Very few can argue that Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James and Golden State Warriors back-to-back Finals MVP Kevin Durant are the two best players in the NBA today. However, the debate gets much more interesting when it comes to determining who is the better overall player among the two.

For former five-time All-Star Tim Hardaway Sr., it's an easy choice. The 52-year-old is picking Kevin Durant, as he believes that the two-time NBA champion is literally an unstoppable force.

“Kevin Durant,” Hardaway exclaimed, per Amulya Shekhar of sportskeeds. “Nobody can stop him, his mid-range jumper from the low post. Kevin Durant is the only player in the NBA that nobody can stop.”

Hardaway is convinced that not even LeBron James and his 6-foot-8, 250-pound frame is physically capable of stopping the Warriors superstar.

“Like I said, Kevin Durant is the only player nobody can stop,” he added. “(Responding to audible disagreement all around) OK, can I say this? Did LeBron stop him when he had the ball for game? I can't hear you…. (Laughter ensues)”

It's very hard to argue with Hardaway here after he cited a very specific, unforgettable moment between Kevin Durant and LeBron James to belabor his point. Actually, it was on two separate, yet equally crucial moments in which Durant drained a go-ahead trey right in front of James, from almost the exact same spot.

This was in Game 3 of last season's Finals in Cleveland, which was pretty much an exact replica of what Kevin Durant did also in Game 3 of the preceding year's Finals.

Kudos to Hardaway here for using history to back up his bold claim.
