@NOTSportsCenter: Kevin Durant makes 6 of his team's last 7 shots, media: "He's pretty good."
LeBron makes a layup in the 4th quarter, media: "OMG MVPPPP!!!!"

Tweet would work better if we didn't just watch Durant and the Thunder struggle terribly against a far inferior team in the Rockets last week. Or, you know, if LeBron wasn't very clearly a far better player than Durant.

LeBron, although I don't like him, is far better than Durant.

Defensively they were pretty awful most of the day relative to their typical performance. I actually think this might have been Hollins' worst game the entire post-season. They weren't doubling Durant, although there was a big there on most penetrations. But why do you drop the guard on the weakside to go with Prince and the big? The only way the Thunder beat you is if you let Martin get off, and you give Fisher open looks from 3. Griz allowed both of those things to happen, and they allowed Durant do whatever he wanted, except get all the way to the rim (which is fine with him). Meanwhile, Allen sat almost the entire 4th quarter despite protecting a lead. Asinine. |

Not to mention, the reaction wasn't "he's pretty good". It was, "holy shit, this guy is an absolute stud".

LeBron is better, people. If it wasn't obvious before now, just watch the games. |

The Rockets lost 15 games less than the Thunder, but OKC was also without their co-best player and making adjustments, and still beat them twice on the road. Miami beat a team Houston might be able to sweep while being 100% healthy. The tweet and your comparisons are both absurd. Everyone knows LeBron is a better all around player than Durant, but Durant is making the best out of a difficult situation.

It's the next version of Jordan vs anyone. People are going to argue about it just to blab.

I'm not sure Jordan ever had anyone as close as Durant is to LeBron. Zeke, Clyde, Kemp/Payton, Barkley, Malone/Stockton....Hall of Fame guys but none were ever really close. While LeBron is definitely the best player, Durant is a beast ---- and he's still only 24 damn years old (4 years younger than LeBron).

You at least have to mix it up. Prince, Allen, Pondexter, double-teams, etc. By the 4th quarter, he knew exactly what he could get and couldn't get. You just can't let a great player get that comfortable.
