2004 Kevin Garnett vs. 2014 Kevin Durant

[Lebron23]

Who do you think was the better player?

[Fudge]

KD. Not by much though.

[navy]

Garnett. Defense.

[KobesFinger]

I didn't know KG had so many tats. KG though for his advantages in defensive impact and rebounding

I could honestly see only one.

Easily KG. If you watched the playoffs, you would know who had the bigger impact.

KD takes vacations on both offense and defense.

Although throughout the season, KD was a beast.

[KyrieTheFuture]

Kg > Kd

Pretty much this. Plus KG was 24/14/5 throughout the season and his numbers only got better in the playoffs... and that doesn't even factor in his defensive impact.

[fragokota]

Tough one but i have to go with Kevin.

[masonanddixon]

obviously Garnett by a wide margin

[JohnFreeman]

KG

[Smook A.]

Both are great players but if I had to choose which player was better I'd probably go with Kevin Garnett just because of his defensive impact.

[jzek]

KG

[GimmeThat]

I would have said Durant confidently had he had a combined 2.7+ Stl+Blk this season.

Garnett was more valuable that season.

Because I rate Durant teammates defense worse than Garnett teammates offense.


Here's the curveball though

Westbrook(Thunders 2nd best player) only played 46 game this past season.
while the Wolves missed Wally Szczerbiak for the majority of the season


So, maybe Durant after all huh
