They are two totally different players. If you replace Durant with LeBron on the Cavs from the last few seasons they wouldn't have won so many games or made it as far in the post-season. Why? Because there is no way Durant could lead a team with virtually no true PG. LeBron got his 30PPG but his team also needed him to throw in 7-8 assists as well for them to win. Durant can't do that. On the NBA level? No, it doesn't. If that was the case Melo would have been considered a better player than LeBron after the 2006 WC's, and both LeBron/Wade would have been considered much better player than Kobe after the 2008 Olympics despite Kobe's strong 4th quarter in the Gold medal game. Hell, Rajon Rondo was widely considered the best PG on Team USA's roster before this summer began yet he couldn't even find time on the court once the exhibitions rolled around. http://www.82games.com/0910/CSORT11.HTM Look at that and tell me who has the better scoring touch at the end of games. LeBron nearly doubled Durant in clutch scoring last season and shot 13% better. If you want to be totally blown away, look at how Bron averages nearly double the rebounds, 4x the assists, the same amount of turnovers, 3x the amount of blocks and 3x the amount of steals as Durant in those situations. Give me a break. Huh? LeBron had 1 really bad playoff game. His next game, which he supposedly threw in the towel, he had 27/19/10. That kind of statline, despite the iffy shooting percentages, would have cracked Durant's top 5 all-time games. For LeBron, it's looked at unfavorably. Durant has proven NOTHING in the post-season yet, and his one appearance was underwhelming. LeBron's career post-season averages are 29.3PPG/8.4RPG/7.3APG/45.9% shooting. He has been to the ECF twice and the Finals once. http://www.seanpaune.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/koolaid.jpg
