re: Durant: Kobe and MJ are the two greatest players of all-time

Then you’re a fool. Lebron is significantly better in PER, WS/48, BPM, and VORP. 

It’s like saying you’d take Schilling over Spahn because Schilling has more strikeouts and WS titles.

There's a reason why every comprehensive stat to measure a player's ability has LeBron significantly ahead of Kobe.

There's a better argument Kobe isn't top ten all time than there is that he's top two. LeBron's career PER is 27.7. Kobe's is 22.9. That is a yawning gap.

Tim Duncan's career PER is 24.2, which is decently higher than Kobe. That says a lot about where Kobe falls.
