No one is LeBron. LeBron is in that inner circle of Jordon, Kareem, Wilt, and Malone. Only way he doesn't reach that level is if he gets a career ending injury soon. Durant is well on his way to being a great player. But he's no LeBron. He doesn't have LeBron's ability to dominate a game in all facets of it. That's what makes LeBron so special. Only player in the NBA (JMO) close to LeBron is CP3, different skills set but he's the closest ot being as complete of a player. Durant is more like Kobe. Nothing wrong with that. Just he's not LeBron.

Because KD actually has to play a good team in round one as opposed to LeBron? Right now the biggest difference between LeBron and Durant is that one plays in the west and one plays in the east.

Durant well on his way to being a great player? At worst he's the 2nd best player in the NBA right now.
Lets not forget Lebron has had his shaky performances in the postseason as well.
I think everyone is quick to jump on KD because of how I go crazy abou thim. Its ok...I understand it.

Lot of attention on Joey Crawford disrupting Durant's FT, but there was a more egregious officiating blunder in Thunder-Grizz last night.

Tayshaun Prince fouled Serge Ibaka on the final shot. Hit him right on his shooting hand. Foul wasn't called. Maybe cost OKC a playoff game.

I don't care who they play against. The best players in the NBA should be getting the ball and perfoming. Durant is coming up lame. (so far)
Did playing a good team make him miss the FT last night?
If they called a foul on that (which I believe was even after the buzzer went off), it would have been one of the worst black eyes in the NBA. They already had started calling 3 second violations on Memphis down the stretch and gave the ball to OKC on a ball Durant knocked out.
Really? That's what cost OKC the game? LOL
No horrible decisions did. Just re posting something. I think its hard to say if that occurred before or after the buzzer though.
Thunder should have own this series in 5. Its pathetic that they are facing elimination on the road.
No but being iced by Joey Crawford might have!
KD has choked this series though for sure.
Yeah, the minutes are getting to him. They babied him coming back and he wasn't ready for the minutes. He isn't the only one slacking here though but he has not been good this series either.
I know everyone is going to want to pile onto RW but if KD just hits half of the shots that he normally hits this series ends in a sweep.

Ok, let's not care who they play against. Forget that LeBron's team is playing the worst team in the entire playoffs by far. And Durant is playing one of the better teams in the playoffs. You're right. That's not relevant.
At least Durant just didn't get the lucky roll on the free throw. It was in and out. LeBron bricks the crap out of it typically.
