    I'm probably the biggest GOATbrook fan it is, but I had to let the moment fade away to make my choice. KD>Westbrook(Although in terms of talent the gap isn't that large as people make it out to be, if Westbrook was Kobe height it probably wouldn't be a debate)>>>>>Harden. Harden no defense, foul shot heavy game can't get him on that level to me.

    Durant gotta play defense and make teams pay for having lok guys guarding him. Stop settling for jumpers.

    Last year Durant averaged 32 on 50 percent shooting and guys he was guarding had one of the lowest percentages in the league

    Yall ? going stop talking out Yall ass

    My point stands my eyes saw Shawn Marion Tony Allen and other small players pushing him to the3 pt line during the playoffs.... I see harden westbrook and now Reggie Jackson balling when they get the opportunity. Durant needs to do what Dirk did and adjust his game imo.

    harden has played defense this year, stressbrook prolly the better defender but yall overrate his defense constantly, and b4 u say aint nobody gon shut down all them point guards lemme say..

    u right. but u can contain them for sure. cp3 much more consistent at that then stressbrook.

    as far as him being clearly better than harden... ? please, more like barely IF that. yall caught up in the rapture of triple doubles, when lebron was on this ? yall still wanted to say washed kobe was better.

    WISHY WASHY.

    ....now what?

    Wasn't really my point but if it was, I'd say you got me even though James still shoots a better percentage on the year and should be the one throwing up 30 shots a night with his options

    But my point for all the non crackers so you don't let this saltine distract you is to stop dickriding and listening to ESPN

    This ? have a inefficient decent stretch and ? threads like this get made

    Lol I been sayin this for 4 years

    Just had this convo with my coworker who was on that 'RW is a gunner' bs

    That ? had us so loud people in the hall heard. Im tired of nggas givin KD a paas and blame it all on RW. Kd geta bodied up to the point he cant get the ball sometimes

    Still, he is the #2 player in the league tho.

    Someone tell me how KD is worlds better than Harden tho? I'm not thinking about Russ, I think Harden is a better leader and can hold his own as well as KD... KD is the better scorer but that's relly it and Harden can score almost as well as him and plays the point

    Durant can atleast defend a little bit. Harden ehhhh
