    Re: Durant as good--or better?!?!--than...

    What's so hard to understand about the article.

    It seems like only one person in here doesn't understand it

    The article alleges that KD could be as good or better than James right now.

    It's cut and dry.

    The KD bandwagon was strong like two years ago BTW, by now I'm sure it's much fuller these days

      Ya'll got it man. My apologies for thinking anyone would dare challenge our almighty Sovereign Leader for his throne. How silly of me and I should be ashamed of myself for even thinking such a thing could ever happen.

          I don't get this whole bandwagon thing like he's under the radar. He was the number 2 pick in the draft, it's not like he was undrafted and is just now getting a chance to play or that people don't know who he is.

            .. I'm sayin though

            Dude came in and there was already a large sentiment that he and Oden were "the next big things for basketball"

            There was also a ton of messageboarders who swore up and down that Durant should have been the clear cut #1 pick.

            After last year it was clear that the kid is going to something special, the bandwagon was pretty much full by midway through last year.

              Most people don't know or respect Durant's game. They think he's just a shooter and all kinds of ridiculous ideas. Even as a shooter, despite the jump in his percentages, people rule him out as one of the top shooters in the league. The bandwagon knows. The bandwagon always knew. The rest of ya'll will find out.

                    Actually I wasn't, EC. I explained how I took it as he was saying, or in my eyes trying to say, he could be on his level in a few years or whatever. I just chose not to look too hard into his words.

                    But F it, I wasn't trying or was even planning to make this bigger than what it even should be.

                      Not really getting into this, since I think people are bored and arguing just to argue from the beginning of this topic. And yeah, I only post here, and I can name the list of people on here who don't know, understand or respect KD's game.

                        Fair enough, the article posted fits into the "let's write something to get hits" mold, which had the predictable results across message boards.

                        I'm not exactly sure, but I believe Sam Smith is known for this sort of thing? I could be wrong.

                          Why do you go to this every time someone sticks up for LeBron?

                          Ya'll got it man. My apologies for thinking anyone would dare defend against the almighty yet unheralded young savior who through purity and humility challenges the demon lord for his throne. How silly of me and I should be ashamed of myself for even thinking such a thing could ever happen.

                          On second thought..its kinda fun.

                            Kevin Durant is already a better shooter than LeBron James could ever even dream of being. However, James pretty much trumps him in every other aspect of the game. LeBron is a better rebounder, defender and passer than Kevin is and can drive the lane like nobody else in the game. LeBron is also probably the second best person in the league at drawing fouls besides Wade. I think Durant will eventually score more points per game than James, but LeBron will put up 7 rebounds and 7 assists to go along with maybe a point or two less per game than Kevin.

                            The bottom line is, Kevin Durant is already an elite shooter and scorer in the league and may one day be a perenial league leader in points per game. However, he will never be the all-around player that LeBron James already is.

                              Yes, I do that ALL the time man, Whenever someone sticks up for thy King, I always come and spoil all the fun and talk about nothing but the bad things he does.

                              "BOO KING JAMES!!! BURN DOWN THY KINGDOM AND REVOKE THEE OF ALL ROYAL DUTIES!!!!"

                              I figured you'd enjoy it as well though. :-))
