Durant with Pippen's Defense or Nash with Payton's Defense?

[deja vu]

Shaq + Dirk would be the beast of all beasts.

So basically you think Lebron is greater than MJ? Hell you get also extra offense (passing/vision/IQ) with Lebron aswell....

lebron is no Pippen on defense. And Durant is a much better offensive player than Lebron.

Durant is definitely a better scorer, but NOT a better offensive player.

Durant is definitely a better scorer, but NOT a better offensive player.

I don't know a single player in the NBA not on the Miami Heat that would agree with this.

Lol at Lebron having Pippen's defense + Durant's offense. I don't know why people keep bringing him up every time.

Anyway, I would go with Durant + Pippen in that one. But Magic with Payton's defense would be the goat.

His numbers say otherwise.

You don't know any NBA player at all.

Easily KD

His numbers say otherwise.

Better scorer =/= Better offensive player.

I don't know a single player in the NBA not on the Miami Heat that would agree with this.

You don't know much of anything, so it's best to keep quite.

This is from Feb:

The previous ~25 games, Durant was averaging something ridiculous like 36/7/7 on 50/40/90.

Oh, and before you brush it off as "MEDIA!!!11111" and have a meltdown, you might want to read this part:

Here in New Orleans at NBA All-Star weekend, in preparation for the best pickup game you'll ever see, we polled various league executives, former and current players -- just about anyone with a link to the NBA who was willing to offer an educated opinion -- to get an idea of the game's best players today. And what we got were some surprises, some controversies and a rather reasonable top-10 list.

Deal with it, bro. LeBron is still the best player in the world.

^This guy actually believes that LeBron is Pippen + Durant + Stockton

sounds about right
