Durant is the best player in the game

[Miserio]

Durant is not the best player in the league. Only thing he can do is score. But he is better than LeBron.

Yeah if he scores more than the other team he wins. So, that's pretty important.

[brisbaneman]

Only thing Dirk can do is score. What does Dirk have that LeBron, Howard, and others lack?

So what does that mean?

dirk does a shitload more than scoring

[Sarcastic]

yes he did and he absolutely dominated durant

Durant = playoffs?

His team did great in the postseason. I won't deny that.

Dwight rebounds and is a great defender. Kobe, Dwight, Wade, Dirk and Rose are better than Durant, but not by much.

Head to head 2011
Durant 31/9/4 61% ts
LeBron 21/6/8 51% ts

These 2 have NO argument over Durant at this point

Wow, so you don't think Dirk was dominant. He had a 40 pt and a 48 point game shooting 60% against your OKC Thunder. Not to mention he shot close to 60% for the entire series. But I guess it was due to all his superstar help, right? from shawn marion, tyson chandler, jj barea, and deshawn stevenson, eh?

Are you serious? Rose and Kobe run their team. Durant doesn't run his team. You take Westbrook out of OKC and let Durant run the team and let's see how good he does. He will not carry that team, he is not a playmaker. Westbrook takes a lot of Pressure off of him. Rose and Kobe are clearly better than Durant.

Dirk doesn't do anything Durant doesn't do. He's merely a better scorer.

Didn't Durant win the ROY award with one of the better rookie seasons since LeBron and Melo, while Westbrook was a two guard and third option for UCLA?

Wasn't Durant better in last seasons playoffs than both Kobe and Rose, while Westbrook struggled? Wasn't Durant significantly better than Kobe and Rose tonight? Again, while Westbrook struggled?

Didn't Durant post better statistics than both last season?

he's a great passer, good man defender, very good defensive rebounder and every time he runs the pick and roll it is an unofficial assist.

You seem to know very little about his game.

And Durant is better in transition, better utilizes screens, is an excellent help defender and a developing man defender, and is one of the better rebounders at his position.

I know enough about Durant's game. i rate him around 6 or 7 in the league.

[MASH Transit]

Not enough to know he's higher than 6th or 7th in the league.

[brisbaneman]
