Is LeBron James' title of scoring champion questionable?!

"Some people are questioning the legitimacy of the title of scoring champion, and the reason is that the current style of the NBA makes it easier to rack up points compared to the NBA in the past. Could LeBron James become a ""point-chasing dog""?!

In the game between the Pistons and the Bucks, despite the Pistons eventually scoring 130 points, they still lost to the Bucks, who scored 150 points. This game has once again sparked dissatisfaction among fans with the current state of NBA games, namely that the intensity of today's NBA games is really low. In this era of small-ball dominance, physicality is no longer one of the main criteria for determining the strength of a team. Many teams choose to allocate more resources to offense, resulting in more three-pointers per game and less physical battles in the paint.

For fans who enjoy watching physical play, this is undoubtedly a big blow. Moreover, the referees' judgment standards have also contributed to this trend. The current foul-calling standards actually favor offensive players more. Many physical contacts that would not have been called fouls in the past are now being whistled. This makes defensive players hesitant to challenge, and as a result, all teams tend to focus more on offense and less on defense and physicality.

This is why the scores in today's games are so high. Not only in the Pistons vs. Bucks game but also throughout the NBA's schedule that day, the Rockets defeated the Timberwolves 119-114, with both teams nearing 120 points, the Trail Blazers beat the Spurs 147-127, almost replicating the Magic's game, and the Kings defeated the Grizzlies, also scoring a whopping 133 points. In this overall environment, LeBron James' scoring inevitably raises questions about whether it's just stat-padding or if it truly holds the same value as past scoring champions. The key concern revolves around the lackluster defense in today's NBA and whether a scoring title in such a context holds as much weight as those achieved by legends like Jabbar."

Stat-padding is definitely something every team does.

The current NBA doesn't emphasize defense; everyone wants to shoot three-pointers like Curry, and the scores are getting more and more outrageous.

I love watching LeBron James' dunks the most.

LeBron James has the skills, is there still any doubt about that?

I can understand that every fan has different preferences. If one leans towards a singular focus on offense, it really can detract from the overall excitement of the game.

I do believe that the defense can win NBA title, not offense.
