NBA's Big 4 (Discussion): Giannis-Lebron-Kawhi-Durant

[Primetime]

This season:

• Blue is first place
• Orange is 2nd place
• Red is third place

Kevin Durant's 2019 Season:

Spoiler

26.0 PPG
6.4 RPG
5.9 APG
0.7 SPG
1.1 BPG
88.5 FT%
52.1 FG%
35.3 3PT%

Among the big 4, last year's (GSW) KD would've been

• 3rd in scoring
• 4th in rebounds
• 2nd in assists
• 4th in steals
• 1st in blocks
• 2nd in freethrow %
• 2nd in field goal %
• 2nd in 3pt shooting %

1. We know Giannis is the regular season MVP (word to @Morethan1) but if everyone is healthy, is he the best player out of the big 4? Rank em.
2. How much would you factor their teammates, like KD having all that space to operate with GSW (@Dr. Narcisse )? Put another way, since Giannis probably has the worst team, he may have to work a bit harder come playoff time... but then again, not having a great jump shot also causes you to work harder too, and that's your own fault

And yes, obviously Playoff Lebron and Boardman are gonna have a spike up in scoring come playoff time, just like KD did last year (26ppg to 32ppg), so there's that as well.

Healthy or not Kd is tied for 1st at worst with Kawhi

Say what you will about the other 3 but Giannis has no place in this discussion

You should know why

I promise you, I was never the biggest Lebron fan, but I give that niqqa his fukkin due. Yall still doubt Lebron? A healthy one?? When was he surpassed? By whom? Matter of fact.

I'm actually pissed we're not going to get a playoff this year. That West was just gearing up to be great to watch. Next season Bron gona be damn near 36? Smh. The world is gona act like he's washed if he gets beaten but there's no way he should even be there at his age.

Covid smfh

If I was building a franchise around one it would be Giannis.

In terms of pure skills I got KD.

If I needed to win a championship this season I'd probably pick LeBron.

If all healthy I'm going with KD because he will dominate his matchup.

Bb-but his stats tho

I like KD waaaaaaaay better, but this niqqa can’t even lead his own team to a chip. So how can he surpass Bron? Never can surpass Lebron, only a better scorer.

What would happen if instead of KD, Golden State replaced Harrison Barnes with current Kawhi, Lebron, or Giannis?

Should a healthy KD and Kyrie make it out of the East next year?

Bron did it
Kawhi did it
So easy work for KD + Bron's old sidekick?

 

[Loose]

Right now I'm taking giannis imagine if he had a great roster

Welllllllll

KD became a better facilitator
KD became a better defender
KD tightened up his shot selection

KD became a better player...imagine that!

Klay & Steph shyt the bed two years in a row IN Cleveland

KD was the guy to stop
Bron could not do that

KD shot him in the eye the first time
Bron didn’t even bother fighting over the screen the 2nd time

I’m sayin

You seen pre-GSW KD play more than any of us, my G.

Are we overating KD because he won with Steph and Klay as his sidekicks... while underating Giannis because he can't beat the 1996 Bulls with Bledsoe and Middleton as his #2 and #3?

What would Giannis do with a great roster with 2 prime superstar shooters who can each score 30 in a given quarter.
