability, averaging a staggering 30.4 points per game.
Then there's Durant, the man who scores as naturally as breathing. His scoring ability is almost unmatched, with seven times he has scored more than 2,000 points in a single season, which is one of the best among active players. He has a variety of scoring methods, whether it is a long-range shot or a cut-in, he can make opponents unguardable. One of Durant's highlightest moments was the 2012-13 season, when he not only won the scoring title, but also averaged a staggering 32 points per game for a total of 2,593 points for the season.
Harden's story is legendary. He was a regular on the scoring charts during the Rockets' golden years. In the craziest 2018-19 season, he averaged 36.1 points per game and scored a whopping 2,815 points over the course of the season, not just points, but also 518 rebounds and 586 assists. However, since leaving the Rockets, although his scoring ability has declined, in his peak, the domineering ability to score 30+ points per game is still fresh in people's memories
