July 4, 201610 yr This is worse than what Lebron did but I like it. I was stunned that he left OKC. I really thought he would come back. I disagree. Lebron left his home to leave and go to Miami.
July 4, 201610 yr I disagree. Lebron left his home to leave and go to Miami. Yeah but Lebron's team was going nowhere with no help in sight. KD left a team good enough to be champs to play with the team that eliminated them. That would be like Taveion Hollingsworth transferring to Scott County for his senior year.
July 4, 201610 yr In the sports culture we live in if you don't win a title your career is a failure. Can't blame Durant. I'm glad I grew up watching sports when your career wasn't defined by winning a championship.
July 4, 201610 yr Is there anyone more irrelevant than SAS? He is simply making a name for himself and obviously has a dislike for KD based on his threats he made to him last year.

It's a TEAM game with so many variables. Now we have FAs chasing rings. I don't fault KD. I get it. However, the NBA is of slightly lesser interest to me until the playoffs. (Note: I do think we'll have a least one Draymond explosion which will be fun.)
July 4, 201610 yr Is there anyone more irrelevant than SAS? He is simply making a name for himself and obviously has a dislike for KD based on his threats he made to him last year. Plenty of people in NBA circles are more irrelevant than SAS. I agree with him on a lot of things but do NOT on this one. It does seem like this may have gotten personal with him and KD. ESPN pays him A LOT of money to give strong opinions which he will always do. I think he is respected throughout most of the league...
July 4, 201610 yr The Warriors aren't even that talent stacked, even with KD. They are stacked, but probably only 40% to the extent of the 2014 USA FIBA team. That USA team was NBA elite, but not even the best of the best in the NBA. The Warriors are good primarily because of their teamwork and coach imo.

We will disagree on all points. He may be "boys" with guys in the league but that doesn't mean he's respected for what he says. Blowhard.

July 4, 201610 yr Not that stacked? As compared to what other NBA teams? The East and West all-star teams, maybe.
July 4, 201610 yr Yeah but Lebron's team was going nowhere with no help in sight. KD left a team good enough to be champs to play with the team that eliminated them. That would be like Taveion Hollingsworth transferring to Scott County for his senior year. Lebrons team had also made the finals two years in a row... KD's hasn't. It's the same move as what LeBron did. How someone views it depends on who they root for.

As a proud LeBron hater, this is probably one of the most haterific posts of 2016. :lol2: :lol2: :lol2: Not that stacked? :lol:

No one ever thought less of Elgin Baylor, Ernie Banks, Ted Williams because they didn't win a title. Jerry West and Oscar Robertson didn't win championships until they were paired with Wilt and Lew Alcindor, respectively.
July 4, 201610 yr Can anyone answer a question I have on this? Why was CP3 to the Lakers denied but not this? Wasn't Paul a free agent when he wanted to go to LA?
