Prime George Gervin vs. Current Kevin Durant

[Lebron23]

Who's the better player? Two of the best scoring forwards in NBA history.

This is a total joke. Durant absolutely shits on Gervin in every single facet. Scoring, Rebounding, Passing, Defense, Portability, you name it. Durant's in the midst of a top 10 regular season in NBA history

What is 'portability' in the context of basketball?

Durant has a backpack which he uses to carry his laptop. It's very efficient and he used to have them in press conferences. Learn some history.

KD pretty comfortably, but in 2 years there won't be any room for discussion

You can put him in several different roles on several different teams and he will fit in just as well. For instance, putting LeBron on Durant's role in OKC would make him a fraction of the player he can be on Miami where he has the ball in his hands every play. Durant on the other hand can fill just about any role, for his position, and do it at an all time level

That's versatility, not portability.

USG rate is % of your teams FGA+FTA you take throughout the game. It has NOTHING to do with how long you have the ball. idiot.

It's portable, though.

Usage rate isn't the same as touches/ball dominance, though. It only concerns itself with how many possessions a player ends, not how often he has the ball in his hands.

Anyhow, no disrespect to Gervin, but Durant is several tiers ahead of him at this point in time. He's obviously not near LeBron's level yet, but he's playing like very few guys at his position have, in league history. KD is the clear choice, here.

Wrong. LeBron is a very versatile player, but he is not all that portable

Portability
1. Capable of being transferred from one employer to another.
2. Carried or moved with ease
