Durant is the better player.
who is a better pure small forward?
I don't even know what a pure small forward is.
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:
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.
You have to be blessed with the sacred water. The light has to glisten on it properly too, else you get theI don't even know what a pure small forward is.
durant is the best pure small forward of all time
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.I don't even know what a pure small forward is.
LOLDurant just started scoring 50 point games and now he's hands down a better scorer than Melo? Who remembers what Melo did during the end of last season.
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.
Please don't disrespect KD but comparing him to that heartless chump.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.
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?
