Pure scorer is somebody that's a threat anytime from anywhere. A bucket getter is somebody with less versatility but they still cant be stopped.

[@strawberrysherbet96]

Yep. Pure scorer has more bag. And usually a more refined iso game and more handles and crazy tough shots. Bucket getter is the one that plays team ball but gets all the buckets that are needed. They are pure scorers too in a way but they just can’t be stopped. Bucket better is a level above a pure scorer.

[@bytheriverinpeace2301]

LeBron is a pure scorer who just so happens to also be freakishly athletic. He came into the league with a slightly below average jumper, but could get hot from anywhere. From 2004-2008, he added post scoring, post fades, runners, leaners, and improved his 3 pt shooting. People only say hes not a pure scorer because a lot of his points come at the rim (35% of his fg attempts are at the rim , while the other 65% consists of midrange and 3 point shootig.) People get blinded by the dunks and fast breaks but ignore the fact that in a majority of his high scoring games come from being automatic with his jumpers. People claim he has no bag, but for every move they say a kobe or kd can do, LeBron can also do it. Lets also add in the fact that layups and getting to the rim requires you to have a bag. There were many players LeBrons size or bigger who struggle around the rim. He has jelly layups, reverse layups, contact layups with both hands. Just his layup package alone is enough of a bag that he consistently makes 70-80% of his finishes at the rim regardless of the type of defenders waiting at the rim (ibaka, garnett, noah, deight howard etc). There isn't one way to consistently stop him. Make him go left, he is ambidextrous, he can finish with a fade, a leaner , right handed floater, do a step back or finish with his left at the rim make him go right, hes dunking on you, doing a finger roll over you and your center, fading away or pulling up. Give him space he's 35-40% from 3 depending on the season. Put a smaller guy on him, he posts them up. Put a bigger guy on him , he blows past them. He isnt seen as a pure scorer because of his athleticism and passing overshadows his skilled play

A bucket is a bucket right. I didnt say Wilt i get that during that time but Shaq did what he did in the modern era against alot of types of big men and great pick pockets

I don’t think pure scorer and bucket getter are the same. I’d say Melo is a pure scorer whereas Bron is a bucket getter Edit: Just fyi. Not indicating Melo is a better scorer. I just think he likes to mix it up and has a deeper bag. In my opinion Bron is a better scorer but he’ll usually just get straight to the point. He’s not gonna use an assortment of feints or dribbles. I’d say the same for Zion, Greek, Shaq, Brunson. Shit if anything these guys not only get it done but they’re usually more efficient. On the other hand guys like Embiid, Kyrie, Tatum, Poole like to do a little extra

[@greg2797]

To Melo's point I think he really was just talking about how people interpret or view things. Technically speaking Bron is a all time great scorer. He can go get a bucket whenever he wants. But its the way that he does it that is why people don't put LOOK at him as a scorer. He is going to call some pick and rolls and get a better matchup, or just sprint downhill and either blow past you or physically move you out the way. Its kinda how people don't view Shaq as a scorer even tho he could get you a bucket whenever too. Shaq used more power and strength. And even tho Shaq had a hook shot and a bit of a turnaround shot just like even tho Bron has a fadeaway shot over the left and right shoulder and floaters, and pull up jumpers, most of their buckets aren't from that so it doesn't look as "pretty" or "pure" as how a KD or Booker gets their buckets. Kinda silly but I get why people think that way. Shaq is a way more efficient scorer than a.i. and can give you just as many buckets as him but people still will look at a.i. as a more pure scorer. It's an aesthetic or style as Melo puts it. Being a pure scorer doesn't make you a better scorer

[@agwiz2777]

I get what you’re saying but bron’s more of a hybrid, like if i were to compare highlights reels of the all timers i can assure you not many would even come close to brons in terms of high level plays & even style, so the whole “bron don’t have a bag” thing is either wishful thinking or recency bias which is completely reasonable since theres been like 5 to 6 versions/iterations of bron 😂; also people in general need to get their shit together cause reducing skills & fundamentals to a beauty contest where style & aesthetics is the main argument is ridiculous, like reggie miller’s shooting form was horrendous but was mechanically sound so “looks great” doesn’t mean its great, same goes for equating “deeper bag” to more skill is complete nonsense & pure fan service, sure, sometimes it does overlap, where you get both, beauty & high level skill, kyrie irving probably being the best example of it, but equating them is wrong & we’ve come to a point where even pro players are regurgitating & reinforcing this notion(narrative).

[@greg2797]

@@agwiz2777 yea I was just breaking down what Melo meant but I agree. But even Melo seemed to catch himself because he realized Bron doesn’t fit in what he was trying to say. towards the end he concluded that a “pure scorer” is about the style in which you score and doesn’t make you a better scorer. So while Kyrie for instance would be considered a pure scorer because he does it in an esthetically pleasing way, he is not a better scorer than Shaq. As much as that may bother people it’s facts.

For most people Jordan is a given and its been said so much about how he can just get buckets anywhere on the court and was basically unstoppable. He adapted to everything thrown at him and scored. Take away the baseline he was either going to put a move on you and still go baseline or rise up and shoot over you. In transition he was taking the ball into the paint if you clogged the paint he pulled up with a midrange and on occasion the 3 ball. He would jump over you driving to the hole. He would adjust in mid air from the right to the left and still score. All one had to do was look at Melo from head to toe and you would know he knows who the greatest is!!!

