LeBron James

Why such a huge gap between their rankings when there's only a 3 year age difference? Please provide an explanation. And where do you see Durant's ranking in 3 years?

Kevin Durnat hasnt won a ring and ths the only thing holding him back

Lebron has been in the league like 10 years
2/5 tho

[IncarceratedBob]

Two years can make a huge difference.

Post 2011 Finals, LeBron wasn't even considered a top 50 all time player.

Back to back rings and now he's certified top 15 and climbing.

If Durant wins back to back rings then what? He'll be a year younger than LBJ is now but with the same amount of rings.

[Budadiiii]

It's closer to 4 years than it is to 3.

Durant is a baby compared to old man Bron, and is already the better player.

Led the league in PER, WS, and won the MVP.

[J Shuttlesworth]

Honestly, because player rankings are generally ****ing stupid. Everyone bases this shit purely on ring count, and what area you are in. Realistically, there aren't 20 players I'd take over Durant. He's that good. Durant could play nearly the same as he did last year, and put a competent coach behind him, and he could have a ring.

[SOD 21]

Evidently, Kevin Durant has become underrated then.

When I fast forward five years from now and where I expect Kevin Durant to be in his career: 2-3 MVP's, 6-7 scoring titles, 10 All NBA first team selections and a couple of championships.

If he does that and continues to average nearly 30 points a game with his elite efficiency, then he will easily be a top 10 or 15 player all time. Time will tell.

Duf4get is a Lebron stan and a troll if everyone dosnt know by now

LeBron was in the Malone/Barkely level of top 20 by his 7th season so idk what you're talking about

This.

[imdaman99]

After 2011, we weren't sure if bran would ever ditch his choking label. So give it time, troll.

Then by that logic, if Durant were healthy and won the MVP this year while losing in the Finals he would also be in that echelon. Afterall, this would be the LeBron-Durant matchup after 8 years in the NBA

NBA Finals
LeBron 0-2
Durant 0-2

MVP's
LeBron 2
Durant 2

Scoring titles
LeBron 1
Durant 5

All NBA 1st team
LeBron 5
Durant 6

All Star
LeBron 7

Other than the the fact LeBron put up MUCH better stats than Durant his first 7 years, and had the same postseason success with a severely inferior cast, yes you are correct



First 7 NBA Seasons:
LeBron- 15,251 Points, 3,810 Assists, 3,861 Rebounds.
Durant- 14,851 Points, 1,882 Assists, 3,751 Rebounds

Much better stats + 1 more MVP + same success with a much much worse team >>>>>>>
