Is Kevin Durant above Tracy McGrady in the all-time list?

[StateOfMind12]

I am starting to think Durant has already surpassed McGrady even though that is not saying much.

Durant

NBA Rookie of the Year (2008)
2× NBA All-Star (2010–2011)
2× NBA scoring champion (2010–2011)
2× All-NBA First Team (2010–2011)
NBA All-Rookie First Team (2008)

Mcgrady

NBA Most Improved Player (2001)
7× NBA All-Star (2001–2007)
2× NBA Scoring Champion(2003–2004)
2× All-NBA First Team (2002–2003)
3× All-NBA Second Team (2001, 2004, 2007)
2× All-NBA Third Team (2005, 2008)

Then factor in how much more successful Durant was in the post-season and I don't think it is close. Durant's 2011 playoff run was a better playoff run than Tmac ever had.

Yes

Not yet, but he certainly will be in a couple of years.'

And if he is, it certainly isn't "not even close".

When you factor in Durant's playoff success, yet which is sad because McGrady was in the league for 14 years

[TMAC-RAPTORS]

As in success, then sure because he has a better team to go further in the playoffs. But i still won't take him over a prime McGrady

Would be stupid not to..the object of the game is to win, something McGrady didn't do

Prime TMac > Durant

[rhythmic †hesis]

I'll take prime McGrady over Durant in a god damn heartbeat.
This is the same player who was on Kobe's level in his prime.

Durant I don't think will ever be as good as a healthy & primed Tracy McGrady.

tmac got a raw deal in terms of rosters and health. i think at his best he was a better player than durant. better scorer and much better facilitator. but because tmac's accomplishments are few, durant will go down as the better player. it's kind of a meaningless comparison though

Peak TMac? Probably. Prime TMac? I don't think so.

No

Kobe's prime wasn't some top 10 all time great prime. Kobe is great because of his longevity and being a top 5 player in the league for an entire decade, not being the absolute best in the game by a huge margin.

Have fun with a career loser as your best player. Isn't that the ENTIRE Kobe>LeBron argument?

this, Tmac was a GOD in his prime. People tend to ignore this fact just because he was on a terrible team.
