He fell apart because the Rockets system was unsustainable. Relying on a player to isolate and create on damn near every possession he’s on the floor is just not feasible.
This isn't true, at all, and you know it. You need to stop spreading this ficiton, my breh.

And didn’t win the finals that year. I think everybody knows KD purpose at a point was to balance out Lebrons impact cause Steph as the main leader couldnt do it. The regular season, specially for the warriors, is irrelevant after not completing the 73 win season with a ring. KD purpose is the post season. There’s a reason why we talk this Steph vs KD shyt during the regular season. But come Finals time, it’s clear who’s the best player on the floor

Theres no real debate about who’s the best player on the floor when it matters the most, which is why one has 2x FMVP and the other one doesn’t.

And y’all know I fukk with Steph, nobody has ever denied his importance, I mean nobody in the history of basketball has shot better than him.

However, come June, this Steph vs Durant argument will once again cease and quiet when Durant feast for his 3rd FMVP, becoming the first player to do so since prime Shaq.

Let me ask you this, if the Cavs defended Durant (like they did Steph), where they forced the ball out of his hands the moment he stepped foot in the halfcourt, forced his teammates to beat them, and would willing double-team/triple-team Durant just so he couldn't score, do you still think Durant would've win those FMVPs?

it's about the dubs klay & co. rough stretch

i put success & failure more on the team

cupcakd ain't doing it solo & neither was chef

did he go 22-0 or win 73 by himself or with klay & co. playing shytty¿

take it easy

The problem with is, like I've explained to you many a time, Steph opens up the floor and gives the offense its flow, minimizing the chances that "Klay and co" play shytty, because of all the easy scoring opportunities they benefit from. Durant doesn't do that to the same degree; nobody in the league does.

Yes, cause Stephs averages has either increased or stayed the same after Kds arrival

Pre KD

2015 Steph-26/5/6
2016 Steph-22/4/3 (worse performance by a mvp

W/ KD
26/8/9/
27/6/6

So all this “forcing the ball out of his hands,double, triple teams”oh really?

Is that why he went from only 22/4/3 to almost averaging a triple double his first year with Durant and two 30+ games the second? Does everybody benefit from him? Yes. Does he also benefit from playing second fiddle? Yes.

That’s the point of having 2 top 3 players. Very rarely are two top 3s on the same team. Two people with almost the same level of importance’s in different arenas. Durant is just bigger,does more on the floor(look at the numbers) and more unique. the game is always gonna lean towards the bigger player.

I'll ask you again -

Except you didn't.

You used some selective, meaningless box score stats to try to shape a narrative around what you believe. I'm asking you if the Cavs made it their first focus to stop Durant, and forced his teammates to beat them, how would he win FMVP?

They weren't double or triple teaming him and he would win those FMVPs because those types of defenses wouldn't work against him. :mjlol:

Except we've see it work against him, many a time. And that's beside the point, if the Cavs were centering their defense around getting the ball out of his hands, do you think he would've forced the issue, or would he have passed it to his "open" teammates?
