    haha yup, mainly true. KD is much better on offense and his shot is very accurate. Bari’s shot looks super sweet, but obviously not nearly as accurate currently as KD. Bari is definitely a better defender, that’s about it for now.

    Bari is not a better defender. where are you getting this from? KD's rating is near elite and Bari's is mid just like his shooting. KD is slow Ill give Bari that lol

    Bari is like a broken KD in all aspects.

    Jabari is to KD as Robert Horry was to Scottie Pippen

    In more ways than one

    I mean mainly from watching the games, it’s fairly obvious Jabari is currently the better defender. I just looked up defensive ratings for 2025-2026 and that also gives Jabari an advantage. Where are you getting yours from? lol
