of course as a competitor going against another competitor there is mutual respect these media ppl create narratives for ppl to talk about it just messes with ppl's heads. i don't trust them the only time i trust the media is when they announce a player signing with a team everything else is garbage.

John Pestano lol they're making a big deal out of it because a Cleveland Browns player said that KD basically piggybacked to get those titles so somehow Whitlock think it's Lebron saying it...

Alonzo Watches Vids knp

[@NK-iw6rq]

The two moves are so different I don't know how people can compare the two. LeBron didnt join the Celtics which was the hottest team in the East at that time. He formed a team to beat them. LeBron didn't join a team coming off two consecutive finals appearances. LeBron didn't a join a team that had three all stars . He didn't join a team coming off of a 73-9 record season. He didn't join a team that currently has the back to back MvP. Should I go on ?

[@hnic9181]

I bet if D Wade was a Celtic instead of a Heat he would've joined him regardless.

[@guillermomclean8657]

Nahin Khan no there not... just different tactic but they where looking for the same results

[@gagandhaliwal9391]

Regardless of the moves, lechoke and kd went out chasing rings. Lebron formed the first player-centred super team with 2 all stars and then added one of the best shooters in Ray Allen. KD just out did LeHand and joined a well drafted team.

[@yurpvideo]

So instead of joining a winning team he created one wit his boys ..your point is just that he made a super team but in a roundabout way? I guess it be cooler if KD called up steph klay An dray to join OKC that would be impressive to you 👀😂😂

[@Nomorehats]

Whitlock wrote an article boxden.com/showthread.php?t=2624124

[@blackbond2406]

Kyrie averaged 28 ppg in finals.. he hit game winner in game 7 and dropped 41 in game 5 to extend it.. stop this lebron did it alone bs

[@MIYIAUQ]

Black Bond nobody said LeBron did it alone????

[@LilJMoore]

MIYIAUQ Listen to 6:35 Greg literally says that

[@atlien1988]

MIYIAUQ Greg Jennings literally said that LeBron won in 2016 more by himself.

[@voongnz]

Yup. 3x #1 draft picks in that cavs team.

[@Randomnoobi]

Exactly, thats always the narrative. Lebron did it all by himself.

[@RobertSmith-ow5kf]

The biggest difference that people don't talk about is when Lebron went to Miami their starting pg was Carlos arroyo and their starting center is Joel Anthony. Miami also had a very weak bench. Golden state on the other hand is coming off the winning most season in NBA history. They have an additional all star, and their 5th starter is a finals MVP. They also have a super deep bench.

[@davidjames5448]

Yeah okay lol

[@chrissullivan6572]

Why do we vilify people for having teammates now?

[@rdrulingmentality7776]

This dude Whitlock omg dude are u serious

[@raymo4377]

Whitlock: "Durant wants everyone to be happy." Chris: "I think LeBron is like that." Jim: "Russell ain't..." *Say what you want about Russ but he is a true competitor. He's something that has gone out of style in today's league*

[@gerardgag]

RayMo he Is an inneficient stat padder

[@raymo4377]

[@brianjohnson2424]

RayMo. Russ cares about his stats period.

[@raymo4377]

Brian Johnson like I said, say what you want

[@TheTinyTimmyTimTim]

"say what you want, but im going to say something stupid and when people correct me, i'm going to reply with 'say what you want' because it's a get out of being an idiot free card apparently". No, he is not a true competitor. He has a team structured around getting him his box score stats to sell tickets, has never even attempted to fit anyone into his team to actually win games, and cares only about russ. Thats the opposite of what a competitor is.

[@DBD99]

To compare LBJ and KD is like apples to oranges. If LBJ went to Boston after his lost to them then it be the same. LBJ *formed* a super team to beat a super team ( Boston). KD lost then *joined* that super team. Had KD went to Boston, or the clippers no one would have hate for KD.

[@moonman0506]

Darius Mathis preach!!!

[@gerardgag]

Stop it Warriors were not a superteam before KD Green Is maybe an all star and just because of the system

[@oladebanjoko2934]

At the end of the day lebron went to Miami to stack the deck against the league only winning two titles. I see nothing wrong with what KD did. Wade was a top 5 player bosh top 10/15 it really doesn’t matter about differences even if u bring the Miami previous record year because bosh hasn’t even joined the team yet.

[@DBD99]

Olade banjoko during that time Boston was the super team. They had 3 HOF and rando looked like he was on his way there was no way wade or Bron could take them down solo so they teamed up to beat the enemy. KD joined the warriors he didn’t want to compete with them no one would’ve had hate for KD had he gone to any other team but the fact he joined the team he lost to that already had 3 all stars is what makes everyone question him

[@DBD99]

gerardgag so having 3 all stars, winning a championship and winning 73 games *most all time* doesn’t make you a super team yea okay...

