All this revisionism about how the media is and was pulling for Bron is so fukking decitful and hypocritical and totally in brand for you cili bedwetters :russ::russ::russ::russ::russ::russ::russ::russ::russ::russ:


Kevin problems are his own

Jay Williams basically admitted that the media narratives seeped into the locker room and broke up the team. That was all to help Bron win in the end.
Get KD off the Warriors and now the West is wide open.
Shannon Sharpe was gleeful talking about it.

Y’all really believing this agenda bullshyt from Ethan. Breh was writing love ballads about Steph and Kerr even before KD arrived. He’s a major reason why people were brainwashed into thinking Draymond was a superstar and called him the leagues top center at one point.

He was anti KD from the jump and KD called him out. He’s rightfully called out the media more than anybody the last few years and called them groupies but y’all wanna believe what the media say about him :snoop:
Why would he write anything bad about Kerr and Steph before KD got here? What could he possibly say negative about either one of them?

The media just tried to give bron an mvp this season using narratives like "Kobe's death" and "he's 34" despite there being being a much more deserving player and bron playing with a top 5 player. Rewind some years back, they tried to give bron a finals mvp in a losing effort just so he wouldnt have to walk away a loser. They shyt on Kd for stacking the deck and conveniently forget bron has done it 3 times AND they were damn near begging for a Kawhi/AD/Bron trio. The media is biased as fukk when it comes to lebron.

very true I can't argue against this at all

Yep KD would have gotten all the praise in the world back then.

He would have been called the best player in the world

Folks were back then was still mad at lebron.


The debates back then would have been KD>>>>>>>>>>Lebron



Was that a foul on Lebron tho? :lupe:

OKC's fault for bullshytting all game regardless :manny:

The narratives for this game was that KD such a "polite guy, even when arguing with the refs" - Mike Breen

"Lebron and Durant arguably the two best players in the league."

He saw what Bron did but forgot that the Heat came out the gate so trash and flawed in 2011, that the narrative often flip flopped to portray them as underdogs at times during their first 2 years... that ended up benefiting Lebron, bc his inevitable win felt "earned" to the public.

Whereas with KD joining GSW, there was nothing to wipe that stigma of "taking the easy way out". Just easy work. 16-1 for a 'ship in year 1.
Yeah for every "MIAMI IS UNBEATABLE" take there were just as many "THIS TEAM IS INHERENTLY FLAWED" takes.

shyt in real time most people were picking OKC in the 2012 finals.

Jay Williams is a fukking hater himself tho

He was legit mad that Warrior fans were giving Steph MVP chants. He's the last person to talk about media narratives breaking up the Warriors.

We gotta stop with this KD trying to copy Lebron shyt especially when the Warriors had a max slot when Lebron went to Miami
There's some inherent differences here between KD and Bron...

Bron was the biggest superstar the game had seen since Jordan, and like Mike, before Bron actually won a ring he was already considered the greatest player and an All-Time great. Kevin Durant was definitely known as a great player but his stature pre-GS was not anywhere near that level...

He's said in his own words that he always measured himself up to LeBron, his first mistake was not realizing they were on different levels to start with. That's KD living a different reality in his own head...

KD took way less heat for going to GS than Bron took for going to Miami, anyone who was around to remember The Decision and its aftermath, it's really not an argument to be made against that. Now, LeBron did earn some goodwill back when he started winning in Miami, but let's not forget he lost Year 1 in Miami and that made a LOT of people happy...

The problem with KD is he never has seemed to understand that there were few parallels, if any, beyond the surface between his move and Bron's. He's trying to copy LeBron's career and has shown a complete delusion in the circumstances surrounding each's career...

If anybody was a media darling it was KD until he made the move to GS, for 9 years he was probably the most well-liked superstar basketball player. Even before The Decision, while it wasn't on the levels of post-Decision, LeBron was never the most "liked" player. He was used to a certain level of criticism and his shoulders were strong enough to carry all the animosity thrown at him afterwards...

This all boils down to that. KD had one "bad" headline written about him in OKC and had a fukking meltdown. He wants to be the most liked and shirk criticism, so because he didn't catch criticism like that in OKC, he thought he could go to GS and get the same treatment just because he's better than Steph; it's also evident now that KD puts a strong onus on who's "better" in basketball. I mean, we all know it matters to all athletes to a degree, but KD appears to be consumed by the notion of who is "better" and it fukks with his relationships with media and teammates alike...

I do think dude is a likeable cat but it isn't really deniable that he's quite insecure and bytchy at this point. It's like dude, relax. You're at worst a Top 15 basketball player ever if you never play another game. You're a 1%'er of all black people financially. You've been blessed with gifts and relationships that people work their entire lives and never achieve...

He does a lot of complaining about how "bad" he has it with the media and is tone deaf with understanding how that lands when he says this. He doesn't have it as bad as Bron has gotten it, AI had it worse, Vick had it worse, Bonds has it worse, and in the grand scheme of things a bunch of us would trade lives with this nikka any day for what is "bad" in his life and let him have the "bad" in ours...

I've been a fan his entire career but enough's enough with this dude and his dramatics...



Bruh you beat me to it, only on thos forum and this forum only do you heat about there being this mass media pull for LeBron. Completely revisionist and we all old enough to remember Bron's career in real time...


We gotta stop this whole KD trying to copy Lebron thing their stories and paths are different. when Lebron left the Cavs it wasn’t just any team he left it was his “hometown” team a lot of the backlash he received was of the racist ownership type. Think about the letter Dan Gilbert wrote (If something like that was done today Dan Gilbert would have been fined more than 100,000). The Boston big three was formed to stall him out from winning and they succeeded. Lebron has been know to get into his own head mentally on the court something KD has not. KD was drafted to the SuperSonics and that team was sold on the back of what his potential would be. Out West KD had to battle with the Lakers(who won two championships), The Mavs (who won a championship), and The Spurs(who won a championship) that’s even before the Warriors won one. KD’s path to a championship was much harder especially when the Thunder didn’t know how to build a team. Because of the lockout Dan Gilbert fought hard to change how the players and league shared revenue so when the cap spiked there was max money the exact year KD was a free agent finishing his second contract. KD was able to make Max contract money even taking a little less compared to Bron on the heat. When Bron went to the Cavs again he was signing one year max deals to leverage moves he wanted. KD is an all time talent his resume speaks for itself but those cacs were talking weirdo shyt and rarely asked about on the court shyt

Post 2010 all time greats Lebron, KD, Curry and I guess you can throw Kawhi up there have been battling but for some reason they are never in the same conference so the finals is the only place where it’s best vs best for everything so it makes since KD would see himself as the best in the World because of the last three seasons
