Durant. I think he's more unique and special than George imo. Plus you can create refineries and job opportunities from his skin.
Who would you rather build your franchise around?

Paul George, tbh.... dat defense....
Easily Durant, don't even think this should be a discussion tbh
Durant is a great defender honestly, the notion that he isn't just makes no sense. His man rarely lights him up and he's had better defensive numbers than most elite defenders this season
He's also vastly improved as a playmaker and is showing that he's pretty much unstoppable as an offensive player
I still think Lebron is better than him, but there's no doubt that Durant at 25 is better than Lebron was at 25.
Anyway, George is nice but I don't see him getting to that elite tier the way Durant has. George is a special player but doesn't seem like a guy who could carry a team like Durant can
Durant even though I hate the sheer volume of free throws he gets game and in game out, particularly when they're the product of the swim through (a defender's arms) move.
To be fair, PG's only 23.... I wasn't sold at first but I think he will be The Guy soon and not need foodstamps from the league to do it, tbh....
In this league, you always build around a dominant scorer. It's been proven by the KG vs Dirk as a franchise star debate.

wtf is this?.
One guy is Beta but this is not even a discussion. Overrating the out of PG (and I like him..)
PG
Refs don't put him on the FT line 100 times/game, and he doesn't whine like that KD.
Also a better defender, and took Lebron to a game 7, unlike kevinbeta
Hard to pick against KD tbh dude lives at the free throw line and gets sucked off by the refs/media constantly. He's also a lanky ass who, while needing help to carry a gallon of milk to his car, is a matchup nightmare at both forward positions.
PG is a great defensive player though. Too bad he will never be a truly elite offensive player like KD
This is why I love ST
Spoiler, who's team made it further last year?
Except the all-around dominant Duncan was a better franchise star than both of them in his prime....
Obviously, but Duncan was just as dominant offensively as Dirk.
Durant.
1. LeBron
2. Durant
3. George
Obviously KD. More dynamic scorer and a better playmaker. George is not as developed yet so it's unfair to compare him to KD.
You, for about 5 minutes. tee, hee.Spoiler, who's team made it further last year?
I think there's a difference between "taking the better player all-round" and "picking a player to build your team around" imho. You need some alpha personality from the player upon whom your team is built, and Paul George would serve that purpose better. There's a reason why the Pacers are considered the only legit challenger against Miami, imho.
Love PG but it's KD. With this option, you always pick the more talented offensive player.
Where?
Most sane people agree KG > Dirk
KG has never carried a team to a championship. pls.Where?
Most sane people agree KG > Dirk
He did, against non-other than your own team. pay attention.
He wasn't impressive in 2008 NBAF honestly, he shot horribly for the first 3 games (32%). If KG showed up in game 3 (He was 6-21) Celtics could've swept the Lakers. I do acknowledge his defensive presence but, he never carried a team like Dirk did in 2011, destroying the Lakers and Heat in the same season. That was impressive.
KG in '08:
-3rd in MVP voting
-Celtics leader in PPG, rebounds and blks in the regular season
-Celtics leader in PPG, rebounds and blks in the postseason
-Defensive player of the year
If you wanna keep repeating ignorant stuff like "KG didn't carry that Celtics team" go ahead and do it but don't try to sell it to people that actually know about this, tbh.

Durant, and it really isn't close. Shouldn't even be a discussion.
and btw i thought the 08 finals was basically KG making Pau his
