And you'd be right.

But isn't it funny how this discussion of LeBron v. Durant in this thread is shaped by the circumstances that they found themselves in, and the path(s) of those around them - not because LeBron is this magical being who's on another level to Durant.

Damn you got me there.

That can be said about any of these players really though. There's so many variables that go into assessing these guys teams and careers that it's hard to make judgements about them with absolute certainty. Couple of made/unmade baskets here and a favorable/unfavorable playoff matchup there and certain guys legacies could be completely changed.

The Thunders failures get blamed on Westbrook but it was both Westbrook and KDs fault, they would resort to hero ball late in games. Either miss shots or turn the ball over, and forget about their teammates.

KD needs to be held more accountable for the Thunders shortcomings and not just Russ. Those two couldve won a championship. Warriors stans shyt on Russ to try to deflect attention off the snake. Bottom line is hes a coward, a p*ssy, a snake and Lebron is still better

Stats aside, Russ was better than KD in the 14' and 16 playoffs


KD is overrated as fukk, he had huge efficiency drops in the playoffs most years in OKC,

Curry has been better than Durant since 2015

You give the 2010-2014 Heat KD; the Heat wouldn't have lost the 2011 NBA Finals. The Spurs wouldn't have taken the Heat to game 7 and Spurs wouldn't have ran the Heat out of the gym in five games either. KD offensive game is all around elite, and defense can never sag off him. With the talent that Cavs currently have nobody wouldn't have to stand around and wait for someone create a shot for them if KD replace Lebron. David Blatt wouldn't have gotten fire because KD talent will perfectly fit in a motion offense and KD is very coachable.

Russell and Harden didn't have to suppress their abilities to accomodate Durant neither the Warriors stars have to sacrifice their numbers.

You fools are disrespecting an elite player who have an flexible talent which allows him to play in any system that a coach wants to implement.

You can't do that with Lebron.

This the part nobody wants to admit. You drop KD off anywhere and he's still KD. You drop Bron off, then some adjustments need to be made for him to look like Bron. Both of these players are great, but this misnomer that the only way to win is to play the way Bron plays is a joke. KD wouldn't have to avg as many assists or rebounds for that team to succeed. You got people in here saying he wouldn't make it past the Pacers even though we watched a ragtag Boston team leaning on a rookie, Horford (who Love is better than), and a bunch of effort guys like Rozier, Smart, and Morris make it to the ECF is laughable. If you don't think KD with that Cavs roster couldn't make it to the ECF, then that hate is too thick in your blood. And again, for the life of me, I don't understand this narrative that this Cavs team is "terrible". They have the best roster in the entire East, and people acting like Bron is performing miracles out there.
