Durant the best in the game now

[delta]

his level of play has essentially stayed the same of course hes scoring slightly more with the better team around him so now that makes him better than Lebron? Why not before in OKC when he was carrying a much weaker team

you're right but you have to understand, most people don't watch the games. all they do is look at who won and the boxscore.


That's why you got so many people talking about "rings is all that matter"/ they dont actually want to watch any games. they just wanna talk shyt about vets Stockton, Malone, Barkley like they dominate the league. it doesn't make any sense at all.


you ever hear an anaylst talk a bout a player "now he knows how to win" when the player is averaging the exact same stats as when he was losing vs when he is winning? Nothing changed but the narrative

Durant finally has a better team then bron
Lebron hasn't had a better skilled and talented team then Durant for the past 10 years
Kd finally joins a good team and he can finally get he one on one space and roam and play elite defense like bron has been doing the past seven years

It would have been the same if he went to the spurs I don't know why people ignore this

"Finally joins a good team"?????

Lord have mercy. And I thought da Steph Curry d-riding was atrocious

 

[KOBE]

I've been saying he's better than LeBron well before Pierce even thought of the concept. @Versa is the only other dude who was calling Durant better. Ahead of the curve again.

Oh really?


Because I said this in December 2013:

Kevin Durant is the best player in the NBA imo

what makes him better than bron and why would you take him over bron.

I just like his offensive skill and believe he's more offensively polished than LeBron James is. There's no weakness in Durant's offense and he does everything efficient and effortlessly. His passing ability is severely underrated (5+ apg per game) and he's money from anywhere on the court. He cannot be left unguarded.

Defensively, his man to man to defense is only average, but he's a great rebounder and gets his hands on the ball ( 1.4 steals/.7 blocks a game) fairly well. He plays good "team defense" and hasn't been killed on defense since I don't know when.

My personal opinion is that Kevin Durant is the most skilled player currently in the NBA so I believe he's the best

So it looks like I was already ahead of the curve you finally got to




Especially when posts like this are all in that thread telling me I was wrong:

Can we just appreciate Durant's performance without saying dumb shyt like he's better than Bron?

This nikka OldNewzzTobe back at it

Well then, please stop sharing your opinions. It will be less embarrassing that way.

You're a moron. He's a more polished shooter than Lebron.

Lebron is literally on a different tier when it comes to playmaking, vision, passing, defense, and he's just as effective at scoring as Lebron because Lebron is GOAT-tier at finishing.

Lebron is a bigger offensive threat due to passing, playmaking, getting inside, and better finishing. What you're arguing is as stupid as arguing Allen Iverson is better than Magic Johnson. That's the difference in playmaking ability.

More like comparing Larry Bird vs Magic Johnson.....and when did I compare anything?

I'm giving a breakdown of Durants game and only a moron would believe LeBron and Kevin Durant are equals when it comes to offensive skill just like only a fool would believe they are equal defensively.

However, Durant can mask his average man to man defense behind his defensive teammates and it allows him to play good team defense, get steals, and make a few off the ball blocks as well. Hes far from a liability on defense but he's not Kawhi Leonard on defense either.

Offensively he's cannot be left alone bc EVERY shot for him is a good shot. Hes one of the greatest wing shooters ever and can put the ball on the floor to create for himself and others....as well as he can play OFF THE BALL. LeBron is not a great spot up shooter and is not great without the ball either. He's very ball dominant while Durant can score however you need him too. Spot up, off screen, off dribble, in the post, on a fast break, alley oop, whatever.

LeBrons a better passer and has great vision, but Durant can pass as well (not to LeBrons degree) and has better handles

Lebron is a better offensive player than Durant. Offense isn't just shooting. Lebron is a far better passer, playmaker, and he's a great shooter. Again, AI is a better scorer than Magic but who has the bigger offensive impact.

Lebron is definitely a good catch and shooter plus he's much harder to guard in a team sense because he opens up the lanes and can take advantage of them due to his superior court vision. Lebron is literally shooting 48% from 3 right now on 3 attempts a game. He's not a bad shooter and he abuses teams that play off him. Lebron is also a far better finisher inside, has a more dangerous post game due to his passing, etc,

KD is not a better ball handler than Lebron unless you just mean dribble moves. Lebron is way better at protecting the ball with his body, far less turnover prone, etc. Handles barely even matter because Lebron gets into the lane at while Durant is far easier to knock out of his spot or knock off course.

