Better Player at Their Peaks: Durant vs. Giannis

[hold this L]

He's had some downs but definitely a lot of ups. More than Gian Gian.

Durant was the best player on the Nets during their playoff stints, best player on the Warriors for their run, and best player on the Thunder during their playoff runs. I dont think it's coincidence he made a couple conference finals with the Thunder, won 2 FMVP with the Warriors, and was a toe away from knocking off the eventual champ Bucks with the Nets. Everywhere he's played he's been a huge weapon.

I'm not saying he's the best playoff performer ever. There are times he gets rattled or thrown off his game, and he doesnt really give you a lot of in terms of energy and leadership. But his overall body of work compared to Giannis is greater. In my opinion.

He was not the best player for the Warriors whatsoever.
