Durant is the best player in the game

[knightfall88]

Not even top 5 in the NBA

LBJ is the best in the game. Heat beat the defending NBA Champion on their own HC.

37-10-8 >>> Durant's ongoing stats againts the Magic.

[ThatsGame]

Durant can score/shoot, but that's about it.

[PyrrhusX]

Loool.
I think its a bit too soon for that proclaimation.
Its only been one. As said above, Lebron is the best player in the game atm.

The defending NBA champions were a mess, so it wasn't that much of an accomplishment to be honest. Plus, their second unit destroyed our 2nd/3rd unit and cut the lead down by 20 points.

No he's not.

always some kiddie popping up this statement every season..........

then what happens is that Lebron & Durant play against eachother.... where Lebron always ending up humiliating Durant and showing the Durant fans where Durants place is.... a place which is not next to him at the top....

before you decide to say that somebody who is a less of a offensive & defensive player is a better player than somebody who is a better offensive & defensive player.... how about you ignorant delusional Durant fans (not all of you are like that, but some.. like in this thread) try figure out who is better between Melo & Durant first? thats more of a fair comparasion....

jeez... i know you have to support the player you like.. but lose the god damn biasness will ya.. just a bit?

I remember the Heat getting humbled at their home court the last time they played Durant and Company. Lebron is really good, but to act like Lebron is a ton better is off base.

That wouldn't have anything to do with LeBron playing on 50 win teams, while Durant was playing on 20 win teams, would it?

Also, doesn't Melo have a winning record against LeBron? Does that mean Melo >>>> LeBron?

Durant doesn't play with Wade. That is all.

Durant is not the best player in the league. Only thing he can do is score. But he is better than LeBron.

Dwight rebounds and is a great defender. Kobe, Dwight, Wade, Dirk and Rose are better than Durant, but not by much.

Wow, so you don't think Dirk was dominant. He had a 40 pt and a 48 point game shooting 60% against your OKC Thunder. Not to mention he shot close to 60% for the entire series. But I guess it was due to all his superstar help, right? from shawn marion, tyson chandler, jj barea, and deshawn stevenson, eh?

[Celtics4ever]

These 2 have NO argument over Durant at this point

Are you serious? Rose and Kobe run their team. Durant doesn't run his team. You take Westbrook out of OKC and let Durant run the team and let's see how good he does. He will not carry that team, he is not a playmaker. Westbrook takes a lot of Pressure off of him. Rose and Kobe are clearly better than Durant.

[MASH Transit]

dirk does a shitload more than scoring

Dirk doesn't do anything Durant doesn't do. He's merely a better scorer.

Didn't Durant win the ROY award with one of the better rookie seasons since LeBron and Melo, while Westbrook was a two guard and third option for UCLA?

Wasn't Durant better in last seasons playoffs than both Kobe and Rose, while Westbrook struggled? Wasn't Durant significantly better than Kobe and Rose tonight? Again, while Westbrook struggled?

Didn't Durant post better statistics than both last season?

[brisbaneman]

Dirk doesn't do anything Durant doesn't do. He's merely a better scorer.

he's a great passer, good man defender, very good defensive rebounder and every time he runs the pick and roll it is an unofficial assist.

You seem to know very little about his game.

One game today makes Durant better than Kobe and Rose? Westbrook takes pressure off of Durant and draws A LOT of attention and gives Durant open looks. Teams double team Kobe and Rose on almost every play. Rose and Kobe are better than Durant, but not by much.

I'm not sure what my list would be but off the top of my head:

1. dirk
2. wade
3. lebron
4. howard
5. rose
6. durant

though i'd move howard out and put in durant since he played very well today. it's sort of a weak time in the nba right now as there are no legitimately dominant/great 4 or 5s right now outside of dirk, so theres a lot of perimeter players with a lot of flaws at the top of the league by default

Durant has been better than Rose every year they've both been in the NBA. He's also been better in the playoffs. Watch more games.


Westbrook takes pressure off of Durant and draws A LOT of attention and gives Durant open looks.

Kobe has Pau and Bynum. Rose had the number one defensive and rebounding team in the league last season. Takes pressure off those respective players, huh?


Teams double team Kobe and Rose on almost every play.

Durant gets doubled off the ball.

Being a better basketball player. Which includes off ball movement, defense(both man and help), transition offense, etc.


In addition, Durant is better than Melo at what Melo does best. And before I'm bombarded with some garbage about how "pretty" Melo's offensive game is; Durant averages more points on superior efficiency, and has done so for three straight seasons. He's also better in the playoffs.

A 51 point game from someone who we already know is the best scorer in the game does not push this player into the best player in the game throne.

Kobe is top 10 all-time. Nobody in the NBA is passing him anytime soon, especially not Lebron.

[Fudge]

I bet he's got Lebron's place all google-mapped from the basement of his parents' house:lol
Wouldn't be surprised if he did. :oldlol: Same goes for Retardo23. Wonder why LeBron has a shitload of foreign followers. :confusedshrug: :oldlol:

[ThatsGame]

There are some really stupid people on here. One game where Durant scores over 50 and suddenly he is the best player in the game? That the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Not only has LeBron had SEVERAL 50+ games, he actually can do other things besides score.

