This was a coin flip decision between King LeBron James and Kevin Durant. LeBron is on pace to break Kareem Abdul Jabbar's all-time points scoring record and has a slightly higher field goal percentage than Durant (.504 to .491). James is also a freight train when he puts his head down to get to the basket.

That being said, James is a better overall basketball player than Durant, but when it comes to the art of putting the ball into the basket, Durant is in a different category. There has not been a player in the league's history who makes scoring so easy and effortless.

Durant's long frame and ballhandling skills make him the closest thing to unstoppable when he's having a good game. LeBron's strengths are his intelligence and his ability to be a de-facto point guard on the court. Durant's strength is just his pure talent of getting two or three points when he wants.
