I'm not debating the talent level of James' Cleveland teams, or Durant's Oklahoma City teams sans Westbrook; I am however curious as to when folks say or imply that Durant has "a better team/more talent so to speak." James, at the very least his last two seasons in Cleveland, had teams custom-built around/for him, while the Thunder, outside of Durant and Westbrook, are still really a Lakers blueprint of sorts (Ibaka and Perkins to counter Bynum and Gasol) . Iono if I can say that this current team is one that caters to Durant's game. Just my opinion, feel free to add

Those Cleveland teams all had shooters (from distance & mid-range mind u) surrounding James,from every position. Shaq was supposed 2 b da post presence, Varejao for rebounding, and u remember James wanted STAT, a pick-n-roll/pick-n-pop player that would've played well w/ James. Instead they acquire Jamison, another perimeter big man. Again, not talkin' bout talent levels, just pointing out the way James' and Durant's respective teams were built.

Again, James had shooters surrounding him, @ every position, w/ the xception of Varejao (rebounding) and O'Neal (was supposed 2 b that post presence James never had). And again, I'm not debating the talent of the teams, nor denying that certain projects (O'Neal) didn't pan out, just pointing out that those teams were built (sucessfully or not) to complement this fake ass king. And u y buggin' 'bout Jamison? nikka wuz averagin' 20 & 9 b4 that trade.

5/22 shooting? Yikes :snoop: At least KD can use the excuse of he didn't have Westbrook :manny: It just goes to show how much you need 2 stars on 1 team or you need a strong team like Memphis
