Flashback when Stephen A Smith said KD going to warriors the weakest move ever by a superstar. Ever since KDs mom screamed at Stephen A he sides with him all the time it’s so annoying.

[@josueguillen4111]

He ain’t wrong though. The reason why it was so weak is cause SAS knows how good KD is and found the super team unnecessary. He needed to get away from Westbrook, but any other place would’ve been more of a power move than KD

[@harikrishnan204]

The debate should be LeBron vs Steph Curry....I never see Lespn including steph curry in literally any of their arguments. The disrespect is unreal. I don't see any kevin Durant vs Lebron james rivalry. Last I remember was KD got a free ride to the finals with the all time great team that steph curry created. STEPH CURRY VS LEBRON JAMES WAS AND IS THE ONLY REAL RIVALRY KEVIN DURANT PLAYED WELL IN THE FINALS DOESN'T MEAN HE ALL OF A SUDDEN BECOMES COMPETENT TO LEBRON.

Couldn't agree more, best answer ever

[@KCRookie]

In offensive skill, KD has a slight edge. He is better all around fundamentally speaking. LeBrons edge comes from his physical characteristics. Mentally, ill give the edge to KD. LeBron at times backs down from the biggest moments. Example is against the Mavericks in 2011. KD is a killer and Lebron is not.

[@Lemadayslucas]

[@arush7519]

[@Somong]

I usually side with you, Stephen A Smith, but you went a little too far with this one. Correct, KD is one of the most top (offense) heavy specialists we've ever witnessed, and he might end as the greatest in that category. This includes Stephen Curry. BUT, he is NOT as well balanced as Lebron James. Not to mention he doesn't have the accolades or accomplishments. NO ONE has done what Lebron IS currently doing. This doesn't top MJ or any of the greats, as it should never! What it actually does is ESTABLISH Lebron's own legacy. Give him his own legacy so we can put the debate to rest. The comparisons always miss the mark.

Perk gotta leave man. MJ is the greatest scorer of all time. He's the GOAT. KD may look more effortless because of how tall he is and how he can just shoot it over people but MJ is still the greatest scorer of all time.

[@user-cr5xf9bu5f]

Carl Andrews Debatable. As great as MJ was on all levels on the floor, he wasn’t even in the league of KD when it comes to 3 point shooting. Then on top of that, add in the fact that KD is 7’0 and shoots the mid range just as good as MJ did (look at the numbers). Then on top of that, add in the fact that even though his game doesn’t depend on athleticism, he can drive to the basket and get a dunk or layup anytime he wants to over anyone he wants to with very few exceptions. In my opinion, KD is the greatest scorer of all time just because of the way he can put the ball on the floor and in the basket as good as ANYONE who ever lived, and he’s 7’0 and athletic.

[@carlandrews5090]

@@user-cr5xf9bu5f Yeah I guess there's an argument for that. I'm also a KD fan. I really enjoy watching his game. I think he's one of the best players to have ever lived.
