Did LeBron go to a historic 73 win team that JUST BEAT him AFTER he was up 3-1. He went to a sorry Miami team with an over the hillDewayne Wade and Chris Bosh. Hardly the same thing
I didn't even mention Lebron, are you ok?

I like how you’re arguing in a condescending fashion towards me. It isn’t my opinion for the record, but it is the opinion of many basketball fans around the country. I’m just telling you that him winning these easy titles isn’t going to make the criticisms go away, it’s going to do the opposite

Over the hill DWade??? He was easily the second best player in the eastern conference in 2010, and some would have said the second best player in the league. That’s the irony of this whole thing. Lebron tried to do exactly what KD has done but wasn’t as successful. Lebron set the precedent, KD just picked the better situation.

LeBron wasn't getting in his way, dipshit.

Wade was still the best player on that team at first

Ah, so KD shouldn't have chosen the route that gave him the best chance to win titles and Finals MVPs?
I think we will agree again. Have been a fan of Dirk’s throughout most of his 20 seasons and he’s only won one title. Durant won two titles and two Finals MVP’s in his first two years with GS. If the stars decide to quit weathering futile seasons while surrounded by inefficient teammates and move on, their reasoning is perfectly understandable. I believe the NBA will have to make big changes to allow the smaller market teams the chance to compete or else just do away with them. New Orleans better keep rising, or else Davis will be gone too.

Wade was close that first year? But LeBron was still better.

Wade did lead him in steals and blocks, but that's about it.
The idea that Wade was better is, well, pretty bad.

Wade wasn't better but he wasn't over the hill either like that poster said.

Wade was nowhere near over the hill, and he was also nowhere near as good as Lebron.

You made a post that seemed to question why people would still criticize his decision. I told you why. It may seem illogical to you, but the criticisms exist and they aren’t going away regardless of what more he does on this warriors team. You may or not be right about history forgetting about the context. That remains to be seen. In my opinion it will probably be harder to forget 35 years from now than it would be now to forget about something 35 years ago, due to how much media coverage we have now

quote:You're right on the 35 years from now is different than 35 years ago but, if say, KD stayed in OKC and never sniffed another Finals, there is no way to argue he would be viewed as kindly 35 years from now than he will be by going to GS IMO.

Meant to say past his prime. He was still good but he was slowed by a bunch by injuries. He was not the D wade of years past. LeBron carried the heat to that second title.
