i know KD cant bench 185 and he gets pushed around, but KG was soooo skinny and lebron was jus as skinny, and now look at those two, especilly lebron...he's built like a tank...just give it some time and KD will have some muscle on him.


btw, i cant believe i'm defending him, lol.

Lebron was the most built NBA player at his position I had ever seen. Now Kobe and TMac were skinny.

Lebron was bigger than Durant when he was 13.

And KG was thin, but still strong. Plenty of people have been skinny, but not all of them haven't been able to bench 185 right before they plan to play a physical game with men that can bench SOOO much more.

I remember Livingston struggled with strength before coming in, and being small and brittle sure hasn't helped him. Now Im a Livingston lover as I think he's hella skilled, but if he doesn't find a way to get stronger at the pg position he'll always have a problem. Durant is supposed to be a sf or maybe pf, he's got A LOT of work to do

I don't know if Livingston's problem is really his strength because he is quick. I think his problem will be to stop getting knee injuries.

I wouldn't worry about his strength. He's a good player and the trainers will work with him on his conditioning. By this time next year, he'll be benching over 200 pounds.

Most rookies get bigger and more built over the summer before their first season. T-mac was skinny as hell when he entered the league. Just give Durant some time.

In other news if you give Durant time he'll be better in 3yrs than he is now. :rolleyes:

i know people will say i'm talking out of my ass here, but durant is nowhere NEAR as athletic as T-mac when he entered the league.

Bron was 240 pounds when he entered the draft. He was built like a tank before he even set foot on a NBA court. James has been huge for a long time now. He was neothing like Durant when entering the league.

247 to be exact, but yea those LeBron pics at latest are as a sophomore because of the uniforms.

And even if he never touches a weight in his life, Durant will fill out because he's only 19.

Most players in the NBA are genetic freaks...but Lebron is a freak even compared to other players in the league. Durant shouldn't even be mentioned in the same sentence as Lebron when it comes to build....Durant will obviously bulk up and be a good player in the league, but he will never be as big as Lebron...he probably isn't even genetically capable of reaching that size..like mentioned earlier, Lebron was equal to Durant when he was in Jr. High still...

Lebron James is a Freak of an Athlete and Durant will be lucky if he will become 1/2 of Lebron James. Durant is a better perimeter shooter than Lebron James but Durant will be going againts player who is much beffier than him in the NBA. Durant needs to bulk up to 240 pounds so that he will not have problem going againts muscle bound NBA players who has the same position in the NBA.

In 4 years....Durant will be better than LeBron James. He's more offensively skilled and plays better defense at the same age. Book it.

Greg Monroe ( no.1 pick in the 2009 NBA Draft) and Michael Beasley ( no.1 pikc in the 2008 NBA Draft) will be better than Kevin Durant in less than 2 years. Book It.

:rollingeyes: When Durant gets into the NBA he's gonna be a lazy defender much like the vast majority of good scorers in the NBA. You're correct about the more offensive skills, but I doubt he'll ever be strong enough to be truly great at anything but shooting.
