KD vs LeBron-Who is a Better Scorer?

LeBron James and Kevin Durant. They can both score,
and everyone knows it.
Kevin Durant vs LeBron James. Who could wish for a better match up? Two freakishly talented forwards meet in the NBA Finals to clash. I sure loved watching them play against each other. But who is a more capable scorer?  It would probably be pretty easy to compare them, since they play the same position, they are both about the same height, and they are both amazingly athletic. They are possibly (and probably) the two best players in the NBA (you have to face the facts, Lakers fans, Kobe isn't young anymore). So lets figure out who is a better scorer.
Let's compare the average they score each game, for their careers (counting the playoffs). That's 27.2 points for KD and 28.9 for LeBron. However, Durant has been the scoring champion for three years in a row, and LeBron has only accomplished that once. And in the past three years, LeBron averaged 27.8 points a game and Durant averaged 28.6. LeBron, who has Dwayne Wade, Chris Bosh, and now Ray Allen on the Heat, might not have as many opportunities to score as Kevin Durant, who pretty much only has Russell Westbrook to worry about.
Edge: Durant
