Wait. Wouldn't Sonic fans actually like Durant? When would they ever be ideologically inclined with Thunder fans? What are you slobbering about? If you can find a comparable precedent for a top 3 player, in his prime, joining a 73 win team that already won a championship with its core, please enlighten us.salemcoog said:

This is like talking to a lamppost. -
This is what it looks like when a team actually plays defense against the pellys

We get it. You have a lot of @haie in your life of the MVP of the ‘17 NBA Finals.BaldwinIV said:

GOAT pushoff of Russell in that thumbnailsalemcoog said:Back to the original. Lemme know whose the GOAT after watching this.

Yes, he's still the GoAT though -

I thought it was a pushoff from the first angle too. If you look at it from the second behind the shot angle there's not much there though. He just broke his ankles.dnc said:

Lot of short memory millennial slobber in this thread.
Lebron ditched Cleveland because he couldn't win same as Durant ditching OKC. I don't really care about either of those moves bc modern NBA free agency is what it is but if you are going to hate on the one move and not the other then you're either just a Lebron poofer or a Durant salad tosser.
Lebron is probably the greatest athlete to ever play basketball. Jordan is the GOAT basketball player until further notice. -
I'd say Green did the punking, but you're a fucking retard, so......haie said:Good PellyDub game. AD is easy to root for when he’s punking Green instead of my bl0sers

What Lebron did helped usher in the era where the GSW moves were normalized enough to happen. HTH.BaldwinIV said:

2007-2008 miami had the worst record in the NBA at 15-67, wade missing the final 21 games
2008-2009 miami finished 43-39, a 7 seed that got blasted in round 1 by the hawks
2009-2010 miami finished 45-37, a 6 seed, lost 1-4 to Boston in the 1st round
We are comparing this to the '16 GSW team that went 73-9 and was a Green ballpunch away from winning a title? The team that blew a 3-1 lead with home court in the finals?
How about the '15 GSW team that won the title.
Is everyone taking stupid pills? -

I need a drink. I can't know that people this stupid exist. -
If you're backpeddling from Lebron to Miami = KD to GSW, to it's LeBron's fault for starting the modern day superteam trend, there was certainly precedent for 'super teams' before that.UW_Doog_Bot said:

Look 2 years earlier with Garnett and Allen going to Boston, for starters. Or Barkley and Pippin to the Rockets in 97. etc etc
I don't buy your argument at all. -
Nah, I'm saying it's the same type of move and if you are making excuses and justifying why one is different than the other it's at best technicalities. Building a superteam vs. joining a superteam isn't much different once the results are in.Gladstone said:

The fact is that he couldn't win where he was so he decided it was better to be with them than against them.
Like, jesus, I don't have a problem calling Lebron one of the greatest but there's a whole host of asterisks on trying to call him THE GOAT. I don't understand how unless you missed decades of basketball before he was playing you can think he's the undisputed BEST. Best athlete, sure, accomplished the most? No fucking way. -
can this page not be about lebron's legacy?

What KD did is unprecedented. But what LBJ did before that was unprecedented. I don’t blame him at all, (I don’t blame KD either), but I do think LBJs move ushered in the super team era and paved the way for KD. KD obviously took it to a further extreme than Bron did. But LeBrob leaving his team to join another MVPs team (and recruiting a third big star to join them) hadn’t been done like that before.Gladstone said:

It’s not at all the same as Allen being dealt to the Celtics. KG, maybe kinda sorta but KG was nowhere near the megastar LeBrob was. Was KG even still in his prime? We’re Barkley and Drexker? Seems like it’s usually past their prime guys who make these moves. LBJ and KD are a different level. -
Fuck me, were people just not around for "The Decision" and how drastically it altered free agency? You guys act like I'm talking crazy but this is a pretty common idea. It took me all of a second of googling "How the decision changed basketball" to bring up 20+ articles.
[Before The Decision, many of the dynasties in the NBA were the result of excellent drafting. With the exception of the Shaq and Kobe Lakers, the other dynasties were largely done without their core players being picked up in free agency. Teams like the Larry Bird Celtics and the Showtime Lakers weren’t formed because the best players decided to play in Boston or Los Angeles during free agency. They were formed through the draft.
That all changed when LeBron decided to join the Heat. Never before had the best player in the middle of his prime decide to leave the franchise he was drafted by to join a team comprised of two other superstars in their prime.
Now this seems common place.]
From a Lebron fan site no less
If you want to disagree with that opinion then fucking cool but to act like it's some insane Pumpy take is FS. -
Yeah I was never a fan of the decision and my stance after '16 has always been that LBJ is #2 but an argument could be made for #1 (that doesn't sound completely insane). I've said my piece and will try not to get triggered and post about LBJ's legacy again as this feels kind of circular at this point. I love you all. Bye.

Bottom line - Lebron is the poster boy for Generation AAU; MJ is a stone cold assassin who would slit your throat and fuck your wife.Gladstone said:Yeah I was never a fan of the decision and my stance after '16 has always been that LBJ is #2 but an argument could be made for #1 (that doesn't sound completely insane).

Kids today
Kareem told Milwaukee to trade him to LA
LA stole the pick that became Magic from Cleveland and stole another one to get Worthy then signed Free Agents for 10 years to fill out the roster
Boston drafted Bird, stole Parrish from Golden State and DJ from Phoenix and McHale was a superior scouting draft pick
NBA teams built through the draft which was bigger and filled with 3 and 4 year players and trades with morons like Ted Stepian
There is nothing inherently evil about Lebron leaving the Cavs who still sucked and joining a 40 win team that had drafted Wade and signed Bosh along with a bunch of others
Durant got punked by the Cavs and Warriors and then joined the 73 win Warrior in what was was accurately described as the bitch move of all time
My point and I do have one is that old Lakers and Celtics led the way in crying about Lebron and they had the benefit of building teams they wanted. Magic got Westhead fired
And then Barkley who left Philly to go play with a stacked Phoenix team then left them to join the champion Rockets in a ring chase shot his mouth off about it
Fuck em all -
Lebron formed a super team. Durant joined a super team. Lebron was the best player on the Heat. Durant is not the best player on the Warriors and I think you can argue pretty reasonably he’s the 3rd most important player on that team.
Durant also committed the greatest crime last year by making the game boring. Say whatever you want about Lebron but holy shit has he made it interesting. If Durant’s career disappeared tomorrow no one would give a shit. Lebron’s career disappearing would cause an NBA black hole. -
I'd say I poasted that when AD was actually punking Green and the score was close, but you wanted to make a 'but you're a fucking retard' side note post, so......salemcoog said:

Bullshit. Durant is a top 5 defender and a top 5 scorer in the league. No He's not as good as LeBron and NO he doesn't have the same cultural impact on the league. But He is the reason why the Playoffs and Finals were a cake walk for the Dubs last year, just as they will be this year.allpurpleallgold said:Lebron formed a super team. Durant joined a super team.
