NBA Podcast: Who Is the NBA's Best Pure Scorer?

You know the stock argument by now.

"LeBron James is the best player in the NBA, but Kevin Durant is actually the game's best scorer."

But wait... Is that really true?

What do guys like Kobe Bryant and Carmelo Anthony have to say about it? It's not a coincidence that they're neck and neck with both James and Durant for BOTH the scoring title and MVP races.

All four players are hovering near 30 points per game, while scoring in a myriad of ways—a lot.

On this episode of Basketball by Association, NBA Assistant Editors Ethan Norof and Joel C. Cordes welcome NBA Lead Writer Jonathan Wasserman to debate and rank league's best pure scorers.
