Recently, former NBA player Austin Rivers discussed the topic of who is the best scorer in the NBA in the Ringer NBA podcast.

Host: "Many people criticized Durant in their comments, saying that in their opinion, Kobe and Jordan are the ones who scored the scorers should be. This is their inherent impression."

Rivers Jr.: "In their opinion (those people), if Jordan and Kobe played for more than 20 years, Jordan would probably be the scoring leader. If he hadn't spent those two years playing baseball and had not retired early. Michael averaged 25 points per game during his 40-year-old Wizards' return, and he retired later. So, think about it, if he had never rested and had been playing for so many years, he would definitely be in the top five or even top six of the scoring list. Brother, can you imagine? If he kept playing, he would definitely be the first in the scoring list. There is nothing to argue about, but he didn't do that."

"So LeBron is the first in scoring list, but his style of playing is not as good as a typical scorer. And it's not that interesting. LeBron plays like this - that's why no one directly attributes him to (typical scorer). "

"If you only talk about the results, LeBron scores more than anyone else. If you talk about the ornamentality, you might be more inclined toward scorers who seem to be more skilled in offensive skills (the best scorer rather than James), and those who are more skilled in offensive scoring. For example, LeBron scores more points than Durant. But Kevin scores much more than LeBron. Yes, you might argue against the wall, but that's the truth."