Lebron scores a couple less points on similar efficiency (Whole averaging less FTA and being an average FT shooter) but is better in EVERY OTHER ASPECT OF BASKETBALL WHILE BEING ABLE TO BE A LOCKDOWN DEFENDER, GOAT-TIER NON-PG PASSER, AND AN ELITE SCORER HIMSELF.

Your opinion is wrong

Funny how all the LeBron bandwagon are mad that someone actually believes there are more skilled players than their idol


Kevin Durant

We see you okay. Relax nikka.

Appreciating Kevin Durant for having the best skills makes LeBon stans mad?



Too bad

I told all you nikkas this 4 fukking years ago....now, you about to kiss the ring bytches

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

is he averaging a triple double

SMFH.

Check date and thread

Nah. My bad. I do remember the shyt you said. Rep when they come back.

 

[I AM WARHOL]

KD has just been in the west with bad coaching and unfortunate injuries. LeBron's been on stacked teams in the east while being relatively healthy. KD has been right there with LeBron for years and imo better due to his offensive genius and defensive versatility. Unlike when the say LeBron can guard 1-5, KD can actually guard 1-5

 

[Versa]

Durant was better than LeBron last season too. Folks was just late.

Now he has the team and platform to showcase this fact to the world.

 

[Loose]

Durant finally has a better team then bron
Lebron hasn't had a better skilled and talented team then Durant for the past 10 years
Kd finally joins a good team and he can finally get he one on one space and roam and play elite defense like bron has been doing the past seven years

It would have been the same if he went to the spurs I don't know why people ignore this

he had a better team then lebron last year

Especially when posts like this are all in that thread telling me I was wrong:

Durant wasn't definitively better than LeBron in December 2013 - he did however have an argument at the end of that season, but nah you were wrong. Nevermind the fact that you've been calling LeBron the best player since then:

LeBron James is the best player in the NBA...fukk Steph Curry

LeBron cool


He's a great player, and imo the GOAT SF and best player in the NBA currently......but my favorite #Swagaliers player is and will always remain Kyrie Irving

Is it Oochie Wally Wally or is it One Mic?

 

[9piece]

he had a better team then lebron last year

What a load of shyt. Lmao

Currently nikka. He was. And dont dismiss YOUR post saying he wasnt better than Bron


Anyways;

My favorite player after Kobe


Let's get it Durantulas. He bout to get that MVP this season

You been riding with Tim Duncan and aint never been a Spurs fan


I'm riding with Durantula and I'm #LWO


Best of Both Worlds

I havent given up on Kobe.....where do you see where I've posted that?

I know Florida has a poor Public School Education system, but the 1st sentence in this thread, I said that Durant is my 2nd favorite player after Kobe

That's what I'm saying breh....plus his giving you 1.5 steals and 1 block per game as well


I'm supposed to NOT acknowledge that and act like LeBron is the run away MVP


When I seen Hakeem slowing down and a young Kobe rising, I became more and more of a Kobe fan. Same thing is happening here. Kobe is slowing down and young Durantula is completely dominating in all facets of the game this season.

I'm becoming more and more of a Durantula............and I dont feel bad about it


It aint like I said I'm rooting for the fukking Thunder. I'm a #LWO head who likes watching Durant

Its the truth

Since when are people not allowed to like other players in tge NBA?


Or does that go for only #LWO members as usual

My 2nd favorite player after Kobe is Durant. fukk yall if you don't like it

Always rep & the hometown team and the people who choose to be #1 fans of em...they represent the city

Durantula is a helluva player...I couldn't have chosen a better player to stan, in the absence of Kobe, than the best all-around offensive player in the L

Adrien Broner. There's nothing more that needs to be said. I've been following him before LeBron left for Miami....he's from here & he's the youngest Boxer to ever win 4 Championships across 4:Divisions in the 100+ history of the sport

The Lakers are my favorite team

^^^ This season. i dont wanna make all these posts, but ask yourself if I would stan someone I didn't think was the best


LeBron is still great, but nah, he aint more skilled than KD
