Who Is The Best In The NBA Among Kevin Durant And LeBron James?

Posted on by Jim Smarts

Kevin Durant played his best in the NBA playoffs.

I don’t know who is the best in the NBA but I know Kevin Durant had a wonderful series. In the 2021 NBA playoffs, Durant averaged 31.4 points. With Kyrie Irving and James Harden’s injury, Durant was the only one who pulled the Brooklyn Nets. Also, who can forget that astonishing and mind-blowing performance of Durant in game 5 against the Milwaukee Bucks?

 

If you talk about the best in the NBA then there are so many factors to be considered. However, if you ask me about Kevin Durant then I can say you 53. Yeah! That man played 53 minutes in a single game in the NBA playoffs. Whereas Trae Young shimmied in a 48 minutes game. It shows the power and patience of Kevin Durant. The first player with 45 points, 15 rebounds and 10 assists in the playoffs. The more you think of his recent performance the more incredible the feeling is.

 

 

Scottie Pippen answered ‘who is the best in the NBA’ with LeBron James.

I already said that I can’t make a choice for the best in the NBA between LeBron James and Kevin Durant. However, Scottie Pippen has a view regarding this question. He believes that Kevin is not at the same level as LeBron James. Therefore, one cannot say that he surpassed LeBron James in any aspect. Pippen focused on individual and team play. He also said that in the end what matters is winning the game.

 

 

I don’t believe that performance of the best in the NBA should be measured only by wins. I think the gameplay and the performance under pressure matter more than winning. However, I don’t want to get into who is the best thing but I also don’t agree with Pippen. LeBron James had achieved so much earlier that’s true but if we look at the current season then James is behind Durant.
