    KG is bigger than he was as an 18-year old rook. It didn't slow him down. If anything, adding muscle will make him stronger in the post which will also will help him be a stronger defender. , LBJ is bigger than he was as a rook. Did he lose speed?

    -10 points for you son.
    horrible take, at that age your body is still growing naturally.

    Where's your proof that a soon to be 25 year old is still growing? Not saying it never happens, but it is highly unlikely. Until you produce irrefutable proof of your claim, -10 more points.

    2013 Playoffs KD v. LBJ

    30.8 ppg - 24.0ppg
    9.3rpg - 7.3rpg
    6.3apg - 7.3apg
    45.5% - 51.8%

    He is basically a one man gang out there and doesn't have nearly the supporting cast LBJ has around him. Put KD on the 2013 Heat team in place of LBJ, and I'd argue they wouldn't skip a beat. Put LBJ in OKC without WB, and he's fishing too. We've seen the results of LBJ teams outside of Miami.
    Terrible take, LBJ took a worse supporting cast than KD has even without Westbrick to the Finals....

    In one series against the Magic in '09, LBJ outdid Durant's entire postseason this year, averaging 38.5 PPG on 48% shooting, while averaging 8.3 rebounds per game and 8 assists....

    In arguably the biggest game of his pre-Miami career, against the Pistons in '07, LeBron dropped 29 of the Cavs' last 30 points.... meanwhile, when KD needs to step up by himself, he went 5-21 from the floor...

    Now dat !

    i'm actually saying the opposite you used the example of an 18 year old kg and a what, 19 year old lebron? how can you use that argument for a 24-25 durant?

    LBJ went through Leastern Conference in 2007. When he got to the Finals, The Sweep! took place. -10 points.

    That's not saying . Did he rang in 2009? to the no. He dominates the ball ala CP3. Of course he'll always put up numbers. However, he didn't win jack until he colluded. Question: is he putting up those numbers in Miami? No. -10 more points.

    No need to - I already stated above that it was the Leastern Conference that year. The real "Finals" was the WCF. He had a good series though. He still got his pushed in when he got to the Finals. Truth be told, if Cleveland were a WC team, he wouldn't have gotten to the Finals until 2010.

    James is far and away a better PLAYER than Durant. Durant is a better shooter. Nothing else.

    I wasn't comparing a 24-25 year old KD to KG or LBJ when they came into the league. I said KD needs to gain weight/strength which is true. You said that it would slow him down. I refuted that because KG came in just as skinny, then gained weight (eventually), and went on to have a HOF career. I didn't notice any loss of quickness in his game. , he's still pretty quick right now as a certified TOSB. He just doesn't have the stamina he did 15 years ago. Then I mentioned that LBJ is bigger and stronger now than he was as a rook. There is no noticeable drop in his speed or quickness, even 10 years later.

    So, for me taking time out from working and having to explain myself to you, -10 more points. Try harder son.

    So why post Durant's numbers from this year like it's special, considering he's definitely not ringing?

    And why bring up collusion when collusion is the reason why the OKC Thunder exists?

    He laughed at my post. So to back up my claims, I posted current playoff numbers betweem the two. Now, admittedly, LBJ is the best in the game today (bar none tbh). However, to laugh at my theory that this is the best we'll see of LBJ - and KD (being only 24) can overtake him as the best of the game - is funny, but silly IMO. At one time Kobe was the best player in the game, too. Even LBJ said as much. No one says that anymore.

    Simply put, KD's ceiling has not been reached yet. Also, if KD gains strength (my opinion) he'll challenge LBJ as the best in the game. Not too far fetched. LBJ is better than KD (right now) and his supporting cast is better than KD's is. Will that change? I guess we'll have to see.

    Next Larry Bird?
    Potentially, but KD is more athletic than Bird.
    He has the potential to be the evolutionary Larry Bird. Stone cold assassin 3 who can also pass and rebound.

    Durant ain't the best even as a beta tbh, Kobe career-wise beats anyone in that regard.
