Whose better right now: Kevin Durant or Lebron James?

Lebron James.

Everyone knows Durant struggles against real defense or when the whistle isn't blowing. NBA made star.

[LongLiveTheKing]

Lebron

[moe94]

Kevin didn't get outplayed by Kawhi though.

Kawai outplayed LeBron?

Don't be so hard on russwest, it's not crazy to think there's a decent chance Durant will be the better player next season, it's scary how much he improves every year. Maybe even Westbrook will overtake bran


If not next year, then definitely the year after that.

The guy who gives u more options which is lbj. He and Durant both can score in a variety of ways but lebron can seal a smaller defender, body them up and spin past with a bump to finish.

This...Lebron has earned the right to be called the best in the world..but people are too quick to dismiss the fact that KD was outplaying Lebron for a huge chunk of the season. Dude put up 35/7/6/1/1 on 65% TS over 3 months, with a month of 36/7/6/2/1 on 68% TS..And his team was winning, a large part of it without Westbrook.

Lebron is better right now, which is what the thread asks for. But if we're projecting into next year, it's really not that clear-cut. If Durant improves his post game and increases his intensity on defense..anything can happen.
