Bigger gap between Bron and KD or KD and #3 in the league?

[RoundMoundOfReb]

Durant has never even been a decent rebounder let alone close to Lebron. He is flat out terrible at crashing the boards, and one of the worst I've seen at boxing out.

For as great a player as he is, he absolutely has some of the worst off the ball instincts in the league, particularly on defense. If he isn't guarding someone with the ball he looks lost.

This is very true...His team defense is terrible...On-ball he's great.

You can't be serious. Guy puts up 32-7-6 on 60%+ TS while leading his team to 59 wins in a brutal conference despite not having his All-Star sidekick for essentially half the season, and also just finished up a 5-season stretch averaging 29-8-4-1-1 on 49/38/89 shooting on a perennial contender, and he's not a superstar?

He'll probably just say some BS about the refs making him a superstar.


Anyway the answer is easily the gap between KD and the 3rd best player.

lol didn't LeBron only have like 1 offensive rebound before the ECF or some shit this year. Durant alone has had multiple playoff performances where he goes for like 40 points and 14 rebounds. He's done it vs the Grizzlies, Clippers, and Rockets.

yet again LeBron getting overrated as hell in an area the instant the stats don't support the hype

[NZStreetBaller]

Is there a concensus third best player in the league right now?

not really hense why the gap between 2nd and 3rd is obviously bigger then the two MVPs

He's usually just an irrational, over the top Ibaka hater, but apparently it's trickling down to Durant now? How anyone with a sane mind can essentially label Durant as just a "very good All-Star", and not a superstar, is beyond me.

By naming PG the 3rd best player in the league OP just shows the level of retard you need to possess to even claim #2-#3 is closer

[dubeta]

We dont even know if Durant is the best player in his team, we need to figure this out first before comparing him to bran

[NumberSix]

I don't think KD is top 2

Ok, let me give this a try.

I don't think LeBron is top 2.

[ReturnofJPR]

Nah not really. Its a tossup between a handful players really.

Just to think Rose could be top 3 if healthy.

I'd say Melo, Westbrooke, Griffin would be in the mix for the 3 spot...arguably of course.

Rose will be the best player in the NBA if healthy, he's the youngest MVP ever

lol right, what is this dipshit trying to say, that the majority of ISH has it rated as

1. Westbrook
2. Durant
3. LeBron
