If Durant is as good, or even better than Lebron ever was...

[Champ_KW]

So you really gonna sit here and try to argue that people critiquing sayin he doesn't have the "clutch gene" or that he is a "choker" or "can't get it done" or whatever ad Naseum catchphrases that were HEAVILY thrown around doesn't DIRECTLY CORELATE with them questioning if he will ever win a championship?

KD has yet to be questioned in the slightest, and just like in this thread it's nothing but people making EXUSES for him.

The exact opposite of what they did for Bron.

You sound real insecure cause people won't agree with your agenda. Hakeem was every bit as great as Shaq was without the "expectations" or "criticism if he didn't win". I can't understand how you correlate what talking heads and fans/haters say in a social media era with how great someone is. Bron didn't get creamed with this ring talk until he decided to form a super team and uttered "not 1, not 2..." When he didn't win against Dallas, that's when the noise started.

Durant didnt get it done?


LEBRON failed in the NBA Finals.....Kevin Durant was failed by his teammates. You're obviously bias and by putting Kevin Durant's and LeBron's 1st Finals appearances on the same level shows everyone your biasness.


Kevin Durant's 1st NBA Finals appearance, he put up 31 ppg on 55% FG.
LeBron's 1st NBA Finals appearance, he put up 22 ppg on 36% FG

What do you MEAN people dont put it on Durant? How could you?

 

[ROFL_GUY]

Look at what LeBron was doing in the NBA Finals last year......and then ask yourself why?


Your own fellow Heat stans were talking bad about LeBron, because he was not performing at an elite level the entire series


Game 1: 18 pts on 44%

Game 2: 29 pts on 41%

Game 3: 15 pts on 33%

Game 4: 33 pts on 60%

Game 5: 25 pts on 36%

Game 6: 32 pts on 42%

Game 7: 37 pts on 52%


The questions were valid


Durant in the 2012 NBA Finals

Game 1: 36 points on 60%

Game 2: 32 points on 55%

Game 3: 25 points on 58%

Game 4: 28 points on 47%

Game 5: 32 points on 54%


There are NO questions that can be asked about Durant's performance

Why are Bron stans so fukking touchy? KD didn't team up with future HOFers and stated that they were going to win not one, not two, not three, etc. Winning in the West is supremely much harder than The East.

What a Lot of lebron stans dont get is that even his "haters" Hold lebron to a higher standard than anyone else.

We knew from the begining that for him the sky was the limit. The only people we ever compared him to were the likes of Jordan, Bird and Magic. That's were everyone wanted to see him go from the beginning because we knew he was capable of.

Durant was never in the discussion to be a top 5 all time player at the end of his career. We don't have those high expectations.

Now you can say this is hating or hipocrisy but acctually it's not. We expect more from him because we know he has the talent.

The reason why I hated on him when he left Cleveland was because he "robbed me" of the chance to witness history.

Now I'm by no means a Lebrun hater but I believe this is where most of this is coming from.

Same here...I was on the verge of beginning a fan in 2010 because of what he did against the Magic and I kind of felt pissed that that team didn't make it to Finals (fukk Fright Coward), but the that series against the C's and the Decision happened and I became a full-time hater

Well with that being said..Knowing that Durant has blossomed into arguably the greatest scorer of all time and someone who can eventually crack the GOAT conversation if KD doesn't win it this year Shouldn't he start catching Heat for never being able to get it done.

The "he's not a winner" "not clutch" "a chocker" slander never gets thrown at him. People always BLAME RUSS

They blame Russ when they got BEAT UP by the Heat and Blamed Russ when Russy got hurt and actually people used that situation to feel sorry for Durant

It's bullshyt hypocritical.

Again, the point is that Bron has been sold as a potential GOAT since he was 18. I don't think most people really give two fukks about Durant (I know I don't), even the whole talk about "greatest scorer of all time" seems strange to me, I dunno...when I watch OKC I hardly ever feel that Durant can take over the game at will like MJ, Kobe or Bron have done/do...he knocks down shots but TAKE OVER A GAME as in impose his will? I dunno...

Bottom line is LeBron is held to that MJ/Kobe standard, Durant not (yet?). We can call that hypocritical, I'd rather say we don't expect the same from both players. And I really don't think that Durant is on 's level, as much as I can hate him.

if the thunder fail to win a championship this season the blame will fall on russy, as usual

Durant about to be a 10-year vet, MVP winner and multiple scoring champ who is considered the best player in the league with 0 rings

meanwhile, bron was the butt of all sorts of ringless jokes from 2007-2011

that blatant hypocrisy

Charles Barkley/Karl Malone/KG(for a long time).

A future HOF who plays once a week and is declining every year and another future HOF who is inconsistent. Westbrook is better than Wade and Bosh at this point so he has no excuses. Had none in 2012 either..

You notice how every time the Thunder lose it's always on Westbrook, too?

Man please. Westbrook on his best day will never be better than a healthy D Wade, and Bosh has been very instrumental to The Heat's success.

A healthy D-Wade? when is he ever healthy? Even when he sits on some nights he looks bad. RW is better than a healthy Wade now stop crying.

And Bosh has some games where he has 5 points and 2 rebounds. Yea some things aren't always shown on the stat sheet but Bosh should be producing more for a guy who's paid 18 million a year.

Stop going off NAMES and go off PRODUCTION.

You can say LeBron plays with 2 HOF's but all HOF's get washed at one point. Remember the 2004 Lakers?

No, he's not.

 

[RugbyCardigan]

No, he's not.

So you ignore the rest of the stuff I put?

Wade can't play back to backs and is missing a lot of games during the season. Westbrook is still young and hasn't even peaked yet. Tell me why you would take Wade going forward over Westbrook.

 

[madness]

must be nice to have teammates who are able to do this in the Finals

instead bron has "superstar hall of fame" teammates who score 0 points in game 7 of the Finals