[@malishaguerrier]

People forgetting that KD spend 9 years in OKC. He tried to make it work there but with management and a couple of players it didn’t. Also it’s not like GSW was the only team he was looking at there were others but GSW showed him what they do best and have fun with it.

[@storminmormn6283]

Malisha Guerrier injuries for OKC made their runs end short. They made the finals but were very young and didn’t stand a chance against the current GOAT. He choked in 2016 up 3-1 and then joined the team he lost to. No competitive spirit to even eat revenge on the team that beat him. He could have joined any team in the NBA that was recruiting him except the Warriors and it would have been fine...

[@malishaguerrier]

Storminmormn6 everyone’s faulting him because he wanted to chose the best situation for him. Everyone is saying they wouldn’t do that but when then opportunity presents it’s self I’m sure people would go to GS

[@chrissullivan6572]

Storminmormn6 Russ and Durant both panicked and lost that series

[@chrissullivan6572]

Storminmormn6 OKC was also favored in the 2012 Finals

[@nate8604]

My thing is, if Lebron got criticized for it, we can’t turn around and just give Durant a pass. Lebron was well liked before then, he’s been hated ever since. KD got a few haters, but it’s not that bad.

[@TheSilDante]

Whitlock might be the single worst guy in sports media.

[@calvinadams999]

K.D haters.

[@Randomnoobi]

Revisionist history. Lebron went back to Cleveland with another big three: Kevin Love, Kyrie and himself. At the time, everyone understood it was a new stacked trio for Lebron to win with. Problem is, the Warriors came out of nowhere.

[@TriforcePlayer2]

I need Jim to get his own show

[@replicantona]

WTH is Whitlock talking about, like he is some old school goon from the projects when we know he is only rough opening the donut box?? Suburban kids that were getting beat went to pick up the best players? They already had won a championship, had 73 wins and didn't went to back2back because of a last minute shot in Game 7 after getting their rim protector and best defender injured and Draymond retroactively suspended in Game 5 because of Lebron snitching when they were up 3-1. Their core was all drafted with low picks and they got a free agent in Durant that every organization in the NBA was trying to get and they had to give up most of their bench. Lebron is the mercenary that assembles teams with the best players from the other teams in his weak conference to maximize his chances to win ships and still loses almost every time and bails when things get though, never won without 2 All-Stars by his side.

[@stevenscummy1458]

Or, Warriors would have never won in 2015 or 2016 if Love and Kyrie were healthy Draymond was there for game 6 and 7, cry more

[@replicantona]

Steven Scummy Kevin Love is an absolute ghost in every Finals he has ever played in, as a matter of fact the only game they won when they were getting mauled by 20+ points down 3-1 in 2016 (both teams healthy), was the game he didn't play, so that makes your point invalid. You'rw an unathletic punk, ever heard of momentum? Draymond was playing great and if he is there to finish the series up 3-1, it's over in 5. Both teams healthy, in the regular season and Finals the Warriors proved they were better, pre and post Durant. GS were being compared to the Bulls back then, NOBODY thinks of the Cavs as an all time team, nobody.

[@Bryan_Pureblood]

Oh please he's built just to play basketball. That's all he wanted to do. And everybody's getting upset because he went with a team that let him do what he wants to..

Bruce Rivers yeah sure does. That's why he stays in the weak east. Formed a super team then when he saw the ship sinking ran back to the cavs cause they had a great draft pick and will probably make another super team in the EAST. All while padding his stats along the way. The media will give him any record they can. I honestly wouldn't be surprised to see LeBron is the first player to score this many points on Tuesday after a two week drought on an odd numbered year. He's a beast of a player and a freak of nature but he isn't close to being the goat.

@@bobbylane7103 are you an idiot or just an over-sensitive troll?

Now everyone knows that LeBron plays his best basketball when the opposing team doesn't have a quality rim protector. Consequently they were 1 - 1 versus each other in the finals before acquiring Durant . Therefore my only point was I would have loved to have seen a fair rubber match with both teams healthy and no suspensions in 2017 with no Kevin Durant involved. Everything in my comment was completely accurate and nothing derogatory toward you so not sure why you saw the need for hostility.

The west has won 4 of the last 5 chips Lebron has been beating up on weak teams but the Cavs obviously are no match for a 73 win team + KD...