The spacing and pace of the NBA game is a cheat code for Bron because he’s the most physically gifted player EVER! He is not, however, a great one on one player, but that’s not how championships are won. He elevates others like only few others before him.

I am glad Melo clarified it really comes down to narrative and style. I always said 30 points is 30 points. Don’t mean one is better.

[@MXRVINBXNKZ]

LeBron Is A Scorer. But It Also Depends On What LeBron You Talking About. Example: First Cleveland Run He Was Pure Scorer, He Played A lot Of ISO Ball But Miami LeBron Is Pure Fast Breaks Not To Say He Didn’t Have His Games But That Team Was A Threat Because Of The Fast Break Opportunities They Got.

[@pkaytriple2055]

you know ball!

[@MrPahollo]

LBJ end of pure scorer era was game 2 of his finals against the Mavs

[@jaystacks5249]

@@MrPaholloso was Kobe’s when he stopped shooting against the suns or when he got swept by those same mavericks. Just asking

[@MrPahollo]

@@jaystacks5249with Suns it was a deliberate move in the second half as he played ok in the first. With mavs he was after his prime already and the league made a huge progress already and Kobe was not making any,as lot of stars at this point of their careers

[@santosdelarosa11143]

Melo said there’s only about 10 players who are pure scorers. But he named 30 😂 but he’s right bout there are a lot more.

[@rulerjayohenn3161]

Scoring department : •3pt shootings •Post play •Mid rang effectiveness •Athletic/lay up/finishing at the rim. •FT shooting

[@ousmandiallo2823]

Melo was like that 100! My favorite player after the Kobe and AI era.

[@hoppy23]

There is nothing robotic about having good ball movement and swinging the rock to your teammate

[@lilgondo2476]

No Allen Iverson 3-4 time scoring champ in a physical era averaging all above 30🤦‍♂️

[@puncho8799]

Jordan should have been #1 on this list 🐐💯

[@dvijay461]

The dudes chillen and just naming people in no particular order. Of course he knows Jordan is there. Relax.

[@puncho8799]

@@dvijay461 He’s wearing Jordan gear but he don’t mention his name which should be obvious just a little weird to me

[@newdirectionconsulting8744]

It's literally so obvious he thinks mike is number one that's why he doesn't mention him, everyone knows he thinks mike is the goat. And he wearing his gear because he's been signed to the Jordan brand for over a decade and a half.

[@DeedyB11]

Look up his first three years in the league and his freshman year in college he played defense until the team asked him to rest on defense and focus on offense

[@luchikapone142]

You don’t have to go that far back look up the western conference finals nuggets vs lakers when he guarded Kobe

[@DeedyB11]

@IGcantstopfactsbreh does anyone one realize that you can say the same for curry but the the team put the right players around him to were his not playing consistent defense wouldn’t matter

[@piotrek3580]

Melo best pure scorer with the best offensive bag in history no cap

[@laneyj]

nah, that would be kyrie, but melo is great as well.

[@tyquanperry6153]

Melo laid back as hell 😂😂😂 ill love play for him

[@felixtorres2491]

Melo is top five, if I had 5 seconds for a bucket to save my life.

[@GRAHAMOBRIEN17]

Melo could give a masters thesis on getting buckets

[@z-mane1438]

Kyrie, kobe, mike, tmac, melo, AI, jamal Crawford, booker, tatum, harden, dame, paul George, monte ellis, gil, Baron Davis

[@calebmccrary1320]

He don’t get a lot of love but Vince Carter was a bucket in his true prime fr💯

[@ltri-fehl2955]

anywhere literally, prolly tied with Curry for the most range in shooting as well

[@ajjones5504]

Carmelo was a bucket til he got with the Lakers, and they (LA) never put him in a place where he could showcase how easily buckets come to him.

[@a.r.t93]

9:16 Iso Jooooooooooe 🔥

[@PaoloFamily-pr1mo]

Feels good listening to a 0 ring guy. We are the same.

[@tiemann55]

I will teach my son your words Melo

[@Foxx2Trill]

If the list don’t go like this it’s not respected … Kobe Jordan Harden Melo McGrady Best scorers I’ve ever seen

[@oneofone_1333]

💯

[@TheIcemanthomas]

I KNEW IT. I been saying Paulo remind me of young melo. Know I know why. He was in that gym with ‘em.

[@eugenepearson5939]

As a Knicks fan Getting Julius Randall was so perfect because he is perfect to me he's legit Carmelo Anthony that plays defense

[@remywinans1575]

Stop it Melo was a sniper from mid and long range too... Randle is not a great shooter like Melo was

[@trollpolice]

s/o Melo you heard, bringing the NY stylo to the hoops podcast game you heard

[@juannegron8053]

Melo was one of the most talented players in BBall history.....too bad he was so selfish in his career,,,,,all he thought about was HIMSELF........this podcast will never survive long.....TOO EGO-CENTRIC......his host kisses Melo's ass TOO MUCH.....

[@kyngkai3942]

Melo breaks the game down so well

[@cazzybrukshot]

A.I had no left tho but he still a pure scorer

[@albertosalgado5013]

Real hoopers know Melo a real one
