Once the Spurs core was broken up, Bron was supposed to go on an insane title run......

I think it's more of a "then Steph AND KD happened". People forget it took the Warriors 6 games to beat a decimated Cavs team, and they lost the following year in 2016 when Kyrie and Kevin Love were healthy. Without KD, the Steph run doesn't happen

The better hypothetical would be if KD stayed in OKC and you had 3 MVP caliber players on one roster (KD, Russ, Harden), have a Dynasty, and that would halt Lebron's title runs
It starts and ends with Steph. A KD led team was never stopping Bron

Not to mention the 2022 finals which steph won that got him tied with LeBron in ring count

If the Warriors won 73 games and still couldn't beat Lebron with a healthy Cavs team, what makes you think they would have beaten Lebron after 2016?

There’s never been a single playoff series or elimination game where Steph has ever outplayed LeBron… EVER

Not in 2015
Not in 2016
Not in 2017
Not in 2018
Not in 2022 play in, where he hit the game winner in Steph’s eye
Not in 2023

Steph has never outplayed LeBron. Ever. He’s just had the better team in a handful of matchups

Lol @ Steph happened. Dude with one finals MVP and is a target on defense.

KD joining a 73 win squad happened.

Love and Kyrie getting hurt in the 2015 finals leaving Matthew Delevadova as his next best teammate happened.

Bron should have won the 2015 finals MVP even in a loss
I actually fuks with Steph and he is him but that Warrior core (Steph, Dray and Klay) with the right other role players is what stopped a lot of runs and put stains on a lot of legacies...not just Bron. And KD joining them made them totally unstoppable (unless multiple injuries occur).

Steph is him but it just wasn't Steph.

Now him and Jimmy makes a crazy duo...if other players on that Dubs squad step up...watch out now.

It’s hilarious how people act like the warriors with kd was unstoppable, when Houston had us on the ropes. It’s just because we put the beats on LeBron that this narrative continues :mjlol:
nikkas act like LeBron didn’t try to create another super team with kyrie and Kevin love, who was a top 3 pf putting up crazy numbers and having games we hadn’t seen since wilt. People want to talk bad about Kevin love, the same way they do bosh, like love wasn’t traded for MULTIPLE number one picks. LeBron wasn’t confident he could win with Wiggins, a guy curry won a title with mind you.

What the hell did Kyrie and K Love ever achieve prior to their meetup?

They were on lottery teams, every year not doing anything

Hell Kyrie was a playoff disappointment POST LeBron until finally last year, and even then he disappointed in the Finals

Yall narratives don’t even make sense

Kyrie was a number one pick and all star
Kevin love was a top 3 pf minimum and putting up numbers we hadn’t seen since wilt
Kevin love was traded for multiple number one picks, which included a guy curry won a championship with.
These are facts, debate those.
Debate the fact Houston had us all but eliminated until Chris Paul got hurt, but we were unstoppable because we put our foot up that Cavs super team ass huh?

U make points...but Kevin Love wasn't that good against Warriors. I know he had thst stop against Curry but he wasn't good against Dubs. Also, Wiggins with Wolves didn't reach his potential and he reached his apex with Dubs. Speaks more about the Dubs system and selfless ball and ball movement more than anything.

And what did either of them do for their team pre LeBron? Cavs literally had the #1 overall pick multiple times with Kyrie.

The Timberwolves were one of the worst teams in the NBA with K Love

Hell the Celtics were better WITHOUT Kyrie even post LeBron

Bron doesn't win his ring in Cleveland without Kyrie and Love.

What did the Timberwolves win with “the best PF” in the NBA?

Must have had a lot of championship level performances in the playoffs right?
