73 wins is meaningless.

Yea, something that’s never been done in history is meaningless. Remember when I correctly pointed you were a moron? Good times.

Did they win? A regular season record doesn’t matter if they didn’t win the title, & a healthy Cavs team was proven better.

But again, insults, this take of yours is clearly on life support.

quote:
They were literally 1 game away from a 4-1 win, and as it was the series played out as closely as it could have.

So the healthy Cavs were better...& Durant turned the Cavs into 1-8 against the Dubs.

You’re crying because Lebron fans are saying mean things about Durant because they’re threatened by him. What does correctly pointing out that Lebron has less help have to do with curry?

quote:
You’re crying because Lebron fans are saying mean things about Durant because they’re threatened by him. What does correctly pointing out that wade and bosh played poorly have to do with kawhi?

You asked questions about LeBron fans hating on previous players, I answered, & accurately. Your interpretation is skewed, as “tilt” has kicked in, and you’re attempting to deflect.

[quote]There is no guy that’s succeeded Lebron. [/quote]
quote:
Durant passed him up on the court this year, for the first time.

But there is, it’s Kevin Durant. As The Jump’s opening monologue stated around the league(players & coaches), Durant is considered the best player in the league...and within this post, you contradict yourself

quote:
I didn’t respond because no response Dr was necessary. it’s true. What does Kobe fans hating Lebron have to do with the fact that Durant gets hate from more than just message boards?

This statement leads me to believe that you are unsure what you’re arguing. As previously stated, when a favorite player with legions of fans-in this example, Kobe, was surpassed by LeBron, his fans spent seasons living in denial. Using the historical example, sets the precedent for what you, & other are doing now.

quote:
And yet everytime he does something stupid because of his ego, you’re on here defending him and/or interjecting Lebron into a discussion that had nothing to do with him.

Defender of truth-as in, Durant is the best player in basketball and LeBron fans despise it.

quote:
Really? Kevin Durant is the reason jr Smith is a dumbass? Kevin Durant is the reason Kyrie ended up in Boston? Explain both of those.

Both of these are straying away from the central point, Durant as the best player in basketball tilted the rivalry from Healthy Cavs> Dubs to Dubs 8, Cavs 1.

quote:
I have no idea if this stat is true or not, and given your propensity for just straight up lying when it comes to both players involved, I don’t believe you.

Here is the most interesting and relevant statement. You haven’t done the research and are ill informed, because of that, you fall back to insults. Not shocked, your central point, that Durant isn’t the best player in basketball, is incorrect.

quote:
He hit the Game 3 dagger from 30 ft out with James guarding him. So Damian lillard is better than Paul George, right?

Interesting question, they play different positions, unlike James and Durant. Overall player rankings they are what and what. George is a better defender, Lillard the better scorer/shooter. More interesting is that Westbrook didn’t guard his matchup.

quote:
I believe my previous post referenced you being obsessed with this. quote: Durant passed him up, on the court, when it mattered. Durant passed him up on the court this year, for the first time. You thinking Durant hitting a 30 ft shot means he passed up Lebron on the court is retarded, which falls in line with the rest of your logic. And you placing do much emphasis on that actually detracts from his overall performance.

Again, context, when it matters most between the two, mano y mano, He not only won the matchup, but dominated, & did it in the biggest moment..& James could nothing to stop it. That’s when it happened. He cooked him, definitively so.

quote:
I find that hard to believe given you rarely, if ever, post the truth

Again, calling me liar is only showing that you have little argument.

quote:
You’re right. If anything he’s better. He’s exceeded the expectations he had coming into the league.

He was hailed as the potential greatest ever. He has not met those expectations. He got into the top 10, top 5, but not the top.

quote:
Maybe that has something to do with his detractors holding his lack of championships from his first cavs stint against him, when he was literally only good player in the team. Or holding the 2015 finals against him, when his second best player was Matthew Dellavedova. No other players has had such unreal expectations placed on him.

2015 isn’t held against him. 2016 was the true matchup. As was 2017. 2011-2014.

But, if you think he had More expectations than Kareem, Magic, Wilt, Ewing, or Shaq, you’re incorrect.

But it’s irrelevant to the central point, Durant has been the best player in basketball since 2017...& LeBron fans can’t come to terms with it.

Quote from Thanos yesterday

quote:
Dame Lillard faced more all NBA players in the playoffs this year than LeBron faced in the East from 2011-2018.

Truth

Dame faced 4 all nba players this postseason

Lebron faced 13 all nba players from 2011-2018 in the east

You literally just make shite up

Did they win?

as i already stated, they did something that had never been done previously. and you think that is meaningless.

quote:
A regular season record doesn’t matter if they didn’t win the title,

says you. meanwhile that team is written into the history books.

quote:
But again, insults,

and again, facts are not insults.

quote:
this take of yours is clearly on life support.

says the guy trying to say a team accomplishing something thats never been done before is meaningless.

quote:
So the healthy Cavs were better...

the healthy cavs were their equal.

quote:
& Durant turned the Cavs into 1-8 against the Dubs.

you keep referring to the healthy cavs that beat the 73 win team, but include the kyrie-less 2018 cavs in your argument for durant, as if that is somehow the same team. funny how that works.

quote:
You asked questions about LeBron fans hating on previous players, I answered, & accurately.

except you didnt.

