An extract from Thunder-Heat Preview NBA.COM By TIM REYNOLDS Posted Jan 28 2014 6:23PM MIAMI (AP) LeBron James says no one can guard Kevin Durant without help. Maybe not, but its entertaining to watch the two superstars square off. Individually, he cant be stopped by any 1-on-1 player, James said. Theres nobody that can guard him 1-on-1. In 16 meetings of their teams to date, Durant has outscored James nine times. But James teams are 13-3 in those games, including Miamis 4-1 series victory in the 2012 Finals. As long as that trend continues Wednesday, James likely wont care - not much, anyway - about the individual numbers at games end. I like going against the best, James said. And hes definitely right up there. ... Hes a great guy to compete against, man. I wish I could play against him every night because he brings that competitive nature out of you. Im just going out there and having fun, man, Durant said. Im just trying to play. Im not coming in saying, `Ive got to do this. Im not one of those guys that predetermines anything. I just go off how the game is played and the defense teams are throwing at me and just play and be aggressive that way. Im just enjoying it and having fun with it and taking it a day at a time.
