Durant
he's younger, impressive and has a bright bright future. would be a crime if he never received an MVP award
Who would you take and Why?
Durant

as great as Wade is, i'd take Durant because nobody knows how high his ceiling is. barring injury, the levels he can reach are limitless.
durant younger and er is still getting better
It pains me to say it, but Wade. He's a proven winner, good court vision and has a much better defensive game
For the future?..probably Durant, due to age and injury concerns..
Right now?..obviously Wade, not debatable..
Durant's younger, has a great ceiling, has been tough despite his skinny frame, isn't scared to take big shots, and has a humble heart.
I'd take Kevin all day right now.
My concern with Wade is that he is 28 and the type of style he plays might not allow him to play up to an age that other guards would be able to.
Who the would pick Wade over Durant? Scoring SGs are a lot more common than freakishly long, athletic, and great shooting SFs. Dude just won a scoring le at 21 years old while leading a very young team to 6 games against the back-to-back champs. Wade is an amazing player no doubt but at this point in time you would be crazy to pick Wade over Durant if you're looking ahead.
Seriously, what tandem would you rather have?
Durant - Brandon Roy
Wade - Danny Granger
Are you serious with that question? Durant and Roy, hands down. No contest. Durant over Wade also. Durant is younger and still getting better. Wade has reached his peak and is prone to a lot of TOs and can't shoot 3's very well.
I can't see Durant improving much more statiscally. If anything, his stats will go down next year.
You sure about that? Who else is going to take the majority of the shots on the Thunder and score the majority of points on that team?
i take durant who will win mvp this season...
KD ..... that youth and just long
A complete and utter idiot with no skill at evaluating basketball talent and potential. Not even debatable.
Harlem is right ... Right now it's Wade .. The biggest difference between the two is Wade has the ability to make his team mates better obviously because he's a much better passer. If I was to pick a guy for this coming season I would take Wade without much hesitation. Proven winner and playoff performer too.
For the future .. Durant easily because of age there's no debate there .. But people tend to over rate guys like KD because of their potential.
In fact as of right now Durant might be the most overrated player in the NBA.. He's arguably a top 5 player .. But still really over rated.
Wade is the better player now. Comparable scorers. Wade is the better playmaker and help defender.
Durant. Seven years younger. Should have made it who do you take at 21?
Durant. He has the potential to become the greatest scorer this game has ever seen. Ever. (Don't talk to me about Wilt, if the league average for team PPG was 118 today individual scoring averages would be that ridiculous also.)
He also has the ability to be a major scoring threat without dominating the ball, thus allowing his teammates more ball time to do their thing. He could play with a ball dominant star.
He's only 21 (And already the reigning scoring champ!)
With his length and quickness he can guard 2-4, and has the potential to be an amazing defender, help and on-ball. He also has length to disturb great offensive players (I don't think Kobe scored on him once in that series, and Kobe has the most versatile arsenal on offense in the league).
He's also humble, avoids drama, and is clearly loyal and values winning over a nicer city (Looking at you LeSoufBeach)
BTW Wade is amazing, but I could not turn down Durantula
On being the Games greatest scorer:
Attributes:
Tall and Long
-He can shoot over anyone, they aren't blocking that, and with his length he could be an even better post up player than MJ. Potential wise: Durant's fadaway postup J>MJs same shot
Can shoot the lights out obviously
Can take it to the basket and finish well with his length
LENGTH
He gets to the line a lot (Call it fair or ref love, either way he gets there)
Right now and the short term, Wade. Long term, Durant. Durant's a much better shooter and rebounder than Wade but doesn't have as awesome of athletic ability, doesn't come close in playmaking, and has a lot to prove while Wade's a Finals MVP on the underdog team.
Durants a few years away before torching Boston like Wade did this past playoffs and he had terrible talent around him: 33.2 points (56% FG), 5.6 rebounds, 6.8 assists, 1.6 steals, 1.6 blocks
Durant.
