    Kevin Durant looks like a teenager working out with his coach or something. Imagine if Kevin Durant gets as big and strong like Lebron James...

    I guess them two working out together would benefit both of them. KD would get stronger like Lebron James while James would learn to shoot like KD. Man Lebron James with the shooting touch of KD... That would be too much.

    man KD needs to put some muscles on and he will be pretty much unstopable with his range. And damn, his tatoos look awful too :)

    BTW I love the idea of them working together. They can benifit from each other

    People compare KD'd physique to MerGady... however I just don't see KD putting on as much muscle like our former #1 did in his prime. His body is built to be aerodynamic.

    I'm not saying Lebron's not a good dribbler, but KD looks like a smoother ball handler. It seems like he gets to the spots easier and a little quicker than James.

    KD's physique isn't comparable to McGrady's. KG is a closer example of where KD is headed.

    I disagree. Kevin Garnett is a LOT LOT more physical than Durant

    I forgot to mention that. I'm only talking about body type and lack of musculature. They play two different positions and their styles and skillsets don't match.

    Like KG, KD will very slowly fill out over his career but will remain a string-bean.

    Man Lebron's jumpshot is starting to look nice. Once his in game jumpshot is consistent, it would be nearly impossible to stop him.

    They're in the NBA for a reason. Those shots should be going in. I saw Scott Padgett drill like 15 straight 3's with ease.

    That doesn't tell you anything. Probably 70% of NBA players can make those shots on regular basis during practice. The problem is LeBron doesn't get as good elevation as KD does or Kobe used to. He has become a much better shooter but the gameplan is still the same: make him take outside shots
