I posted a picture of them right next to each other where Davis looks the same or taller, and you posted a picture of them with a person in between them, a year later where Towns himself could have grown from the measurement he was measured at. Besides that fact, they still look the same height, taller than Cousins.(who btw, was a quarter inch taller than Davis at their combine measurements, and is no longer taller)
I wasn't sure if Davis grew to be honest, but you came in trying so hard to prove he didn't that you accidentally proved he did.
I was "dodging" because all of your posts suck in every thread, and you use terrible back up for everything and think you're making some sort of profound argument. Did you ever respond to Steve Nash being a better athlete than Durant because his ball handling blows him away? Kyrie certainly is too.

You posted old photo's of Towns, one's taken before he was even drafted and then tried to proclaim those accurately reflected his current size as he grew early as opposed to Davis who grew later. Clearly, that was BS.
But even if you want to to pretend that Town's isn't clearly taller than Davis in that ASG photo, the latter is still standing next to Cousins, who he's the same height as, and Cousins is 6'10.

On the contrary, I proved you and your fellow Pelicans fans are full of it.

KG, spare me. You've lost here and anyone following can see that.

Yes, I addressed both those points, you just have trouble keeping up is all.

Err, no. I went and looked at Towns' messurements over the years. I said he grew early because he's been measured at 7' in shoes for years before he went to the NBA. He early one he's bigger than Davis, the next one he isn't, standing directly next to each other. No pulled away camera, no angles, no one standing behind the other. Reach more to prove some point about a .25 or half inch

Also. The guy who said ball handling is based on athleticism lost any credibility long long ago. And watching you in the Westbrook thread made the agenda a lot more clear 
Also Cousins measured a quarter inch taller at draft time than Davis, so if you say he's the same height as Cousins even, you're admitting he grew and invalidating your entire rant about their being 0 growth
But he looks taller than Cousins in that anyway, despite being a step behind. Looks like he might have picked up a fraction of an inch.

Actually, this is what you said, two pages ago:
"KAT was measured at 6'10.25 in socks at these times, an inch taller than Anthony was at the combine, but they look the same in the second picture, while I can see the difference in Davis' rookie year."
But instead of just admitting KAT is taller than Davis despite measurements and their most recent photo together reflecting exactly that, you'll just keep lying, deflecting, and insulting people because the discussion hasn't gone your way. It'd odd as hell.
He early one he's bigger than Davis, the next one he isn't, standing directly next to each other. No pulled away camera, no angles, no one standing behind the other. Reach more to prove some point about a .25 or half inch
I repeat, both their draft measurements and their most recent photo together reflects that Towns is taller. What are you even arguing for at this point?

KG, apparently you haven't noticed, but no one but Pelican fans have agreed with you. Pretty much everyone except yourself and the two other Pelicans fans have acknowledged that elite slashing require some modicum of athleticism, hence Davis being dominated in the polls. Further, you've ignored this post:
"Lateral quickness, acceleration, balance, flexibility; hip, thigh, and core strength all play a role in handling the ball & slashing at an elite level. Crossovers, hesitations, step backs, in & outs, etc are all quick twitch moves. I'm unsure how anyone can deny this."
For 5 pages, and have only been able to respond with insults, ad hominems, and laughing emoji's yet you think you're credible and or in an advantageous position in this argument?
Also Cousins measured a quarter inch taller at draft time than Davis, so if you say he's the same height as Cousins even, you're admitting he grew and invalidating your entire rant about their being 0 growth
In the same vein, you're admitting that he isn't 6'11 with a 7'7 wingspan.
But he looks taller than Cousins in that anyway, despite being a step behind. Looks like he might have picked up a fraction of an inch.
They appear the same height. Makes since, given their draft measurements were practically identical.

Re: Best Athlete: Kevin Durant vs. Anthony Davis vs. Giannis Antetokounmpo
Thought I'd bump this thread and get some fresh opinions on this debate considering all three are now considered to be top 10 players in the league, or at least close to top 10 with Giannis.
