Kiki says he would choose Oden if he were the Celtics GM, but thinks Durant is the Player of the Year. hmm...
you very well might be right, if youre picking on upside or potential, but theres no way anyone can say right now oden is better than durant

i think thats the consensus. its not Oden's fault he broke his hand. plus, it amazes me that people aren't fathoming what this kid would be doing if he were healthy. he may only average 1-2 more boards, but he'd easily be in the 20 ppg range, imo.
It's about who is better, not who is drafted 1st or that the other has no talent.
Common sense tells us that Durant is better.
FACTS, and stats don't lie. 'Cept to the blind.
He averages 1-2 less boards than Durant
what does that have to do with anything i said?
Durant only avgs 10pts more than Oden.
Only a little more in Rebs.
Durant avgs apprx 1.5 in Blocked shots less than Oden. OH!, that must be why Oden is so much better, Oden is better when it comes to BS.
Maybe I read this wrong, but I thought you wer saying that Oden averages more boards than Durant, to which I was replying that he wasnt, but I guess I read it wrong
Um, it hasn't nothing to do with it. Except for the fact that you said Oden has only 1-2 MORE boards and mardigan was correcting it. Oh, I guess it has something to do with what you said after all.
no way you can say oden. no way.
The only way that Durant will be picked #1 is if he stays in school for another year.
Durant may not be the #1 overall pick in the NBA draft but he is the better overall player between these two.
The better player isn't always the #1 pick, ask MJ about that.
Too many yrs busts or not the best player goes #1 overall.
Or Kwame going over Pau or, or Olowakandi over Vince and Dirk, or Camby over Ray Allen, or Shawn Bradley over Penny, ...the bottom line is their have been tons of big men that have shown tons of talent in college that didnt translate. I know he is better than all of those players, but, like Ive said, he wont be better than Howard or Zo in his prime.I know he will be the top pick, I just think Durant will be a much more dominant player in the pros.
lebron is the only one of those from the last 10 years though
or you mean active players during the last 10 years?, then include jordan. Anyway I dont think anyones saying that youd be crazy not to pick durant 1, im just saying durant at this point is clearly a better player

Durant can play 4 positions. FOUR. Their are not many players ever that could say that. , if Phoenix got him then 5. Its hard to call a guy 6-10 that can pull down 23 boards and blocks almost 2 shots a game a wing. So far all I can tell is that Oden is a more athletic Dikembe Mutombo
the tmacs and the garnetts haven't done much in terms of winning in the playoffs. It is always easier to build a team around a 7 foot center.
Shaq didn't win anything til he had Kobe AND TD didn't win it playing 5 on 1, Robinson et al helped just a little.

Apply this to the past if you want...here is the list of players in the last 10 years. AT their peaks, here is how most people would pick them
1) shaq with Kobe
2) duncan 2 outta 3 he needed some help there guy
3) kobe
4) lebron
5) garnett
goes to show you that big men > wings
I see your point, Let me look up how easy it has been for the Bucks since they took Bogut #1 overall recently.
Oh yeah, but Oden is a true C and taller so he is the best and blah blah blah!!
Oden looks like he is a recovering 34yo unshaven crackhead.
ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh rules changes are diminishing the role of the dominant center, look at dwight howard, does anyone expect his team to contend for a championship? No, sure he'll make the playoffs, but rules changes favor the mavericks type player
From the 2 games I've seen Durant is the one I would want on my team.
Kevin Durants is the best player evers! He throws it in the cup like no other! He's like Michael Jordan except taller, stronger and from UTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!1!one!
(smiley added by CBF)greg oden is huuuuuuuuuge
Either one would make the Spurs' rotation today.
How many championships would the spurs win if they had Kevin Durant as Bowen's protege and Greg Odom learning all of David Robinson's iron pumping techniques?
Eeeesh
wish spurs woulda tanked it this season
timvp might actually make sense if only we werent talking about Kevin Durant, and in the past VY
