    Kevin Durant is either too humble or has no self-confidence... he keeps admitting that he'll never be as good as LeBron or Kobe. saying things like "its safe to say LeBron will be MVP for the next five years". He should be saying things like "Yeah I'm gonna do my best to get an MVP"

    KD is simply telling the truth. He's not as physically gifted as LeBron/Wade/Kobe/Melo.

    What is so interesting about that?

    I don't think he lacks confidence I think he is just real humble and doesn't want to say something that could stir up drama.

    He's just humble. Anyways I like the fact that he stays connected with his fans look at all the tweets he wrote. In fact he had a Ustream tonight which unfortunately I missed. :(

    I wonder how tall he was in 3rd grade. I don't think I have ever seen a 3rd grader dunk.

    For his health (to avoid injuries) I don't think he should mess around too much with his playing weight either. If the lack of bulk puts a ceiling on some of his ability so be it, he's already got tons of physical and basketball talent to work with.

    Not like I care anymore, but just want to point out the grief Tmac got when he said the Bryant was the best player in the league.

    Now Durant does the exact same thing and people praise him for it instead of calling him soft, without a heart, lazy,etc.


    I guess it really does depend on how you say it, and not what you say.

    u cant really compare the 2. KD n tmac r polar opposites personality-wise. in fact he KD kinda poked fun at the whole "it's on me" thing which wouldve been legendary if he delivered. unfortunately, we all know how that turned out.

    I don't see the connection. He's talking about his body type, not his performance as a player.

    I was referring to his tweet that LBJ will be the MVP for the next 5 years.

    Anyway back on topic, I think he can use some muscle. I mean, he doesn't have to be ron artest, but as we can see from his predraft workout he needs more strength to enable him to finish even with contact. If you're the thunder you gotta like the fact that your franchise player is much complete though. Once he started playing good D durant has very few holes left in his game. Maybe some post moves? But I'd like to him have some flesh on those bones before he starts banging around.

    yeah, but in this instance they said almost the exact same thing (LBJ's the MVP vs. Kobe's the MVP) and the responses of the people are completely opposite.