We can bring up "Heat won 40+ games while warriors won 73" or "KD went to the team that beat him", point is, they both went to a team that was going to win rings. Both succeeded.

You can't say that though. Warriors without Durant now is not a superteam. That superteam that went 73-9 is long gone. Lots of role players lost in acquiring Durant. Plus that "superteam" choked a 3-1 lead against lebron. Obviously that wasn't a superteam

terry lewis lol you right. That was bs but I'm just trying to trump the superteam bs. Truth is this team is not a superteam without Durant. That's not a 73-9 team anymore. Idk why ppl keep saying gs was already good. They wouldn't even be in the finals this year without him

[@OGGOAT23]

Nah warriors were a great team, now they a superteam

[@strawberryyogurt0]

@Matt L .... Yep, the 73-9 lost 8 of their players just to get Durant. It's not the same team. Not sure why people keep overlooking that part. Durant joining the GSW also meant dismantling the 73-9 team. Do what you guys will with the following information. The 73-9 lost 8 players when Kevin Durant joined. They had a different roster. Barbosa, Harrison Barnes, Andrew Bogut, Festus Ezeli, Mareese Speights all played significant and important minutes. Even Brandon Rush and Varejao played during moments. All of them left when Durant joined. First season with Durant = 67-15; Second season with Durant 58-24. Record (73-9) PLAYERS RETAINED Curry Thompson Green Andre Livingston Looney Clark Macadoo PLAYERS THAT EVENTUALLY LEFT WHEN DURANT JOINED Leandro Barbosa Harrison Barnes Andrew Bogut Festus Ezeli Marese Speights Brandon Rush Jason Thompson Anderson Varejao Record (67-15) PLAYERS RETAINED Curry Thompson Green Andre Livingston Looney Clark Macadoo NEW PLAYERS ACQUIRED WHEN DURANT JOINED Kevin Durant David West Matt Barnes Damian Jones Patrick McCaw McGee Zaza Anderson Varejao (14 games) Briante Weber

[@jeviosoorishas181]

Nobody cares what Whitlock has to say. Anyone who knows the story about how the Warriors got KD, know they started going after KD almost immediately after they won their first ring. All the 4 major guys on the team knew that Harrison Barnes wanted to be a superstar and was going to leave at the end of the season, and the players on the squad knew that if they wanted to continue to have a death lineup they'd need the perfect replacement, so the players all started trying to convince KD to come over to the Warriors. The idea that the Warriors went after KD because they lost to LeBron is largely a myth. They probably went harder after him after the loss, but they went after him even when they won, because they knew he would take their system to the next level. This is why all these people who hate KD are really projecting what they know to be true about LeBron, that he cares more about stacking talent around him and padding stats than playing great winning basketball like you see with the Warrior, Celtics, Spurs etc

[@dtennn1375]

CARLOS GUTIERREZ IM ONE OF THE FIRST AND ITS GOING TO HAPPEN 💯💯✔✔✔💯 SORRY TO TELL EVERYONE BUT KD WILL NOT I REPEAT WILL NOT STAY IN GSW FOR THE REST OF HIS CAREER HE WILL LEAVE 💯

[@ricoeab2]

Mark Jackson draft them players S.Curry, Klay T and D. Green. He put that team together

[@johnfranklin1808]

True. He was basically the architect of that team. Wish he could've won a chip with them.

[@johnfranklin1808]

Savon Sanders I stand corrected. Jerry West is a master talent evaluator.

[@patrickyarnold5815]

Haha! **Band wagon alert** Mark Jackson wasn't even the coach when Curry was drafted. Curry played 2 years under Don Nelson before Jackson was the coach. Klay Thompson was a Jerry West pick and Jackson was still starting David Lee over Draymond Green. Coach Jackson does get credit for installing a defense first mindset with the Warriors young players and giving Curry confidence with the greenest light possible (Don Nelson was notorious for keeping young players on a leash, even benching Curry in favor of Speedy Claxton). The Warriors are a bunch of hard working, over-achieving draft picks highlighted by Curry (7th), Klay (11th), & Draymond (35th).

[@ricoeab2]

Rico Wright that's the 1st time I ever heard that, u couldn't trade curry cause he was hurt most of the time 1st 3 to 4 years in the league. I know they started to trade klay for Love at one time

[@donmeatley4740]

U better respect the man that broke ur will in the finals....

[@adegboyegaolatunji26]

I am loving it

[@mogtrader8]

Both guys are babies. MJ and many HOF never approved of such moves.

[@spinn3302]

mogtrader8 it's a different time I'm sure if it was OK for players to leave and form teams back then they would've correction some would have

[@JuiceTelevision]

Whats your basketball resume to even call babies?

