why the KD vs Lebron Rivalry?

[mentallooser]

1] They are the 2 best players in the league right now
2] It makes for a great narrative. Two rivals who may meet in the finals who are putting up superhuman performances.

Whats so funny? Durant is much more skilled offensively than LeBron

[JUDGE WITNESS]

Because they are the best players in the nba that play the same position.

nailed it

[Black and White]

You don't think so??? It's true you know, Bron doesn't have the skillset that Durant has on the offensive end.

Durant is taking the reigns from Lebron eventually.

It's the young hungry malnourished lion trying to dethrone the king of the jungle for supremacy.

How does 1 take "reigns"?

Lol Kevin Durant is a better basketball player than Lebron, and don't use the rings argument. You Lebron fans tried to build a Kobe vs Lebron rivalry even before he won anything.

Just relax, and watch KD buss dat ass tonight

Durant is a better shooter than LeBron. LeBron is better in literally every other aspect of offense though. Even if you give shooting the most weight, it's certainly doesn't outweigh everything else combined.

Durant is better from 3pt, mid-range, he's becoming a very good passer (not on Brans level yet), his finishing around the rim is elite,

TBH on offense LeBron is only clearly better at his post game.

Yeah, LeBron was having statistically superior seasons to Kobe every season though. Durant has yet to accomplish that once. Even if LeBron had 0 MVPs and 0 rings like KD, there would still be no argument. If they both won nothing, LeBron still is statistically superior every season they've both been in the league.

Lebron is clearly a better playmaker...other than that though, KD has him beat, hence the better player and MVP.

Shooting is a big part of a players individual offensive game, but now you can see that his handle is great, he is able to break guys down 1 on 1, LeBron is elite when he plays team ball, thats where his strengths are, but individually, Durant is better offensively.

Yep thats what I said
