Giannis, not KD, has surpassed LeBron as the best player in world - Shannon | NBA | UNDISPUTED

Former NBA champion Kendrick Perkins has played with both LeBron James and Kevin Durant, so he’s familiar with both players. But recently he went on the record with a bold statement about where the two rank, saying quote : 'Kevin Durant is the best player in the world… I don’t really know if LeBron James even cares about being the best player in the world anymore going on to age 37 so it’s about time somebody finally stepped up to the plate and dethroned him because he’s been carrying the torch for so long.' Hear why Shannon Sharpe believes Giannis Antetokounmpo, not Kevin Durant, has surpassed LeBron James as the best player in the world.

Giannis is not the best, but he is on his way, n definetly is a top 5 player, n he is very close to other 4, right now theres not a dominant player like mj in the 90's, right now all players are so close to each other, the list goes by: 1.- kd 97 2.- lebron 96 3.- kawhi 95 4.- steph 94 5.- giannis 93 So theres only 4 decimals of difference between kd n giannis, n beware cos lebron is gona get back his throne this following season, my prediction is that that #1 #2 positions will change this oncoming season, they will switch

[@daijourcalloway998]

Shannon is a kd hater cuz he's always been a threat to dethrone lbj. So I don't like em. Giannis got a long way to go. Bron is overrated. Kd has been this good since rookie year. Came in adv. 25. Nobody likes to give kevin props tbh. Glad Giannis got his ring early. Cuz it's going to be a drought for a while. Kd has been the best in the league for a long time. Nobody would really say it cuz well Bron was there 1st. Now people wanna jump and give it to Giannis and skip kevin like Giannis didn't have his running mate and a healthy one at that all series long and still was a toe away from losing. Wen the game plan was K.D or bust. They did the same thing In golden state Wen kevin went down gave the nod to Kwail but all it really did was prove that the warriors really did need Kd. That's why raptor fans cheered Wen kevin got injured. They knew if kevin were to play this is a comeback and the warriors are going to win. No K.D= No Championship. Period. I know it. U as a k.d fan should have knew it the warriors knew it the raptors knew it. The nets know it by now everyone else should know what time it is. Goat status give him his flowers and respect. Giannis didn't really gaurd K.d cuz he and bud knows just like kobe he doesn't know how. Because u can't. Meanwhile until he gets a jumper u CAN GAURD GIANNIS! U just need the proper personal. Which the nets lacked. But Blake wasn't terrible as long as he cut him off on the way to the paint. Thing is he is big and strong if u even a lil slow its over. But if you on time ⏲ he has to kick or shoot u want him to shoot so sag on the Perimeter tighten up round the foul line. It's pretty simple. Make him shoot or make someone else take that shot

If anyone has ever truly been abandoned by his teammates, left with no help at all, it's Kevin Durant.
