jesus christ man. how is this 2014 and it's STILL a debate?

it's durant, just like it has been for the past few years.

yes, melo has a better post game, agreed. he's stronger and lower and knows how to use it. but that's it, that's where it ends. so what if he can also jab-step 30 times and hit a contested jumper every once in a while too. so what if he has a move or two more in the repertoire. melo's supposed god-like repertoire isn't helping him out more than durant's height, shooting ability, iq, handle, his off-ball skills, etc.

even if you compare them on some "in the zone" shyt, kd STILL wins. so i don't get the argument for melo.

so you act like im lying when i say durant is the best pure small forward of all time :twin1:

then you tell me you don't know what a "pure small forward" is :twin2:

Because it's just a stupid statement that doesn't really mean anything. Lebron is a SF who plays PF because of the Heat's style of offense.

Magic is the best PG of all time but he'd be a SF in today's league even if he would the primary playmaker and ball handler. Is he not a pure PG?

What makes Durant a pure SF? Explain exactly what a pure SF is.

what is KD record against Melo, LOL @ this shyt cuz KD is on a streak right now, muthafukka plays with a top 5 offensive talent that impacts the game from him in a way Melo never has for KD played with Westbrook and fukkin Harden, shyt Harden is also in the convo for best scorer in the league.

It is easy to be efficient when you have another great player who will take those last second shots either at half or when the clock is running down or you can rest on offense because you have another muthafukka who can impact the game the same way you can. It is easy to pick and choose your spots when you have other great nikkas with you

I don't even know what a pure small forward is.
I know you're saying this based on his skill set but without actual ACCOMPLISHMENTS to back up that skill set he's still just Tracy McGrady status. An injury could happen tonight and we would forget about him by the year 2018.

So far, he hasn't done shyt that Julius Erving and Dominique Wilkins, Scottie Pippen Grant Hill or Larry Bird hasn't done.

Durant just started scoring 50 point games and now he's hands down a better scorer than Melo?:wtf: Who remembers what Melo did during the end of last season. :ohlawd:

Melo has a better:

midrange shot
Post game
banging in the paint game.

Three point wise they are pretty much identical except durant is more consistent and melo is more streaky.
Durant just gets way more foul calls and has a better handle.

Both finish well at the rim. Melo has size/strength and KD has length/height.

KD is better in transition and more efficient, but Melo is far more skilled and has more of a killer instinct. Plus he'd destroy KD in one on one. :banderas:

Yea put kd with Felton and JR Smith and see how good he is? Kd is playing the best bball of his career and finally stepping up as a big time scorer. Melo been scoring 40-50 easily for years. Both are equal right now. KD obviously has more talent and a higher ceiling, but with Westbrook will he reach it? :ohhh:

:what:

KD averaged over 30 points per game back when he was 21. Something Carmelo has NEVER DONE.

KD has 5 five season where he averaged over 27 points. Melo has 3 and Melo been in the league longer.
