You mean that same team that Lebron only beat because he got somebody suspended.Fate "plugged" him up 3-1 on to GSW in the 2016 WCF and he didn't want the smoke....sit your fukking dikkriding ass down.
For such a superior offensive talent you would think that Lebron would've been the one taking that game winning shot in Game 7 that won that title in 2016..... Oops that was somebody else
....Didn't fate have Steph Curry guarding Lebron with 8 seconds left in Game 1 of the 2018 NBA finals..... I'm sure KD wouldn't have pass that ball to George Hill

No stanley?
And yet here you are with some bullshyt about him bringing his team back from the dead like he didn't have an equal-scorer in Kyrie splitting the offensive duties on his team (one whom arguably scored more momentum-changing buckets than he did)? I see you quickly shifted the argument about his scoring ability into this generality nonsense. Not to mention all the luck, fortune, and officiating swings that went the Cavs way after they were down 1-3 when things were at a balance. Stop, I stress -- stop trying to layer this bullshyt ass narrative. It doesn't fit in with reality. And it never will, no many how many times y'all wanna repeat it.

That's exactly what is happening.
Notice that every time Lebron is bought up, they always have to call him "The best player in the world".
That is not by accident.

And that was last year. After what LeBron did in the 2018 playoffs it'll probably be even worse this year.
Teams do crazy stuff to adjust to LeBron. Meanwhile, Durant isn't even the main guy teams are adjusting to on his own team. Durant is a better shooter, but LeBron is the far better offensive player because he's more versatile, has a higher bball IQ, is a better passer, and does a better job imposing his will on the game.

Shifting the argument again I see - you know, you might want to stick your hand up if you're drowning.

If OKC were fortunate enough to play a Warriors squad with a suspended Draymond, injured Bogut and Iggy, and got all the other luck/fortune swings that the Cavs did after being down 1-3 when the Basketball Gods had the balance level, they would've beaten the Warriors 4-1 or 4-2.
He doesn’t get to the rim consistently because he’s a better shooter than he is finisher. Dude might be a good finisher but to say he’s a better finisher than Bron is pure homerism. Bron is an elite finisher and that might be his best skillset. As for ball-handling, KD might have some excellent dribble moves in his arsenal but he doesn’t have the ball-handling responsibilities that Bron has. Increase KD’s ball-handling duties and you’ll see an increase in turnovers.Goal is to put the ball in the basket.
To LeBron's credit he had a completely different role that year, he was sharing the court with 2 all-stars, KD was trying to elevate the play of guys like Kevin Martin and Kendrick Perkins that year. LeBron is capable of putting up big numbers like KD, but he's just not as pure with it, he doesn't have that natural scorer's touch on his jumpshot, and that's why KD's the better scorer.
Playmaking and initiating offense is completely different from ball handling. KD has a better handle, he has a mean ass crossover that gets him separation, and more importantly he can get separation in iso situations, not just off the PnR, which a lot harder.
KD doesn't need to get to the rim to score, that's why he doesn't always go to the rim. He gets separation off the dribble unlike LeBron and doesn't need to stiff arm so his finishes aren't as difficult as LeBron's, but he finishes with the greats.

nuh-uh*They had the luxury of facing a Curry that was still playing himself into game shape though.

LeBron is the total package on offense, only player that is in his league is James Harden
Not a homer. Not a Warriors fan. KD's game unlocks the floor to allow him better and cleaner finishes at the rim because he's so lethal at every scoring aspect of the game. You'd live with LeBron taking jumpshots, as seen in previous finals. KD will light you up if you do that.
Turnovers aren't inherently related to ball handling ability. Most turnovers are passing turnovers, not handling turnovers. LeBron has a very basic handle, KD does not, he has an advanced handle that he gets separation from defenders off the dribble. LeBron has to use his off hand and physicality to get to the rim.
LeBron can score in a more variety of ways than Durant. Also a better passer and leader on the offensive side of the ball.
LeBron haters get bytched again
