Durant doesn't think LeBron is better than him
LeBron James is widely considered the best basketball player on the planet, but another hooper in the conversation isn't buying it.
On Monday, someone went on Kevin Durant's YouTube channel to comment that James is better than him, to which the Golden State Warriors forward responded with a short and simple "nah."
Durant should be confident. The 2014 MVP is one of the greatest players in the game and is coming off his first title win. He bested James in a head-to-head NBA Finals matchup as he led the Dubs to their second championship in three years against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
KD averaged 35.2 points, 8.2 rebounds, 5.4 assists, 1.6 blocks, and a steal over five games en route to earning Finals MVP honors. In his Game 5 walk-off interview, the 28-year-old superstar showed James love, calling him "the only guy that can look (him) eye-to-eye."
King James put up 33.6 points, 12 rebounds, 10 assists, 1.4 steals, and a block per contest during the series, becoming the first player in history to average a triple-double in the Finals. Already a four-time league MVP, three-time champ, and 13-time All-Star, James looks to add to his legacy in his quest to chase Michael Jordan's ghost.
