KEVIN DURANT is already a Top 5 player in the NBA.

[toheeb27]

He's in the infacy of his career.. he hasnt been consistent .. he is on is way to being among the best.. but Like you said in more words than i im abotu to say .. he is still in development

Thats where u are getting it all wrong. What he has been is the definition of Consistent this season. I understand where u are coming from though. U are old school, u want guys to pay their dues, before they get the props. I can roll with that.

But some guys are just so talented, u cant help but give them prop. By his 2nd year, Lebron was already in the top 5 in the NBA. After watching Lionel Messi for 2 seasons on Barcalona's first team, everyone could tell he was in the top 3 in the world.

I guess my problem is i have seen about 85% of his games this season, and the shit he does on the court is so amazing.

It's way to early in his career to rank him, but KD is that nigga he will definitely be a top NBA player when it's all said and done. I just hope he don't get injured because he looks so damn skinny, he needs to get some meat on his body to take hits in the paint by niggas.

top 10-15, but not 5..

yes that's about right

 

[af.r.i.c.a.]

co sign the T Mac comparison and yes i have watched him play for the last 4 years and he is top 5 behind James Kobe D Wade and Dwight he plays the thing that sets him apart from Mello is that he is a better defender

 

[af.r.i.c.a.]

yes that's about right

no way there is 10 better players in the game then the Duranchula

 

[plocc]

Get a little stronger for what? Ever hear of the "ice man"? KD is the second coming of the great George Gervin. Dude does what he wants, when he wants, from wherever he wants on the court. He's one of the few cats that can get what I call ghost numbers. U watching him play but when the 4th qtr come he got 30 plus and u didn't see it. A pure scorer.

 

[S.jR.]

I wouldn't say top 5, dude needs to step his defensive game up big time.. But based purely on his scoring abilities I'd say between 6-15.. Closer to the middle bottom half.

 

[mrdontplay]

if the argument is top 5 player RIGHT NOW then... yea.

kobe

bron

melo

dwade

....

durant

 

[makaveli03]

no order: bron wade cp kobe howard...top 5 howard could be switched wit melo and durant tho

 

[toheeb27]

Durant is now number 1 in scoring. With Jamison joining the Cavs, i dont think Lebron will score that much again. Should come down to a race btw Melo and Durant. (unless JR Smith decides he wants to score 16 in every 4th qtr.)

 

[playmaker88]

I think Kobe will have something to say about that before its all said and done.. and its funny that shit changes every month first few MONTHS it was Kobe and Bron.. kobe goes out for only 5 games.. Then it was Bron.. Now Durant.. scores 25 for consequitive games now its him.. I thought it wasnt about scoring.. (shrugs)

Carmelo has been out how many games...

So all the sudden now lebron.. and Kobe are not in the picture.

As a Laker fan, i hope that Kobe is not in the picture bro. I want Kobe sitting out 4th qtrs, and not bailing us out with game winners. Yes, i am selfish like that.

 

[playmaker88]

So wouldnt that make him be in the picture by leading your team to dominate and sitting out 4th quarters those things are not mutually exclusive

 

[mike06]

top 5?.....ahead of who?

dude is nice but if you've already stated he needs to work on his DEFENSE how is he top5 ahead of primed vets that have very little else to develop in thier game?

Kobe

Lebron

Melo

Wade

Howard

and im sure you could put CP3 or D Will in that same discussion too...dude is nice but it's not his time just yet...shyt get them to the playoffs and WIN a series first before we start crowning the boy......was Iverson top 5 his second year in the league?...not even close...
