Message: [QUOTE="MadDogRevival, post: 2230527, member: 8028"] Durant is taller, quicker, a better ball handler, a significantly better shooter, and a better defender. One on one, he probably destroys LBJ (along with everybody else)! The guy is amazing to watch. Like watching an oversized gazelle dart through a herd of wildebeests on his way to the green grass. BUT, he lacks in the one area in which LeBron excels - namely, LeBron makes everybody around him better. Much better. In fact, having LeBron at your side probably pushes you really close to your max output as a player. Durant? Not so much. 3.8 APG versus 7.0 for LeBron, career. I'm still butt hurt about this year. Would have been an epic GSW/Cavs fight - probably 7 games. Would have got to see IRving/James go against Curry/Thompson. Would have been great drama. Instead, we see Curry in a support role, at times, and Thompson flashing here or there. What a friggin shame. Worst part is, the rivalry, which would have been epic and would have been looking at a 4th year next year, is pretty much dead. Durant - sweet, sweet talent. But he's no LeBron. Gonna miss LBJ. Couldn't even stand to hear his name after "the decision." Thought that was super poor taste. Now, I'm lamenting the fact that we may have just seen his peak year or so, and he's going to be dropping off fast. [/QUOTE]
