Durant is a good young player...with skills greatly inferior to Kobe, Lebron and a number of other NBA players. Kobe and Lebron were probably the physical equals of Durant at about....15 or 16!

If you compare the production of the three at age 19, which I did, it is clear that he is as productive as those 2 were at the same age. Is that too hard for you to understand? Do Lebrons 20 a game in 36 mins as a rookie count more than Durants 20 a game in 33 minutes? His skills at age 19 are not greatly inferior to either player. No one is saying that he will become the players that those 2 are now but he is nowhere near 'greatly inferior" to either at the same stage of their careers.
