What's the difference between KD leaving OKC to ring chase and Lebron going to the Heat?

[Take_Note]

I'm genuinely curious

Edit: already a similar thread on this. Sorry

KD not leaving his hometown

That's all I got

That is a fair point

Kd joining a team that just beat him in a 7 game WCF series in which he blew a 3-1 lead. LeBrons 2010 cavs were better than the 2010 heat and even though he was joining wade and bosh he was still taking more of a risk than Durant would be.

LeBron was the Superman of the Heat. He didn't leave his team to go to a superior team and be Green Arrow.

KD is lookin like a sucka

There's a lot of revisionist here. Like the bolded, this is after the fact. The national narrative in 2011 was LeBron went to Miami, to "Wade's team" because he couldnt cut it on his own. He wasnt viewed as a superman, he was looked at as robin to Wade's batman.

That, and durant never really moves the stanning or ratings needle like LeBron does for whatever reason. Was he really hyped like that in and before college?

in hindsight that's a really embarrassing moment for Cavs fans

Fixed. I don't think its called revisionist history when a stupid idea is proven false. Everybody with sense knew Lebron was better than Wade

This is true. The only problem is that that itself was an instant revision. The best player in the L convo pre-Decision was Kobe and Bron and that's it. Conversely Steph was actually considered the best player in the L this year coming off back to back MVPs (Bron was the one coming off the back to back MVPs back then) and GSW just embarrassed KD and his squad. KD would actually be doing what people accused Bron of doing (ring chasing, Robin, teaming up with rivals etc.).
