Bird would be better, if you wanna go there. But let's not, since I'm not starting Bird at the 4.

You mean like when Lebron pretty much stopped him in the finals?

Right now, who would you rather have, Durant or Davis?
There is a strong case that Davis is a better player to have on your team than Durant. Davis is elite both defensively and offensively. Durant isn't elite defensively. Just really elite offensively.
I think the Current NBA player rankings in the NBA is this.
1. Lebron
2. Curry
3. Davis
4. Durant.
I could even make a case for Curry number one, but that's because I'm such a huge fan of him. I think his shooting ability is about the coolest thing I've ever seen in basketball. But I also understand that due to his size, and he's not elite defensively, he might be closer to the 4th best. But I like him at 2. Davis is the next guy I'm taking.

Umm. Durant averaged 30 points in that finals. It was Harden that really sucked
U are completely delusional. Durant is widely regarded as the second best in the world behind LBJ. Don't make me laugh

Please tell me why that is so laughable.
Why isn't he in that conversation? You act like I just said Al Horford was better than Durant.
Is Davis not top5 in your mind? Would that not make him in the discussion and worth the debate?
Or are you overreacting like always?

Let's put it this way. If Durant had been healthy Davis would've been at home for the playoffs. There's LBJ then Durant then the rest of the NBA. Davis is special don't get me wrong but he's still young and not even in his prime yet. He has yet to play on a contender or show he can elevate his team yet. He is a special talent but he's no Durant. Is there anyone in the league today you'd rather give the ball to late in a game with it on the line? No.

For the record. He will someday be on Durants level, but that time isn't now.

Ya. I'd rather have Curry.
Curry has a ring from beating Lebron in the finals. Durant doesn't. Rings talk.

If Davis had Westbrook, Harden, and Ibaka, like Durant did, then I'm sure Davis could have gone to the finals too, even at this age. He's ahead of his years.
