Kevin Durant Says That Steph Wasn’t Double-Teamed During His Time With the Warriors EDIT: Steph was Doubled MORE than 7x !

[Joe Sixpack]

i aint pressed over this stan shyt

the facts are

1. kd was considered the best player in the nba after the 2017 finals
2. steph was an afterthought in both those years

whether gs beats boston has no bearing on what happened 4-5 years ago. yall dont get to rewrite history just because steph doing better now

These aren’t facts KD was never considered the best player in the league after those Finals it’s already documented that he was pissed that people still thought LeBron was better then him

History doesn’t need to be rewritten. It was always Steph before KD.

No one thought KD was the best. That’s why he left.

[MostReal]

no one in real time thought steph outshone kd during his warriors years

EVERYONE was talking about how kd outdueled bron in 2 straight finals and how kd was now the best player in the world. the only thing was that steph was still always the apple of oakland's eye despite kd putting in the heavy lifting and that didnt sit right with kd. this is why he bounced

heavy lifting is taking double teams to free up your teammates and still get yours and winning a championship. KD has never done that in his entire career.

Explain further how is the FMVP elusive for curry? It’s obviously clear the FMVP voters had an agenda in 2015 and 2018 literally lead by Rachel Nicholas. I’m 2015 despite him avg 26ppg and being the best player on the team that won Curry didn’t receive one single vote for FMVP how can anyone explain that?

In 2018 curry put up damn near a 28ppg triple double that series and yet the FMVP was given to Durant because of one game which was game 3 but this time curry actually received votes(any coincidence) ..

Now that conference finals MVPs are a thing Steph finally got the mvp for the WCF even tho Looney/Wiggins were huge additions.. I guarantee you if that white bytch Rachel Nichols was still on air her segments would still be about Lebron these entire playoffs even tho Bron home watching tv and she would’ve been pushing Luka to win FMVP even tho dude lost the series 4-1 and the wfmvp would’ve went to someone else other than curry.. Funny how that bytch is no longer apart of the media or nba but all of a sudden the mvp voters not caught up in the extra shyt that bytch be leading her segments with

back to back fmvp on bron's head, back to back fmvp taken away from curry. yall mad mad

 

[Mike Wins]

If GS' 6th guy (Steph, Klay, Dray, Iggy, Barnes, Bogut) is matching the impact of the Cavs 2nd or 3rd guy, the narrative your trying to push is actively working against you.

If you don't see the difference in joining a team you just lost to that held a 73-9 win record vs joining a middling miami team that started mario chalmers and joel anthony, there is no saving you.

GS had the deepest bench in the league the 14-15 and 15-16 seasons. Team motto was literally strength in numbers. But fact is they had nobody who could replace Bogut on the defensive end in that series and the impact of him going down was obvious and immediate. Steph was also limited by the knee injury but again, is what it is

They gave up the depth in exchange for KD. The bench in 18 and 19 especially was real thin. But it worked because they were unstoppable if the starting 5 was healthy

When Bron went to Miami he did it to team up with two handpicked All Stars and take the easiest path a ring. That's it. Any other justification you throw out is a distraction. When he went back to Cleveland it was the same thing. He lobbied for the Love trade and got it. He designed a team to beat the Spurs because he knew Miami wasn't winning anything else with that roster

At the core KD did the same thing, he just did it better. Went to play with a handpicked roster that was setup to win multiple championships.

Said this before plenty of times but if KD teamed with Steph and Kawhi on some random franchise they hadn't played on before, Bron stans was still gonna be mad. The excuse would be team was too stacked, Steph and Kawhi are better than Bosh and Wade so those rings got an asterisk

I don't got a problem with Bron playing where he wanna play. I got a problem with his groupies denying he spent the last decade team hopping, handpicking teammates and orchestrating trades trying to stack rings. Then get mad when other players do the same. And don't pretend Bron groupies wouldn't have defended him joining Boston after 2010. They would have. They defend everything he do. "Cleveland ain't getting him enough help, can't blame him for wanting to join a championship organization"

And he at home with Steph back in the finals

 

[Don Homer]

No he’s taken double teams. We just saw him do that in this past Boston series


……and the nikka folded

 

[No1]

They were 30 wins down from Golden State (47 wins to 73), and had to give it every player that made an impact on that team (J Rich, Beas, J'O Neal). They were a first round out in 5, and Bron didn't drop a 3-1 lead before joining them.

It's not the same thing, it's cognitive dissonance to believe otherwise.

I don’t know what you’re not comprehending. First off, stop misusing terms like cognitive dissonance. Second, the Miami team he joined was nothing like the team the year before and that is the point. This argument that they weren’t winning and weren’t as good as the Warriors is stupid because the team he joined wasn’t that team. This is like saying that if Mpabbe, Neymar and Messi went and joined a random premier league club like Norwich and make it to the champions league that it’s somehow different than Cristiano Ronaldo going and rejoining Real Madrid and doing the same thing. Both teams are more talented than anyone else. Overwhelming talent wins in sports. The fact that a team lacked any talent before you got there doesn’t mean anything if they have overwhelming talent once you get there. Wade, LeBron and Bosh were supposed to win the East every year they were together. There was never a time where they were healthy and any sort of underdog. The only times they had close series was when one of them was hurt outside of the Spurs in the finals. And in both cases because of the salary of that talent they had to make cuts elsewhere which required the stars to do more. The only thing that makes it look bad is that KD was up on them 3-1. I wouldn’t have gone to that team but that’s all mental and not substantive.

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

Funny thing is.. as Warriors fans..we don't give a shyt. We had both on our team and were unbeatable when healthy. All the other shyt is for fans of these loser ass teams to fight about.

Well that's not true because the whole thread here is GSW fans mad at Durant so yeah yall care

Good on both of ya for not being emotional. Imma take a nap and respond once I’m up again

Looking forward to the discourse.

Edit: thread title is misleading, Steph aint get doubled 7 times as much, I get KD in this instance. Non story.

Not to defend KD but the thread title is misleading. He is not saying that Steph wasn’t double teamed. He’s saying Steph being doubled teamed 7x more than KD is false. OP fishing for plat thread like Kyle Lowry fishes for personal fouls.

Turns out it was MUCH more than 7x
