    It has everything to do with durant lol. He cant win with these cats. He needs 3 other all stars to win.

    Meanwhile look at the cavs team lebron took to the finals...

    Durant has never been able to do what lebron, paul, harden, westbrook can do. He cant create for others.

    Using one of his burner accounts?

    I think what he was really saying is "It's easy to be a b****, when you are one"

    I would also correct what he was saying to more 'It's easy to be the best player on your team when you don't have anyone else on your team. But it is VERY HARD to be the actual BEST PLAYER when you don't have good teammates around you."

    Which indicates just how good LeBron really is.

    this is the guy some people will say has actually surpassed GOAT James...

    Put KD on last year’s Cavs. Do they make the finals? Hell no

    Lebron begged for the ball at the end of that game vs the Warriors when JR Smith had the boneheaded play. Durant did the exact same and rightfully so. Draymond just wanted to be Draymond and respond.

    Agree. I would say he is the best player on their team, and they wouldn't have won the championship without him.

    When you have that much talent chemistry doesn't matter.

    You didn't see KD's MVP season when WB was injured. The last part of the season was a thing of absolute beauty. However, I don't believe he wants that anymore. IMO, he wants to win as many rings as possible and will leave GS only for teams that are immediate, legit championship contenders.

    GS won their first championship without KD. IMO, they would not have won the last two without him.

    You guys can insult KD's character, and diminish him all you want, but he's the 2nd or 3rd best player in the NBA. That's a fact.

    While I probably agree that KD is a top 3 player, you know thats ridiculous to say thats a fact. I’m sure you are smarter than that.

    It’s always an opinion to make an assertion over subjective things like who is “better”

    You can use facts about KD’s production to support your opinion but the conclusion over who is “better” is always going to be an opinion.

    You are entitled to your opinion about KD and are free to disageee with me but its pretty weird to state with confidence that I didnt watch basketball in 2014.

    I say it as fact because it's very widely accepted. Precious few people would rank KD at #4 or lower. Some clowns here actually think he's better than LeBron. :rolleyes:

    That was a typo on my part. Meant to have a question mark.
