Will Kevin Durant Kill the Worst Argument in Sports?

[Gangstar8]

If LeBron went to Boston you'd have an argument. As is, nah.

Nah LeBron had his reasons going to a younger better team
He left Miami for the very same reason to go to Cleveland
But kd did was worse

KD made right move was always intrigued to see what he can do in a structured offense really wish he came to Boston but he made a business decision

 

[Big Boss]

igoduala said okc was the best team last playoffs .

@ believing this

I don't understand where the narrative that KD is afraid of LeBron came from. Statistically they play each other fairly evenly.

Lebron

Wins - 18
PPG: 28.8
RPG: 7.1
AST: 6.8
FG%: 51%
3P%: 37%
FT%: 75%

KD

Wins - 6

PPG - 28.9
RPG: 6.8
AST: 3.7
FG%: 48%
3P%: 40%
FT%: 86%

If that's playing scared, I wish Paul George would be more frightened when he hits the court. Maybe my Pacers would actually be relevant.




Those cavs and heat teams were better than those OKC teams. It's not that deep.

KD doesn't seem to understand that either. He said 20 years from now all people will remember is how many rings he won. Wrong! Wilt scored 100 in a game but we don't consider him the GOAT because of circumstances. Bill Russell won 11 rings but we don't consider him the GOAT because of circumstances. Everyone will remember how Durant got his ring(s), and yes I assume he'll win one this year or next. But history is not without context.

LeBron took a lot of flack for going to Miami. Can you imagine if he went to Boston?

Most people have those players you listed in they top 5-10 though so not understanding the point

Is "top 5-10" #1?

That's what I'm talking about. What are you talking about?

GOAT = Greatest of All Time
The GOAT = The Greatest of All Time
The is singular. One. 1.

A lot of people would argue Wilt as GOAT though

can only be 1 "goat" and neither lebron or KD will ever be it, so im not understanding the argument you are trying to lay out. Are you implying that if KD wins 3-4+ rings he wont have an argument to be top 10?

Its because Durant has played Lebron 23 games in his career and has lost 18 of those games. Its also understood that the reason for KD and the Warriors teaming up is basically to finally beat Lebron. That "Im sick of always being #2" speech he gave a few years ago, that was obv about Lebron.

You say Bron's teams were better because he proved it by winning. Thunder were actually the favorite going into the 2012 Finals.

I only seen two times when superstars in their prime had to split up

Seeing as how his team couldn't get out of the West but one time during is OKC tenure, I really doubt LeBron was anywhere near KD's mind when he decided to go to GSW lol.

Well he has a losing record and joined up with GS to beat him so..

OKC were up 3-1 to the warriors in there first truly sort of healthy season since then.I think it's pretty obvious. Golden State is making it to the finals and Lebron has been to 7 straight and he himself said he thought he could add something to the team. A team that has been to 2 straight finals and 4 points away from winning back to back titles? He wanted to beat Lebron. Simple

Ok, go back, follow the thread, get up to speed, then respond when you know what's being discussed instead of just wasting your two pennies.
