I buy that Durant might have meant the pass-the-torch comment how he explained now, though it’s also possible he’s just backtracking. Someone can hand off his torch, or he can use his lit torch to light someone else’s while keeping his burning.
But LeBron isn’t in a room with Dwyane Wade, Carmelo Anthony, Paul Pierce, Larry Bird and Julius Erving. LeBron is the best small forward of all-time. He’s in his own room historically. (I’m not sure how Wade, a shooting guard, got into Durant’s version of the room.)
When it comes to current ability, LeBron is generally recognized as the best basketball player in the world. Durant, already so good, is pushing the limits of his game, and he belongs in that discussion. But to me, LeBron still deserves the benefit of the doubt.
