Eventually it will happen due to biology but I don't expect the gap to start closing in till another 3-4 years.

from what (little) I saw of the series leonard played absolutely stellar defense on KD. he was literally shadowing him once he crossed half at times. a great way to defend an MVP-type player is not to let him get the ball and kawhi did just that.

you can't do that to westbrook, he has the ball in his hands most of the time and I don't think there's one player in the league that can stay in front of him.


that doesn't mean westbrook is better, it means that Durant is not being put in a position to succeed. yes, it might help if Durant was stronger so he could gain position easier among other things but I find it hard to believe you can't come up with something offensively to get the league MVP the ball in a favourable position.

He's better at breaking down opposing teams defense than, Durant.
Thanks for all the great memories, LeBron! The show must go on! #Heatnation
