Yo why Stephen A Smith go off on Chris Broussard like this lmaoooooo

[Archangel]

Naw Chris is wrong,the situations aren't similar at all

People forget that series is when Bron found out Delonte was knocking down his moms

Also Bron didn't leave to join the Celtics(the team that beat him)

Bron didn't go to a team that was just 73-9

Bron didn't go to a team coming off back to back finals appearances

Bron didn't go to a team with the reigning 2 time league MVP

Bron also didn't have a teammate the caliber of Westbrook when he left Cleveland

Bron built a super team in MIA

Durant is joining a team that just a month ago people were saying is the greatest team of all time

I seriously dont see how anybody can try to say the situations are the same

Breh ate good off this post. 130+ daps speaking nothing but truth.

 

[AlbertPullhoez]

This nikka was up at press conferences with Russ giggling at Steph's defense, blew a 3-1 lead, joined the same team he choked said lead to and left the homie Russ on stuck

That's weak im sorry

And it ain't even like KD played his best in those last 3 games. shyt they most likely get to the Finals if he plays better in Game 6 on his homecourt

 

[Dwight Howard]

Chris is wrong, Lebrons team was nowhere what OKC is. Also Lebron joined another team, he didn't join Boston. + I believe that Warriors without Durant were up their with Lebron Heat and then they added Durant to that team

Yea he didnt join boston he created a better team.

 

[Based Lord Zedd]

Situations aren't the same at all. KD was on an excellent team with good talent and LeBron had one of the worst supporting casts to ever make it to the NBA Finals. Maybe only Iverson made it with worse

Cavs mad the finals in the 06-07 season. LeBron left the 09-10 Cavs. Those are not even same teams, not counting LeBron only 3 players from the 06-07 team are on the 09-10 team.

You just gave LeBron a pass for leaving the 09-10 Cavs because the 06-07 Cavs were trash.

This argument is completely pointless. It doesn't even matter if the situations are comparable. Why is it so important for people to drive the narrative that Durant's choice is worse than LeBrons?

 

[Big Boss]

What about when he ledt Miami AGAIN..

He had Wade, Bosh still and left for Kyrie and Love trying to recreate another superteam in Cleveland

Tbe first time he went from 1st in the East to joing his superfriends in miami while promising "Not one, Not two, not three..." And talking a bunch of shyt

KD didnt say anything except hes going to GS. He likes the culture and the selfless mentality. He put 9 years with ONE team and failing every year, hes earned a chance to win a ring before he loses his prime. Totally different then Lebron leaving at like 24 and trying to get on every superteam he can to get a ring

Kyrie and love had never been to playoffs before bron went back

 

[Homeboy Runny-Ray]

Nah, I agree with Chris, this is the same in that the if you can't beat them, join em mentality. Bron went to a stacked team and KD is doing the same thing. Stephen A bringing up the Gloria/Delonte thing as a counterpoint tho.

how is it the "cant beat em, join em mentality"? when did Miami beat Cleveland?

what stacked team did LeBron go to? wade was there. and bosh came over from Toronto. who else was on that 2011 heat team that made them so stacked? they were one of the weakest interior teams in the league that season.

Cavs mad the finals in the 06-07 season. LeBron left the 09-10 Cavs. Those are not even same teams, not counting LeBron only 3 players from the 06-07 team are on the 09-10 team.

the 09-10 cavs weren't much better. mo Williams is the only name that rings a bell.

nobody is ripping Durant for leaving the thunder. its the fact that he joined the warriors. that would be like LeBron joining the Celtics in 2010.

come on man. this isn't rocket science.

 

[Stack Money]

@ the LeBron slurpers in here doin mental gymnastics to pretend this ain't like him goin to Miami, no one's sayin its similar cause of who beat them before they left we talkin bout the "leavin your OG team to join a superteam" aspect of their situations so miss me wit that "he didn't go to the Celtics so its not the same" straw man.

Bron built a super team in MIA

Durant is joining a team that just a month ago people were saying is the greatest team of all time

I seriously dont see how anybody can try to say the situations are the same

Bron didn't build shyt in MIA he was literally the last of the big 3 to join up and all they needed after that were role players to put around them, the team went to the fukkin finals their first year together you actin like they toughed it out for a few years gettin supplementary pieces until big name FAs decided to sign to play wit LeBron when all their "buildin" was done that one off season.

And nobody said their situations are "the same" we said "similar" so your other points are just overly technical nonsense goin on about the record of their new team the previous season and shyt when that was never the argument, yall Bron stans intentionally bein obtuse like you don't know why people makin that comparison when he's the one that started this "superstars playin together" trend.

CACs

MAD


KD goin to GS officially ends LBJ title hopes till he retires



id be mad too

EXACTLY thats why all these people furious cause they Bron cocksuckers who know its over for they man he barely beat the Warriors this year after gettin an assist from the league he gon be losin every year to this team, that streak of makin the finals every year they be braggin bout gonna come back to haunt them he bout to be like 3-8 in the finals.

