Possibly 21. Nets gave the Bucks a better series than the Lakers gave the Suns when both had injury issues.

He had a shot during the RS when he won MVP. By the end of the 2014 post season there wasn't much of a question who is better.

2021 seems like a good bet and there are a few years where it's definitely close but other than that I don't think KD was ever actually better than LeBron.

True that KD was better in 2021 but LBJ also had his own injury problem against the suns in the playoffs....KD was healthy come playoffs time

Re: Was KD ever a better basketball player than LeBron?
For me having a better season has nothing to do with being a better basketball player. Having to give it your 110% to be better than someone else at 80% gives you an MVP award, not the title "The Best". So the answer for me is no.
