Better player: 2009 Lebron w/ Steph Curry

[Milbuck]

2009 Lebron with Steph Curry's shooting ability, or 2014 Durant with Magic Johnson's court vision/passing ability?

I

[K Xerxes]

Lebron because of defense.

[hahaitme]

I think 2012-13 Bron with Currys shooting would be better, he didn't see to lose THAT much of a step and he added a very good post game.

That said, I still go with 09 Lebron with Steph Currys stroke.

[3ball]

Magic has a bigger passing advantage over Lebron than Curry's shooting advantage over Durant.

Plus, giving Magic's GOAT (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jte3NkMKCd0) passing ability to a guy that has a chance to be the GOAT all-time scorer is ridiculous to fathom.

It's either Lebron becomes a better shooter or Durant becomes the GOAT passer...

More like one of the greatest shooters in history, but yes, Durant with GOAT playmaking skills would be godlike.

LeBron would be more athletic, stronger, better shooting, better defence


Durant with Magics passing would only have a slight passing advantage over lebron

Every other basketball skill would favour lebron, especially since steph is a better shooter than Durant

[JohnFreeman]

Lebron, because he can play a lick of defense

[Smoke117]

I'll take Lebron/Curry... The greatest basketball physical specimen who's already been the best player in the world for years and one of the greatest players of all time with the ability to shoot like a Steph Curry? No brainer.

[DatAsh]

I'll go against the grain here and say Durant.

Maybe I'm alone here, but I see Lebron as a great shooter already, especially off the dribble. His weaknesses lie more in off ball play and over dribbling, not in his shooting. You're basically turning a great shooter into one of the best shooters ever.

Meanwhile, Durant's court vision/passing ability is nowhere near Magic's. Lebron is a better player than Durant, but Durant is definitely the one getting the better upgrade.

[Smook A.]

2014 Kevin Durant with Magic Johnson's court vision would average atleast 5 more assists, comfortably. Durant that year... as we all know... averaged 32/7.4/5.5 on 63.5 TS%. Add Magic's vision and he'd be averaging 10+ apg. His stats would look like Oscar Robertson's. Expect a triple-Double almost every single game.

'09 LeBron with Stephen Curry's shooting ability would be putting up more than 35 ppg. He was already averaging 28 ppg that year without being a great shooter. Like you said, LeBron was so physically athletic. I think he would be able to score at least 20 ppg even if he had the shooting ability of someone like Shaq. He could drive to the rim every time using his speed, quickness, and power. Add Steph's shooting ability to that LeBron and he would score 40 almost every night with ease. He'd probably be the most unstoppable scorer ever.

So if you add their abilities, Durant's stats would look something like 32 ppg, 12 apg, 7 rpg. LeBron's stats would be like 35-40 ppg/8 apg/7 rpg on a very high shooting percentage. Idk... I'll probably go with LeBron. He'd be the greatest and probably the most skilled scorer ever with Steph's shooting ability. Not to mention, he was already a great passer, and rebounder. Durant would be a tremendous player too with Magic Johnson's court vision, but at the end of day, I'd choose LeBron because of the scoring.

[J Shuttlesworth]

LeBron shooting 90% FTs and having the fastest release in the league would be deadly

[Prometheus]

Durant/Magic easily. It would be completely insane.

[Graviton]

What exactly is Durant gonna do with Magic's passing/vision? Make Perkins, Thabo and Ibaka look like superstars? Help Westbrook when he can score on his own? That combination would be useless for OKC, Brooks runs an ISO based offense. There are limited possessions in every game, the assists he would be getting would just come at the expense of others. He won't magically be pulling triple doubles out of his ass. If you said Durant with McHale's post game I would be all for Kevin.

But Lebron with Curry's shooting will just be completely unguardable, a 90% free throw shooter with that body and athletic ability would be a nightmare. Now that's a combination that would dominate no matter the team or the system. That's individual perfection, something you would create in an NBA 2K game. Clearly the better player with no weakness. Basically what Durant would be but with even better athleticism, post game and defense.

KD with kobes killer instinct >>>>

[Nash]

Lebron without Curry ability. No need to shoot more 3's and get away from what makes Lebron so good and efficient.

[Bandito]

Lebron without Curry ability. No need to shoot more 3's and get away from what makes Lebron so good and efficient but not dominant.
fixed that for you.

KD with Magic passing

KD would be deadly with passing skills like Magic, hes already unstoppable when hes scoring

[HurricaneKid]

2008-09 LeBron James was in the ballpark of the best seasons any player has ever had.

You can add the best shooting ever to that? I'd quit my life to watch and rewatch every second of that.

[Mass Debator]

Lebron with Kobe's heart and guts

[russwest0]

2008-09 LeBron James was in the ballpark of the best seasons any player has ever had.

And so was 14 KD, who arguably had a better season last year than any LeBron season.

I'd say KD with Magic's vision/passing. He's already got the elite offensive game in every other regard, he'd be the GOAT with GOAT passing skills and court vision.

32/8/10 on 50/40/90 :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:

[scm5]

Lebron is already a pretty good shooter. He connects on 40% of his 3's lately.

Durant with Magic's passing ability might just be the single greatest offensive player the game has ever seen.

[Mr Exlax]

Being that there's 2 sides to the game, I'll go with LeBron because he's better on defense.

[Megabox!]

Lebron with Jordan's heart and guts
Much better

durant scoring would go down if he averaged that many assist

[Budadiiii]

GOAT scorer mixed with GOAT passer...

Are you ****ing kidding me. :facepalm

LeBron with currys shooting is meaningless if the dude is too scared to shoot. Can't fix a faulty clutch gene.
