Oh damn :bowdown:

[IncarceratedBob]

It's evident. We are seeing a once in a decade player in Durant..

80's Magic/Bird
90's Jordan
00's Kobe
10's Durant

[RightToCensor]

Nobody is really debating about who is having the better season.......

LeBron fans lost.

I still wouldn't call him better than Lebron but he's closing the gap and playing clearly better (MVP).

Everybody, come together and say it

"we ain't worried, we ain't worried."

Maybe that will stop Durant from winning a championship with the team that drafted him :roll: :roll:

[oarabbus]

Well... Durant is the better player right now. I don't even see how you can make an argument for Lebron (RIGHT NOW). Better record, less help, singlehandedly winning games, taking out the top WC teams... Durant by a landslide. Right now.

Win a ring, then we talk.

Just acknowledging that LeBron has the more impressive resume (past). Really wasn't trying to put down KD. He is looking way more dominant, and possibly more efficient, than Lebron.

I will admit KD has made me eat my words about every bad thing I said about him

Man people are so quick to jump on someone when they get hot. Like all of a sudden KD is so awesome and there weren't a million threads in the past about how Russel is the true alpha of the team and without him...KD wouldn't be able to do anything. Now all of a sudden KD is the talk of the town but on the serious, Lebron carried the Cavaliers for years on his own and now all of a sudden everyone is turning on the guy or celebrating his "fall from the top".

Before anyone attacks me for being a salty Lebron stan, I'm a Lakers fan but I feel bad for the guy here. Lebron fans are basically feeling what a lot of Kobe fans have to deal with. Someday the Durant fans will face the same thing. I don't doubt that some people have legitimately liked KD the entire time but ISH right now is basically a bunch of people hopping on the bandwagon just to bring down another player which is sad :oldlol: .

[Kingwillball]

It is going to be SOOOOO sweet when Lebron wins his 3rd straight ring and Finals MVP and crushes the hearts of Durant fans and Especially the Lebron haters. Lebron better Rebounder,Passer,Defender while Durant the better pure scorer right now. So in 4 phases of the game Lebron better 3 to 1 and yet Durant is better ? Not Quite.

I'm always wary of these polls because the anti-Heat bandwagon far outnumbers us. They will vote against LeBron if they can. I see it all the time. Everyone made it seem like Miami were the overwhelming favorites after they beat OKC and the Spurs, but the ESPN polls had the whole country picking OKC and the Spurs (except Florida).

Why are you being silly, rip? Pretending like it's arguable whether Kobe was a top 4 player or that I'm glorifying him just for the sake of argument?

Yes, the Lakers were expected to win every single year after 2000. I wonder why that was...

Top 1 player
top 3 player
top 5 PF

Same example everytime, and I never get any answer from lebron stans.

When MJ, Magic, and Bird played in the dream team, did they average the same NBA stats? For example, if Bird average far below his NBA average, does that mean he is no longer playing at his level? That he is just another roleplayer scrub?

His production dipped but so did his efficiency. That has nothing to do with taking a smaller role. He simply wasn't as effective as he needed to be.

You should watch the 2012 and 2013 playoffs before saying anything else. Bosh and wade were playing hurt in 2012. Wade was a top 20 player, bosh wasn't.
Last year, bosh's midrange was off the entire playoffs, and that hurt his confidence and aggressiveness on offense. Wade was terrible. Neither of them were top 20 players in the 2013 playoffs.
