What's your starting five? You have to pick a player from every position, so you can't have Shaq and Kareem as your bigs for example. Mine:

 

PG- Magic Johnson

SG- Michael Jordan

SF- Kevin Durant

PF- Kevin Garnett

C- Shaquille O'Neal

For my $15, I think I would go

 

PG-Magic Johnson

SG-Michael Jordan (First pick, take at $7 or $8!)

SF-Scottie Pippen (Best deal on the board)

PF-Tim Duncan

C-Hakeem Olajuwon

 

No money....

PG-Magic

SG-Jordan

SF-Bird

PF-Lebron

C-Russell

Quote:PG - John Stockton

SG - Michael Jordan

SF - Lebron James

PF - KG

C - Shaq

I came up with this before I even read these posts.

Most of our team cancels each other out. Lebron is way ahead of Durant, but Duncan is about the same on KG (in his prime). In my opinion, in a one on one battle I would take Shaq over Wilt. I think he out muscles him on offense.

As far as hack a Shaq, I dont think world class players need to resort to that.


PG Stockton $2
SG Jordan $5
SF Durant $2
PF Duncan $3
C Wilt $3

Lebron is way ahead of Durant in what aspect?

All around game, I would take Lebron without even thinking about it.

I'll agree with that. Scoring goes to Durant easily, but Lebron a better assist man and better defensive player. I think rebounding is about equal between the two.

 

I wish Kevin Durant would move more without the ball. I think he would be even more lethal moving constantly without the ball rather than sitting at the three point line waiting to be given the ball.

Stockton $2

Jordan $5

Durant $2

Duncan $3

I started with Jordan as a must have.  I wanted Isiah @ $3 but settled for Stockton @ $2 (i have enough shooters so i needed an assist guy anyway -- defense is not as good but will do).    Not certain why Karl Malone was valued @ $5.   I like Duncan and Wilt @ $3.   Durant for $2 --really??

Scoring is one thing I don't like about Lebron and why I think Jordan will always be the better player. Jordan had a killer instinct where he would just take over a game....Lebron seems too nice and wants to have everyone apart of the game. If he had that same instinct as Jordan, I would say he was better.

Last night really illustrated Lebron's value.  Heat were up by 9 when he got hiis 5th foul.   About 5 minutes later the Heat were down by 10.

World class players sink free throws at a better clip too.

Lebron averages more then Durant over their careers in points per game. Choosing between those two is easy.

Stat on ESPN this morning though had the Heat -4 with Lebron in and +14 when out. But that is a huge anomaly I am sure. The foul trouble was crazy.

Ha, seems like my assembled configuration is popular B)

Lebron has also been in the league longer. He had a five year head start. Lebron has had the benefit of playing in a weak Eastern Conference his whole career. Kevin Durant plays the tougher competition, and has won four of the last five scoring titles. Lebron's career scoring average is 27.5 PPG and KD's is 27.4.

 

All around, yes Lebron is better. He's the best player in the world. Kevin Durant is by far the better scorer though.

I think there is a lot of recency bias going on here.

 

Also, Mr. Diesel... KG and Big Funda about the same level? That's not even close IMO.

The stat is still valid. He has scored more ppg. It's an average. Spin it how you will, Lebron scores more then KD.

A whopping .1 PPG with a five year head start. What a big difference.

and its not even close right now. KD is easily the better scorer right now (and likely going forward)
