I liked the better shooter slightly advantage Durant

not that I disagree about what you are saying

Lebron is without a doubt the better all around player... haters would say during 3 quarters

[Kai]

Wait so the best player in the world is better than another player you decide to compare him to?

[Spurs da champs]

Durant is a way better shooter.
Rebounding Durant & James are even.
Durant is just as good a shot blocker as well.

Rest goes to LeBron, but the gap isn't that much.

Lebron has been Clutch in his playoff career. A few Misakes here and there...Most people only consider the last minute of the game and all but if you look back in his career he has been actually clutch..Last year obvlsy was the biggest choke job ever but he will redeem himslef

[apalisoc_9]

I guess you dont watch bron bron then..12/14 Im sure durant the way better as shooter ey..55%ehem

he was clutch for the cavs but he lost it. Its not about mistakes its about missing FTs, deferring, being scared, missing shots he would have made during the 3 first quarters... maybe fatigue is a factor after 3 quarters playin' the whole 36 mn

As of today if you could choose who to give the ball in the fourth you go with Durant without thinking twice

No doubt. But this Choker reputation is undeserved..and this playing only in the 3rd qrts is one of the biggest bs ever.

You're right, of course. Having a hot game is exactly the same thing as being a better shooter in general.

For the playoffs as a whole, LeBron is shooting 39% for 2-pointers outside the paint, and 27% for 3 pointers. Durant is shooting 52% outside the paint, and 36% outside the line.

LeBron is an elite penetrator that does a ton of other things well, and his shooting is above average. KD is the best shooter in the league period. The difference is in no way "slight."

He basically didn't show up in the 4th quarter last finals. Until he shows up in the finals and in the 4th, it stays.

Better Shooter: Slight advantage KD

[smaka]

Have you ever asked why Lebron has so high 2pt shot percentage? I dont think so...

[Latarian Milton]

my bron is outplaying long legged everywhere on the floor tbh

[100%duncan]

Better handler: Draw? Bron owns in that category

[HeatChamps]

Lebron is a way better slasher, way better ball handler, way better passer, way better defender, and way better rebounder. All Durant has is shooting.

Durant is outstanding on the boards too, so in no way is LeBron "way better." LeBron is better at offensive rebounding, but Durant is even in defensive rebounding, or possibly even has a slight edge.

which is a big deal

[HarlemHeat37]

most people seem to be neglecting the fact that Lebron plays the roles of playmaker, scorer, rebounder AND defensive anchor for his team..he has the most responsibility in NBA history..

Durant's only roles are scorer and rebounder..Westbrook is the primary playmaker on the team, and Thabo/Ibaka/Perkins are the defensive players..

If Lebron only had to exert energy at scoring and rebounding, he'd be averaging 37-11, tbh..

[daspurs]

Durant is damn near 7 feet, he should be a better rebounder. that pick.

Except that nobody's actually neglecting that -- pretty much everyone who has posted agrees that LeBron is the more versatile player. And what he would be scoring if he didn't have to do all that is irrelevant, because the Heat doesn't have anyone else to fill those roles, and the Thunder do.

One interesting factoid about playmaking: for this year's playoffs, Durant's assist ratio is only a small fraction below LeBron's (14.6 to 14.3). Durant's making more plays for his teammates than he did during the regular season, while LeBron is making a lot fewer.
