Is Durant Really Better than Carmelo Anthony

[TiagoSimoes]

Id say its very close, Durant has been known as Poor man's Anthony since he entered the league, it has stayed this way until this year. The 30+pts streak he had was phenomenal this season, and he managed to take the Thunder to the best record in the league without Westbrook. Last season Id undoubtedly take Melo over KD, this season its a toss up and hard to give an edge to either one of them.

KD is considered better than melo for atleast 2 or 3 years, melo never never reached the level KD played at last season and even 2 years ago, let alone this season. Carmelo is great and all, but KD is an all time great. its amazing how far u idiots go to undervalue KD's game and skill

[TiagoSimoes]

ok during the timespan who had better? and even if okc didnt have the better record during that timespan, KD still led the team to nba's best record. how can u even downplay that

There never was a huge lead. Just an overreaction to scoring numbers which were frequently on poor efficiency.

50%+ FG for a shooter is now poor?

good efficiency is +55% according to lebron dick riders. especially if u only shoot layups

Because it's an 82 game season. I don't really care which team had the best record at the 56 game mark.

Besides, miami had a better record than OKC like 4 days later. Who cares?

Read better.

[Keno]

durant as an individual, is only slightly better than melo, but because his supporting cast and coaching staff is much better than melo's, his team has accomplished more.

Easily the dumbest fan base of any star player.

There is no other way to interpret the bolded, basically you said KD had many games of high scoring but poor efficency...what exactly do I need to "read better"?

Then why are you asking me if 50% is poor shooting? Are you under the impression that he shot exactly 50% in every one of those games? If not, what was your purpose of asking it?

[16X]

Durant's first Finals - 30.6 ppg 54.8 fg%

Bran's first Finals - 22 ppg 35.6 fg%

Durant only has to average like 10 ppg this upcoming Finals and his first two Finals will still be more impressive than Bran's.

You sure you want to compare Durant to Melo?

u said that alot of those games were on poor efficiency, which is a lie, most of KD's high scoring games were above 50%.

and yes okc's record at that time is really impressive because it was achieved without westbrook. too bad that u lebron **********s cant see anything good besides ur idol.

By you and only you. You're the only one that, for whatever ignorant reason, kept saying this bullshit over and over and over and over.
