Harden was simply incredible this entire year and he showed up big-time today. That being said, KD has shown that he is the best player alive right now. We won today because Harden basically matched him stat for stat (the lines are actually eerily similar). He will have to do that, or better, for us to take this series.
Nice to get off the deck. Hopefully everyone is healthy and ready at the jump for game 4. The warriors are definitely coming out swinging on Monday.
Lebron is still better than KD. Actually the guy in Milwaukee with the crazy name might be the best player in the league right now.
Durant is mainly a scorer. He's not good on defense. Not well rounded enough to be the best.
Ill give you Giannis, but Lebron barely had a winning percentage above .500 when he played this year. Yes his team sucked, but he didn't elevate them like a person carrying the title of "best player alive".
This board is crazy right now! When the first finals game tips off this year, it will officially break an 8 year streak of Lebron being in the finals every year since then.
2011-2018...... how many players in NBA history can say that?
If Lebron and Durant played 1 on 1, Lebron would kill him. Lebron is much stronger, better defender, and a much better ball handler.
I'm not even a fan of Lebron or any of his teams and I know that. He's the second best ever, behind Jordan. The thing that makes him the scariest is he literally has no weakness.
Durant couldn't hack it with the OKC thunder. He had to join a 70 win team to get his championships.
Lol. Do you remember how Lebron got his first championship?
You hate KD for going to the Warriors, but Lebron in the one who started this BS. He didn't have the ability to lead his own team to a championship so he formed a super team in the Eastern Conference - a place where you only needed to win 1 or 2 difficult series in order to win a ring. That being said, he was still clearly the best player alive during this stretch despite the fact that Wade was really the leader of that team.
Different story this year. He moved to a non-super star studded team in the Western Conference and he finished 10th!!!! If you read the fine print, a player is automatically disqualified from "best alive "conversation if he can't drag a cruddy team to the playoffs. Switch Harden or KD or Giannis or even Lillard on that team and you make it into the playoffs.
I don't care who wins in 1-on-1. Thats not real basketball. Lebron showed that he was a bad leader this year. He spent the whole year trying to trade every single one of his teammates that he forgot to win more than 40 games...
