I genuinely don't understand what you're doing here. We saw Durant as "Batman" last season. He wasn't up to it. Now you're crediting him for winning a championship on a team that would have been the favorite to win without him? Ok.
Congrats to Durant on being able to make wide open jumpers up by 20. He's totally Michael Jordan.

I'm not crediting him with shit. I'm talking about how history's going to remember him. And if they win 3 and he gets multiple Finals MVP's, this is how he'll be remembered.
Narratives change over time as Lebron has demonstrated. This KD narrative only sticks if he doesn't win or Steph emerges as the Alpha.
Jordan didn't win his first title until he was 28. People forget that.
If Durant goes off and is a finals mvp 3x he will make his name regardless.
Jordan won most of his titles on super teams too. If you knock Durant for losing to the 73 win warriors, you have to knock Jordon for losing to the bad boy pistons.

His failures with the Thunder are damning and the main difference here. He had plenty of help in OKC to prove himself. He should have gone to D.C., but he's scared shitless of Lebrom unless he has GS roster behind him. He's a pussy faggit.

7 people eliminated, now Sven with a chance to win it. Feels right.
I don't hate Bron bron - he's just not the GOAT. And never will be. Jordan never relied on Pippen to drop 40 to stave off a sweep.
You're right he didn't need Pippen. Jordan just got swept on his own.
Twice.
And he didn't need a 40 point game from Pippen. He needed a 30 point game from Sam Vincent.
Fuuuuuuck.
Getting swept by Bird, McHale and Parrish means jack shit. The 85-86 Celtics squad is EASILY Top 5 all-time NBA teams. Don't hate because it was a bunch of white guys.
Bron bron would cry the first time he had to take an elbow across his head from any of those three.
Seriously - that is the weakest argument against Jordan ever. Meme-like quality.

And the only thing that held most of the 90s back was the prison rules play + over expansion + influx of international players 5-10 years away from filling back up the talent pool

Sounds like citrus.
@allpurpleallgold and @Doogles looking good.

Basketball has gotten better. Same for football. The old style was archaic and shows how few coach's actually innovate.
Showtime Lakers and Bird Celtics put up points. Don't confuse your late 90's shit ball with real players who had skills and could run the lanes.
