Kevin Durant is the best basketball player in the world

[benefactor]

Why didn't you bump this thread, T2Z?

I wondered the same.

He's not there yet but he will be. It will be interesting to see how both of their careers play out from here.

The only thing stopping Kevin Durant in the foreseeable future will be Lebron James, and he'll be in his prime for another 5-6 years.

The next 5 years will be epic as we'll be witnessing another Magic-Bird in Lebron-Durant showdown.

He'll be 28 this year, so five or six years is probably a stretch. He's probably got 4 more years of good solid prime before he starts to decline...barring any injuries, of course. Durant will be 24 and is still peaking.

The next few seasons should be fun to watch as they should continue to go head to head in the finals. As nature takes it's course and James hits the other side of 30 in the next two years Durant will overtake him. These next couple of seasons head to head will fuel a lot of arguments for who was the best during this era.

I have a little bit more confidence in Westbrook than I had before. He showed some flashes of maturity in the playoffs this year. I'm far from convinced though.

Thread was not about the future or the past.

LeBron is the best player in the world

Westbrook reminds me of a younger Parker.

[lefty]

Westbrook s on Parker

[racm]

Duh. Westbrook is more explosive.

If he can reduce his 3 point attempts and refine his midrange game he'd be deadly.

It's funny how everyone of us started nut hugging Durant after Game 1 but by Game 4, we all pulled a 360 and started crowning the King.

I guess you need a freak of nature like Lebron along with his athleticism to shut down KD.

Ok... So a full turn?

Kevin Durant is the best player in the NBA right now. He has proven himself to have the same icewater in his veins that is necessary to dominate. Like I said, after these Finals, the world will know who KD is. Eventually, BSPN will begrudgingly acknowledge that he is clearly better than LeHype. He still doesn't get the respect he deserves around these parts though. In time he will.

Nothing left to debate tbh.

Except the fact that LeBron, the guy who plays the same position as Durant that just beat the brakes off him in the Finals, is much better.

[lakerhaterade]

so benefactor has yet to directly say he was wrong, ok.

Westbrook reminds me of a younger Parker.

Parker used to catch alley oops all the time and monkey ball the out of them.

He was a beast back in the day.

Knee-jerk reaction thread, tbh.

Kevin Durant "best in the world"
LeClutch, CP3, and Dwight still above him
