There is nothing on the court that steph can do that durant can't but there many thing kd can do that steph. Mainly due to size. :yeshrug:

I get what you're saying, but I also think that's what makes Steph so special. He doesn't have the luxury of being tall and talented.

And that's not discrediting KD at all

:mjlol::mjlol::mjlol:


Durant can shoot and dribble as good as Steph Curry? :mjlol::mjlol::mjlol:
I mean Kd himself is shooting 44% from 3 this year. I don't think anyone would argue about steph being a better shooter, but KD is a top 5 shooter ever too probably. As far as passing, the gap is negligible. What KD provides on defense and his size makes him superior. Theres a reason KD has 2 final mvp's and Steph has zero, KD is simply harder to stop and teams have more success trying to fluster steph.

KD is shooting 44% on 6 attempts with much better space and less defensive attention

Steph is shooting 43% on 12 attempts

Steph was shown way more attention on defense than KD was. Ty Lue even admitted this.

And the reason Kd has two finals MVPs IS because of Steph Curry :camby:

And that's because its easier to eliminate steph's skillet. Steph can't just shoot over anyone like KD .

And KD won finals MVP because he was simply the better player. More efficient, elite defense, and he hit all the big shots.

Let’s not act like KD hasn’t missed over half the season

:mjtf: nikka what



KD would have 0 Finals MVPs right now if he didnt join Steph. 0


Since Kd was so much better and there is 0 argument, explain to me why that same Warriors team was so much better in games that Steph played without KD vs KD without Steph.

Steph is better than Durant this year. Healthier, and putting on better numbers on better efficiency, with all the attention coming at him on a nightly basis :yeshrug:

Steph’s career TS percentage is something Durant can only dream of. And I love KD, but Steph got it this year

Thats just your opinion. Him and Russ could've beat them if they added just average shooting. Regardless, KD was the best player on that team. I dont see how you watch those finals performance and think otherwise. :yeshrug:

Going by your logic, Shaq was better than Kobe on all of those Lakers teams.

I dont see how you watch those finals performance and think otherwise. :mjgrin:

Factually wrong. Might want to look at the stats again.
