Scoring Champ
Without Bias
1st off I wanna say their comparions
Durant- Dirk Nowitski meets Ray Allen
Carmelo- James Worthy meets Larry Bird
now
Scoring- Melo is definitely a better scorer than Durant but Durant's offense is designed to get him more open looks than Melo. Durant also gets "superstar" calls while Melo doesn't get those same calls- Tie
Rebounding- Melo is definitely a better rebounder, Durant doesn't crash the boards like a guy his size should. Melo is possibly the best offensive rebounder in the game- Carmelo
Passing- While Durant is more passive than Melo the fact of the matter is Melo is a better and more skilled passer. While Melo doesn't look to pass up a good shot of his own for a great shot of his teammates, where talking who's better- Carmelo
Defense- Both aren't great defenders but when motivated I say Melo is superior due to being able to defend 3's, 4's and 5's. But Durant is more into defense than Melo- Durant
Decision-Making/Discipline- Melo's decision making is sometimes sketchy, while Durant understands when to say NO- Durant
Clutch- Carmelo
Team Work- The fact that Durant is more team oriented gives him the nod. But Melo has finally got that level thanks to Woodson. But we have to see more consistency- Durant
Carmelo- 3
Durant- 3
Tie- 1
At the end of the day when you put in everything the biggest thing that separates them is Durant understanding how to be a Champion at the age of 23 while Carmelo is just getting there. I always said if Carmelo knew how to be a Champion he'd be one and now is his time. Durant has about 10 years left of going off and Carmelo has about 5. So we have to say Durant is the better basketball but not more skilled than Carmelo
KD- better basketball player
CA- more skilled basketball player
big difference
