Barkley on KD

I guess it's hard for some of the old timers to grasp that Durant is a 6'10-6'11 player who is a lethal 3pt shooter and is also really quick and handles the ball remarkably well for his size. Durant routinely shoots over players taller than Barkley (6'7).

Durant is my favorite player. but i dont know why so many people claim him as 6'11. The dude is like 6'9 - 6'9 1/2.

Right, he would have 3 inches on Barkley. Making Magic's 6 inches on Westbrook that much more impressive.

Oh goody, this thread's still going.

Propelled by the nostalgia-mongers, I'm sure

Apparently Barkley is going to guard Durant now.

One of the reasons: "mind games"

You can't make this shite up

No more far fetched than DeAndre freaking Jordan dominating the paint against Robinson, Ewing, etc.

I love The Admiral (I'm a Spurs homer

), but he'd be given more than a run for his money with Jordan's athleticism. Hell, he had a tough time with Hakeem, and Olajuwon is nowhere near the athlete DeAggy is.

Look at things objectively.

He was 6'10.25" with shoes on at the combine. He could def be close to 6'11 now.

Clearly taller than Lebron and Kevin Love. And looks like he's the 2nd tallest on the team behind Chandler.

Galo is listed at 6'10, and KD seems taller than him.

He could def be 6'10.5" or 6'11

You are being no more objective than I am. DeAndre Jordan. No all star appearances. I don't care that fans vote. No first or second team All Defense selection. And he's gonna match up well with some of the greatest offensive centers of all time.
So don't give me that objective crap.

Incorrect.

All-star system has been broken for awhile now.

Those centers rarely (if ever) faced an athlete of his caliber.

Prob because of the 30-year age difference.

Akeem was DeAndre 30 years ago, but with a 1000% better skillset.

No. Hakeem was much more skilled (also, didn't have to ply his trade against athletes of DeAndre's caliber), but was never the athletic freak Jordan is.
