Durant Just Winning World Championships All By Himself

[JNic]

durant is just a legend

[TGHMak]

I wonder who will be the starting SF in 2012 if durant, melo and lebron plays.

[jjgold]

Durant is much better than Melo

I would not even have Melo on team, he is a loser nba player

[Power Play]

Lebron may have more physical talents but Durant is better right now in my opinion. Switch Durant with Lebron on the Heat and they'll be even better. Comparison (my opinion)
Perimeter Shooting: Durant
One-on-One Defense: Slight Lebron
Team Defense: Tie
Jumping Ability: Lebron
Clutch: Durant
Team play without the ball: Durant
Basketball IQ: Durant
Driving and Finishing Ability: Lebron
Passing: Lebron
Playing Hard all the time and not giving up: Durant
Upside: Durant because Lebron's already in his prime
Free Throws: Durant
Rebounding: Tie
Athleticism: Lebron
Offensive Versatility: Durant
Post Play: Tie

durant is a great player but i dont know if i even put him in the top 5 yet. i still have wade, james,kobe, paul, ad howard ahead of durant

[tat1980]

Rose was pitiful, he is not even close to big time

Too small and cannot shoot

JJ you just showed your true ignorance. Rose can take it from end to end whenever he wants has good D & has developed a midrange jumper. He has only been in the league a few years he is still improving but is a star already. He can jump out of the gym he is very athletic. Rose can rebound for a guard can drive and kick it out with the best of them. After this year will be a top 15 player in the league & will be a AllStar for years to come.

The team you saw will basically be our 2012 team. LeBron and Melo have won a Gold medal, I doubt they're even thinking about coming back.

OT, are there any MVP odds out? Durant has to be the favorite going into the season.

I would much rather have Greg Oden than Durant, great job picking Blazers.

[Tree Rollins]

Durant is unreal. From here on out, he's the most dangerous all-around offensive player in the league.

I would change this category title to "heart". And the advantage in the 'heart' category goes to Durant by a long long long shot.

As far as the 'post play' category, that one say's a lot about Lebron. He would be so dangerous in the post but for some reason he refuses to play with his back to the basket or develop any type of post moves. It's weird. It will be funny when his athleticism starts to slide and he realizes he fuked up by not mastering the post game. He won't be able to prolong his status as the top player in the world (a la Kobe and MJ) by becoming lethal with his back to the basket.

[Diesel79]

I think his scoring average this season will be something like 33-35 per game......

I hope he dunks over lebron many times this year.

There are just so many things wrong with this post. Durant more clutch than Lebron?? lol He has a better basketball Iq than Lebron?? And if Lebron is already in his prime like you fasley claimed, than how can Durant still be better than him???

[Bradyd]

Durant is not MUCH better than Melo, if at all. Honestly, Melo has the edge right now.. And If Melo is a loser than Durant must be the King of Losers because he has yet to win a playoff series.

Just my opinion man I could be wrong. However, can't imagine Lebron dominating the World Championship as throughly as Durant because Durant has a zone busting, consistent jumpshot when Lebron's is erratic. Plus can't imagine Durant mailing it in the last two games against the Celtics. Durant's more mentally mature than Lebron (I don't think I have to explain this). I think Lebron is in his prime now because at 7-8 years in the league that's when Jordan and Kobe enters their primes at least statscally. Lebron can still improve certain parts of his game (jumper, defensive IQ, playing without the ball) but he has yet to to show the kind of work ethics of a Jordan or Kobe to continually refine his game. Durant and Lebron comparison is close now but when factoring in intangibles (heart, good teamate, maturity) it arguable that Durant has already surpassed Lebron.

I love Durant and think he will surpass LeBron. But you guys are all insane with this knee-jerk hype. Calm down. He had a monster tournament and will have a monster 2010-2011 season, but let's not say insane shit now.

Yes, yes, yes and yes!

[jjgold]

Durant has the cleanest image of all the stars and is liked much more than Kobe, Lebron, ect

Time will tell

[portnoy65]

Durant is fantastic best!!!!

[NOLA42]

A couple of years he'll be the best

[MarlinsFan2212]

Durant is talented, but Id still take LeBron and Dwight Howard over him.
