If you were starting an NBA team, who would you rather build around - Durant or Bron?

[BLAZO da GAWD]

Lebron's all star teammates >>>> durant's allstar teammate & 6th man

So it's a 3v3 game.

 

[Long Live The Kane]

LeBron will be using the team argument for the rest of his career

It borders on insanity that we're still hearing it 2 years after he ran away from a perennial 60 win team to go join a fukking SUPERTEAM in MIA....it's like goddamn, does the nikka have to play on the Dream Team before his team is "good enough"

Lebron at 22 reached the finals too.

Lebron>>>>>>> Durant. The only thing Durant does better is shooting the ball.

Especially in the 4th quarter

 

[nomoreneveragain]

KD even took less than the max

Durant knows how to play off the ball, he's like a WR finding pockets against a zone d. He puts himself in places to succeed. The same way Mike and Kobe do.

Lebron only knows how to play like a fullback at one speed.

Durant is a much better closer I'll say that much

pretty much.

 

[ghostwriterx]

Uh, isn't that LeBron's fault? I mean he could have picked the Bulls or Knicks, teams that had caproom and fully fleshed out rosters.


Can't use that "Team" argument for him anymore, he made this bed.

Knicks?

 

[Rekkapryde]

Knicks?

 

[HacksawJimThuggin]

Kevin Durant's TEAM>>> Lebron James' TEAM

this... Westbrook and Harden hit HUGE shots all series in the final moments of close games, when the hell has someone other than Wade hit a dagger for Miami this post season?

It's beyond insanity, the Cavs 60 win team wasn't good enough and was trash according to most and now the Heat may not be good enough either.

Knicks?

Yes, they had room to sign two max players, and had a gang of young players that could have been flipped for another star, or even more depth.


As for LeBron vs Durant, after what I've seen from LeBron the last 3 years in the playoffs, I'd take Durant over him. He's probably more talented than Durant, but something is wrong with the wiring upstairs.

Lebron got to choose his team, so that's twice the ether.

KD

 

[Scustin Trillberlake]

So now Durant is better than Lebron?





And the heat team isn't an excuse. Bosh is injured, their role players aren't that good, they have no bench/rotation and Mike Miller is playing like shyt. OKC has a much better bench.

Durant did not take less than the max, Lebron did. Another thing Durant was a restricted free agent just like Lebron was when his rookie deal expired, he couldn't leave if he wanted to.

Let's not act like Lebron didn't have amazing 4th quarters in his '07 playoff run and go to the finals.

Let's wait and see if Durant can win a title.

This is coming from a fellow longhorn who has no reason to hate on KD.
