I like players with the ability to score effectively on every spot on the court.
My vote goes to Durant and Dirk.

Curry has to be an answer. Dirk should be too.

Are you upset because LeBron isn't listed?

Serious question: how many guys have averaged 35 points for an entire season? With 55.9% TS or higher.

Or how many guys have also averaged 31 points for a season on 58%+ TS?

Or how many guys average 28+ PPG over a 13 season period?

Or how many guys have had an 81 point game, 6 sixty-point games, 26 fifty point games, and 134 forty-point games?

You simply will not win an argument against Kobe being an all time great scorer. The stats are against you. And so is the eye test.

I wouldn't say I'm sure. No one matched the scoring volume of prime Wilt. The reason I lean elsewhere is because of his FT shooting and touch away from the basket. But factor in his all-time elite rebounding and defensive skillset, with a touch of playmaking, and you have your GOAT :)

Exactly, Wilt scored at an elite level on and off the floor. This isn't a debate.
Also, something that might surprise people. I think when it comes to athleticism, agility, physical attributes and skill I rate LeBron only in the top 50.
