Congrats Kevin Durant....

[Koolaid_Man]

I didn't discredit Durant for what he did..I responded to the OP, when his claim makes no sense, considering Lebron already has a Gold, and he did it on a bigger stage..

not fair Lebron and Wade had Kobe...So Durants more impressive...

If you're not discrediting Durant, what's the purpose to make fun of his FG% in last season's playoff series against the Lakers? You're obviously trying to discredit Durant.

And one could argue LeBron didn't "lead" a team to gold. He has been on a team that won gold. But it's absolutely clear that Durant led this team. When LeBron won gold, Wade was the leading scorer and Kobe was the closer. It's at the least arguable. The claim by the OP has merit depending how he views the 2008 Olympics.

same reason that Jay-Z wears glasses in-doors...they're hiding from their faces...

Lebron's looks rival his physical presence on the court...

Durant hasn't had a chance to win an Olympic gold medal. LeBron is 1 for 2.

Here's the thing people sometimes forget. After Team USA failed in the 2004 Olympics, they had another chance to redeem themselves before the 2008 Olympics. In 2006, Team USA could have redeemed themselves. This time, LeBron and Wade and Carmelo were the leaders of the team. LeBron had already established himself as a superstar in the league, after his third NBA season, just like Durant this summer. Wade just got done winning a championship and a Finals MVP. Their team had more talent than this Team USA. They once again won bronze.

So trying to discredit what Durant did in these FIBA World championships is futile and frankly silly. LeBron + Wade + Carmelo couldn't do it in 2006. And Durant had far less help on this team.

A few thoughts about KD:

1. KD >> LeBronze
2. KD will be a Laker in 2-3 years

Great ownage of HarlemHo by the way!

Artest assisted Har.

tee, hee.

[midnightpulp]

you guys should stop slobbing over durant's nuts. Although, i'm sure he likes male lovin, at best, he's a 3rd option on a good team. If he continues to work hard and avoid that fragile frame getting crushed, he can move into league of the ray allen's and reggie miller's. I'm actually being generous because i doubt he does this.

38-13.

Really even while under contract with the Thunder?

[Punchy]

I'm sure he likes male lovin

You're one to talk.

Hey re ....I said "lead" something your boy Lebronze can't seem to do in any level.

[LkrFan]

Melo is under KT with Denver. What you saying?

[SomeCallMeTim]

Durant has been amazing and he is easily the most likable superstar in the NBA. I can't think of any dirt on this guy -- unlike Kobe, Wade, LeBron, even Howard, there just doesn't seem to be anything in his past or personality that grates. Truly seems like a good and humble dude, impossible to root against a guy like that.

[Ace]

Melo is under KT with Denver. What you saying?

Yet he is still with Denver and his contract ends after this year, while Durant is locked for 5 years. Is it really that hard to understand?

[SomeCallMeTim]

Also, are Lakaluva and Koolaid paid each time they make gay references in their posts or something?

[SouthTexasRancher]

For leading Team USA to gold....unlike some other dude who likes to lead them to LeBronze.

[midnightpulp]

Are you paid for counting?

So you admit it?

[Ace]

The only time I've gotten paid from this site is when I took your money on a foolish bet on your part. Now, does he get paid to count mine and Kool's post.

No need to count just look at any one of kool's or your posts and your bound to find something or a youtube video.

What does that have to do with you essentially admitting that you and Kool make sexually charged comments towards each other?

It was easy money for you, though. Maybe if Bynum wasn't such a got I could've broke even.

[Daddy_Of_All_Trolls]

ESPN featured the FIBA championship and found a new star to hype. That's good for the NBA. I see the makings of future jealousy toward KD in this thread.

Future threads: Whos better, KD or KB? KD or LBJ?

LOL

If you're not discrediting Durant, what's the purpose to make fun of his FG% in last season's playoff series against the Lakers? You're obviously trying to discredit Durant.

The purpose of making fun of his FG% is to mock the implication from the OP that Durant is even comparable to Lebron as a player in the NBA..bringing up his FG% in the playoffs is a separate point and has absolutely nothing to do with his run in a different, inferior league..it's an immature reaction to an immature OP..

And one could argue LeBron didn't "lead" a team to gold. He has been on a team that won gold. But it's absolutely clear that Durant led this team. When LeBron won gold, Wade was the leading scorer and Kobe was the closer. It's at the least arguable. The claim by the OP has merit depending how he views the 2008 Olympics.

Lebron has never been given the role that Durant was given during this tournament, for obvious reasons, due to having other high-usage players..

Lebron was also the clear #1 or #2 best player on the team with Wade, on a different level from any other players on the team, again, on a bigger state than this ty FIBA tournament that was missing key players on other teams..so while he didn't have the same role as Durant, he was still clearly the best or co-best player on that team..

Either way, it's irrelevant..I didn't even claim that Lebron was as good as Durant during the tournament, all I said was that Lebron also has a Gold, which makes the comparison stupid..if he's claiming that Durant led a team to a Gold and Lebron didn't, it's not an accurate comparison..Lebron has never been given the role of the "leader" or "high usage" player on any of those teams, so it's technically impossible for him to have led these teams to medals..

Without checkin... i would assume the best player of each of the other competing nations were actually playing... unlike these world champs. That probably made a difference.
