Really?

Everyone in your circle clearly distinguishes between Twitter DMs, IG DMs, Facebook messenger, etc., and text messages?

I find that difficult to believe

And one more time, just now on The Jump, Rachel Nichols opening monologue she says “for months, the many coaches and players I’ve spoken say it is a Consensus that Kevin Durant is the best player in the game”

So yeah, he is recognized.

Next question.

KD hasn't surpassed shite. He just joined an all-time great team.

KD shot 70% when LeBron guarded him in the Finals.

But for context, Durant is putting up numbers despite being with an all stars.

You guys try to put emphasis on naked stats without context.

Durant cooked LeBron when LeBron was guarding him. That’s context.

No question.

Curry is awesome. One of my favorite players of all time.

It also shows how freaking good Durant is that he stands above them so much on the court.

I love Curry. He’s the most influential player in the league today. Playing with Curry has made Durant better & saved Curry from doing everything in the regular season so he can be healthy for the playoffs-the reason they recruited him.

Like literally stands above them? Because surely you don’t mean the 2nd team all-nba Durant stands above the 1st team all-nba Curry in regards to performance?

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

Those Cavs, healthy, were better than the Dubs pre-Durant


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.

quote:

That’s false, it was the “no help” argument, “put him on GS”...do a search & you’ll see.


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:

Again, “Wade & Bosh suck”...also revisionist history.


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?

quote:

Because he’s not succeeding him, he’s succeeding the guy who succeeded LeBron.


There is no guy that’s succeeded Lebron.

Also, you just said it’s not definite that Lebron was the best player of his generation. If that’s true then what is he being succeeded from?

quote:

If Kawhi takes Toronto all the way-he’s getting legitimate MJ comps...as he plays more like him than anyone. Then people will start placing in all time convos, possibly calling him the player of the decade, and the hate rise again.


Just do we’re clear, you’re saying Lebron fans will hate kawhi if the raptors win the title this year? Please say yes.

quote:

For context, I literally said LeBron got the same kind of hate by Kobe fans, for some reason is not included in the quote you pulled.


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?

quote:

I actually don’t care about his ego


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.

quote:

The Dubs couldn’t beat a healthy Cavs team.


And you know that because of one 7 game series that was decided in the final minute?

quote:

He’s literally the reason it went from “slight edge healthy Cavs” to “1-8 in the Finals”


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.

quote:

He shot 70% when LeBron James guarded him


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.

quote:

He hit the Game 3 dagger from 30 ft out with James guarding him.


So Damian lillard is better than Paul George, right?

quote:

He did the same thing next season only James saw it coming and didn’t pick him up in transition and wanted no part.


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.

quote:

No, I’m obsessed with the truth.


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

quote:

Giving Lillard props, that tidbit was used for context how tough the West is.


Except the tidbit was a lie, not the truth you claim to be obsessed with.

quote:

If you detract that the East was easy, then it’s a bonus.


Lillard does not play in the east and has never faced an eastern conference team in the playoffs.

Why do you need to say anything about the east to make lillard look good?

And why do you need to talk about Lebron if you want to point out the east wasn’t as good as the west?

You want an actual truth? In the 2011-2018 time frame you mentioned, Lebron has won 40% of his playoff games against the west. Lillard has won 37%.

quote:

I think LeBron is great, just not as great as his hype


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

quote:

When he loses, more often than he wins are his fans Full of excuses? No question.


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.

So your against first take hottakes, which I’ve never tried to use.

But you’re ok with using Rachel Nichols and the jump as a legitimate source of information.

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 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

Your dismissiveness of Rachel Nichols as a reporter -which what she’s doing there, shows an implicit bias.
