It is funny how people are saying you can't use one series to crown somebody as the best player in the league when the exact same thing happened last year with Lebron. Not sure if KD has surpassed him but he's definitely proving that all the talk of Lebron being head and shoulders above the rest of the league was ridiculous. They are neck and neck but if KD keeps this up I'll have to say he is the best.

kd has the freedom and backup to be one of the best players ever now that he's with gs. he always had the talent to be better than bron, but going to gs proved he doesn't have the heart to be in the goat conversation. one of the best ever, yes. goat contender, no. :yeshrug:


i'm sorry, but kd will never have a goat legacy as long as he's on the warriors. no matter how many titles they win. he's going to have to build something on his own and put a team on his back to the title to be in that conversation. maybe being on gs will teach him what it takes to have the heart of a champion. :manny:


i like kd and i think he's a great player and with consistency he'll be the best. i just don't respect his move to gs. his career will always have a * because of that. :francis:

How do you feel about Bron Bron?

As long as we also agree those same type of actions remove Lebron from the GOAT conversations I totally agree with your statement :obama:

KD is the opposite of streaky. One of the most consistent scorers to ever play the game period
That's what always fukks me up about KD. He rarely goes on those flat out lights out shooting stretches like Klay or Steph where he's just hitting everything at a high volume, but he also never really seems to slump either. His game to game consistency is ridiculous.

So if 2 players that are greater than LeBron play on the same team that won 73 games in a season why are ppl in such awe of Durant or any individual feat either do, this is clearly a missmatch

Because people were on lebrons dikk saying shyt like durant and curry arent even in the same stratosphere saying the gap was so huge betweem them i had to keep hearing that bullshyt and its great to see lebron get outplayed one on one but im more amazed with steph hes seeing more coverage than kd and still ballin this is what happens when hes healthy in the finals

The simple act of joining a 73 win team that had already been to 2 finals and just hoed you in the playoffs is all the proof you need that Durant isn't better than LeBron. Durant knew OKC could easily make next years finals but he wasn't thinking about beating Curry and GSW when he made his decision, nikka was thinking bout Bron. Both him and Curry knew they weren't good enough to get it done on their respective squads and that's how the 2017 Dubs formed. :yeshrug:

Thats false curry would of beat them last year if he wasnt hurt and green wasn't suspended they wernt scared of bron durant was going to the warriors even if the warriors won last year

KD is 7'1, highly motivated and playing with 4 Olympians. Not only that but they don't call anything in Oracle, we all know this.

Good try though.

KD was up 3-1 and went to a team with 4 Olympians in their prime. 3 under 30 years old. THAT'S FEAR.

All this talking is pointless breh, this would be a whole different series if the so called GOAT player could hold KD to under 20 points and slow the game down. He can't. That's why they're losing. And that's why he's not really the GOAT. He's getting beat one on one on every challenge. That can't happen if you are claiming to be chasing Jordan's show and stans are stating you are better than Kobe.
