LeBron is a better passer, rebounder, drives better, has a better basketball IQ, directs the team defense better, defends guards better, and is a better team leader, coach, and GM.
Durant shoots better and protects the rim more consistently.
Which is why he's finished behind LeBron in MVP voting in 10 of 11 seasons since he entered the league, never once got further in the playoffs than LeBron since he entered the league until he joined the 73-win Warriors, and was 4-17 against Lebron head-to-head. Every single time LeBron and Durant played the same opponent in the playoffs, Durant's team lost while LeBron's won or at least took more games off of them.

KD was good in the first three games and then sucked in games 4-6 when the going got tough. He shot 9-24, 8-22, and 6-17, wasn't even setting up guys or anything. When KD's shot isn't falling his only refuge is to flop for fouls, he doesn't have other ways to help his team win.
If CP3 hadn't gone out and Steph/Klay hadn't gone off for 14 threes and 64 points in Game 6, Durant's performance in the WCF would have gone down as one of the most epic choke jobs of all time.
Worst NBA officiated game ive ever seen. Worse than 02 kingsI came to post this.
LeBron was killing Durant's defense in multiple ways. Durant had trouble scoring on him in any way other than when his three-shot was on.
Those Game 1 calls though.

Lebron's game 1 was better than anything the servant has accomplished in life. If he was bussin anything since '12 he would have never become a disciple of the agenda.
Not just that, we'd be looking at 5-6 teams with legit shots to win it all. They game was legit becoming more balanced then it's ever beenSmh at the years of epic Thunder-Warriors battles we were robbed of because this one dude decided to be a fakkit.
LeBron's Game 1 was better than ANY playoff game KD has ever played, shut your mouth.
If we listed the top 25 playoff games between them, LeBron would have 23 of those games and KD would have maybe 2.
Since 2012? Since you can't read much, I'll just give the results of a single GM question, the most important one:
"If you were starting a franchise today and could sign any player, who would it be?"
2018-19 LeBron 1st, Durant 2nd
2017-18 LeBron 3rd, Durant 5th
2016-17 Durant 2nd, LeBron 3rd
2015-16 LeBron and Durant tied for 2nd
2014-15 Lebron 1st, Durant 2nd
2013-14 Lebron 1st, Durant 2nd
2012-13 Lebron 1st, Durant 2nd
LeBron's a good 4 years older than Durant and with far more mileage, and GM's would STILL rather have LeBron on their team than Durant.
I think Bogdanovic could probably hold KD to something less than 35-10-8 on 55/35/82 shooting splits.
Since Durant joined the Warriors, he's played against Bogdanovic three times. Shot 10-23, 8-23, and 0-1 (injured after 1 minute) in those three games.
You're talking trash about LeBron having an all-time series against a guy that Durant has shot 18-47 on in the last two years.

KD is the Gawd but even KD would be ranking Lebron over him judging by how highly he personally thinks of him and whats hes said and witness in their careers.
