Now if you want to discuss, what players surrounded him, how he scored etc....now you're talking about the MVP.

They have a category for both, and currently that is LBJ.

Here is a man who uses more than 5% of his brain.

For example

Games Played 70
Scored 2100
PPG 30

Games Played 82
Scored 2378
PPG 29

Using 5% of your brain would be forming a conclusion based on a sigle statistic in a vacuum.

This just really makes me LOL. So, when asked a simple question that can be answered by looking at ONE stat, I need to be coming up with a Hollinger-like formula based on everything we know to figure out who the best scorer is? Sorry. Scoring is based on one stat, so I'm not sure why I'd need others to help my argument. Scoring is points, period. Doesn't go any further than that.

Not the other guys fault that his opponent only played 70 games. More points is more points.

You said the NBA gives out the scoring title award to the best scorer in the league. You then imply that 2378>2100, which is true. However, the 2100 guy would win the scoring title award and in your view, be awared the best scorer in the league. But that contradicts you statement of the guy scoring 2378 is better than the 2100. Maybe the scoring title isn't so black and white when it comes to best scorer in the league.

If that is the theory, who won the NBA Scoring title in 2007-2008?

This coming from a Cavs fan, so the Kobe loving talk is useless.

I mean they give it out based on PPG. I have no control over that, so LeBron DID win it--to answer your question. But Kobe scored the most points, and my opinion doesn't change now that I see who it is, it isn't Kobe's fault that LeBron only played 75 games. Kobe scored more points, I would give the scoring title to Kobe. But the NBA goes PPG--which makes total sense to me too. Either way it's fine, bottom line is--most points wins. There shouldn't be any factor other than points to determine who the best scorer is. Points=scoring, scoring=points. When you play a game and lose 103-99--you can look into the game all you want, the bottom line is you didn't score enough points to win.
