No one considered the warriors a super team prior to Durant due to the fact that was all home grown talent, and they weren't so far ahead, OKC had them on the ropes, cle beat them even down 3-1, and as others say, they only won the year before due to injuries, SA would've been a bigger challenge, or even L, if kawhi had played...so which one is it? So far ahead or able to be beat/lucky?

Secondly, had Durant joined any other formidable team in the west - pretty much SA and Clips at the time, they'd all be "unbeatable". Y'all wouldn't be happy had he done that either, funny how people talk needing rings, supposedly love the power of FA in the NBA, but then turn around and want nikkas to be on teams that suck and won't accomplish shyt as some badge of honor :swaggywhat: in the same breath yelling about bron needing more help

I can't.


I get y'all are mad at the move, just like people hated the Miami move by Bron , but it's based on pure hate a jealousy, not these fake narratives y'all pretend are the reasons.

Nah, you all over the place. I answered the question of whether they were so far ahead of not by stating they were "so far ahead of everyone else already". Also, a superteam doesn't mean that they are unable to be beaten (look at the superteams of the past) it just means they have an above average chance of winning it all.

The fact of the matter is that the Warriors had two consecutive Finals appearances (winning one) prior to Durant even joining. And since he joined, the Warriors have been to two more consecutive Finals and neither were even close.

Moral victories are for minor league coaches.... because of the rings Draymond now has a chance to be a hall of fame player.. is he a hall of fame talent, no, but winning cures all.... CJ will be forgotten about 2 years after his last nba game

He's someone who never has and will never be under the pressure players Lebron,Magic,Bird,Jordan,Kobe, Shaq, KD, Wilt, and Kareem were under to win

It's because of the players listed why he can make so much money so he should watch his mouth.

New TV deal came off when KD and Bron were the faces of the league

KD and him were in the same division I live in New York a lot of people on the east stay up to watch KD hoop
