yall forget he was up 3-1 on the Warriors last years WCF...HIm and Russ could have beaten them this year.

And they also could've gotten beat again. He went to the best situation available, which is what any smart person would do. Go to a better team and get a better shot at winning championships while also being able to go from living in a bumblefukk city to a major area. Seems like a no-brainer. fukk I look like going to an inferior situation just to make some strangers happy?

Right but i was replying to a comment made that he had no other option if he wanted to win...He still could have won with OKC.

Explain why lebron went to Miami and didn't take a max deal

This will answer the question that you say you don't understand

he teamed up with wade and bosh we all know that. He took less money as did bosh and wade to make it happen

My point is miami wasn't this dominant team 2 years removed from a chip and 1 year removed from 73 wins.

That team was 3 allstars and 9 scrubs in miami, while golden state was already a top 2 nba team before durant.

Difference is he might have been able to win a title with OKC, he knows he can win with GS.

This whole "Miami wasn't established" argument is the stupidest and laziest reasoning I've seen to hate on Durant.

they were in their thirties and at the end of their prime.
Actually, this one is lazier.


You all put pressure on NBA stars to win a title. Durant goes out and joins the team that he feels gives him the best chance to do that and you now mad that he has an excellent chance to win a title.

we're comparing the situation each player went to. Miami was a middling eastern conference team, while the warriors were a nba powerhouse. I don't see how people don't know the difference.

If lebron joined the celtics in 09 then these 2 situations would be comparable hence the same level of bytchassness by both players.

Miami had 3 top 15 players. Just stop this. It's nonsense.

When Lebron and Bosh signed, they became a powerhouse. It's lazy thinking.

The Truth
I see it more as the bully beating up the kid, then proceeding to get embarrassed by an even bigger bully before returning to the kid and enlisting his help to take down said bully :russ:
So the Lebrons were beating up the Warriors :gucci:

:mjlol:

they started a corpse at PG, and a 12th man at center. It wasn't until riley put more pieces around them they won a title.

mike bibby was the worse starting PG in basketball and joel anthony was the worse starting center.
