Is defense the biggest skill-gap between Durant and Larry Bird

[010101]

Please tell us more. Since you are close to KD and have a PhD in psychology.


KD is a superior athlete & scorer id take him 10 Times outta 10 over Bird

cool*

Larry Bird was a great help and team defense player...but Kevin Durant the last two years has been an amazing rim protector and one on one defender...but the gap isn't that wide if we talking about career

Larry Bird was a better rebounder and passer and conductor of the offense than KD...and the gap is pretty wide....

I wouldn't want KD trying to run my offense...we seen what that look like...

 

[Skull Duggery]

aint no wrong answer. Bird was cold w/it

 

[THE MACHINE]

So the Coli had Bron neck and neck with Bird just last summer but now Durant has far surpassed Bird

for the record I take both over Bird

Spoiler

might as well get this thread poppin

ill take the player who doesnt make fake twitter accounts defending himself to ppl that dont matter.

like what kinda p*ssy ass nikka does shyt like that? especially when you can literally drown yourself in millions

 

[CarbonBraddock]

what makes durant the better scorer

 

[feelosofer]

Yes but Bird is a better facilitator than Durant. The gap between them defensively isn't super wide, the biggest gap may be in athleticism, though give Bird credit, he put up crazy numbers with a bad back.

 

[Shogun]

Dont think you could argue against Bird being the better passer.
Size alone might give KD the nod on defense, but then again Bird played when it was brutal in the paint. Can't imagine KD's thin ass would be down there blocking dudes as much as he is now.

Are we ever gonna stop comparing players who didn’t play at the same times.. shyt is literally all opinion and no fact, but yet ppl will act like what they say is truth

 

[Raw Lyrics]

I'd build a team around Larry Legend, if simply for the fact he won't run and join the Lakers if things got rough.

The NBA at the highest levels is 90% mental, remember that.


Durant got Curry under his Armor, so he got that courage now.
