2701946, LeBron by a landslide?

you don't think 5 kawhis would lock up 5 lebrons? kawhi with lock down D... Bron would have to shoot well and post up well....

2701949, Right today, it’s either a healthy Durant or Kawhi.

I could make serious arguments for both.

I *lean* Durant, but on a different day I’m sure Kawhi would be my favorite here. They’re both just so incredibly versatile. Kawhi’s the better defender, but Durant is the better shooter and passer. Durant also has a size advantage, so I lean that way. Today.

2701950, Kawhi is a pedestrian playmaker, and will get killed on the glass.

It's very clearly Lebron, then Durant.

Durant is really quite hard to guard one-on-one, but
Lebron's IQ in a full court is hard to bet against

2701951, Kawhi's not a great play-maker either.

Tremendous two-way guy of course - but LeBron James he is not.

lol my bad O.

2701966, I dunno about getting killed on the glass, he's a good rebounder

But yeah handling the ball and moving it would be tough as opposed to LeBron or even Durant.

2701974, prime bron is a MUCH better finisher too

2701977, Shit, I thought this poll was about TODAY. I'm still taking Lebron. Lol.
Posted by Orbit_Established, Wed Aug-21-19 02:48 PM

In his prime, this is a laughable conversation.

In fact: In his prime, I think 5 Lebrons beats 5 of
any player ever.

2701960, 5 melos

2701961, Better Melo team: 5 LaMelos, or 5 Carmelos?
Posted by Frank Longo, Tue Aug-20-19 04:38 PM

2701962, Better Melo: Cara- or Yellow?

2701967, RE: Better Yellow: Canary or Pee-Pee Tapes?
Posted by ConcreteCharlie, Tue Aug-20-19 09:26 PM

2701968, Better Pee Pee Tapes: R Kelly or Trumpito el huevito chiquito?
Posted by ConcreteCharlie, Tue Aug-20-19 09:26 PM

2701978, Better Kelly: Chip or Clarkson?

2701965, Maybe KD, the length on defense and scoring smoothness would be wild
Posted by ConcreteCharlie, Tue Aug-20-19 09:24 PM

I definitely see the five Bron argument though.

2701972, In halfcourt, it's probably KD. But for a full floor game? Lebron
Posted by Orbit_Established, Wed Aug-21-19 11:03 AM

n/m

2701983, That's an interesting wrinkle: half vs. full.
Posted by Frank Longo, Wed Aug-21-19 06:55 PM

I want to think on that.

2701975, It’s Bron and not close
Posted by LA2Philly, Wed Aug-21-19 01:16 PM

Nice to see the poll reflecting that

2702170, In their prime? (c) Lebatard or now?
Posted by Kira, Sun Aug-25-19 06:27 PM

In their prime: LeBron because he never got tired and had everything you want in a superstar player.

Now: Giannis off sheer common sense.

KD just suffered a career altering injury.

Old Man Bron is the NBA equivalent of a Fleshlight at the AVN awards, I have 0 clue what this award show is about.

Kawhi needs load management to be successful.

Meanwhile Giannis is young healthy and hungry
