Pierce isn't modern. They won the title 17 years ago

Would he crack the top 25 of the past 25 years?

Durant is 50/39/88 for his long arse career. T-Mac had an amazing 2002-03 season without the level of support of basically any of the supporting casts Durant has had.

Durant is clearly 1 on my list.

TMac may be 2. He's historically underrated to me. Injuries really fricked him.

Before the injury, he was as good as anyone.

Klay Thompson has a better claim to best pure scorer than PeePee

Peak TMac is every bit as good as peak Kobe, probably better. Neither is as good as peak Durant.

In fact, I think it’s important to state that Durant is measurably better than Kobe. Like, it’s not that close.
