Durant with 52 points on 65 TS% including game winner

Is europe building a statue?

They retired the jersey after half a season yeah.

I'm not blind and I do think LeBron is better, but if it's not close or arguable in your world then I'm not the one being blind.

The only thing Durant has over LBJ is shooting/scoring. That's it. It's even arguable that LBJ is a better scorer but that's another story. LBJ is better in rebounding, passing, play making, and most importantly what wins championships - defense.

amazing stuff.

I'm done with this argument. It's a lost cause with some of these fools. Apparently shooting>every other facet of the game

Lebron is Better there is no Argument as far as I'm concerned. If Durant Meets and outplays Lebron in Finals and OKC wins than let the Arguments Begin.. Until than Lebron is the CLEAR CUT #1

LeBron has yet to meet and outplay Kobe in the finals. There's nowhere that it says that's how you eclipse someone as a player. Durant is playing as well as you can this year. 29/8/4/2/1 on 52/41/91 is no joke.

The new KD-Whistle!!

FYI, last night Lebron had 39 points on a 72 TS%.

I also am confused as to how Durant had a 65 TS%. My calculations give me a 61 TS%. He had 52 points on 42.5 true shots.

I believe 2 FT's aren't counted as exactly one true shot though, so maybe that is where the discrepancy lies.

Durant really turned it up in OT. Great, but not one of his best games, he missed shots he usually makes.

In any case, Lebron is visibly the better player, and more deserving of the MVP (which has nothing to do with who the better player is).

Yeah, 2 FT are counted as .86 shots, not 1.

There really isn't right now. Durant is the better scorer, but LeBron is almost better at everything else. Coming from a Durant fan.

But KD is the MVP to me right now, atm.

Why not the other way around? Why hasn't Kobe met LeBron in the finals?

[Smoke117]

Not really an impressive 50 point game at all and like some others have said...Lebrons game last night was better.

Last time I'm posting about this.

Rebounding- Close but slight edge to Lebron

Passing- Lebron, not even close

Leadership- Lebron. He's like a linebacker out there. Listen to him when he's mic'ed up

On ball defense- Lebron

Off ball defense- Lebron

Versatility- Lebron, can play or defend at the 1-4.

Although this game KD just had shouldn't be enough to topple the game lebron yesterday had which was much better I agree KD should be MVP right now but that doesn't make him the better player not even close.
