Is KD better than prime TMac?

[IncarceratedBob]

No way. Just look at how many playoff games T Mac won

Durant just isnt a good passer or playmaker. You will see when it matter, only thing is that you will blame it on everyone else. He just has zero feel for it. He is a scorer and rebounder on offense, passing just isnt his thing. He has gotten a little better but it doesnt come easy to him.

I agree with u! Durant certainly has gotten better at passing. And I think he qualifies as a very good all around player. But T-Mac was flat out a great all around player. Capable of playing PG, SG, and SF at very high levels. Durant is more of a SF who can play PF and SG.

The oldest argument in the book.. It's such a shame TMac get out of the second round because he always put his team on his back, his playoff numbers speak for itself. The first thing people bring up about TMac is his playoffs resume, but last time I checked you can't win by yourself. He never had Yao healthy with him except maybe for a couple years, and when Yao was healthy TMac wasn't. It's unfortunate, that duo could of been legendary.
TMac would of been top 15 all time if not for injuries.

I agree! T-Mac indeed had top 15 GOAT kind of talent. Before him, u never really saw an SG at 6'8 or 6'9 with his package of skills. It was damn near like combining Gervin and Penny Hardaway elements into one. He just had bad luck with injuries with himself and potential HOF teammates in Yao and Grant Hill. If Yao or Hill could have stayed healthy, that would have resulted in at least one ring for Mac.

Perhaps I should go back to the overrated players tread and add T-Mac. Durant is better. What are you T-Mac pickers basing your choice on?

[Jameerthefear]

Durant. If you say T-Mac then lol...

[Audio One]

What makes this debate somewhat legitimate, is that Tracy did his damage during the dead ball era right before the rules changes opened up for perimeter players, he does deserve credit for that

[Y2ktors]

I never got to see prime TMac but by looking at his stats, and from what I heard, he seemed like a great player. Is KD better?

Definitely.

[mr.big35]

Its easily KD he accomplished in 8 what tmac will never accomplish

[Bob Dole]

Lol at you dummies. This is easily Durant. I'll take this or last year Durante over any version of tmac or Kobe.

He's better at the most important thing at basketball than them, scoring high volume at an effiecent rate. He also does it within the offense, something those two suckers could never do.

Their slight(and I do mean slight) advantage in playmaking ability doesn't make up for his better scoring, rebounding, and just as good defense.

The only post-Jordan perimeter player who's better than this version of Durant is lebron(wade is a smidget behind Durant)

Now go eat your wheaties.

Let's not forget that when Kobe was asked who gave him the most trouble, he mentioned LeBron, Melo, Iverson, Durant but ultimately he chose... Tracy Lamar McGrady.

That was 5 months ago.

Durant's last two seasons alone have been better than any T-Mac season. In addition, the highest T-Mac got in MVP voting was 4th twice and had a couple 1st all NBA team selections. Durant already has placed 2nd in MVP voting three times and 5th and on his way to an MVP along with 4 1st all NBA team selections and a 5th coming this year. Durant is only 25 years old. This is not close.

agree

KD > T-MAc anyday. Can't believe people are picking McGrady
