Kevin Durant and LeBron James

LeBron James is a 4 time NBA champion. He has taken teams such as the Cleveland Cavaliers, which didn’t have the best roster to the finals.?James had MVP seasons with the Miami Heat. His records speak for themselves. James, despite being 37, was the 2nd highest scorer in the league with 30.3 points per game. He had faced the famed Golden State Warriors and won once. He took the Cavaliers to an impossible 4-3 win in 2016 after being down?3-1.

Durant, too, is a world-class player. He has won championships to but with an already stacked Warriors team in 2017 and 2018. His scoring per game was so great that many fans thought that he was better than Steph Curry. Durant has put up good numbers too since leaving the Warriors. Fans just think that his performances during clutch moments come up short for Brooklyn.

LeBron fans think that counts as a drawback for Durant. Nonetheless, many fans also think that at least for this season, Durant has taken his team farther than LeBron has.