 

[Thegospel]

lol.....if they were so good why were they a lottery team when lebron left ? couldnt even sniff the playoffs in the weaker conference.

the thunder have the talent to win it all, but KD has already given. hes 27-28 and already ring chasing like hes 35. this is pathetic breh

How many times you bron fakkits gonna tell half truths? Lying for him like he your cousin

 

[☑︎#VoteDemocrat]

ESPN is so stupid these days.

Just give me the scores and keep it pushing.

 

[Homeboy Runny-Ray]

'09 Wade had one of the best seasons ever. He was phenomenal.

wade was jackin his ass off.

if he really had one of the best seasons ever, then that team would've been better than barely over .500 and they would've made it out the 1st round. his supporting cast was no worse than LeBron's that year.

wade always been a tad overrated imo.

Since when has he seen Golden State as a rival. Fans make every damn team rivals now.

they just went to 7 games in the conference finals with the warriors coming back from being down 3-1.

that's the makings of a rivalry breh.

They formed an all-time great team. It's the same thing they all joined together and made a super team. GSW lost Barnes and Bogut so it's not the same team. Lebron, Wade and Bosh are better then KD, Curry, and Klay so I don't see how you can say this is 1000X worse

lol @ barnes & bogut.

meanwhile, you purposely leave out draymond green, along with iggy and that critically acclaimed bench.

entire nucleus is still there. they basically just swapped out barnes & bogut for Durant & pachulia.

And what did LeBron do? LeBron was the so called best player in the league, Wade was considered 1a to a lot of people. Wade had already won a championship. They got curb stomped and recruited Ray Allen who many imbeciles said was once better than Kobe Bryant. Boston players said he was sucker. Miami also had All-Star Juwon Howard.

wade was only considered 1A in the eyes of LeBron haters.

ray allen was at the end of his rope. he hasn't played since LeBron left.
Juwan howard? LOL. he was in a suit most of the time. this aint 1998.

Bron didn't build shyt in MIA he was literally the last of the big 3 to join up and all they needed after that were role players to put around them, the team went to the fukkin finals their first year together you actin like they toughed it out for a few years gettin supplementary pieces until big name FAs decided to sign to play wit LeBron when all their "buildin" was done that one off season.

he was the last to announce. that doesn't mean he was the last to join.

and the big 3 was all Miami had the 1st year. that team was not a finished product in 2011. and they had no low-post game whatsoever.

I don't think anybody has a problem with Durant leaving OKC. its who he left them for. thats the problem.

If he joined sooner he woulda announced it soonerthey were good enough to get to the finals and woulda won if LeBron hadn't went ghost in the 4th quarters. Obviously errbody has a problem wit who he chose to go to but the reason ain't got shyt to do wit them beatin him it ain't like these cats cryin were the ones on the team who took that Lthey really just tight cause the Warriors who they already don't like are gonna be unbeatable and most of them are Bron fans doubly pissed knowin he gonna likely be gettin that work from the dubs every finals effectin his legacy.

 

[The_Sheff]

that's the makings of a rivalry breh.

It's not a rivalry just because it was a good series. The Saints and Falcons are rivals and both teams been ass for a long time. Michigan and Ohio State are rivals. The Cardinals and Cubs are rivals.

Folks here just make up rivalries every year depending on the matchups. You cant just look at who the best players in the NBA are and determine every other top player is their rival.

They got curb stomped and recruited Ray Allen who many imbeciles said was once better than Kobe Bryant. Boston players said he was sucker. Miami also had All-Star Juwon Howard.

You ain't too bright are you? They recruited Ray after winning a title. You really trying to hype up adding juwan Howard in 2011?

you don't win 66 games with a shytty cast. And LeBron was inefficient thtoughout that finals run. Other players stepped up. In the finals nobody showed up including LeBron.

Not to mention they had a 2-1 lead on Boston in 2010 when LeBron inexplicably quit on his team and rumors swirled that Delonte West was dikkin down his momma. That team had Shaq, Jamison, Mo Williams.

You have no grasp on what happened when. That team that won 66 games didn't make the finals. They didn't make it because nobody on the team shot 40% besides LeBron the entire conference finals. As the the 2010 team, you're really trying to gas up 38 year old Shaq who wasn't even playing 24 minutes a game? Mo Williams, who made 1 career all star game as a third string injury replacement? Jamison, who was a key contributor on how many title teams? That same team minus LeBron not only wasn't a playoff team, but one of the worst in the league a year later at 19 wins, even losing 26 in a row at one point.

 

[The_Third_Man]

Chris did have a point though. Cleveland was up 2-1, had given Boston one of ther worst home playoff losses ever and then Bron went MIA

Then Lebron joined the HEAT, not the CELTICS

The Heat wasn't great team that year before Bron Joined them

 

[bl2k8]

Then Lebron joined the HEAT, not the CELTICS

The Heat wasn't great team that year before Bron Joined them

The GOAL is the same. Create the quickest/easiest route to the title by playing with other all stars who are in their prime. No not everything is exactly the same, but there are similarities and I'm convinced that had Bron never left Cleveland, KD never would have left OKC. As much as Bron apologist wanna deny it, he is always going to be known as the poster child for all this. KD just took it to the next level with the team he went too
