    what a terrible thread, please delete

    Bron>>KD, and that’s obvious to anybody with common sense

    KD wouldn’t have carried that Cavs team to the finals in the East

    Durant has removed the championship as a resume booster. His “titles” are meaningless.

    Lol stop it. KD is a snake who joined a 73 win team. Lebron is on a whole other level. Why? Because if you replace Lebron by KD in this year's Cav's roaster, they might not even make the playoffs

    Was gonna open thread just to identify and ignore OP, only to find OP was already being ignored.

    I will admit, it is inspiring that KD has accomplished everything he has without a spine. He didn't let that disability deter him.

    You sound almost as bad as a majority of the nba writers these days. Maybe join a warriors message board?

    Just to clear up any confusion, again I am talking about right now and not on October 17, 2017.

    A few people have said that LeBron was better than Durant for most of this season. Maybe that's true. But the torch was passed in Game 3 for me. If nothing else it's also just age.

    I think Harden probably also passed him now too BTW.

    This. Don't know why people can't understand this.

    Even if you discount all that and look at the stats this playoffs it clear Lebron is the better player. 34/9/9 on 53.9% shooting vs 29/7/5 on 48.7% shooting.

    Your forgetting defense. Durant wanted to defend LeBron. LeBron almost went out of his way to avoid defending Durant.

    I think its clearly LeBron #1, and then you have KD, Curry, Davis, and Harden in the next tier.

    Lol, so u want Lebron to carry a bunch of scrubs all game while playing damn near all 48 minutes in addition to guarding Kevin Durant? Put KD on the Cavs in place of Lebron and Cleveland is not in the finals, period.

    Wtf? There is no way in hell that Harden or KD have surpassed Lebron. What are u smoking? KD being better than Lebron was a foolish statement in October, and just as foolish today...

    (re: game three) "43/13/7 - You know what you call that for LeBron? Tuesday. We're calling it Durant's best game ever. That illustrates the gap between one and two."

    Durant may be the best scorer in the league (but even then, I think an elite defender with decent height and length can keep him in check).

    He is not the best active player in the league today. There's more to basketball than just using your height to shoot jump shots over most defenders...

    If KD were on the Cavs instead of LeBron, then Boston would be in the finals. Hell, Cleveland might've lost to Indiana in the first round.
