Kobe is a better defender, Durant is a better scorer. Right now Durant is the

league leader in blocks and the media is talking about him possibly winning Defensive Player of the Year if he keeps up what he's been doing. Draymond and Ron Adams have helped him improve his D dramatically. I expect him to make multiple all-defensive teams going forward.

kobe at $4. best bargain is Durant. laughable that kobe is more than Durant

smokymountainrain

1/4/18 12:03pm

Best bargain is Hakeem at $2. Not even close

nashty

1/4/18 12:07pm

Hakeem is vastly undervalued on there. He DID only have a 4-5 year

CSoul

Huh??? He averaged over 20 points 10 rebounds and 2.7 blocks every

It was a joke about not knowing his age kimdaddy, jeez!

Dang it, I am such a heel!!!

kimdaddy35

yeah, hakeem at 2 is pretty crazy.

Robinson at $1 is pretty good too

I know I'm a Lakers fan and all, but not sure I have Durant over Kobe.

Durant as a complementary piece > Kobe as a complementary piece. Mainly because Durant is so much better as a shooter.

Dillinger

durant is basically better at everything than Kobe.

smokymountainrain

1/4/18 12:10pm

Except winning?

RaggaeCoug

1/4/18 12:12pm

Durant is a more efficient scorer. so scratch pure scorer and creating own

smokymountainrain

1/4/18 12:16pm

There is just no way I'd ever take Durant over Kobe with the body of work

RaggaeCoug

Kobe is a better defender, Durant is a better scorer. Right now Durant is the

there really is no argument that Kobe is a better defender beyond just

smokymountainrain

How is that determined than?

RaggaeCoug

personally, i think defense is nearly impossible to measure. but there are

smokymountainrain

1/4/18 1:13pm

Great points. I just assumed Kobe was a better defender becuase of his 12 All-

1/4/18 1:43pm

Durant could get as many or more rings than Kobe by the time he's done. Don't

1/4/18 12:22pm

Who hasn't won a ring without HOF talent around them?

RaggaeCoug

1/4/18 12:26pm

I just stated that since you use Kobe's winning as a prime reason for him being

1/4/18 12:28pm

KD's career isn't over yet, far from it. He could have more rings than KN. Also

Bird at $4 and Magic at $5.

Dillinger

1/4/18 12:03pm

Kareem at 5. I love Kareem he scored a bunch but I’d have Hakeem as best value

1/4/18 12:04pm

Duncan in his prime was a top 12-15 NBA all time player

SJS

1/4/18 12:05pm

Wade at $3

jbcoug

1/4/18 12:05pm

The guy who won 5 rings, played til he was 40 and also won an NCAA

CSoul

1/4/18 12:06pm

Kareem - 6 rings, 6 NBA MVPs, 3 national championships, 3 NCAA MVPs > Duncan

calcio

1/4/18 12:12pm

I will never understand the lack of respect for Kareem.

Wow, Peter Holt struck gold. Paid $76MM for the Spurs a year before Duncan was

TheLoneCougar

Yep

CSoul

1/4/18 12:20pm

Duncan did not win an NCAA championship

BYU1982

1/4/18 12:51pm

You are right, he didn't win a championship just player of the year

Kobe then Big O then Karl then AI.

1/4/18 12:06pm

Magic at 5. Great passer but not an elite scorer like the others at that level.

Ash

1/4/18 12:09pm

I just don't see guys like Magic and Bird doing what they did against the physical talent there is now.

Dillinger

1/4/18 12:10pm

Hmm, I've never been a fan of comparing past eras unless you're willing to

Ash

1/4/18 12:16pm

The game when they played was much more physical than it is now.

SoCalCoug

1/4/18 12:23pm

Meh. Disagree. The Pistons Bulls series were but as a whole I dont think it was. Even though thats a popular talking

Dillinger

1/4/18 12:56pm

i actually think a guy like magic would do great in 2017. bird i think is

nashty

1/4/18 12:37pm

I agree on Bird, I think he translates quite to today's game and the guy in

kimdaddy35

1/4/18 12:43pm

I wrote it in the other list. Duncan in his prime as a power forward was the best power forward ever

darkcoug

1/4/18 12:16pm

Anyone at 5 besides MJ or LeBron is a ripoff. Why would you spend 5 and not get

cougaman

1/4/18 12:17pm

This is true. They should be at a $6 level

darkcoug

1/4/18 12:18pm

Interesting. Duncan is my starting 4/5. I don't need MJ or Lebron to build the

Ash

1/4/18 12:20pm

I'd put LeBron as my starting 4 over Duncan

cougaman

1/4/18 12:32pm

Then who on your team is going to complain about fouls on every possession?

Ash

1/4/18 1:41pm

He said he had Lebron

kimdaddy35

1/4/18 1:43pm

LOL, he may be a complainer, but TD is the only player I've ever watched in 30+

Ash

1/4/18 7:55pm

Duncan was a whiner, but my point being that almost every superstar

You could always take CP3 for your pg.

1/4/18 1:57pm

prob shaq or malone. unless i could guarantee i'm getting 2000-2001 shaq

nashty

1/4/18 12:28pm

Is that because today's nba is so much different though? Neither would be great

cougaman
