(Insert all scoring stats voiceover) but what will forever separate LBJ and KD is passing and playmaking. LeBron is 10x the passer KD is, this elevates him so far above KD as a player, it just not a close comparison anymore. LeBron has the magical touch and ability to score when it’s needed and in the flow of the game, and pass when its needed and in the flow of the game. It’s just a gift he has that KD will never have. Comparing their assists numbers is actually embarrassing. (Show assists stats) Now as defender Kevin Durant is pretty damn great when he’s on his game and but I’d take LeBron on the defensive end over KD any day. LeBron coasts pretty often in the regular season but his ability to guard 1-5 when concentrated is absolute facts, his engagement and lateral movement on defense is superb, but to give KD his credit, he could end up being a nightmare defensively in the playoffs for the warriors. Assisting/Playmaking Now I don’t mind saying everything up until this point has been pretty close but this right here is what distinguishes LeBron from Kobe, Jordan, and yes, Kevin Durant. LeBron is the smartest passer I’ve ever seen, he’s not the best passer I’ve ever seen but the smartest. He’s a genius with the basketball and KD literally looks like squash compared to James in this category. And like I said comparing their assist numbers is slightly embarrassing, LeBron has always had the gift of being able to get his own while getting everyone involved at crucial moments of the game. As you can see Kevin Durant averages 3.7 assists per game while having mostly decent teammates throughout his career compared to Lebron who blows him away and averages exactly 7 assists a game. But the stats never tell the whole story, LeBron can make passes that no one else can in the league, his combination of size and vision makes him one of the greatest ever. Now again, KD is not horrible at passing or making plays but Im talking about the third eye, im talking about the steve nash, larry bird, magic Johnson GIFT of passing. And LeBron James absolutely has it. Head to Head matchups LeBron is 13-3 against KD and that’s not even including the Finals in which he pretty much swept him and made him cry to his beautiful momma. Finals included their record is 17-4. And this is where I just shake my head at LeBron… in their head to head matchups, which have pretty much ALL been on national TV LeBron is averaging more rebounds, more assists, AND more points ON A HIGHER EFFICIENCY… ALL ON FEWER MINUTES PLAYED PER GAME. Yeah just slightly outplaying Kevin Durant... Just slightly. But again, KD has nothing to be ashamed of, he plays great against LeBron him… but LeBron’s just that much better. Now I’ll admit before every head to head matchup between LeBron and KD I would get hyped up like crazy, order pizza, sit back and relax, hoping for something interesting but after the game it’d would be the same confirmation every time, LeBron is just simply better than KD. LeBron is 13-3 against KD and that’s not even including the Finals in which he pretty much swept him and made him cry to his mother. Finals included their record is 17-4. And this is where I just shake my head at LeBron… in their head to head matchups, which have pretty much ALL been on national TV LeBron is averaging more rebounds, more assists, AND more points ON A HIGHER EFFICIENCY… ALL IN LESS MINUTES PLAYED PER GAME. Yeah he’s just slightly outplaying Kevin Durant. All clips property of the NBA. No copyright infringement is intended.
