NBA enters offseason. In a podcast show, former NBA star Austin Rivers talked about the comparison between James and Durant, saying that James' arsenal is less than half that of Durant, and he didn't even give James' name when selecting the strongest scorer.
When evaluating James, Reeves Jr. said: "James ranks first in the scoring list, but his style of playing is not traditional scorer style, nor is it gorgeous enough. James' game is based on strength, pure will, dedication, basketball IQ, ability to control the game and dominance. These are his core weapons. He used his willpower to crush the penalty area. You have to give him a thumbs up. As he gets older, his jump shot skills are getting better and better. What's outrageous is that he will have the best jump shot level in his career when he retires."
Then Rivers Jr. talked about James and Durant Comparison: "This is a difficult question because are we talking about results or aesthetics? If we talk about results, James scores more than anyone else. But if we talk about aesthetics, you choose a player who scores more exquisitely and has more skilled offense. For example, James scores more than Kevin, but Durant has a much richer scoring method than James. You can argue, but that's the fact that James' offensive arsenal is less than half that of Durant."
In addition, Rivers Jr. also gave the selection of the strongest scorers in history, and he gave names including: Durant, Anthony, Harden, Kobe, Jordan and Iverson.