What's dumb is you thinking this thread was posted tonight.

[RaininTwos]

Not Dirk. Not anymore.

Still this.

Hey retard, this thread was posted before tonight.

And you're clearly on top of that list.

Shit, LeBron score 56 had 10 rebounds and 5 assists in his SECOND YEAR

[Lebron23]

Kobe is top 10 all-time. Nobody in the NBA is passing him anytime soon, especially not Lebron.


Let's see in the playoffs this year. Kobe is 6 1/2 years older than LeBron. Kobe is a 16th year NBA veteran while LeBron is a 9th year NBA veteran. The Black Mamba was in his early 30's when he won his first NBA Finals MVP.


Wouldn't be surprised if he did. :oldlol: Same goes for LeBron23. Wonder why LeBron has a shitload of foreign followers. :confusedshrug: :oldlol:

LeBron is a very entertaining player. He's not a rapist. He doesn't have any criminal records unlike the other NBA Superstar.

[ThatsGame]

And you're clearly on top of that list.

Riiiight. What a great comeback retard.

[Cangri]

Durant's the best offensive player in the game, Lebron is better all around.

No Durant isn't. He just isn't. It only appears that way because thats all he can ****ing do is score.

LeBron's ORtg : 119
Durant's ORTg : 112

[Fudge]

Ohh the insecure young minds of LeBron`s following. :oldlol: Never gets old.

*sigh* You can't be any older than 13.

[Kingwillball]

This thread is silly, Lebron WIthout a Doubt is clearly the best most COMPLETE player in the NBA.

They'll figure it out eventually...

maybe

Just because he knows how to snatch rebounds out of his bigs hands, and is good at throwing alley-oops to Wade and kicking out to open shooters who make their shots at a very high rate?

Wow, so complete that he must have won a bunch of rings already.

In b4 excuses, along with a list of reasons as to why they're not actually excuses.

We all know guys like Tony Parker and Billups were way more complete than Elgin Baylor/LeBron/Stockton/Malone, right?

:roll: @ the bolded. And you try to play it off like you're a knowledgeable basketball fan. On a scale of 1-10, how depressed are you?

[Fudge]

Show some positivity to the fanboys though. Apparently they like to fantasize and consider LeBron a soon-to-be NBA champ after this years playoffs. We should loosen up a bit. :oldlol:

No, they weren't. They were/are good point guards and scorers who didn't try to pad their stats in every single category to make it look like they played well.

They played their roles perfectly, and won the FMVP award. What does that have to do with Malone and Stockton? They ran into the GOAT, that's what happened to them. What's Lebron's excuse for having lost three years in a row with the HCA? On a scale of 1 to Snooki, how dumb are you?

You're lucky I didn't get to read your original post before you edited it. God knows what BS you had written that had to be deleted so quickly:lol

[Bigsmoke]

nah.

maybe in 5 years.

I made a point about something I thought you said and edited it after I realized I had misread your post.

I'd love to carry this conversation on, but this is a Durant thread and I only have so much patience for trolls.

[MASH Transit]

Durant's ORTg : 112

Yep, all Durant can do is score.

Double Doubles:

LeBron - 13
Durant - 12

Keep in mind the Heat have played more games than OKC. Moreover, Durant has better synergy defensive statistics than LeBron. Does that mean he's a better defender? No, but it debunks the notion that Durant is one dimensional.

Epic game today. Shows how unstoppable he can be when in the zone. Props to Russ too. He was huge.

P.s. the banter between fans on this thread is sad. Very sad.

[#1SportsFan86]

I can't even hate...:bowdown:

[SpaceJammeR]

durant is a beast. he can score in many different ways.

[NumberSix]

I don't really understand why people are pushing KD as the "best player in the game" when he clearly isn't. He's certainly in the top 5 range, but come on. There's not much of any reason to think he's the single best player in the NBA

[Jasi]

As long as people care so much about stats, they won't be able to realise the actual quality of players.

Lol at everyone bringing up made up formulas in order to pretend player A is better than player B.
Lol at people saying LeBron is the GOAT because he's at the top of an all-time PER ranking.
Lol at people saying Durant is the best in the game beacuse his TS% or whatever is the highest.

Reading this forum is making me hate stats.

[DCL]

you can't stop a 6'10" kobe with 7'5" wingspan.

[zizozain]

Since when?
Since last night? :confusedshrug:
Since last Finals? :confusedshrug:
Since Gloria's series? :confusedshrug:

He is definitely up there, but behind Lebron.... i think im preparing to give him the #2 best, but i just want to see how he does in the playoffs first where it all matters... hell if he plays godlike there, drops crazy numbers, killing Kobe first and then killing Lebron/Heat in Finals... i can give him #1.... hardly unlikely that will happen tho...

If he manages to do that in his 3rd postseason run he is already top 5 all time :lol
