Rivers Jr. commented on Jendu: Who is better in the debate on scoring style?

On August 14, former NBA player Rivers Jr.'s remarks on a show sparked heated discussions among fans. In the show, Rivers Jr. talked about his views on many stars, especially his evaluation of James, which caused a stir in public opinion.

Rivers Jr. bluntly stated that among the players he has met, Durant, Harden, Kobe, Jordan and Iverson are the best scorers. He believes that although James has the best scoring ability, his game style is not a typical scorer type and lacks a sense of gorgeousness. Rivers Jr. stressed that James' game is based more on strength, pure will, concentration, mind, IQ, and how to dismantle and control the game. Among them, strength is the most critical, and he often hits the basket with his strong will.

At the same time, Rivers Jr. also recognized that James' shooting ability became better as he grew older, and even joked that James was in the best shooting stage of his career when he retired. However, he still insisted that although James' total scores in his career were more than Durant, Durant far surpassed James in terms of the richness of his scoring methods, and even bluntly stated that "James' offensive arsenal is less than half that of Durant."

Durant is famous for his comprehensive and delicate scoring skills. Whether it is a mid-range jump shot, a three-point shooting, or a final finish after a breakthrough, it is all unique. His height and arm length advantage allows him to easily find space for attack when facing most defensive players, and scoring is like taking pictures.

And James's scoring style is indeed unique. He has a strong body and often forcibly breaks through the defense with bulldozer-like impact to complete the score. With the development of his career, his shooting skills have gradually improved, especially his jump shots at critical moments, becoming more and more stable. But it is undeniable that in terms of the diversity of scoring methods, James and Durant are indeed different.

Rivers Jr. actually reflects the basketball world's discussion of different scoring styles. The strength of James is that he can tear open the opponent's defense line on the field with his body and will, and at the same time, as the core of the team, he will drive the offensive rhythm of the entire team. Durant, on the other hand, takes the lead on the offensive end with his delicate scoring skills.

These two legendary stars have brought countless wonderful moments to fans in different eras. Although their game styles are completely different, they all leave a strong mark in the history of the NBA. Rivers Jr.'s comments may trigger heated debate among fans, but this is exactly the charm of basketball. Whether it is James' powerful impact or Durant's skilled score, it is worth remembering and appreciating by fans.
