Crazy How Kevin Durant Ended LeBron's Career

[HabitualChiller]

I think some people took issue with 3 of the top draft picks of 2003 being all on the same team, during their prime. Especially fans like myself, who'd prefer to see a 28 year old Wade go up against LeBron in the playoffs a few times. I feel that would have been very fun to watch.

It would be like Jordan colluding with Stockton and Barkley (both from his draft class) to beat Detroit. Instead, Jordan developed Pippen into a monster and the rest is history.

Granted, LeBron going to Miami was no where near the scale of what Durant did. But those actions gave Durant that comfort level, to be able to join the Warriors. To deny that is to deny reality.

I think he left because he saw Bron beat the team he lost to and thought that he had no shot anywhere else but Golden State.

I think he wouldn't have left if Bron had lost...

Bird joined a 23-59 celtic team.

Robert parish was a junkie who most of the league gave up on. Mchale was a bench warmer during birds first chip.

Lets not rewrite history for bron.

Other great players elevate the players they join or join them to greatness. Bron joins hall of famers.

Funny how that Celtics team only had 2 bad seasons before Bird joined the team, then all of a sudden they're in the finals....Now you want act like Bird's teams weren't full of hall of famers? You want to take a guess how many hall of famers Bird played with? Maybe 5 or 6 including Bird himself. I done a little bit of research myself, and yes, Mchale was on the bench for his first 5 seasons, yet was good enough to win 6th man of the year twice. And many players consider him one of the best pf of all time. Now you can paint him as being Tristan Thompson or Shumpert, but you're doing your argument an injustice by acting like the Celtics weren't a stacked team. This is from wikipedia:

McHale was a part of what many consider the league's best-ever frontline with small forward Larry Bird and center Robert Parish. The trio of Hall of Famers became known as the "Big Three" and led the Celtics to five NBA Finals appearances and three NBA championships, in 1981, 1984 and 1986. For the first five years of his career McHale primarily came off the bench for the Celtics, winning the NBA Sixth Man of the Year Award in 1984 and 1985.

Possessing a wide variety of offensive moves close to the basket the agile, long-armed McHale played in seven National Basketball Association All-Star Games between 1984 and 1991. McHale's finest season came in 1986–87 when he was named to the All-NBA First Team as a forward. He led the NBA in field goal percentage in the 1986-87 and 1987-88 seasons, shooting 60.4 percent each season. Also a standout defensive player, McHale was selected to the NBA All-Defensive First or Second Team six times. He twice blocked nine shots in a game, the most ever by a Boston Celtics' player (blocked shots did not become an official NBA statistic until the 1973-74 season).

Fellow NBA Hall of Famer Charles Barkley said of McHale, "Kevin McHale's the best player I played against because he was unstoppable offensively, and he gave me nightmares on defense."[6]

In 971 regular season games McHale averaged 17.9 points and 7.3 rebounds and in 169 post-season games averaged 18.8 points and 7.4 rebounds.[7]

At the end of the 2007–2008 season McHale ranked tenth in NBA history in career field goal percentage (55.4%), and he is among the Celtics' career leaders in several categories, including games played, points scored and rebounding.[8]

McHale's number 32 jersey was retired by the Celtics on January 30, 1994, during a halftime ceremony at the Boston Garden [2].

He was chosen one of the NBA's 50 greatest players and was named to the NBA's 50th Anniversary All-Time Team in 1996.[9]

Only Hall of fame player Lebron joined was Wade. Because Bosh isnt going to the hall of fame..

Bruh, you might be right, he just doesn't deserve to go.

Bron taking the blame, but I think he did it with the NBA "Powers that be" backing him up.


I've always maintained it was a marketing scheme.The NBA is still about entertainment.

I think he took a deal from the league.The NBA got their "NWO" super team in Miami

Cleveland got hooked up with #1 picks, so that when Bron returned to the Cavs(I think the "Powers" already knew he would)

They'd be stocked with talent/trade assets to build a contender around him.


He was looking stagnated in Cleveland pre 2010.He's the NBA's main marketing tool.

He was supposed to go to the Heat and win 3 ships in a row, be "greater than Jordan", but the Mavs/Spurs

foiled those plans.At least he got a couple, tho.Good deal for Bron and the NBA.Didn't go as planned

but all parties got something out of the deal.Now Bron's left taking the fall for that shyt.


It was a major business deal.The Dan Gilbert letter was controlled opposition/sensationalism.

That's why Bron wasn't tripping about it.It was all part of the script.Hot takes & big news stories.

It's all a production.From First Take to Undisputed....to whatever shyt you see on TV.

They're all in cahoots with each other.It's for your entertainment.The Matrix has you.

Stagnated? He looked like he was playing with Boobie Gibson and Donyell Mashall

Bruh, you might be right, he just doesn't deserve to go.

he deserves to be in.

He is one of the best PFs of his generation and was vital in 2 NBA title winning teams.

I'm not a fan. I like all NBA players. I don't root for anyone in particular because I have no team or emotional attachment. I like KD's game. I don't know why you nikkas think everyone chooses sides like a groupie.

BEcause they are ALL stupid as fukk. Some guy made a KD leg break joke (distasteful) yet if you insert LeBrons name there it would slide , nothing but cancerous hypocrites

The more I watch GS they don't look totally invincible...I dont know man Im not ready to write this cavs team off I seen IT break down GS defense a few times in that game and he clearly at like 70% Im feeling like they take off after the all star break...

It's their style of play it shows the observer that it isn't dominant but when those shots start going in it is lights out.

I mean we all played basketball... How the fukk can you defend a team who can hit anywhere on the court???? That is the most frustrating shyt in the world.
