It was a significant subject of every Lakers coaching interview in the process, sources said

As soon as he tries to go off and really win on his own, he winds up with the huge mess in Brooklyn.
And KD was beat by the same Warriors team in the playoffs a year before. So the Warriors win a Championship then KD joins them afterwards and now he is the reason they are winning championships? Doesn't add up. [Reply]

The Warriors beat the Cavaliers the previous year without KD (4-2)?
Lebron is a generational talent no doubt and he deserves all the accolades he receives. Definitely a top player in this leagues history. He starred in 8 straight Finals. Is that 10 total? [Reply]

You're referring to the postseason in which both Kyrie and Love got hurt, right? The season in which the Cavs ended the season with a starting lineup of LeBron, Tristan Thompson, Iman Shumpert, Timofey Mozgov, and Matthew Dellavedova against Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green, Andre Iguodala, and Harrison Barnes?

There's a reason Durant won Finals MVP both years (and why Curry has never won one in his entire career). KD was the best player on those Warriors teams. [Reply]

It's funny how Curry is the star of his team yet is 3>1 versus Lebron in the Finals and is looked at as not as good as Lebron.
I can't stand Lebron, but he was a much better overall player than Curry is. Lebron is top 5 for sure..Curry isn't and I don't think ever really should considered that high. [Reply]
Yeah, I'm not trusting the Celtics after this one whatsoever. You need to close this series out tonight. Warriors beat either of these teams running away. [Reply]

Yea, I'm with you on this.
Curry absolutely is amazing on offense. But when you stack him up against Lebron, MJ, Wilt, and the like... All players that could change a game defensively. Or at least, weren't players that the other team was actively seeking out to take advantage of... [Reply]
