Which is better than Durant or James? The former Super Six said his heart, fans: KD only shoots better

As two best forwards in the NBA in the past 15 years, James and Durant have been frequently compared since 2011, especially after Durant won the MVP in 2014, the topic of which of them is better was widely discussed by fans. The general view is that James and Durant are the big and small kings of the league, and James is slightly better than Durant, which also leads Durant to always be eager to surpass James. In Durant in 2016, the reason why Durant was willing to join the Warriors with countless infamous was to some extent that he wanted to catch up with James. Later, Durant chose to leave the Warriors because after winning the championship and FMVP for two consecutive years, he found that he still did not surpass James in the eyes of fans and the media, which made Durant feel very frustrated.

It is worth mentioning that recently, the US media Run It Back updated social media and posted the remarks of former NBA player Louis Williams on the podcast program. Lu Wei said that James is a better athlete than Durant. Lu Wei also used Towns and Jokic as an example. Lu Wei said: "Downs is undoubtedly a better player, but I think Jokic's way of controlling the game is more influential. He will not appear on the outside and try to be the best shooter, but will try to pass the ball to the best shooter. He is not deliberately going to be the best passer... Well, he is the best passer, but he can always put his teammates in the best position and help them succeed."

Then the guest of the show, Chandler Parsons, added: "Some people think Kevin Durant's skills are better than LeBron James? Maybe. But is he a better basketball player? No. But KD is better in some things? He is indeed." Lu Wei continued : "Of course."

Luwei and Parsons both played against James and Durant in the NBA. They felt more intuitive in the game than fans and the media. In their opinion, some of Durant's skills, such as shooting, are indeed stronger, but his influence and leadership temperament are not as strong as James, and his threat to the game and oppressiveness to his opponents are not as good as James. To put it bluntly, Durant is like a charger and is very capable of scoring, but James is more like the commander who coordinates the overall situation. When both of them were at their peak, James' defense, organization and leadership were better. Even if he was not as good as Durant in his shooting, James' scoring ability was not inferior to Durant at all. Those who can get 40,000 points in his career are all top scorers in history.

Many fans also said that even now, except for shooting better than James, Durant is still inferior to James in other places. Especially last season, Durant led the Suns to the playoffs without even entering the playoffs, and James led the Lakers to the playoffs in the third place in the West. In terms of leadership ability and leadership skills, James is still better. Even when the two are working hard, James is still the one with better defense, which can be seen from the Olympics. What do you think about this?
