Who Really Is The King? LeBron vs. Durant

By: Doris. I

Ever since Lebron James has entered the league he has been hailed as the future of the NBA. After winning back to back NBA MVP's and continuing to put up stellar numbers is there any reason to doubt that he is the best player in the league?

Kobe Bryant has aged a lot and though he is frequently compared to LeBron the only person you can argue is truly on the same level as LeBron is KD, Kevin "the Durantula" Durant. 

*Look at this earlier post by Chris on Kobe Vs. Lebron here:

He has lead the NBA in scoring the past 3 seasons and his young Oklahoma City team is favoured to match up in the NBA finals and face the Heat in an epic rematch of last years final. 

KD is a match up problem on every level standing 6'10 with a 7'6 wingspan(no that was not a typo) and the ability to shoot from anywhere and the ball handling skills of a point guard. 

Even the king is unable to guard this rising superstar 1 on 1. With Durant being quite a bit younger than Lebron (only 24, Lebron is 28), his potential is limitless and he will dominate the NBA for years to come. 

Many people argue who is better between the two and a lot of controversy was started when the media found out they worked out together during the summer. Would you train with your number one rival and help them get better??? 

We will see whose hard work pays off more as the playoffs are right around the corner. As for who is better in my eyes… Too hard to say.

I will say this, I would not want to match up with either of them on any court in the near future...
