“If I put Paul Pierce on the Golden State Warriors with Klay Thompson and Draymond and Steph Curry, you don't think he could do the same sh*t?”

Here's 3 mins of Kevin Durant and LeBron James going at in the NBA Finals 👊🏽 High level bump. We haven't seen two other megastar talents of this caliber dual on that stage this many times. Guarding each other too.
If Bron is the goat for beating the warriors in 16 with a suspension and injuries, what is kd who took them to 7 with a worse team and no suspensions or injuries favoring him
Kevin Durant won 60 games in the west this same season averaging 28-8-5 on 50-40-90 without a superteam. It shouldn’t had been nowhere close to an unanimous mvp for Bron.
2011-12 NBA Scoring Leaders (PPG):
28.0 — Kevin Durant
27.9 — Kobe Bryant
27.1 — LeBron James
26.0 — Kevin Love
23.6 — Russell Westbrook
22.6 — Carmelo Anthony
22.1 — Dwyane Wade
21.7 — LaMarcus Aldridge
21.6 — Dirk Nowitzki
21.0 — Deron Williams
Any takeaways?
That’s why I never hold importance to any of that jersey sales or most views on social media bullshit, nobody is rated more than KD by his peers and had the most influence
Victor Wembanyama says he will work on a subtle skill that Kevin Durant uses to get himself open.

“Growing up I was Heat fan loved Wade/Bron, LeBron left, I grew up matured a little, started playing basketball & seen I had a future, ever since then my Favorite player has been Kevin Durant gravitated towards whatever team he played for”

"I didn't really mold my game after him, but it's crazy. It's a full circle moment cause Kevin Durant is who I consider the greatest basketball player ever and now I'm on his team. It's kind of crazy. Life's crazy."

Kd has been the best player in the league since 2014 and shared
#1
with lebron in 2012, if kd was on the heat instead of bron they win 3 out of 4 🏆
Okc KD was as good as Bron, he would fill up the stat sheet just the same in a tougher conference and without playing heliocentric ball, but mvp voters would favor that.
KD before Steph was a top 2 player for years, won an MVP, like 4 scoring titles, and his teams were always having deep runs.
Tired of these bots who started watching the sport in 2016
@clubkakerou_
He didn’t do that, he even risked his career playing injured in a finals and accepted the sign and trade that helped them get Wiggins, he took paycuts also while on the team.
"We're leading the entire way. We're like, 'We get 3-1, we might go back to Golden State and win this.' Charlotte, North Carolina boys. That man was different."

Dray has made steph curry be part of multiple elite defensive teams covering for his horrible defense, that alone makes him a hall of famer
