@josueguillen4111 3 года назад

He ain’t wrong though. The reason why it was so weak is cause SAS knows how good KD is and found the super team unnecessary. He needed to get away from Westbrook, but any other place would’ve been more of a power move than KD

@harikrishnan204 3 года назад

The debate should be LeBron vs Steph Curry....I never see Lespn including steph curry in literally any of their arguments. The disrespect is unreal. I don't see any kevin Durant vs Lebron james rivalry. Last I remember was KD got a free ride to the finals with the all time great team that steph curry created. STEPH CURRY VS LEBRON JAMES WAS AND IS THE ONLY REAL RIVALRY KEVIN DURANT PLAYED WELL IN THE FINALS DOESN'T MEAN HE ALL OF A SUDDEN BECOMES COMPETENT TO LEBRON. ONLY PURE SKILL WISE DURANT IS BETTER THAN CURRY AND LEBRON. THE RIVALRY IS STEPH VS LEBRON Y'ALL BETTER PUT SOME RESPECT IN HIS NAME

@knucklesaukuso5086 3 года назад

What has KD done that makes him one of the GREATS not including Joining a 73-9 team that won a chip without him and was up 3-1 against them to being knocked out from them and then the following year joined them just to beat one person in LEBRON JAMES get at me with your answer oh no wait there isn’t one lmfao

@Somong 3 года назад

I usually side with you, Stephen A Smith, but you went a little too far with this one. Correct, KD is one of the most top (offense) heavy specialists we've ever witnessed, and he might end as the greatest in that category. This includes Stephen Curry. BUT, he is NOT as well balanced as Lebron James. Not to mention he doesn't have the accolades or accomplishments. NO ONE has done what Lebron IS currently doing. This doesn't top MJ or any of the greats, as it should never! What it actually does is ESTABLISH Lebron's own legacy. Give him his own legacy so we can put the debate to rest. The comparisons always miss the mark.

But he also was average size. Just with abnormal athleticism. Everything they credit lbj for, the passing and assists. Mj was doing to about 89/90. When pippen became established to lessen the load

@karanvirgill9013 3 года назад

Jiron127 but you look at what MJ’s ability to score led to...6 rings. While KD couldn’t win without 2-3 other all stars. No disrespect to KD I know what u mean but even though he has the size, the shooting And finishing, he hasn’t been able to win without the 73-9 warriors team. But if he does it next season with Kyrie, I will consider him as one of the top 15 greatest to ever do it.

I'm not a believer in Lebron as a Defender. I know that he played way better defense this year. But I can't ignore the last several years of how he played defense so I'm given KD the edge on that. No one in the league is a better passer than LeBron which if we're being honest by the way leads to a lot of turnovers that LeBron does make. He's probably a top 10 rebounder. But that's about it kind of sounds like a wash to me

@user-cr5xf9bu5f 3 года назад

Carl Andrews Debatable. As great as MJ was on all levels on the floor, he wasn’t even in the league of KD when it comes to 3 point shooting. Then on top of that, add in the fact that KD is 7’0 and shoots the mid range just as good as MJ did (look at the numbers). Then on top of that, add in the fact that even though his game doesn’t depend on athleticism, he can drive to the basket and get a dunk or layup anytime he wants to over anyone he wants to with very few exceptions. In my opinion, KD is the greatest scorer of all time just because of the way he can put the ball on the floor and in the basket as good as ANYONE who ever lived, and he’s 7’0 and athletic.

@carlandrews5090 3 года назад

@@user-cr5xf9bu5f Yeah I guess there's an argument for that. I'm also a KD fan. I really enjoy watching his game. I think he's one of the best players to have ever lived.
