KD is CLEARLY the best player in the NBA
People want to just ignore he exists because of the Lebron fanfair and the fact that Durant went to the Warriors.
Durant has been at his peak and Lebron is old AF now. Durant actually managed to essentially play Lebron equally in the 2017/2018 Finals. I mean, imagine if it was Kobe who put up 35/8/5 or 28/10/7 on crazy efficiency in the finals? You wouldn't hear the end of it. But people just want to act like Durant doesn't exist.
Think about it, how many all time greats age 34 or older (Lebron's age) would you take over peak Durant? Maybe MJ? I can't think of anyone else.
Peak Durant is a top 15 player off all time and you could easily argue higher. Dude has been a killing machine at scoring since 21.

Funny how he joins a 73 win team and starts winning very amazing who would have guessed.
Jamie pull up the 2012 Finals and 2014 and 2016 playoffs please

He probably is, he'd have as strong an argument as anyone else. Clearly though? Unless he really separates himself this postseason, nah. Shaq in 2000 is clear, Durant is obv not on that level of separation

KD is nowhere near the best player in the NBA. Doesn't matter what he does on the most stacked team in the world. He needs to go to a team that is his own and prove himself. That is the only way he would even be in contension for best in the league.
Until then, he simply owns Bran's soul.

Not cleary as you said LeBron played him equally in the 2017/18 finals despite LeBron having a worse cast and garning more defensive attention.
Healthy LeBron is as good as anyone i don't care what anyone says

KD was just as dominant in the 2017 finals and maybe 2018 finals as 2000 Shaq.
35/8/5 on 70%TS in 2017?
Game 3 in 2018 Finals was one of the best finals performances since 2000.

And everyone was whooping Bran's ass before he colluded to multiple superteams.
Gotta apply logic both ways, otherwise it's just delusion.

That's not what I meant. Shaq in 2000 was an example of a player that was CLEARLY the best player in the league. Durant is definitely not on that level, a lot of people still don't even believe he's clearly the best player on his own team

In the playoffs, there isn't anyone Im taking over KD this year. KD has ALWAYS been number 2 in line once Lebron reached the end/exited his prime.
