Kevin Durant is the best basketball player in the world

[benefactor]

Nothing left to debate tbh.

[lefty]

He is good

[pass1st]

4-6 mores games left to debate

If he outplays LBJ the series, then it'll be evident

[HarlemHeat37]

He outplayed Lebron tonight, but Westbrook was just as good as him..obviously Westbrook won't receive any credit, though..

[vato loco]

2nd

he's an amazing scorer but give me lebron anyday

[Mugen]

said it before the Spurs/Thunder series. Lebron's still the best all around player but I'll take Durant right now. He's improved his passing/defense significantly.

[InK]

He is young as well

[lefty]

Lebron = best overall player
KD = most clutch

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Westbrook is not even in the same.conversation with Durant in terms of efficiency and cold bloodedness

[TE]

He is up there. I still think Lebron is better at his best.


This series will certainly determine who is currently the best player in the world.

[HarlemHeat37]

Westbrook was just as important on both sides of the floor, tonight..

If Durant outplays Lebron all series, I'll concede that he's the best player in the NBA(although he has been allowed to rest for the entire playoffs, on D, going up against weak individual opponents during the first 3 series's)..

I just want Westbrook to receive credit as a top 3 guard, which is currently where he's ranked..

[baseline bum]

God damn Durant is awesome to watch. Sick to see a guy playing this well and 3 wins from a ring at age 23. I can't wait until Miami gets a coach next season and we see a modern day 80s Lakers-Celtics rivalry between the Thunder and Heat.

[oh crap]

dude is only 23 ing years old with room to grow still.. that's just plain scary

Yes to both. OKC in 6 games ...

Still, will he be as effective in a couple of years once his acne has cleared up?

Not as good but almost as important.

[TampaDude]

Happy for Durant. He's really good and will likely win several les.

Pissed that dirty, coddled Fisher is probably gonna coattail to yet another ring. Somebody needs to MWP his ass, seriously.

[timvp]

So in Durant's first Finals game he had a better outing than LeBron has ever had in the Finals?

I'm sure we won't hear about that 1389410942 times in the next couple days . . .

[Baron Davιs]

Took LeBron 11 playoff games to reach 30 pts in the Finals.
Only took Durant 1.

[KD4MVP]

He's pretty freaking good, scary thing he's just 23 years old!

[ImDaNuts]

yep

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Best in the world. Ruthlessly efficient. Makes great decisions. Never gets rattled. Unstoppable in the 4th. The Durant Era has arrived.

I was thinking Durant is too young to deserve a le too, until espn just reminded me that Kobe was only 22 (1 year younger than Durant) when he started coat tailing his way to multiple championships

[dbreiden83080]

He is the most clutch.. Lebron is better all around but he can't shoot like Durant and he does not have that ice in his veins..

[Cant_Be_Faded]

This actually makes me laugh

Lol Kobe needing the most unstoppable force in NBA history to win his first le

Lol Kobe's career compared to Durant's in year 4
