He basically used Lebron's own blue print to take several titles away from Lebron thus ending any chance.he had at been universally called the GOAT. [Reply]

Sure he might personally not be happy and I'm sure he understands his titles weigh less because of his decision (same way LeBron's 2 titles in Miami weigh less than the one in Cleveland) but he'll still be remembered as a 3 time FMVP and eventually people will come around to understanding that it was the only basketball move that would made sense for him. He got to go to a place that he could contend for titles while having a premium role on the team. Isn't that what every FA should do? Should he have stayed in OKC and watch Westbrook shoot 9/30 or went home to DC to be coached by Scott Brooks again? [Reply]

LeBron didnt join a 73-9 team so please stop w that. Durant is a bitch who took the easy way out. GS doesnt even need him to win titles and they proved it tonight. They showed a stat Curry is 30-4 wout Durant since Durant joined GS.

LeBron averaged 34-9-9 for an entire postseason.
Different standards.

Would you stop making everything about LeBron? He didnt even make the playoffs. GS is an incredible team and it's really impressive what they are doing. This is the NBA not LBA (LeBron Basketball Association). [Reply]

Lol colluding with Wade and Bosh to create a super team is just as bad. I love when people try to act like it's not. There's a reason they had a championship party before they even played a fucking game. There's a reason LeBron predicted 7 championships and that winning them would be easy. [Reply]

They didnt win 7-championships though and the Heat didnt beat the Cavs in a hard fought 7-game the season before LeBron joined them. It's a terrible comparison and as everyone on here knows I'm no LeBron fan.
Not going to get into this right now though. Id rather talk about the teams left in the playoffs not LeBron vs Durant. [Reply]
Now we get to hear the media suck Steph's dick for playing 1 good game in a 6 game series.
The same media that docks LeBron for losing Finals series where he averaged 36-13-9, 34-12-10, & 34-9-10.

Difference is steph wins and has another level to him in the 4th. He also has never had prototypical size. Makes players better around him. Everyone said they were done without Durant, forgetting curry won without him and took a backseat to him for the team.
Once he gets his groove in a game he is the best. Shown tonight. [Reply]
