LeBron didn't join a 73 win team (one of the greatest of all-time) that was on the verge of repeating.
If you believe they were the same you shouldn't post on here expecting to be taken seriously.[/]
James orchestrated setting up a super team cause he didn't like the one he was on. If Durant should have stuck it out in OKC, why was it ok for James to bail on Cleveland? And GS' roster is a fair bit different.
I love the irony in how it's ok for a guy to set up his own team somewhere else, but a guy can't decide to play for a team whose management apparently gets it.
Dear lord, for the 3rd time Lebron James left a team who's second option was Mo ****ing Williams a team that struggled to win 25 games without him, how do you not understand the difference? KD left a team that was a blown 3-1 lead away from beating the best regular season team of all ****ing time.
Without KD and Serge Ibaka the Thunder won close to 50 games, without Lebron his team won ~25.
How the **** do you not grasp this simple fact? It's not ****ing rocket science, Durant was on a significantly better team with a significantly better supporting cast.
That's only half of the problem too, Durant chose to go to a team THAT WON 73 ****ING GAMES without him, a team that he was up 3-1 on, he folded like a cheap tent in the final 3 games and left for the team that beat him literally 2 months later.
Lebron James joined a team that finished 3rd in its division, a team that didn't have home court in the first round and lost in 5 games. Sure, they also added Chris Bosh but as I stated in my previous post which you chose to ignore Bosh and Wade put up pretty average numbers in the two years they won the chip. Wade averaged 18 and 20, which are barley all star level numbers and Bosh averaged 12 and 14. Obviously they're both two key players, but this notion that they were a 'super team' is out of touch with actual reality.
Let's just analyze this so called 'super team' before Lebron got there they lost in 5 games in the first round, when he was there they went to 4 straight NBA finals when he left they missed the ****ing playoffs.
Thats not a super team, that's just a once in a generation player proving his excellence when playing with other good players.
What KD was literally the equivalent to Steph Curry deciding to join the Cavs after they blew a 3-1 lead to them.
Your comparison is terrible and you show a complete and utter misunderstanding of the sport of basketball.
