Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

    Durant is still 28. This is when all the greats really start hitting their stride.

    As of now, Lebron is for sure better, mainly because of his durability and ability to bully his way to the rim.

    If I picked a team today I would choose Durant.

    If LeBron proves me wrong again then he's the GOAT.

    LeBron is simply a better all around player. He always has been and he still is.

    Durant has always been #2 though. Injuries, Curry, and Westbrook no longer willing to be #2 made his hype lessen, but he was still #2.

    People forget that Kevin Durant is only the fourth best player on the Warriors.

    He's better than McGhee?

    The title that was the fluke was 2015. When was the last team to play in the finals without it's #2 and #3 players? And still win 2 games?

    GS really needs a win this year to get that Mozgov-sized asterisk off their ring.

    No. He's better than KKKlay.

    This is becoming a tug argument. We can recognize LeBron's greatness and admit these Warrior teams, especially this one, are great teams.

    Great teams don't lose by a "fluke". They win. The Warriors lost. Game 7 at home and they lost.

    So far Durant has lost a Finals 4-1 and blown a 3-1 lead in the WCF. Now he is hiding behind the Big 3 at Golden State who are 1-1 in the Finals without him.

    Lebron is in his 7th straight finals, 8 total.

    Durant is clearly better. fuck

    If you haven't noticed that Tequilla hates LeBron, I can't help you.
    He's a great player but not my cup of tea ... I think he has some unique advantages that enable him to be ahead of many others from the word go similar to Wilt and Shaq ...

    For players that are just flat out genetically superior, I do think that they have a different bar to measure themselves against
    This is so fucking stupid. He's incredibly gifted AND is a basketball genius. Best passer in the league.

    This dude is so great you actually pretend like he wasn't incredible last game. And as incredible as he was, it was a routine fucking game for the guy.

    LBJ was the 3rd (at best) most influential player on the floor in Game 3 ... he also disappeared in the 2nd half ...

    Anything less than being the clear most influential player tonight = another Cavs loss
