Kevin Durant vs Kobe

[AlexJones]

Who would you take, tbh

[HarlemHeat37]

Durant is the 3rd best perimeter player of all-time, tbh..

[Koolaid_Man]

I voted for KD....;-) and by the way I'm more interested in Tim Duncan vs. John Amechi and Jason Collins

:lol

[spurraider21]

well... kirbs is mostly known for being one of the greatest scorers of all time, and durant is simply better than him at scoring. kobe was a better defender at his peak, and not as mentally soft as KD.

[DAF86]

Durant by a significat margin. After this season he will only need one more championship to make it official. That 12 will get to be 13 pretty soon, tbh. And then 14 (Curry), and then 15 (Kawhi).

We gonna miss you 12 :cry

Lebron is a clown

[Koolaid_Man]

[Koolaid_Man]

[Koolaid_Man]

[Koolaid_Man]

never forget Spur fans....Duncan is Kobe's eternal bitch...in this life and the next...hahahahahahaha

[apalisoc_9]

We wouldn't be having this conversation if Durant wasn't a pussy and stayed in OKC.

[TDMVPDPOY]

remember when cripple was made a bitch in Colorado...

[Mitch]

Kobe was a better defender, Durant is showing flashes of being up there lately but I'm not convinced. Durant was more of a mismatch, Kobe pulled more double-triple teams. Durant is a better overall shooter, Kobe was amazing in the post while being deadly at mid range.

Kobe for now, but if Durant can play like this throughout an entire season and improve then I'd give him the nod.

[whitemamba]

Y'all niggas trippin, give me prime Kobe all day.

[313]

Kobe wouldn't have choked a 3-1 lead with the best rebounding front court in the league last year tbh

[Thread]

I'd rather compare Kobe & LeBron the morning after. They'd be fixin' to lynch Kobe about now. LeBron? He's being protected & preserved for (later).

They're blaming Durant. He's about as white as you can get for a black man. He'll do.

[BatManu20]

I want to say Durant by a hair, as he's a more gifted and efficient scorer, and he's really coming into his own on defense.. But his epicly beta-bullshit move of joining a 73-win team with 3 All-Stars, including the back-to-back MVP, DPOY, and (soon to be 2x) Sixth Man of the Year, after they just knocked your team out of the playoffs because your team blew a 3-1 lead in large part to your choke-job in Game's 6 & 7, simply makes me not want put him above the Mamba in any category. Weakest move by a superstar in the history of professional sports. He's a beta who is mentally soft, which is the polar opposite of what Kobe was. That matters. As great as Durant is, if he'd never left OKC, we are not having this conversation. Having to piggyback your way to a championship on arguably the greatest team of all time is so fucking weak. And I t's a lot easier to shine when you have a super team around you.

Therefor, the winner by default is Kobe.

[ambchang]

Durant as he is willing to accept his natural born beta role.

[StrengthAndHonor]

Kobe of course. Could Durant carry Pau Gasol to a B2B? Of course not.

[Clipper Nation]

Kobe of course. Could Durant carry Pau Gasol to a B2B? Of course not.
Kobe couldn't either. MVPau was doing the carrying.

[AlexJones]

:lol I think the Lakers 2008-2011 went something like .680 without Kobe in the lineup. Not saying that they could win a title without him, but he certainly wasn't "carrying" Phil and company

Who cares? It's not like it diminishes the talent and I've seen no evidence that he's a mental midget on the court.

I would take KD easily for many reasons. For one, he's not guardable at all. Everyone remembers how much of a headache a player like Dirk was to guard in his prime. Well Durant is Dirk on steroids. Practically the same height, just as good of a shooter but can handle the ball while being 100X more athletic. While Kobe was great, there were guys that could guard him well. There's no "Durant stopper", however.

I've always thought Durant was a great defender, they just didn't put him on the other team's best players to conserve him. With his length and athleticism, he's much harder to score on then a player like Kobe. Speaking of the two, I remember in the 2012 playoffs they'd put Durant on Kobe in the closing moments of each game and it was pretty much game over for Bryant. He couldn't do anything whatsoever

[MultiTroll]

:lol "Who is taking the torch from Kobme as Fake Championship?"

:lol Casual Phans.

[unleashbaynes]

Durant quit because he knew there was no way he could join the Dubs if he beat them with the Thunder.

Watch the 2016 Playoffs OKC Durant up 3-1 vs the Golden Phaggots?

Watch Spurs - Phaggots Game 1? Yeah Durant sure looked "unguardable" against the Real #2 MVP Kawhi Leonard.

:lol Durant "not guardable". Dude was getting shut down by CP0 in the 2014 playoffs in the clutch ffs. His shot is basically unblockable but he's too mentally soft to be considered unguardable.

[Horse]

Fuck kobe and the lakers allday and night but you people are prisoners of the moment. Kobe was a killer and as a Spurs fan no one worried me more. Durant is the biggest bitch in nba history and the only reason he looks good is because all the games have been one-sided. Let the outcome be in doubt and this pussy will start tripping over his own feet again.

It's pretty easy to look unguardable when you have Steph/Klay sucking attention on the perimeter.....there's no way to cheat on defense.

[313]

Durant quit because he knew there was no way he could join the Dubs if he beat them with the Thunder.huh? Wouldn't it make more sense to beat them? a lot of the criticism on Durant is he went to the team he choked against :lol

[-21-]

You could say the same thing about Kobe having Shaq draw so much attention in the paint. One thing is for sure though, Kobe wouldn't have joined the Warriors. Instead, he would've ran Westbrook out of OKC. :lol

Is this a subtle troll job? 'cause he did exactly that, tbh. :lol

Kobe was only a "killer" of his own team. He had atrocious clutch stats and won nothing without being carried to it by generational big men. The guy was getting outplayed by the likes of Austin fucking Croshere in the Finals.

Durant was already better than Kobe while he was in OKC.
