81 minutes, 35 seconds and 13 minutes, influenza battle, who is the scoring myth?

1:33am, 7 June 2025Basketball

In the NBA league, defense can win the championship, but offense is the fans' favorite. There are always a few players who are decisive in their actions and full of firepower. Every time they appear, they seem to be igniting the fire of war. No matter who you are, you can't stop it.

Fifth place: James Harden

Career data: 24.1 points, 5.6 rebounds, 7.1 assists, 44.3% shooting percentage

Career honors: 1 MVP, 3 scoring champions, 7 All-Stars, 6 All-Squad Team 1

Harden is one of the most underrated scoring madmen in NBA history. He does not crush you with his body, but uses rules and rhythm to play with you. He has been scoring for three consecutive years from 2018 to 2020, and averaged 36.1 points per game in his peak season! His three-pointer with a step back has become a "death skill" that cannot be defended. With rhythm, fouls and speed change, he can easily shake his opponent to his knees to fight. Many people say that he scored 61 points in one game, and you will know that this is not a brush, it is art.

4th place: Tracy McGrady

Career data: 19.6 points per game, 5.6 rebounds, 4.4 assists, 43.5% shooting percentage

Career Honors: 2 scoring champion, 7 All-Stars, 7 All-Squad, 2004 "35.13" creator

If you haven't seen the peak T-Mac, you must have underestimated how strong he is. He is an offensive genius with an extremely talented talent: 2.03 meters tall, point guard-level dribbling vision, three-pointers + breakthroughs + lean back. He doesn't score for the sake of scoring, but he is so relaxed that he makes you doubt your life. The most classic is of course the game against the Spurs with a 35-second 13-minute game, completely unreasonable three-pointers, steals, and finishes, and one-man finishing. His pity lies in his injuries, but his peak in just a few years is enough to make him a master of art to score.

Third place: Kobe Bryant

Career data: Average of 25.0 points, 5.2 rebounds, 4.7 assists, 44.7% shooting percentage

Career honors: 5 championships, 2 FMVPs, 2 scoring champions, 81 points, a single game miracle

Speaking of offensive madman, Kobe is the representative of "cold-blooded offense". He is not as dependent on rhythm as Harden, nor is he as chic as McGrady. He relies on willpower + technology + ruthlessness. His signature moves - a backward jump shot, a turn-over and a turn-over breakthrough, with almost no blind spots. The most perverted game was of course against the Raptors in 2006, with 81 points in a single game, second only to Chamberlain's 100 points. He is the kind of ruthless person who is the more difficult the ball is, the more important the game is, and the more vigorous he will be. The four words "offensive madman" are written by Kobe the hardest.

Second place: Kevin Durant

Career data: Average of 27.2 points, 7.0 rebounds, 4.4 assists, 50.1% shooting percentage

Career honors: 4 scoring champion, 2 championships + 2 FMVPs, 1 MVP, 13 All-Stars

KD is the "cheating code" on the offensive end. He is 2.11 meters tall, with a point guard-level dribble, extremely high shooting point, no one can cover it. He can control the ball like a defender and shoot mid-range like a power forward, and he is terriblely accurate from outside the three-point line. The most outrageous thing is that he plays extremely efficiently, with a shooting percentage of nearly 50%, and can average 30+ per game. In the 2014 MVP season, behind his sentence "You are the real MVP", was the output of 32 points per game, and the calmness that seemed to be practicing shooting in every game. He is the most perfect scoring maniac with almost no solution to the offensive end.

No.1: Michael Jordan

Career data: Average of 30.1 points, 6.2 rebounds, 5.3 assists, 49.7% shooting percentage

Career honors: 6 championships, 6 FMVPs, 5 MVPs, 10 scoring champions, 10 best team teams, Jordan is not an offensive madman, he is the god of scoring. He turns scoring into a belief: when you need him to score, he can score 50; when you don't let him score, he can still score 50. Every type of offense he has—breakthrough, dunk, mid-range shot, back-shot, turn, fake move—is textbook-level. He scored the scoring champion 10 times, the most in the NBA history, and averaged 30.1 points per game and was also the first in history. Even if you retire twice, your peak is still the same. G4 scored 55 points in the 1993 Finals, and 38 points in the "Flu Battle" in 1997. He is the ultimate form of offense.
