Dudes on here really hyping up KD's play like he can't take possessions off and doesn't have another MVP and two other all stars he can defer to.

As if Bron wouldn't be shytting all over KD if the roles were reversed.

As if Bron didn't take KD's soul multiple times when KD was in OKC and the roles were pretty much reversed, yet not as bad as the current situation.

This KD hype is just . Like yall dont remember what we've seen from him when he HAS to be that guy for his squad over the last 5 postseasons.

Yall wanna crown him, then crown him. Just don't expect everyone else to join in.

did u care bout KD situation when bron had the better squad in MIA ? i bet u didnt give 2 fukks...bron head to head is better cuz he always had the better team now KD leveled up and now yall mad...2012 finals he avg 30 on 54% on ya man head

Actually, the Thunder were more stacked and the Heat had Wade and Bosh out there hurt

they were the favorites to win that series even tho everybody knew LeBron was better than KD in 2012. Stop trying to think everybody just starting watching hoops last night.

It's A LOT easier to play better when you have an MVP + Klay Thompson and an actually functioning bench with Iguadola, Livingston etc. as team mates, as opposed to having Kyrie 'sometimes I'm hot, usually not' Irving (who does still get respect for his heroics last year), Trish 'Missing' Thompson and JR 'is the boy retarded?' Smith as team mates.

Why wasn't Durant better than LeBron last year when the Thunder got punked by the Warriors?

Exactly, he didn't have Curry, Thompson and Green. So that changes the perception of how 'great' he is. LeBron is better than Durant, Durant is just getting so much help that he's got free shots and free trips to the lane. Don't get me wrong, Durant is an incredible player - but this whole new The Coli wave of 'Durant is better than LeBron' hasn't figured out yet that this is a team sport where team mates actually influence your ability to perform well..

Sorta like how Lebron played and won when he had 3 all stars and clutch shooting with the Heat and Kyrie & Love last year


LeExcuses u stans come up with

The "Dream Shake" coming out party was when he abused...REPEATEDLY abised D Rob with it. So now KD is doing something akin to that abuse to Lebron?



Some of you guys are simply shyt posters

Over the first two games -

Are you even bothering to watch the games?

D-Rob still got his in that series and he played reasonably well - Hakeem was just far more dominant and had his way with him for much of the series. Similar thing is happening between Durant and LeBron. Durant's holding LeBron to around 40% shooting (which is even more impressive when you take into account Bron's attempts have mostly been in the paint in transition) when he's the primary defender, and he's shooting an absurdly high percentage when LeBron's defending him.

the heat had 3 all star including LeBron. he never had 3 other all stars before. The issue was that the Heat had no one else. u cant say that about warriors since the only on that team with a FMVP is andre iguodala

23ppg on 45% shooting is reasonably well he's not a PG, a MVP center shooting 45% is a low percentage

for a player at his standards who was the MVP that year, that was very underwhelming.

You didn't watch that series. You can move along now.

I've been following the NBA for 20 years and this is the first time I've ever heard someone say David Robinson played reasonably well.

you know damn LeBron cant get away with losing while averaging 23 on 45% shooting with the opposition averaging 35ppg without getting burned for it.

stop acting so fukking stupid breh

You clearly have absolutely no idea of what you're talking about.

I can tell by how you're framing your argument that you don't know what you're talking about. I doubt you've even watched the entirety of that series, and are just going off highlights and regurgitating what others said about it.

so u want the warriors to do what ? not get the 2nd best player in the L that was available ? was the warriors posed to say nah lets respect the spirit of competition and lets pass on KD ?



did u grill bron for bailing on the Heat ? like Pat riley was gon stand Pat and not get better talent around Bron after we lost to the spurs ?

I don't blame the Warriors. I don't really 'blame' KD. They can do what they want and if they wanted to form the Monstars and could, its their prerogative. Every team tries to maximize their talent. Personally I've maintained that what KD did was competitively lame and an indictment on his basketball character. Not as a human being but to join the team that beat you after you choked, a team that legitimately doesn't need you to win a title and the best regular season team in history is lame when you're a guy that is not only a franchise player, but an MVP level player on a contender yourself. It was wack. But that's just me, a fan who wants to be entertained by competition and doesn't think having an unbeatable team for the next 3-4 years is actually any fun. I didn't like LeBron leaving Cleveland and I didn't like him going to Miami because in a weird way I didn't think Miami deserved a player like that. And that ain't hate as my pops is from Miami and I grew up a Canes fan and a casual Heat fan. But it was also undeniable that management had done a trash job of putting a team around LeBron. His #2 was Wally Szerwhatever man. So I couldn't blame him for leaving.

Lebron will never go to the West, he might never see the NBA Finals again

well he said he rather lose in the earlier rounds than lose in the finals so it might work out for him
