    Default Is Kevin Durant on the level of Karl Malone,David Robinson and Barkley

    Is he as good as these superstars of the 90s or do you think he is better or worse.
    All had dominant mvp seasons.

    If he retired today he would be rated around those

    Durant and Lebron are both this caliber of player.

    Lebron specifically is a Karl Malone-level player who colluded to play with Drexler and McHale, with whom he only went 2/4.. He disappointed in the same way Malone would.

    Btw, the INSTANT Jordan got just 1 all-star, he went 6/6 with just a single all-star.

    Correct.

    This era doesn't have any real elite players like MJ, Shaq, Bird, Kareem, Wilt, Magic.

    Only second tier legends. Skill wise I don't even think Lebron is better than Barkley. His production would take a great hit in the handchecking 90s.

    KD's MVP season was as good as any of all time, excluding the playoffs

    I think of Durant more of an 80s scorer like Dantley or Chambers.

    Doesn't play both end of the courts.

    Not good enough for that level.

    I really like Durant though and if he becomes an above average defender and above average passer then I would say he is in that 90s tier.

    Better than 96 Jordan though, that's for sure

    Put it this way

    Kobe had to put up 28 shots to get 35 points a game

    Durant put up 20 shots for 32 points

    Pippen - 8 times All Defense First Team
    Rodman - 7 times All Defense First Team
    Kucoc - 6MoY


    How many times has Lebron played with guys who were getting awards like that while they were teammates?

    He already is that you ****ing retard. You don't watch any games. You didn't even know who Elgin Baylor was.

    KD is above average defender and above average passer for his position.

    Pay attention moron.

    KD had a noticeably down post season, and he still put up 30/9/4 on 57 TS% (Which is higher than Jordan's post season average)