lebron fans saying matthew dellavedova being the #2 option is the reason they lost to the warriors in 2015 isnt a reflection at all on steph curry.

lebron fans saying wade and bosh played poorly in 2014 isnt a reflection at all on kawhi leonard.

yet youre in here saying people talking shite about durant being an emo bitch on twitter are lebron fans jealous of durant. and you somehow think the above 2 things are evidence in support of that.

quote:
Your interpretation is skewed, as “tilt” has kicked in, and you’re attempting to deflect.

attempting to deflect what exactly? im answering and easily refuting every single moronic thing you state. meanwhile youre too afraid to answer direct questions, and throwing together a bunch of words that dont even make sense to support yourself.

quote:
But there is, it’s Kevin Durant.

durant is not clearly the best player in the world. so no, it isnt.

you didnt answer the question about what lebron is being succeeded from if he wasnt the best player.

you also never answered about that player rankings game. but im at a computer now so i'll go ahead and throw some links together.

"The best basketball player on earth plays for the Lakers" - the ringer in october

espn preseason

si preseason

wapo preseason

various nba media people preseason

cbs preseason

ranker preseason fan poll

la times at all star break

bleacher report in january

your turn. go ahead and post your proof that durant was universally thought of as better than lebron before this season started.

quote:
As The Jump’s opening monologue stated Durant is considered the best player in the league

and again, first take = bad, but the jump = good.

when you have to resort to shitty espn hot take shows to support your argument.

quote:
and within this post, you contradict yourself

aww look, the moron has reading comprehension issues.

quote:
This statement leads me to believe that you are unsure what you’re arguing.

youre saying the kobe fans hating lebron is proof that durant only gets hate on message boards. and im the one thats unsure of what im arguing?

quote:
As previously stated, when a favorite player with legions of fans-in this example, Kobe, was surpassed by LeBron, his fans spent seasons living in denial. Using the historical example, sets the precedent for what you, & other are doing now.

and again, what does any of that have to do with the fact that durant gets hated on through mediums beyond just message boards?

quote:
Defender of truth-as in, Durant is the best player in basketball and LeBron fans despise it.

claims to be defender of truth, immediately follows by posting 2 non-truths.

quote:
Both of these are straying away from the central point, Durant as the best player in basketball tilted the rivalry from Healthy Cavs> Dubs to Dubs 8, Cavs 1.

except they arent. jr smith legitimately blew a game because of his own stupidity, and kyrie irving wasnt even playing for the cavs last year. you can keep trying to ignore them, but they arent going anywhere.

i havent done the research and dont want or need to know what durant shot when guarded by lebron. the point remains that you have repeatedly lied on this message board regarding both durant and lebron, so i don't just believe some number youre throwing out as fact. post proof if you want me to believe it.

quote:
because of that, you fall back to insults.

i fall back to facts, always.

durant not being completely recogized as the best player in the world - fact

you being a moron - fact

lebron having a better winning percentage against western conference playoff teams from 2011-2018 than damian lillard does in his entire career - fact

quote:
Not shocked, your central point, that Durant isn’t the best player in basketball, is incorrect.

my centrak point that durant isnt completely recoginzed as the best player in basketball is 100% correct. see the all-nba teams that came out today.

quote:
Interesting question

only to a moron such as yourself.

quote:
Lillard the better scorer/shooter.

george in 2019 - 28 ppg, 43.8% fg, 38.6% 3pt
lillard in 2019 - 25.8 ppg, 44.4% fg, 36.9% 3pt

like i said, moron.

quote:
Again, context, when it matters most between the two, mano y mano, He not only won the matchup, but dominated, & did it in the biggest moment..& James could nothing to stop it. That’s when it happened. He cooked him, definitively so.

since you cant come up with any new response to this and are just saying the same things over and over, i'll just copy and paste my previous responses.

"With plenty question. And less than kawhi did in 14, when Lebron was visibly dejected when kawhi entered a game. You’re just still stuck on him switching off Durant on a ball screen in a late game situation."

"You thinking Durant hitting a 30 ft shot means he passed up Lebron on the court is retarded, which falls in line with the rest of your logic. And you placing do much emphasis on that actually detracts from his overall performance."

quote:
Again, calling me liar is only showing that you have little argument.

calling you a liar is posting a fact. i have plenty of argument, its out there for everyone to see.

tell us again about damian lillard facing more all-nba players this year than lebron did from 2011-2018 in the east.

tell us again about lebron not being completely recognized as the best player for a generation.

tell us again about durant being completely recognized as the best player in the game for 2+ years.

quote:
He was hailed as the potential greatest ever. He has not met those expectations.

and now squarely sits at #2 on the list, with constant debate about if he is #1.

what exactly do you think potential greatest ever means?

quote:
He got into the top 10, top 5, but not the top.

but you dont hate lebron. right.

quote:
2015 isn’t held against him

so people arent constantly talking about lebron's 6 losses in the nba finals when talking about his place in history?

you seriously cant figure out why i keep correctly pointing out that youre a moron?

quote:
But, if you think he had More expectations than Kareem, Magic, Wilt, Ewing, or Shaq, you’re incorrect.

show me the equivalent of this for any of those people you listed:

quote:
But it’s irrelevant to the central point

actually the central point was that you needed to seek help regarding your obsessive hatred for lebron and insistence on bringing him into every thread.
