OP exposed as SDboxscore's apprentice in training

have you watched defenders on him? there is nothing you can do to stop a 6'10 dude with that quickness short of fouling. in that vein, KD is efficient as fuk cause he makes nearly every FT he takes

I should get paid everytime someone says this. Why did I not trademark Westgoat?

And of course durant is going to get a lot of FT's.. he handles the ball and shoots all game. Who's going to score? Jackson? Lamb? Perkins? The only other player on the team that should be trusted to shoot is ibaka.

Lulz. Wade did similar things back in the day (except it was relentlessly attacking the rim to put pressure on the refs). So did A.I.... except those guys actually went into the lane and took contact. If you breathe on KD while he's at the top of the key it's a foul.

[Rebounds45]

Why is everyone so mad doe? Maybe it's his time to get those 10 fts a game, but then maybe some are unfair calls as well.

[niknguyen]

KD's patented rip through with arms flailing is working like a charm. wasn't he averaging something like 12 ft/g even with westbrook? makes sense for the spike since WB is out and he's main ballhandler.

[Vitamin0]

While he is a matchup nightmare for any defender there is no denying that he gets superstar calls... it is the NBA after all.

What irritates me the most is that they never show the replay that would out the refs for blowing the call.

[Ivan7x]

and people complain about Harden

you seriously cant touch KD without a foul being called

[Temuz]

8-21 FG
18-20 FT

You think Durant is faster and more athletic to cover than LeBron is? lol.

[lenster44]

O lawd.

[Vitamin0]

So I did some more research and broke down some stats.

Durant's fta/min is insane.

Dwight is actually #1 in terms of free throw attempts per minute but he is intentionally fouled in half the games he plays in lol.

Durant 0.272 fta/min
Howard 0.274 fta/min

No one else was really that close compared to those to. Cousins and Harden looked like they were 3/4 at a glance.

like you said, dwight shouldn't be compared to in ft statistics due to hack a dwight. what's crazier is that he isn't leading in that department. lol

[Antonio519]

That's why the NBA is boring, it seems it's more of a free throw contest than an actual game of basketball

[1800_Cool_Guy]

What are Lebrons numbers in the past 8 games? Because all Lebron does is drive to the basket and make layups. Surely defenders are hacking him and gooning him up to make him think twice about layups, thus creating more free throw opportunities.

[dasfeuer]

Got nothing on Wade's numbers.

97 FTA in 6 games during the 06 finals

Even Wades staunchest haters, like myself, have to agree that Wades whole game was slashing and getting to the rim, Dallas fouled him early and often in that series. Durant is a PERIMETER ORIENTED jump shooter.

the fact that he has this many FTA's is straight trash, and the fact that he looks like a strong breeze might break his neck.

This.

Usually I hate this argument but in this case I'll make an exception.... If KD played back in the late 90s (when there weren't any touch fouls) he wouldn't be half the player he is now. Dude would get straight up mauled by guys like Rodman, Payton and Pippen.

[Lb54TG]

I'm surprised harden didnt go to the line 20 times last night. I guess the refs favor durant over harden..

But seriously? A chance at 15 points for free at the line? Come on.

[Lb54TG]

Lebron has 7.5 FTA in his last 10 games.

And he is averaging 26 PPG on 16 FGA a game.

Considering if he were to take 23 FGA like durant or melo.. At his efficiency he would be scoring over 32PPG

[ProteinNCarbs]

KD abuses that continuation rule. As soon as he gets fouled, dont matter if his back is to the dam basket he'll chuck the ball up like its a shot. It normally ends up in the thrid row but he ends up on the free throw line.

[Daewoo_Lanos]

It's becoming absurd.

He's a fkn jumpshooter primarily yet goes to the line more than centers who are fouled on purpose, more than ball dominant perimeter players who drive constantly and hacked to death.

Lebron gifted him his first scoring title. Srs. Kobe gifted him his third scoring title. Srs. The refs are gifting him this one. Not impressed.

Anyone who averages 30ppg and isn't hitting 10.0 fgs per game is automatically a fkn *******. Jordan, Lebron, Kobe, wade... None of them have done that. And KD is about to do that very thing for the second time in his career. Fukouttahere

[EatingMore]

Jordan averaged over 10 free throws a season many times. Lebron used to get to line 10 times as well in Cleveland.

lol at butthurt *******s mad at KD cause he can score like a boss.

http://stats.nba.com/playerStats.htm...Season=2007-08
10.3 attempts at the freethrow line by lebron. Year after year in Cleveland. KD hasn't ever averaged more than 10 other than one season or two.
