11 years ago, wasn't Kobe taunting the fans during the Philly finals? Fueding with shaq because he wanted to be "the man"
We don't see any of that in Durant. Guy just has a genuine will to win and is as humble as they come.
And Kobe wasn't as productive his first 5 years.
Of course I don't mean Durant is as good as Kobe or Jordan, just his passion to win is the closest we've seen to Jordan. Rose is exactly the same as Durant too. It's refreshing.Comment -
Completely agree with the will to win.
Rose and Durant and drama free. No theatrics or hassles just a burning desire to winComment -
durant is the most clutch by far.Comment -
knicks have a big 4.Comment -
HO-LY...FCUK...Westbrook is better than Wade?! Since When!? Whooooaaaaaaaaa.......WHOA...I'd say Ibaka is better than Bosh overall and waaaaayyy more consistent at the things he's good at than Bosh is at the THING he's good at.
Poor Bosh was NEVER supposed to be in the big 3...he was just supposed to be an all-star friend of the big 2...been treated that way from day 2 (day 1 was the parade where he got treated almost equal).
I'd still take the Heat big 3 over the Thunder big 3 because they have no chemistry issues...they're bigger/faster/stronger than all their Thunder counterparts and they are athletic freaks..however the Thunder do have a better overall starting 5 (even though Chalmers is EXTREMELY underrated...and Thunder have a way better and more productive bench as wellComment -
Iverson had itOriginally posted by zsrComment -
So do the Thunder now! Durant, Westbrook, Harden and don't forget the man-child Ibaka!! Excuse me, Iblocka.Originally posted by hangtimeComment -
Iverson was theatrics just like Kobe.
Neither are as bad as Lebron is though.
Durant/rose just go to work. No drama, no arrogance. Dont pass the blame. Dont quit, just a True passion to win.Comment -
ive never seen an athlete give his all out on the court like AIComment -
Westbrook is a monster
He now is way better than Wade
Not even in same class..Westbrook a tiny shade under RoseComment -
do the thunder ever rest their stars, jeez durant/westbrook killing my hornets +12,
let off the gas a little scott brooks, damn, it's just the hornets, call off the dogsComment -
this is true... and he may pass rose within the next yr or too... more athleticOriginally posted by jjgoldComment -
LMAO at all the guys getting on Westbrooks jock al of a sudden. Same guys who called him a ball hogging idiot last week. Guy isnt that good. he is alot like Kobe was early on, no conscience but had a guy underneath that could clean up his messes. Wouldnt surprise me to see him turn into a kobe jr and start believing his own hype after awhile. It will really come full circle when he decides he doesnt need to play with Durant anymore and can do it on his own.
If Lebron James had any sort of instincts none of these guys would sniff a ring for the next 6 or 7 years. Just like Jordan shut out all those guys he did back in the day. I am not even a lebron guy but he is head and shoulders better than eveyrone else playing today.Comment -

If the Thunder trade for Ray Allen they will win it all this year.Comment -
Lol at wantitall. Lebron is literally the worst superstar finals performer we've ever seen.
Durant and Westbrook are going to dominate for the next 5 years, not Lebron. Durant is head and shoulders better than anyone has been at his age. Best scorer in the league, best wing rebounder because of his size. Look how much his defense has improved. Watch him move his feet on the perimter now and compare it to his rookie year, it's unbelievable the improvement.Comment -

You gotta calm down with these statements that are purely opinion and cannot be backed upComment -
and if thats not enough for you...
Jordan averaged 37.1 ppg, 5.2 rpg, 4.6 apg, 2.9 spg, and 1.5 bpg when he was durrants age
gotta stop saying this stuff... the little bit of credibility that you had left is completely disappearingComment -
Yea, Kevin love is the best player in the league by far, 26 15 4 and 2. He's a hall of famer. Better than Lebron and Howard obviously.
Stats don't tell the story.
Of course you use them when they help you, shrug them off when they disagree with you. Just stop.Comment -
klove is the best pf in the league..you are correct
and kd at age 23 is not as good as jordan or lebron wasComment -
Of course he's not as good as Jordan was.
He's as good as Lebron is right now.
Kevin love is not the best PF in the league.Comment -
again you are smarter then nba experts.. man if only you could muster up the courage to bet on sports.. you could make millions!

Read the whole thread. Thanks for the laughs ZSR. Dlunc Hawley and Pauul and others were correct in all their statements.
Don't listen to this poster ZRS. Here's a recap of claims he made:
1. Durant is a better defender than Lebron.
2. Westbrook is better than Wade, and not even close.
3. Westbrook is a top 3 perimeter defender in the NBA
How many blocks per game does this guy even get? Same exact size as Wade. Wade is the best blocking sg in history of NBA.
Durant is a better shooter than Lebron, that's it. He will struggle to get into the paint if Lebron checks him one on one. Durant is going to get so much better. That's what some don't understand. In 2 years, Durant will be twice the player he is today, and will be on Lebron's level as an overall player (defense, passing, strength).
ZRS wanted to bet me 3000 points that the Bulls will win the Eastern Conference before the season started. I obviously said Miami will win it. Even if the Bulls had Rose healthy, they would be knocked out in the second round by Boston. They lost to Miami in 5 last year and Miami played bad basketball and the Bulls played their best ball.
He also told me that the Knicks would knock the Heat out of the first round. And that the Knicks were a horrible matchup for Miami. This guy knows nothing about basketball.
It's the same spew of kids that come in here every nba season and start making assumptions based on the regular season.Cause Sleep is the Cousin of DeathComment -

is there a reason why this thread even exists?
Its like a hair salon with a bunch of women bitching about this and that...LOLComment -
goat i pretty much agree with everything you said except for this. durant will get somewhat better, but he will never be as good as lebron as an overall player, namely in regards to defense and strength. lebron is a once in a generation talent, once in maybe a handful of generations talent (we can't see into the future obviously), and durant can only will himself so far. lebron just has too much god-given beastliness that we've never seen before.Originally posted by Goat Milk
now, to address the original topic, this recent playoff series with the heat has shown that no one has the big 2 that miami has. westbrook and durant are exceptional but cannot match a focused wade and lebron in that regard, mainly because they both have such incredible shot-creating ability and play such strong defense. so forget about big 3, we can argue big 3s, big 5s, whatever, but when they both have their head in the game (at times wade seems like he'd rather be anywhere else) lebron and wade are damn near unstoppable. this seems like their year, but the fun really will be to see who will meet them, because the spurs are no goddamn joke and pop is by far the best coach left.Comment -
unfortunately, this kid was kicked off of sbr and cant even defend himself...Comment -
At least the comments about Durant being clutch are true.
The guy has made like three game winning shots in the playoffs so far.
I love it that he wants to take the shot and after he makes it, he acts like he expected to make it. He doesn't start pounding his chest and yelling. He makes it and walks back to the bench like nothing happened.Comment -
If Durant is able to put on some muscle, he can be a better player than LeBron down the road. He's a MUCH better shooter, and clutch player. Only thing he needs is to add some weight so he can improve his drives inside like Lebron, and his defense will also improve alot.
He will be a deadly player.Comment -
lebron , big choke
wade , no shaq no glory
bosh , big boss ?Comment -
zsr has to be one of the biggest dumfuks on the site.
idiot claimed palmer was done cause he couldnt throw anymore due to his "career ending elbow injury"... yet he led the league in completions over 20yds and had several 60+ yd td throws. helped the raiders to 1 win from making the playoffs.
wouldnt surprise me if this broke con-artist got chucked for scamming pts.Comment -