[@everydaywelit1144]

mogtrader8 Because they couldn't move around like that back than. Did u not know kobe was finna join mj in chicago if shaq wasn't traded? So lets not act like they was so perfect in the 90's.

[@513ovaeverything7]

Everyday we Lit Jordan was retired way b4 den.... but was trying to get traded to the bulls but it had nothing to do with Shaq... it was because the current lakers squad wasn’t able to compete

[@jeffzalonka]

mogtrader8 Stop bringing up the past and “moves” The guys back in the day didn’t move because there was no such thing as free agency. If free agency and money were the same back then compared to today I guarantee you the past players would have moved around.

[@kwabsbaptiste102]

Let’s be real nobody but warriors fans respect Durant we respect his game but he literally has no legacy

[@kwabsbaptiste102]

Chris Renshaw what about Durants path to a title should be respected lol

[@carlosgutierrez2789]

Ocean of the ocean of the ocean Prempeh the fact that without him they may have lost. He didn't just ride the gravy train he was the main reason they won

[@luddman77]

Nvm I guess Myles Garret started it lmao

This topic is definitely a reach.

[@willskywalk]

Stacked?! The HEAT had a bunch of spare parts on their bench because they couldn't afford anyone else.

[@24uber]

keith thomas Idk, a bench to give them a break here and there. You know like GSW are doing now.

[@rich3637]

uber24 Golden states bench is trash. They just look good because of the system. You think Nick Young and Javale McGee would get burn on another team?

[@AkashPatel-mx6cq]

They had a decent bench and at the time they had the best roster in the LEAGUE. People love trying to change the narrative now to make it sound like LeBron’s Heat team wasn’t that good. FOH he had the best roster in the NBA at the time.

[@killer8999]

Shane Battier, Rashard Lewis, Birdman, RAY ALLEN What a trash bench smh

[@radhamescarela867]

I mean... Ray Allen, shane battier, Udonis Haslem, etc. Were really good role players

[@TechnoloG84]

Going to Apple to learn? I’m lost.

[@sturkeliousrron4934]

It is hard to find a playground court today, and that is by design. The money in the NBA has dictated this trend.

[@weewee203ohSpecz]

the miami team was stacked? i think they were the underdogs 3 out of 4 years during that era. Only time they were supposed 2 win was against the mavs and Bron choked so that’s that. he’s still the 🐐 doe. LeBron won the other 2 out of 3 being the lesser of teams. If u actually look at the talent. OKC had much more talent. LeBron just outplayed them with help obviously but yea he did it. SAS was better also tbh.

[@KIDKorRupt24]

you honestly believe that prime lebron,dwayne wade, Chris bosh were underdogs to an old Tim Duncan, manu ginobli, tony Parker, and a young kawhi leanord. and you think they were the underdog against the thunder? who weren't even in their primes yet. who they beat 4 games to 1. the Miami heat were favorites every year. the fact that they only won 2 is criminal. every major commentator was saying that the heat were favorites. everyone I knew thought they would win every year. I can't believe history is being rewritten. when it hasn't even been a decade yet.

[@KIDKorRupt24]

yo. I just can't believe this. you think lebron outplayed the thunder. dwayne wade averaged like 23 points a game in that series. did you watch the series. they outclassed the thunder. as a team. I can't believe people are actually trying to make it seem like lebron carried wade and bosh. its so disengenious.

[@michaelkelly4314]

KIDKorRupt24 Wade wasn't in his prime, and they were only favored twice, that Heat team wasn't stacked like you think. They had a prime Lebron that was the difference. Wade was hurt the last 3 out of 4 yrs they were together

[@KIDKorRupt24]

+Michael Kelly how did he average 23 points a game in the finals against the thunder if he was hurt. how did he average 20 points a game against the spurs the first time if he was hurt. his worst series was the last finals against the spurs. C'mon bruh. lebron is the difference? you sound like you work for the guy. and if Vegas said lebron wasnt favored. then they are crazy. the heat had 3 of the top 15 players in the league on one team for 3 out of those 4 years.

[@345_Boyd]

Michael Kelly THANK YOU!!!

[@juliomaldonado56]

Whitlock is a fake Charles Barkley that has never played basketball...can you guys find a way to gain ratings without talking about Lebron? Pathetic...

[@Kickzsince86]

I agree with Chris

[@uncutangling]

It doesn't need to hurt KD's legacy for him to join with LeBron....like what if KD was the MVP on their championship team?

