Remember in 2012 when OKC faced Miami in the NBA finals, KD was the anti lebron to media and fans

I remember media and fans were rooting for OKC back then. Imagine had KD gotten his first ring over Lebron back then.

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.

The media made Kevin Durant leave the Dubs when he was supposedly all about winning?

The same KD that used the media to talk about how playing with Lebron James was toxic.....he aint had no problems with the media when he used them for that angle.He aint had no problem when the media was and still continues to throw his old running mate Westbrook under the bus

Basically what it comes down to is that Durant only seems to like the media when it tells a side of the story that he likes..well newsflash..it dont always work like that

What is going to happen when Third-Eye-Ky and him start to chafe a bit like all teammates inevitably do.....

You guys and the media actually proved him right about the Lebron shyt by continually misrepresenting what he said.

and he’s defended Westbrook from criticism numerous times

heh

I will say this...KD was right that they would never feel anything beyond a surface level business relationship for him in the Bay Area

Feelings shouldn't matter. LeBron will never be seen as a real Laker yet I doubt he loses sleep over it....Herm Edwards told me you play to win the game :coffee:

Look up the terms "geek", "lame", or "nerd" in the dictionary, and that face is what you will see next to it. :mjlol:

We gotta stop with this KD trying to copy Lebron shyt especially when the Warriors had a max slot when Lebron went to Miami



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

The "who had it harder" thing can be spun any way, but for sure KD hasnt dealt with half the scrutiny and animosity LeBron has. That isn't really up for debate...

As far as on the court, you can debate your points and say KD had it harder but one could counterpoint with how the squads KD was going to battle with were consistently amongst the best in The League. Him failing to get "over the hump" in 9 years in OKC is really an indictment on him and his organization and Westbrook, these guys were annual title contenders and yes, while injuries were a factor in '14 and '15, there were more years injuries weren't...

LeBron played his first 7 years for an organization that didn't draft well, didn't trade well, and didn't coach well. That's an easy counter to any point about who had it harder on the floor, I think many (most?) would take their chances on a better roster in a more competent organization in the tougher bracket, than work with what Bron had in the weaker conference, if they had a choice...

Also Bron came into The League on the bracket that had a mini-dynasty, the Pistons. Outside of SA and LA, Detroit was the next best team of the 00s with six consecutive ECF and two Finals appearances, let's not just blow them off like they didn't exist. That mini-dynasty was immediately followed by another one in Boston, from 2002-03 to 2011-12 Detroit and Boston ran the East, 9 conference Finals appearances, 4 Finals appearances, that's a decade...

Of course in the historical sense those squads aren't dynasties but are a step below, you're naming the Mavs who never did anything in KD's 9 years besides the one lightning in a bottle year (props to them) when Boston and Detroit were annual problems in LeBron's way. And again, there is the thing about who you go into battle with...

@Kinguno (continued):

But who had it tougher on the floor is debatable depending on what you're looking at. It ain't debatable who had more pressure and received more scrutiny in the press from jump...

When I say KD copied LeBron it's in the mapping of his career from the free agency choices to contract structuring to off court branding (Boardroom, 35 Ventures, what do those replicate?). This isn't a knock on KD but there was one guy who did these things in the same fashion before him, the same guy who KD has self volunteered he chased and measured himself to...

That said, I don't blame him for feeling like he's the best player in the world. He should and many don't disagree with him given the last 3 years of work he put out. The issue is his sensitivity with the fact there isn't a consensus he's the greatest. Most basketball heads aren't like idiot Coli posters, most people have a holistic approach to measuring players:

KD played on a team with a 2x MVP and greatest shooter ever, Top 5 point ever and icon of the sport who ran through KD and KD had to join to win a title; was in the same bracket with a 2x DPOY who when his offense popped, people were debating he was better than KD and in some cases the best player in the world, even last postseason before Durant got hurt there were plenty of people putting him above KD based on their playoffs to that point; and the guy he beat in two straight Finals happens to be a guy who went to 8 straight Finals, was a 4x MVP, owned KD head to head before KD went to GS, and is an icon of the sport...

People have this knowledge at their heads and at their fingertips and this negro gets sensitive as hell when there isn't a consensus agreement with how he sees himself? Basketball isn't played in a vacuum. It is a "what have you done for me lately" business, but it's also a sport that salutes the history and accomplishments of great players. People don't forget the work these other guys put in just because Durant goes out and wins...

That's what's wrong with Durant, his seemingly aloofness when it comes to this. Not that he shouldn't view himself as the best player in the world, he's without question in the hat and it's more than arguable...
