How is Durant not the best SF in the game?

Wow those numbers are crazy good but lettuce be honest, LeBron is the best player in the league. I hate LeBron and love Durant but it's not even close.

Uh Pauk. LBJ defended Dwight like once that game... where he denied him the ball. So its a bit overboard to say he could guard centers like Pekovic, Bynum, and Dwight.

Unfortunately I have facts and statistic to back up each and every one of those eleven statements and you don't have any to refute them.

Won't that mean the your statements speaks more about you than about me?

You have "facts" to prove he would have more assists if he handled the ball more?

Stop calling everything you say a "fact"...it completely discredits when you present an actual fact.

LOL. If LeBron tried to guard Pekovic the whole game, he'd be covered in bruises the next day.

LeBron's stats are going down because he sits out of 4th qtrs now. The Heat are destoying opponents that badly now.

Still, LeBron is clearly the best in the NBA.

In Lebron's case sitting out 4th quarters is a blessing for his stats

Lets look at durant's stats.

Durant: 27.7 ppg, 52% FG, 8 rbs, 3 asts 1.3 stls 1.3 blocks while taking 147 threes.

Lebron: 27.6 ppg, 55% FG, 8 rbs, 7 asts 1.7 stls 0.7 block while taking 63 thress.


1) Durant is the better and more versitile scorer.

2) They get the same amount of rebounds at game.

3) About FG%: If you cut out both players three-point attempt, they would be shooting the same percentage.

4) About FG%: While Lebron and Wade are out there running a "track meat" as wade put it and cherry picking to the point its illegal. Durant isn't.

5) Half-Court Offense: I believe the last time I checked Lebron was shoooting in the 40s in half court offense while durant was still shooting in the 50s.

6) Assists: Though Durant's assist numbers are low, they don't tell the true story. Lebron handles the ball alot and is ball dominant while Durant plays off the ball alot and isn't ball dominant. If he handled the ball as much as Lebron does he would likewise have the same amount of assists.

7) We see multiple times when Lebron pounds the ball for 20 seconds and passes in order to get an assist.

8) Durant is clutch and has many memorable clutch performances this season alone including a game winner.

9) Durants stats are actually better than Lebron in his own team with a shot jacking westbrook.

10) They have the same record but the difference is Lebron is doing it on the most stacked team in NBA history (three players in their absolute prime) while Durant isn't.

11) Durant is by far the better defender per synergy stats.


You can't tell me Durant isn't the best. There is no one better, lebron is the closest though. Got to give him credit.

Look at the assists column. They tell the whole story. Lebron is a better team player.

Game over.
