why the KD vs Lebron Rivalry?

[DaSeba5]

I was breaking down different aspects of the game to explain why Durant being better at one part shouldn't affect you guys as much.

As I said, playmaking Bron > Durant, but other parts of offense, Durant is more skilled.

Such as what? I don't see how Durant is better in any category on offense besides shooting. Durant is a better FT shooter too.

I wasn't referring to Magic-Bird. I was referring to like MJ-Drexler or MJ-Barkley. It can't be a rivalry when the other team always wins. Every thing is called a rivalry. They called LeBron-Pierce a rivalry.

Duke-NC
Lakers-Celtics
Michigan-Ohio State
Packers-Bears

Those are rivalries.

Durant is entering his prime, and he has outperformed and beaten LeBron this season, I am pretty sure these two are rivals now.

Why don't you break down the different aspects of offense, because there isn't a ton of different things that Bron does better on offense.

They are. his mentality has has more to do with teams than actual players

[DaSeba5]

Who? links? :/

Whats so surpirsing about two of the best players being rivals? they're both aiming to top one another so why isn't a rivary? and are you actually saying Drexler wasn't Jordan's rival? jesus christ

Hardly. I have a strict criteria when it comes to rivalries. It has to be historically back and forth. Every time there are good players playing each other they call it a rivalry.

[Black and White]

What exactly these other parts? Durant is a better shooter. That's it, that's all.

How many parts are there to offense in your eyes?

Good, that's why the world doesn't revolve around you

[Black and White]

Then he clearly hasn't read the title of this thread

[DaSeba5]

Never said it did.

[CelticBaller]

Never said it did.

Just reminding you, the consensus is that they are rivals so anything you say that starts with "my" or "I" falls flat

I'll gladly be in the minority. I don't care. Bird-Magic played in the Finals several times. Clearly a rivalry. When it's Jordan winning every time, it's not really a rivalry to me.

Durant has better numbers this year....watching the games excluding "TEAM AWARDS" , Durant is on another level then Lebron...especially his offensive game..

Another level...right. A Kobe stan would say that.
