Max Kellerman: Lebron is a better offensive player than Kevin Durant

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

LeBron is the total package on offense, only player that is in his league is James Harden

Not a homer. Not a Warriors fan. KD's game unlocks the floor to allow him better and cleaner finishes at the rim because he's so lethal at every scoring aspect of the game. You'd live with LeBron taking jumpshots, as seen in previous finals. KD will light you up if you do that.

.

durant isn't a better finisher at the rim simply because his volume is way lower while still shooting a lower%. last season

LeBron is capable of putting up big numbers like KD, but he's just not as pure with it, he doesn't have that natural scorer's touch on his jumpshot, and that's why KD's the better scorer.

I love how you say that LeBron can put up big numbers "like" KD, as if LeBron doesn't do that 5x as often as KD does.

If you listed the 25 greatest playoff performances by KD or LeBron, LeBron would have about 20 of them and KD would have maybe 5 if even that.

There's no way the nikkas who are saying he's a better offensive player than Durant watched any of his Spurs finals performances. They dared this dude to shoot.

Are you talking about the Spurs finals performance where LeBron averaged 25-11-7 on 45/35/80 splits and put up 32-10-11 and 37-12-7 with huge clutch shots in the final two games on the way to winning a title?

KD wasn't even there because a far inferior Grizzlies team had held him to 29-10-7 on 42% shooting in an easy 5-game series.



Or are you talking about the Spurs finals performance where LeBron averaged 28-8-4 on 57/52/79 shooting?

KD, again, wasn't there because that same Spurs team held him to 26-8-3 on 48/33/76 shooting.



Not exactly a great way to prove LeBron's inferiority on offense, if he got a Finals MVP behind the strength of his offense in one series while putting up incredibly efficient numbers in the second, and KD couldn't do nearly as much either time.

LeBron stans have mastered the art (I should I say, gestural abstraction) of citing stats with no context.

Har_en doesn’t belong anywhere near that category until he designs an offensive game that doesn’t rely on flopping for cheap free throws. Every postseason that shyt backfires

I don't think anyone took his comment seriously, otherwise I'd unleash my receipts of Harden choking on every postseason he's ever touched. For the exact reason you mentioned.

A few months back I had to do the same thing to someone

 

[Supa]

the question is scoring not shooting



not true. see post

No more Bron Ball.....LeBron might finally be changing his style of play







.....and we saw what happened with pre-warriors, durant

Is Kevin Durant a choker?

 

[Cladyclad]

When KD played iso ball against Hou his efficiency took a huge dip


Lebron whole game is iso ball and his efficiency = Durant’s in a system where he can legit only can shoot good shots within the offense

It’s just like when Bron was in Mia. It’s a luxury to be able to lay in the cut

 

[ELESDEE616]

Why do LeBron haters try to when they know we @IllmaticDelta and @Rhakim got them receipts






They must like the abuse

 

[Lord Beasley]

[CHERUB]

where did this narrative start that Lebron cant play off the ball?

After all these years this nikka is still arguing with memes like he's in middle school. The mentality of a LeBron stan.
