    A big thing people seem to forget is that Durant and OKC were up on the GSW 3-1 in the WCF and choked. After GSW advanced, Igoudala even said OKC was the better team. LeBron didn't choke a 3-1 lead in the ECF to Miami and then go running off to join them.

    The nice words and respect are definitely appreciated.

    But....

    Kevin Durant is still a b****.

    I think the worse part of it is.......
    KD was up 3-1 on that team and could not close the deal.
    KD gifted them 3 games (from a okc perspective)

    Only if we beat them. KD goes to whatever team defeats him.

    Not only that, but the team that Durant JUST blew a 3-1 lead against in the WCF... And he joins them. Just unfathomable to anyone who has ever experienced an ounce of competitiveness.

    Lol, it's funny to me the parts of history that people "forget" to push their hate.

    Do you not remember Barkley basically forcing his trade to join Drexler and Hakeem? Or Garnett and Allen wiggling their way to join Pierce in Boston? Plenty of other examples of varying extreme-ness.

    Saying it was "by FAR" the most talented team in the NBA is a bit of a stretch unless you're just trying to discount their success and Lebron's role (which is likely since you're clearly a hater). If they were that talented, they would have won far more easily. Without Lebron, that team possibly never even makes the finals once, let alone win two titles.

    Imagine the lifestyle diff. Moving from OKC to San Fran. He probably feels like he went to heaven.

    I think we would've had a better shot, but I thought more than likely it'd be Boston.

    Um, Barkley & Garnett were traded. Lebron, Wade & Bosh all conspired to play with each other while still with their respective teams. Lebron went where he could stack the deck most. Also when Barkley came here & KG to Boston, both were past their primes & on the downside of their careers.

    The only one forgetting history is YOU. Conspiring to form a superfriends team with 3 superstars is probably worse because these guys already made their minds up before they left their teams. Lebron stacked the deck with his buddies & started this trend KD gets blamed for lol

    Bobby Brown's influence and impact is obviously more profound than we all realize. Crazy.
