LeBron-Durant rivalry

[28renyoy]

Is this the year it officially begins? Magic VS Bird happened when magic was 22 and bird was 25. Durant is 22 and LeBron is 26. It just seems like both of these teams will be matched up in the finals for a long time over the next decade.

It cant be a rivalry if the Heat are gonna win it every year they match up

Thunder won't ever be as good as Miami in this era

[Nastradamus]

The league would love it as a hero/villain storyline.

Lebron/Wade v. Rose and Lebron/Wade v. Melo/Amare are more likely due to conference.

Also disregard heat fans, they are intellectually inferior

Huh? I think they beat Miami right now in a 7 game series. Thabo,Harden and Westbrook will do a solid job on Wade and Durant has typically won his matchup with Bron. Westbrook will kill their PGs and OKC has much better size down low. Perkins and Ibaka are a great formula for keeping the big 2 out of the lane.

On a slightly unrelated not, man, I really think OKC should have signed Milsap when he was a FA.

Meh. The Magic Bird rivalry existed only because it was debatable who was better between them. There won't be a debate between LeBron and Durant for another couple of years when LeBron falls off, and by that time it'll be similar to the Kobe/LeBron "rivalry" now, where there's no actual competition between them other than the fact that Kobe was the best player, and LeBron is the best now.

Its nor fair doe. Lebron has Wade and Bosh.

The Cs/Lakers rosters were for the most part equal in the 80s

Durant has outplayed LeBron by a fair margin this season, but LeBron outplayed him Durants rookie and 2nd season

[TylerOO]

Durants TS% is better therefore he will win!

*******s.

[Eat Like A Bosh]

Nowhere close to Magic & Bird!

Don't count your chickens ... you still got to get past "The Diggler"

As far as the comparison between LeBron / Durant?

Would've been fun last year, given LeBron's skill set and playing style.

Now it would be boring as hell because he's slow, heavy and plays like a psuedo Power Forward ... in other words ... he's boring.

I'd say LeBron's basically a better-rounded Paul Pierce now.
