Not the better all-around scorer, he is a tougher matchup bc he can do everything. Mid-range, post up, posterize someone, great finisher like Curry and still a great shooter. Free throw shooting, isn't KD like 89% it's apples to oranges. KD still averages 5 apg and he isn't the main ball-handler. Curry can make some nice passes but KD is underrated. Better rebounder and he can post up. Curry isn't even the leader now or ever, Draymond was the vocal leader. KD spaces the floor as well. KD is all-around the better player and he has had the better career from the start. KD has a MVP btw.

Yeah KD is a better all around player than Curry that's kind of obvious. Doesn't take anything away from Steph, just to note that another guy is better. He's still great.

Put it this way, starting a team who would you pick first? It's close but it's KD.

To me, it's not that close, and it's because Durant is the consensus 2nd best player on the planet and has been the past 5-6 years.

Once LeBron starts slowing, I think Durant is the obvious choice to take over the throne.

Could be. Depends on where guys like Giannis, Westbrook, etc are.

Honestly think Kawhi will be the next to take over the throne. Unless someone else comes out of nowhere in the next few years which is always a possibility. Durant's prime will still have Lebron being at least 80% of what he is, and based on their track records I don't see a real shot of taking over Lebron's spot as Alpha of the league.

Well, imo LeBron will start slowing down next year or the year after.

I think that'll be right around the time Durant is in his absolute PRIME, and I don't think his reign as the best on the planet will last long, because a guy like Giannis or Harden could take it over.

I don't think Westbrook will ever be the best on the planet, just always around the top 5.

Since you guys are a lot more rational about the Warios and Steph, compared to most places I see on the internet, I will try to cool it with the constant Stephanie bashing.

Freak, Kawhi, Davis, KAT aren't far behind due to their age.

But, yeah....KD is the consensus for most.

But, I'd take Kawhi or Freak if I'm starting from scratch.

After 10 minutes of my moves, you would have thought you'd been shot in your crotch by a super soaker.

Tbh, If I was making a team, from scratch, you'd be the only one I'd want to start with.

The Warriors fans on this site don't take it personally.

At least RW defends...Harden WILL NEVER be the best on the planet at anything other than faking fouls. He takes the most F/Ts and isn't even the best F/T shooter in the league.

Definitely true about the FT's and D, speaking of FT's, Kawhi had 37 points in game and was 19/19 from the FT line lmfao

And now that I know he grabs/pinches guys' midsection regularly I see him in a totally different light.
