So since the race is pretty much over, were talking about their place in the top 25?
I will say that it's too early to really project where KD is gonna land. He has a good chance of getting really high on the scoring list but he's 24 and we have to see if he can stay healthy. I don't see him as top 10 player all time because you need to be a 2 way player and do much more than scoring.

I think everybody agreed on that part.Durant as good as he is is just too not all around enough to be top 10 of all time and i dont think i have heard anybody mention him as having a GOAT potential so no problem there.Lebron on the other hand from day 1 actually since his sophomore year was talked about a potential GOAT candidate.One of the greatest all around performers one of the best defenders so we shall see what happens

You're probably right because I don't how to rank him either. I was just pointing out that most people won't even bring big O into the discussion when placing lebron on the all time list.

Durant is playing at the higher level than Lebron did at 24 and accomplished more in first five years than him.

At 24 bron was putting up 30 ppg with 9 asst and 7.5 reb. Working on his 2nd straight mvp with a peak wade. Prime kobe, nash, dirk, legendary celtics. Duncan and all still in the league. Please durant was not doing this and still wont until bron declines

Did you just make all that up?

Lebron was on the Cavaliers at 24 during the 08-09 season.
With season averages of
28.4 PPG 7.6 RPG 7.2 APG 1.7 SPG and 1.1 BPG
Do you mean his 2nd MVP competing against a peak wade?

If Durant had to play in the west vs Prime Kobe, Dirk, Nash, Duncan, ect, he wouldn't be a top 5 player in the league whatsoever. What Durant is doing is impressive, but lets not get ahead of ourselves.
Lebron also had a higher ceiling, and to say otherwise is blasphemous.
