Like it or Not: Durant will be remembered as better than Lebron...

a 73 win team that lost. yall conveniently leave that out to fit your agenda.

yall wanna give Bron a pass so bad for starting the stacked team nonsense this era that it's hilarious. KD upped him one.

LWO 2019 title lock. :blessedmagic:

lebron being on all squad got yall confused now huh on one hand its fukk lebron on the other hand its title locks ? all he did was ensure that your team gets smacked around by GSW for the next few years

 

[I AM WARHOL]

I dont think KD will be remembered as better than LeBron because Lebron has a lot more stans and the media has a love affair with him (due to endorsements, hype, early nike push etc) but I think KD is better. I think KD will be criminally underrated when its all said and done due to hurtboys in the media. The fact that ppl still try to perpetuate this false narrative that Lebron is on some untouchable pedestal when compared to Durant is enough to show me the picture they'll try to paint when they are both retired

It's still title over everything. Don't get it twisted.

Lets be real. On anyother team KD may just be a contender. The way I view players is how far they seem to push a team/how much they do for them. GS is so good he doesn't have to do much of anything, he is allowed to have off night. Hell he had multiple shytty games against houston, but who cared like that? If it was lebron the world would have ended and that right there should show you who is more consistent and has higher standards. Another level to this is that if he didn't join GS who was at the mountain top already (Bron joined a middling team with an all time great to combat the boston celtics super team) who would KD be really? He'd probably still have that same OKC rep. If he joined portland/wizards (any decent middling team) and he was the piece to put them over the top and he beats bron bron (I think KD on those teams have about the same talent as 2016 cavs) then I'd have no problem saying KD was better. GS fans are very aware of the huge talent disparity yet still act like the individual pieces deserve that much praise, yet its just become "Damn this one guy kicked all of our asses, lets jump him." But if I know on an even playing field he winning, individually its impossible to consider any of them better.

That means nothing to the conversation. Cavs were supposed to be swept. Warriors have 4 all-stars, now 5.

True, like a lot said....surprised that Kyrie-less Cavs team made it to the Finals and even still sweeping Raps again. Bron could've really made a great case of being goat if he could've lead that 2018 Cavs team to the championship.

 

[ProlificLurker]

Nah

 

[Fukwatutalkinwatisaylaw]

@Styles no need for the neg we disagree are u Kd?..are u a warriors fan?

 

[Liquid]

Nope

 

[SadimirPutin]

No he won't

You can twist and turn and try to tell yourselves this but he wont

 

[IVS]

GTFOH! Lebron is the player of this era. Not KD and KD will never be since he pulled that bish move. He can have the 5 rings or whatever other accolades, he wont be congruent to lebron when its said and done.

 

[HiphopRelated]

No, because the people that were here watching won't say it.

He probably should be in contention, but lebron/nike has the media in the bag...they can't even mention the man's name on television without prefacing it with "the best player in the game" like it's his official title on some "the most honorable, Elijah Muhammad" type shyt... I witnessed a concerted effort from the media to preemptively force the finals MVP on Bron before the series even started...and in the aftermath of the sweep they were damn in tears mad at the warriors cause they took another ring from Bron... KD is a contemporary and peer at the same position that will likely finish with more rings, including the nod in head to head finals matchups...same with Duncan...it's just flabbergasting how the media push to make him the GOAT is forced. .. It's a unique situation that you don't see with any other player

Its because the media also understands the difference is their circumstances. They are applying context and not just result.

Like the context of LeBron jumping all over the league for roster refreshes every 4 years and calling him the GOAT for squeaking passed a middling pacers team in the first round
