    Alright guys, let me ask you this. When is the last time you saw a 6'10"/6'11" swingman in the NBA with that type of quickness?

    What about speed and weight? I read somewhere that James ran a 4.3 40. He's also grown at least an inch and is around 270 lb. Lets just say that James can absorb contact alot better than the other 2.

    Choo Choo train, let me tell you something, Yao doesn't dominate every possession, cause he loses the ball half the time. 2nd Yao does set up his teammates by the other team doubling him, and he kicks it out to his teammate for the three. When he's out there he's opening space for our shooters and making the game easier for them. So he does make his team better because of it. So go watch some more rockets game and get at me baby boy.

    "And finally, Yao finally get to the 2nd round of the playoff just because Tmac did not play? Its as much fault on Yao as it is on Tmac when Rox cant make it pass the 1st round. "

    And what does this has to do with my Durant argument?

    he's a good scorer, but he will never be better than lebron, I'm just laughing at "can handle the ball like a point guard" when he averages 2.8 assists. he's not a good ball handler, he's an OK rebounder at best(should be better since he's 6'10).

    btw all I saw in the video was street ball with no defense whatsoever.

    You do know assists have to do with passing the ball and not dribbling it, right?

    So Yao help Rox by being able to open space for the shooters despite averaging 14 attempt a game. Despite his flaws, we can all agree that he make his team better.

    While Durant as the Thunder leading scorer, 3rd in total rebounds, 3rd in total assist(astonishing but surprisingly true), 2nd in total steals as well as lead the team in blocks made, only make the team weaker.

    While that statement about Tmac is made due to you ranking Tmac as 2nd tier player just because he have no playoff records.

    Oh, and you somehow manage to neglect the point that you absolutely have no idea that The Human Highlight Reel is such a good player. Nice talking to you. Bye bye.

    ok but can he post up with his frame
    Can he carry a franchise on his back to the playoffs himself
    That remains to be seen and his first step

    For those who remember the 80's and 90's: Tom Chambers.
    Durant is more athletic, but Chambers was no slouch.

    I'm tired of arguing about this. I still think Durant is a selfish player until he proves me wrong otherwise. And for the people who disagree with me, we can agree to disagree. And to be honest I could care less about Durant. He's no Rocket no care. Lets move on and cheer on the rockets to be in the John Wall sweepstakes.

    How is he selfish? He's on the bad team, he's going to put up monster numbers. :confused:

    Everything seems about right but the 40+ inch verticals on both mcgrady and lebron are incorrect. It would mean with out any gather, basically a straight jump lebron could touch 12.5 feet and mcgrady could touch 12.67 feet.

    Lol, I'm just arguing for the sake of it just because of your name callings. And 1 more thing. You really need to know your basketball, its not based on personal opinions. And I cant really understand on how a real basketball fan will want to see his team lose for the whole season when the roster is not even set.

    I said he was selfish. Never did I say he doesn't have skills. He have awesome shooting and scoring skills. Does he have awesome leadership, playmaking skills? I would say no, But he's still young and can improve in those areas.

    Not wanting to set up your teammates is different from being unable to set up your teammates do to a lack of playmaking ability...
