Durant leaving one of the greatest players ever to join the best RS team ever

[Hack Wilson - real]

Nigga up 3-1, chokes and joins them. LOL

How's the backlash compared to LeBron after The Decision? I am not as involved in American pop culture as I used to be and have little insight. I'm not a twitter/instagram/vine kinda guy.

fans are mad but the media isnt nearly as hard in him as Lebron 6 years ago

did lebron have westbrook on his team already?  no

not even close to the same

Was okc favored to win it all this year? It doesn't all come down to one player, as a team, that Cleveland team was expected to go farther than okc .. I believe they mighta even had a better record . They were one of the best defensive teams in the league. That means Lebron clearly had the opportunity to win there, but elected to go the easier route.

cavs were never favorites to win the title, where are you pulling this from?  nobody ever expected them over Boston

cleveland was favored over boston in 2010

and then heading into the playoffs, they were favored to win it all over the lakers based on season records. do some research.

cleveland: 61 wins
lakers: 57 wins
celtics: 50 wins


but lebron didn't have enough

[Hack Wilson - real]

that shows more to the greatness of Lebron James, the best player of our life time, than it does to the team he left that became a lottery team afterwards

he never had a chance at beating those Celtics teams though, we were STACKED those years.  shame Perk got hurt and ruined everything.

LOL WASNT CLEVELAND UP 2-1 IN THAT SERIES? STOP THAT....THE ENTIRE TEAM LEFT WIT LEBRON. BOTTOM LINE, THEY HAD A NICE SHOT AT WINNIN AND LEBRON DIDNT GET IT DONE.

HE LEFT A TEAM WIT THE MOST WINS IN THE LEAGUE THAT YEAR TO BUILD A SUPER TEAM IN SOUTH BEACH, AND WENT ABOUT IT IN THE WORST POSSIBLE WAY.....THATS WHY HE GETS MORE BACKLASH THAN DURANT. EVEN THO THEY BOTH DID SOME WEAK SHIT, LEBRON'S WAS WEAKER FOR THE FACT THAT HE ANNOUNCED IT IN A FUNNY STYLE WAY AND THAT HE ACTUALLY LEFT THE STATE HE WAS BORN N RAISED IN.....AND BET MONEY IF MIAMI DIDNT FALL APART IN 2014 N LOST TO SAN ANTONIO, LEBRON WOULDA STAYED THERE N NEVER RETURNED TO CLEVELAND.

wasn't Cleveland up 2-1 over GSW when Love and Irving were out?  2-1 leads from massive underdogs happen breh


those Cavs were ass out except for Bron...there's a reason he leaves them and they go into tank mode.  Durant leaves OKC and they only can go into tank mode if they trade Westbrook to the Celtics for that Nets pick

lol @ thinking the Cavs were better than the Celtics

Yea... Only they weren't massive underdogs, because they were favored to win.

Your point is gettin u nowhere, because Lebron still left a team that was built to win and even favored to win it all. While Durant also left a team that was built to win, they weren't as good and never favored to win it all brobro.

The only reason why the Cavs were good was LeBron... in his prime, he would have made the Bucks a good RS team and "contenders". LeBron was simply much better than Durant is now. But Durant is leaving a player better than LeBron ever had during his career and much better teammates overall. And he is joining the same team that kicked him out of the playoffs who would be favorites to win it all without him. It's like Magic joining the Celtics after the 1984 championship. LOL

Not to mention this:

Nope .. Cavs were an amazing defensive unit, one of the best analytically in the NBA .. They had shooters, bigs, wing defenders, rim protectors, rebounders, three point specialists, pretty much every aspect an NBA team needs covered to compete .. They were considered the deepest team in the league that year .. Revisionists and Lebron lovers such as yourself will re-write history to make it out like Lebron was behind any and all of Clevelands success, but you coulda replaced Lebron wit durant and they still woulda been favored to come out the east .. Analytically, they were on another plateau.. But ima let u cook and rewrite the script to fit your narrative .... Lebron fans love doing that .... In ten years, cats like u guna be claiming that Lebron was single handedly responsible for Clevelands 2016 championship .. You guna make out Kyrie Irving to be Dee Brown or some shit, and play his surroundings down as much as you verbally can to lift your king to the highest regard possible. I've seen it enough times to know.

Irving is far behind prime-Wade, Westbrook or Curry, but he sure as hell ain't no Eric Snow either. I think people will remember that even 10 years from now.

[Sccit]

Lol Eric Snow was not even on the Cavs team in question, try again folks

The Lebron lovers are the ones bringing up comparisons in attempts to show that lebrons move wasn't that bad afterall since durant did it .. Speaking of "grasping"
