Throw in the fact that the No. 3 scorer in the league last year, Carmelo Anthony, just got a veritable chucker in Al Harrington as a new teammate this summer, and you realize that three of Durant's four toughest competitors should score less this season.
Then, there's Kobe. Again, you guys can count Kobe out of this if you want to. If he's smart, he'll realize he's got Pau Gasol, Andrew Bynum and a whole bunch of role players to pour in the points; the Lakers don't need him to drop 30 a night. But if that switch goes off in Kobe's head, and he dedicates himself to winning this year's scoring title, Durant may stand no chance against the Black Mamba.
