    It's looking more and more like there's no doubt Durant will pass up Tim Duncan, Shaq, Hakeem, Bird and others. If we think about it for a sec, this guy is JUST NOW entering his prime.... It sounds unreal when you think about it. His numbers are going to be absurd when he retires and so will his resume.

    We get caught up in Kobe and Lebron -- but Durant is going to sneak into that group when it's all said and done.

    Yeah, he made a bitch move and went to GS. But he's been the 2nd best player in the world for so many years now. And Lebron pretty much did the same when he joined the 2nd best player in the world in Miami (Wade).

      He hit his prime during the last yr in okc, he was the best player in the league by then and still holds the crown today

      As far as legacy goes he won't surpass lebron but there's still time

          He's definitely talented enough to be top 3. His resume could pass lebrons when it's all said and done. Shrinks in pressure moments and will have the warriors working against him historically speaking.


          Funny when you think about it, kobe won more than half of his rings with a far better teammate than Kd has ever had. He's already better than him.

                At this point in his career, no, he is not a top 10 player

                By the end of his career I'd guess yes, he will be somewhere around 9 or 10

                  If he stays healthy I may squeeze him in the top 10, no chance he ever gets in the top 3

                      Off the top of my head, guys he should never be considered better than or ranked above.

                      Bird

                          He's similar to Abdul Jabar with unstoppable scoring

                          Also tightening up weaknesses such as defense and hustle by being on a stacked squad much how lebron improved areas when he was on miami

                          His passing was always above avg but his ability to score whenever on whoever in a plethora of ways is what makes him special

                          He'll pass kobe for sure

                            Yes there are other guys probably better too.

                            I was giving Durant benefit of the doubt.

                            Guys he's equal to or no better than:

                            K Malone
                            Barkley
                            O Robertson
                            Stockton
                            I Thomas
                            D Wilkins
                            Erving
                            Russell
                            Garnett
                            Nowitzki
                            Ewing
                            Drexler

                            I'm sure there are plenty of others.

                                I like younger Durant he would take you off the dribble and drive some. He wasted his best years having to play with Westbrook. Young KD was a machine, how does one average 32 and become a 4 time scoring champ playing with Russ? You have to be darn good, super efficient. Imagine if he never played with Russ.

                                      Yes bc durant is unguardable not to say that kobe isn't but a 6'10" dead eye shooter that can drive with the best of them? That's unfair, he creates mismatches more than dirk did and the German wunderschnitzel revolutionized the game

                                        stop comparing pre-3 era with 3 era
                                        Durant is also way too soft to bang with the old crew

                                                  Yes, a lot of doubt. Something about him is underwhelming. Warriors are Curry’s team. Durant seems more like a Scottie Pippen. Nothing wrong with that.

                                                    The Vegas Knights are so dominant that Kevin Durant is thinking about joining them.

                                                          I was giving Durant benefit of the doubt.

                                                          I'd put Iverson in that second bracket.
