Durant's a much better defender, more efficient, and isn't as ball dominant.
You trying too hard man.
Carmelo plays on a shitty team and is seen as a 'cancer' or a 'chucker' because he takes far more shots on a lower percentage because the rest of his team is incapable of scoring. Durant plays on a team with 3 great playmakers and good/great bigs. That's really 90% of what it is. Durant is probable does have a bit better shot selection but it's not as big a difference as some people make it out to be.
So you've never seen KD shoot? The special part of Durant's game is being near 7-feet tall while possessing a guard's skillset while Anthony's strength is being an SF with the ability to post and overpower defenders. They aren't completely different but aren't all that similar either.

lol thats not it at all.
Its quite evident that Durant is the:
Better Scorer
Better Mid-range & 3pt Shooter
Better Finisher
Better Ball Handler
Better Off-Ball
Better Re-bounder
Better Facilitator
Better Defender
KD play's defense and his strength is shooting and shooting over people
Melo dosen't play defense and his strength is posting up smaller defenders at the 3 position, or being too quick for 4's to guard with his faceup game.
Do you think Lebron and rudy gay are the same player too? Or are you just saying this because of your lebron-fondling agenda?
pauk.

Lebron is a clone of prime T-Mac....except he's a worse outside shooter :banana:
Durant is a lot better than Melo
:rolleyes:
Durant is the greater player.
1) Better scorer period. Melo had stretches where he just tears the league up with points. BUT, we're talking about a month or two at best. Durant led the league in scoring 3 times. Durant has been the better efficient scorer too. Taking less shots to score more points. Durant has a better three point shot while Melo has a better post game. Bottom line, Durant has been the better scorer the past three seasons.
2) Better defender. Self explanatory.
Melo is a very very good player in his own rights. But Durant's just great.
To me, Durant has been better than Melo about 4 seasons ago. And i started out as a Melo fan but his lack of work ethnic and improvement over his career just lost my love for his game. Melo does not work hard like Kobe or Lebron, and therefore, can not be compared to them once their careers are all over. It might not even be close.
Loving this thread.:lol
Durant is much closer to Lebron than Melo is to Durant.
Melo has a better post game and thats it.
:roll:
Serious? KD is considered to be better than LeBron to some. Don't get bitter now.