[@neckboneschannel]

2016 LeBron 3 rings, Steph 1 ring. 2018 LeBron 3 rings, Steph 3 rings. LeBron blew a 3-1 lead.

[@heraldojacques8386]

[@larriors9124]

neckboneschannel cuz steph cried to kd

[@timocruz510]

I can't beleive it but Broussard straight trippin. That Miami team was not THAT Stacked. They only won 60 games ONCE. The warriors were stacked BEFORE KD got there. Were the heat were the best team in the league? Yes. thats why they won 2 chips. did they ever go 16-1 in the playoffs? No. Did they ever sweep a finals? No. The warriors were the front runners to win the chip right after they lost in 2016... When the Heat got Bosh before the decision, The Celtics, Lakers, and Magic were all still better...

[@Cartwright21215]

Miami was stacked

[@mattL---]

Y'all also forget that the warriors "superteam, "lost a lot of good role players to pick up Durant. Without Durant. This team is no longer a superteam smh

[@timocruz510]

Matt L yeah man The Heat didn't lose any role players either when they picked up those 2... They kept their 2 best players off the bench thats doing pretty well when you bring in the 2nd best player in the league. They lost Barbosa, Bogu and Speights. Boo hoo

[@timocruz510]

Matt L also they won 15 straight W/O durant last year... W/o Durant and everyone healthy they're still the best team in the league lol but it's close...

[@MikeJones-zd6xi]

Timo Cruz did GSW go 16-1 before KD?No. Did they sweep the finals before KD?No. Didn’t they lose in the finals before KD? Yes. Did KD go there and become their best player? Yes. Did he step up n hits shots when the games on the line? Yes. Did LBJ do that with the Heat? No

[@umodagod5551]

Miami’s first year was NOT STACKED, they had Mike Bibby at PG and Eric Dampier at C

[@RichardRodriguez-fn6bu]

Quitting in the NBA finals game 4 is a week a move ever

[@youngmcgheer4882]

KD is not leaving the warriors. Don’t get mad at the warriors for playing great team basketball.

[@brandonwashington8409]

GS will be broke up in another season. Professionals want to be paid what they think they deserve and once you accomplish your career goals, i.e. Championships, you want your monetary value. Klay and Draymond will be gone because they deserve their monies. KD and Steph will have to leave. I tell ppl to enjoy it while it last because it will be gone soon. Just business in a Capitalistic Nation.

[@knowledgeispower906]

I’ve been hearing a lot of people talking about LeBron and Kevin Durant playing in LA nothing will surprise me‼️

[@dylanspurlock6150]

Broussard went in on Whitlock 😂😂 defend us suburban kids man! 😂😂😂

[@inaflash7309]

Without lebron would Miami have reached the finals? Without lebron’s performance would Miami have won 2-4 championships. Remember Kevin Durant joined a team that won 73 games in the regular season. Kevin Durant joined a team that would’ve made the finals without him. In 2009-2010 regular season Miami was 5 in the east, addition barely clinching 50 wins. Lebron created a super team projected to win multiple championships, while Kevin Durant joined an already great all time nba team an exceptional mark in nba history . Two major differences.

[@jgarner3861]

Its funny how players are criticized for the moves they make but if the GM's were working these moves like it use to be they would get praised....

[@ReeseTheresa]

I am so confused right now and I don’t know what to do😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@Chubby3458]

KD just shoulder some of, if not most of the load for the warriors in the playoffs and the finals. Yes he had help, but when no one has hitting their shots, he came through. Sure he had a couple games where he had an off game, but for the most part, he came through for the warriors when they needed him.

[@spidermace]

Whitlock’s “suburban” comments are hilarious and truthful.

[@DJSkandalous]

Lebron going to the Spurs doesnt look the same as KD to the warriors. Lets ignore the record. Warriors were already the best team in the league despite losing the finals. Spurs are far from the best and have a bunch of internal issues. Lebron going there and beating the warriors warriors would only help Lebron's legacy

[@MrGodismypower]

DJ Skandalous warriors weren't the best team in 2016 because they lost the NBA finals. 2nd best team for sure.

[@spoiledmilkpodcast3349]

DJ Skandalous warriors had set a record for 73 wins and lost that year. One could argue that without Durant in 2017, that healthy cavaliers team could have beaten gsw.we make excuses for one man and he travels to different teams in order to win whereas Durant has only done it 1 time is being crucified. Lebron has a chance to join the rockets who won 65 games and yet no one sees a problem with him being nomadic

[@THEMANCURTIS]

We don't respect bron for quitting in OT or game 4 or getting sweeped twice in the finals
