Will Durant ever be the best in the league?

You think there's a chance that by the time that he's better than Lebron(because LBJ is too old) there will be a better player than him? He might never get a chance to be #1 .

Discuss.

I think he might win MVP this year. Dude had a 28 PPG 8 RPG and 5 APG 50/40/90 season and he still hasn't hit his peak yet.

Hell yea... he's like 24-25 he'll be the best in another 3-4 years maybe sooner if lebron can't adjust once his athleticism declines

[CelticBaller]

If LeBron blows his knee out before Wiggins hits his prime

[Spaulding]

Maybe...first Bron has to decline and when that happens who knows who else could be in the discussion

Durant isn't that far behind Lebron. The difference is mainly defense, and that Westbrook is the main distributer (so of course Durant isn't going to hand out as many assists).

The Thunder went to an unexpected finals with Durant at 23, they won 60 games minus Harden a year later.

I'm not seeing a huge difference. He probably will hit his peak in a couple of seasons when Lebron is 30-31 and has lost another step.

Nope, will always be a 2nd place loser.

[Fudge]

Next season he will be.

1. Kevin Wayne
2. Lebron Jame
3. Kobe Bryan

[Marchesk]

Nope, will always be a 2nd place loser.

You mean he won't take his talents elsewhere?

[Poetry]

I think he might win MVP this year.

I think so too.

[iTare]

I think so too.

Maybe because it would be weird to give it to Lebron 3 times in a row. I don't see Durant having better stats than Bron.

[Dionysus]

You mean he won't take his talents elsewhere?

No, because he knows he needs Westbrook to be his leader.

[Le Shaqtus]

I think it's a given.

I give LeBron a few more years of Dominance, then after he starts falling off I see Durant picking up the pace.

By this time Durant will be about 27-28 and should be peaking around there. Durant is 24 and is already this good, I can't wait to see how he evolves as a player as he gets older.

Silk will love this thread. "Will There Ever be a Durant Era?", or some iteration of that, was one of his favorite repeat threads for a few weeks earlier in the summer.

[Dionysus]

I think so too.

Well then you also think LeBron will die in a car accident. (trying to save someone from a burning car, saves their life but gives his own, might I add)
