Kevin Durant is the best player in the world.

[Primetime]

Tbh Shaq’s self-entitled “most dominant ever” tagline in the early 00s was just strategic rhetoric because he couldn’t call himself the greatest Laker ever, much less the greatest player ever.

He was (mostly) the best player in the early 00s no doubt, but he wanted something more historic and flamboyant than that.

So yea, why not come up with your own ambiguous title based on your Finals domination of Matt Geiger, Todd MacCulloch, Keith Van Horn, 35 yr old Dikembe, and geriatric Rik Smiths on one leg who literally retired 2 months after the Finals?

Example:
Shaq’s 2002 Finals vs Todd MacCulloch
(32ppg 12rpg 4apg, 30 PER)

Shaq’s 2002 WCFS vs Tim Duncan
(21ppg, 12rpg 3apg...15.9 PER)

Duncan that series: 29ppg 17rpg 5apg... 24 PER

Right now i go Durant Giannis Bron Steph and Luka as the top 5 provided all are healthy at least. Kawhi and Harden are close but Kawhi doesn't have the consistency of the top 4 with the injures and with the way Luka balled on him and George i can't put him over him either. Harden would be there but he can't seen to get over that playoff hump. Even if he doesn't get a ring just be what you are in the regular season ONCE and he shoots up my personal list.

Yall getting all warm and fuzzy from a Olympic gold medal.

Giannis 50 > KD 49

The Coli, where the guy ya'll say is the best player says "No, THIS is the best player in the world" TWICE and ya'll be like "No Giannis, you're wrong."

IVE NEVER SEEN AN USA OLYMPIC TEAM

​

THIS IVE SEEN THE REDEEM TEAM DEFER TO KOBE AND HIM JUST TAKE OVER THE GOLD MEDAL GAME BUT WE NEEDED KD TO PERFORM AT A CRAZY LEVEL TO EVEN WIN

Truth. I would say all of this in debates, and I’m a Lakers fan from the 80’s. And he wasn’t more dominant than Wilt and MJ, just for the record.

 

[King Poetic]

Best offensive threat in the nba period

How you the best player in the world but go 0-7 in OT and lose to a nikka with no bag?

There's a reason why Shaq is always talking slick about TD. TD always gave him that work. If Kobe doesn't kill the Spurs in 01 and 02, his fat ass would be sitting on 1 ring

My brain agrees it's Durant

Something in my gut feels like Bron is coming back for blood next year. Maybe it's just ironed in me at this point that everytime we think someone passed him he reclaims the throne. Eventually it'll really be the case and Bron won't be able to reclaim his thrown. I just feel like he hasn't played in awhile, he's rested, meanwhile these other guys have been playing nonstop ball and might be a little gassed

It’s not Lebron anymore. If we’re honest he’s about 3rd or 4th … maybe 5th and steadily declining. He may have a about 10-15 minutes of greatness a game left.

 

[Champ_KW]

A toe nail away from carrying a depleted Nets team to the Finals followed up by carrying an Olympic team with only 1 All NBA player on it to a Gold.....his first year back from an Achilles injury. People can have their personal favorites, but this guy is different from EVERYONE else.

Is 50 not more than 49??

 

[The God Poster]

I’ma go with the player that dropped 50 in the championship winning game.

Giannis got the crown until further notice

So you had the last 5 champions highest scoring player as the best?

 

[DrexlersFade]

KD got the leadership of a 20 year old

First page of this thread looks way different from this thread for some reason

KD led USA team loses to patty mills and 6 unknown auzis

That post didn't age well

Fool got a picture of Bron up my god these Bronsexuals are the NBA equivalent to Trump supporters.

 

[NYC Rebel]

KD missed Melo. Them dudes used to feed off of each other in the Olympics.
