KD vs. LBJ

Author's Note: This piece was written to show how much better Kevin Durant is than LeBron James.

Ten seconds left your team is down by two points, the crowd roars with excitement of their favorite team winning The Finals. Who would you give the ball to, Kevin Durant or LeBron James? Personally I would give the ball to Kevin Durant.

My first reasoning of giving the ball to Kevin Durant is he is so clutch. If you look up on Google “how many buzzer beaters has Kevin Durant made” there’s a page or two full of different buzzer beaters he has made. You have got to be clutch to hit that many buzzer beaters. That is just where Kevin Durant thrives, being clutch. As many have heard you can’t get four quarters of basketball out of LeBron James. This is why a dollar is worth more than LeBron James because you can actually get four quarters out of a dollar. Earlier this short NBA season LeBron was having a great game. But his team was down one with six seconds left. He could’ve shot but he passed the ball and the shot missed. If that was Kevin Durant they would’ve doubled teamed him then he would’ve done a little shimmy did a step back jumper and drained it nothing but net.

The second reason Kevin Durant is better than LeBron is Kevin went to college unlike LeBron. Which means Kevin Durant is smarter. Kevin Durant also has a better basketball IQ. It even says that on 2K12 basketball for PS3. Kevin Durant is more likely to make smart plays and better plays over LeBron James. Smarter plays equal more championships. More championships equal more fans and money. Kevin Durant just has the chain effect which is why he is such a dynamic figure in the sports world.

The third reason Kevin Durant is better is he has two inches on LeBron James says espn.com. Also Kevin Durant has a 7’5 wingspan says basketballheaven.com. LeBron’s wingspan is only seven foot. That is two and a half inches shorter for each arm. That’s a lot of leeway for Kevin Durant to dunk on him like he did April 4, 2012.

It’s not just that the coaches want to give Kevin Durant the ball. Kevin Durant wants the ball in his hands when the clock is ticking down.
