I'm not speaking about his grotesque, bubbly face, tbh..

He's easily the 2nd best player in the NBA, no argument there..however, he receives more preferential treatment than any player during my lifetime, it's difficult to defend him without the refs calling a ticky tack foul, tbh..

Is he the least impressive superstar of all-time? Of this generation?..if not, who is?..

It's just NBA trying to protect its goldmine, Durant's not built like James, his body will break if allowed the same abuse most other superstars received defensively night in & out.

Kobe is a close second, but yeah i would agree on Durant. It's virutally impossible to guard Durant, because the refs will never allow you to guard the guy. Durant get's 2006 dwayne wade treatment every fking game..It's unreal. Even kobe despite dont get this kind of treatment.

Skills-wise, agreed with Howard, but at least most people constantly state and criticize his flaws..his status as a superstar has been a polarizing subject..

Durant's favoritism is largely ignored by the media..

I think it's due to the fact that Durant has no muscle or body mass going for him. Guarantee if the refs didn't help him out, Durant wouldn't be that impressive against the hard nosed defenders. Hell, last year in the first two games of the WCF, Stephen Jackson bodied up on Durant and kind of got him in a funk. Durant needs those free throws to be effective. In two years, the ref help will be gone, I can guarantee it

It's not fucked up when Durant has the ball in his hand more than any other Thunder player. The disparity in free throws was only 6 (36-30) and personal fouls were even at 23.. Both teams got their share of freethrows.

Kevin is quite impressive actually. He's an offensive juggernaut and has a good head on his shoulders, so its quite refreshing to see a player who can actually score with ease. I know people criticizes him because he gets tons of FT's but the reality of the situation is he plays in a system that maximizes this kind of opportunity (OKC is 1st in FTA, props to Scott Brooks tbh)


I think Melo is the least impressive Superstar of his generation. He doesn't really do anything that smile and lead his team to 1st round exits.

Wade is actually impressive as well. 6'4 guard that can block like nobody else. Has a great footwork, thunderous hops and mind blowing facials. It also doesn't hurt that he's a 2 time champion.

You have been awfully quiet since Lebron got his ring, tbh..running your mouth, spewing nonsense last year, I hope you have been humbled and leave the basketball talk to the big boys, tbh..Well, ya see Harlemphony37, the Spurs weren't given credit for 1999 until they won in 2003. Miami beat a dysfunctional Knicks team, a self destructive Pacers team, a severely depleted Celtics team that went the distance and a Thunder team that ran out of gas after tackling the Western Conference's elite. I didn't even bring up Lebron's obvious foul on KD in the closing seconds of game 2 that completely flipped the momentum in Miami's favor. If they win this year, I'll give credit where credit is due.

Speaking of disappearing acts, you've been sort of low key since your sexual escapades on certain porn websites were revealed. Your mom didn't find out and take away your computer privilidges did she? Or did you switch into troll mode. Kool-aid man's brother's been doing some serious work. Either way, its good to see you posting again. And Harlem, you didn't answer my question.....

He had 40-points, yet I wasn't impressed by his performance, it's all free throws and offensive flopping..
