If you swapped LeBron and KD the result of the 2017 Finals would be exactly the same. In fact, the KD Cavs would get swept and LeBron would GUARANTEED statistically outdo KD because his style of play works best with spacing and elite shooters. This is why writers give Bron the benefit of the doubt. It’s really not hard to see.
Just boiling it down to “hurr durr KD outperformed LeBron” is fukking retarded. KD is on a team that just won 73 games with 2 of the GOAT shooters (one of which is a 2x MVP) and the dpoy. He is on a team where he does not have to carry the bulk of the defensive load on LeBron because they literally have like 6 defenders they can throw at him while the Cavs only had Bron for KD.
Yeah KD did better but neither of them could guard the other. They both had ungodly numbers and effiecency with the only difference being that KD didn’t have to damn near die to get his because his team is loaded offensively and had multiple bodies to throw defensively at Bron, allowing him time to rest.
Y’all so dishonest with your garbage. KD been an underachiever his whole career, no one gonna put him above LeBron for doing what a superstar is expected to do when joining a SEVENTY THREE AND NINE team.
