nikka what. KD is 7 feet with handles and unlimited range. Might be the best offensive talent of all time. I swear all of this has really diminished KD in peoples eyes. He’s easily 1a/1b with lebron.
A fukking 7 footer with handles and unlimited range and y’all are picking a 6’2 streaky shooter

Folks talking about lebron as if he actually won the Past 2 years or something. Bron didnt just lose the past few finals.. they got destroyed.. thus proving how weak the eastern conference has been. Any team from the east would have gotten waxed the same way.
The KD disrespect is hilarious. He is easily a better player than lebron and will eventually surpass him statistically too. Bron had help too and needed kyrie to win. Kyrie Irving was better than every player on the warriors except KD and Curry.

Somebody been gettin abused these past couple of years if we bein honest
the Number 2,3,4,5 & 6 players ALLL play for the Warriors
Watch the Warriors play without Curry. That offense turns to shyt with Durant as the lynchpin with Curry of the floor. Dude better thank his lucky stars he has Curry on his team because without him dude is still searching for a ring.
Maybe the part where LeBron finished ahead of KD in 10 out of 11 MVP votes so far in their careers?
Was 17-4 against Durant in head-to-head games until Durant joined a 73-win team?
Has been in the Finals picture damn near every single year since Durant joined the league?
LeBron was 1st-team NBA in every single one of KD's first 11 seasons. KD has only been 1st-team NBA in 6.
LeBron has 6 All-Defensive selections and two DPOY runner-up finishes. KD has zero All-Defensive selections and has never received even a single DPOY first-place vote.
KD's greatest accomplishments until joining a 73-win team were losing to LeBron in the Finals and losing a 3-1 lead to the same team LeBron beat.
More NBA GMs say they would start a franchise with LeBron than start a franchise with KD right now. Not in their primes, even right now they'd rather build around LeBron than around KD. NBA GM's say that LeBron is still the best small forward in the league, the most versatile player, the best passer, the best leader, has the highest bball IQ, and forces opposing coaches to make the most adjustments. That's NOW, and LeBron is nearly 34 while Durant is 30 and in his prime. And yet GMs agree across the board that LeBron still better.
Hell, LeBron is "The King" while KD is "The Servant."
MJ just shows how threatened he feels by LeBron's legacy every time he tries to shoehorn someone else over him. LeBron's career has dominated KD's in every way.
20 years from now people will still be watching ESPN Classic and talking about LeBron scoring the final 25 points in Game 5 against Detroit in 2007, dueling for 45 points in game 7 against Boston in 2008, putting up 49-5-6 trying to beat Orlando 1-on-5 in 2009, shutting down MVP D-Rose on both ends of the court in 2011, putting up the 40-18-9 game when Bosh went out and they went down 2-1 to the Pacers in 2012, putting up the 45-15-5 game when they went down 3-2 to the Celtics in 2012, putting up the 37-12-5 game in Game 7 against the Spurs in 2013, going super-saiyon averaging 41 points/game for three games with Love/Kyrie out against the Warriors in 2015, scoring ridiculous 41-16-7, 41-8-11, and then 27-11-11 with the biggest block in history to come back from 3-1 down in the 2016 Finals, and then dragging a horrible Cavs team to the Finals in 2018 with 46-12-5, 44-10-8, 45-8-7, 43-8-14, 42-10-12, 44-5-3, 46-11-9, and 51-8-8 games, all in must-win situations.
Meanwhile, they'll remember that KD....hit a few threes? And not even the biggest ones, as LeBron's got way more game-winners and buzzer-beaters than KD too.
KD ain't even the focus of his own team's offense, that's Curry. He ain't even the 2nd-best shooter on the team, that's Klay. He ain't the most important distributor or even second-best, that's Steph and Draymond. He ain't the focus of the team's defense, that's Draymond, and he ain't second best either, Klay and Iggy both ahead of him. He damn near seven feet tall and he ain't even the best rebounder, Dray and Zaza and every other big man was better than him there.
KD has lucked into a couple of Finals MVPs because the defenses have completely focused on Curry and he's gotten to feast on single coverage and broken plays. He's been able to have the easiest job ever on defense because Draymond and Klay and Iggy do all the heavy lifting there. But everyone knows this ain't his team and has never been his team. He's just an elite cog in a machine that was already elite without him.
KD is a fantastically skilled all-around player. It's amazing that he is nearly seven feet tall and shoots as well as he does. He'll go down as the best beta in NBA history.
That doesn't get you tagged as the best SF of all time.
KD gave these nikkas PTSD y'all!!!!
Kd has no chance at being seen as better than bron, even the retards in this thread arguing it know this.
He’s damn sure not catching bron in points or assists all time.
In what statistic is kd passing him up in?
He’s damn sure not catching bron in points or assists all time.
So you can only name 1 team Jordan faced that can compare to Bron's opponents. I win by default, but I'll go ahead and engage just cause I'm bored at work.

The 2014 Spurs would've mopped the Bulls. Especially with their record setting shooting performance they had in the 2014 series
Jordan faced tougher teams on his way to the finals too
You watched the Christmas game against the Cavs without Curry? Or the Spurs series without Steph? Or Game 1 against the Pelicans without Steph? Do you guys actually watch basketball games or just parrot other peoples talking points?
Whatever they lose offensively with Steph off the floor, they gain defensively, as shown by that "clinic" LeBron put up on the Christmas day game last year when there was no Steph Curry for him to exploit.
No, whatever they lose offensively they do not gain defensively. That statement alone shows you have no idea about the dynamics of the Warriors offense. In the past two regular seasons the Warriors are 19-12 without Curry and 25-5 without Durant. Not to mention the fact that their offensive numbers decline across the board: they go from an elite offense to league average. Steven Kerr and the players themselves have acknowledged time and time again that Curry is the most important player on that team. Durant is an upgrade over Harrison Barnes but he's still a cog in Curry's machine.
Look at the games you're using as evidence. The Warriors beat a Cleveland team that was on the cusp of implosion, a good amount of the players that played that game weren't even on the roster by the end of the season. That same Cleveland team would go on to lose most of their games in January. You're also citing a win against the Spurs' carcass: they didn't even have their best player and their coach for majority of the series. I can assure you that if Curry were out for the playoffs they would not have advanced past the Rockets and the Pelicans would have certainly had a chance to beat them.
