I know you're ranting and raving without any clear idea of where you're going, but you might want to check your facts. LeBron has the better FG% (53.1% to 49.6%) and gets to the line more (8.1 FT a game to 7.6 FT a game). Durant only averaged 0.8 PPG more than LeBron this season and it was largely because Durant averaged one more shot a game.
Seems like a pretty obvious wash to me. In any case, the point was that scoring was only one aspect of basketball. LeBron is quite clearly better at every other aspect than Durant (and Kobe for that matter too). He's the better basketball player, he's the best player in the league.
