Kd at 23>>kobe at 21-26

[Bilz]

Durant has a total of 5 assits and 17 rebounds in the first 3 games of the finals....

And this dude is better than a 23 year old Kobe?

Those aren't his only stats. He's also averaging 31ppg on 57% shooting.

Those aren't his only stats. He's also averaging 31ppg on 57% shooting.

For better or worse, no way could Kobe ever avg only 31ppg shooting that well. My nikka Kob would be at 40ppg on 49% shooting.

Durant proved a few things with his recent performances..

1. He not a better scorer than Kobe. Lacks killer instinct in the clutch, at least on the Finals stage. Doesnt even demand ball in the clutch.

2. He not a better passer than Kobe, if anythings thats a weakness to his game at this point, cant create for no one else.

3. He not a better rebounder than Kobe. You a 6'10 forward and have performances of '2' and '3' rebounds?....has been out-rebounded this series by Westbrook, too weak to box out, etc...

 

[William Bassington]

Durant not strong enough to secure rebounds like this

It was all good just a week ago.

also through stat observation Ive discovered than Durant has averaged 1 more rebound per game than LeBron throughout the season....since yall claim context doesnt matter, and mubers are end be all...I DARE one you muthafukkas to say Durant is a better rebounder than LeBron

KD is a great player but he didn't become a good defender until he was 27

Def is the diff...KD can shoot his a$$ off...but Kobe's footwork and array of moves on top of the defense is the difference

Kobe at 49% shooting

YOUNG PAT IS KNOWN FOR DIGGING IN THE CRATES..IT USED TO BE A STAPLE OF HIS AT DUBCC

 

[BigTyme Records]

Shid maybe so, KD currently is better than Kobe ever was tho no doubt

 

[ManBearPig]

KD > Kobe

But Durant is more efficient, a bigger mismatch nightmare, has more range, and a better shooter.

How do Kobe's array of moves matter when Durant can literally shoot right over most defenders and do it more efficiently than Kobe

nikkas act like Durant ain't an elite shot creator off the dribble either.

 

[Poitier]

Kobe
-significantly better ISO scorer
-much better passer
-much better inside/out playmaker

KD has the nod as an off ball scorer which skews efficiency and overall defender but not enough to close the gap.
