At the end of the day, Durant is not the only one who did it. Lebron did it, Ray Allen did it, Garnett did it, Malone did it, Peyton did it, Vince Carter did it, Tmac did it, Shaq did it, and many more before them did it. So stop it! And I don't care for that stupid ass weak reply "but he lost to them" because it's a petty ass retort to change the fact that Durant is trying to win and the Warriors and OKC were not a rivalry and that OKC was a playoff contender, not a championship contender, just like all the other teams. Y'all would still be bitching had Durant went to join the Spurs or the Cavaliers, fucking hypocrites.

LeBron: left a weak Cavs team to join two super stars in Miami, none of whom had played together on an NBA team. They lost their first year together. He didn't join the Celtics who continually beat him, he created his own experimental team. Durant: Joined the team that had won the title 2 years prior and just lost in a game 7. He joined the team that just beat the Bulls regular season record. He joined the very team he lost to in the WCF. He joined an already fully loaded team that would've made the finals regardless.

someone had to do the same thing back to lebron or he wouldve kept winning rings and KD did and the 2017 Finals was Hella close score wise except games 1 and 4 and it came down to who was better- KD or lebron. the finals network (aka lebron network) didnt advertise it At All but if u look at fox and cbs sports’ websites u can see proof, in that series, THATS WHEN LEBRON STILL HAD KYRIE, lebron averaged 4 points in the 4th quarter of games 2 and 3 (he didnt play game 1’s cuz it was a blowout). FOUR points.. remember? when the cavs had the chance to tie up the series.. and lebron was choking again? then kd hit the series dagger 3 on him and they went up 3-0 and thats what happened to lebron. the best player DOES NOT average 4 points in the 4th quarter of the NBA finals.. go check the stats, KD averaged 11, Kyrie averaged 6, Steph Curry averaged 5, and lebron averaged FOUR POINTS. KD outscored lebron by a combined FOURTEEN points in the 4th quarters of games 2 and 3!!

THAT’s the weakest move in bball history! and if lebron didnt choke in the 4th quarters of the 2017 finals then then maybe the cavs would still be the ones in tact instead! stop hating just cuz lebron wasnt good enough!

My condolences, Stephen A. Smith, after losing your biggest inspiration, but you need to let this go already. Kevin Durant has stepped it up and taken his game to another level regardless of all the criticism he's endured. His team is looking to pass him the ball; he is not coasting whatsoever. He's earned his right to stay on the Golden State Warriors.

Sebastian There's no debate that KD has stepped it up. But he could've done the same thing in OKC. Part of what's so annoying about his move is knowing how great Durant is, seeing how well he's played in the Finals, wondering why he didn't give that same effort in OKC. Westbrook, alone, was not the reason.

KD isn't necessarily stepping his game up. There's just less load he's got to carry both offense and defense, thus making him more efficient when he does have the ball because he's conserved his energy while Lebron's gotta play all 48 mins avg a triple double only to lose cuz he's run out of gas the last 5 mins

KD joining the Warriors is not the same as Lebron joining the Heat. Ray Allen was 35 years old when he went to the heat and the Celtics were already talking about trading him because of his decline. Chris Bosh was nowhere near as good as Klay Thompson, or Steph Curry, or Kevin Durant. Defensively Draymond is way better than Bosh. And D Wade was already starting to show his decline by the time Lebron got there. Kevin Durant joined not only a 73 win team that beat him, but he also joined a team of young players at their core with no decline. To top that off, the Warriors have the best coach in the league, if not 2nd best to Popovich. Eric Spolestra is not even close to Steve Kerr's coaching level.

Don't try to sugar coat it SAS.. You said what you said and got called out... Cookie cutting your reasoning to fit the narrative doesn't erased all the similarities between your gripes... LeBron built a super team while KD joined one. You want honey or sugar in your tea... End result - sweet tea.. Ain't nobody momma called this fool to say you're too nice to my son...

Building a super team and not knowing how it will play out is completely different from joining one. Last years warriors were already proven. They broke the record for most wins in a regular season and took the cavs to 7 games in the finals and won a championship a year prior. That Heat team lost to the Mavs their first year together. Btw, I am not a Lebron fan but that move by Durant was still weak.

James From all the bitching and complaining about KD, the fans are weak as Fuck. If you are an OKC fan you get a pass. LeBron fans have zero credibility in this argument. Everyone else, you didn't have a chance anyway so just sit back and watch from afar like us Warrior fans had to endure for 20 years. We've been on a 3 year run and all the schoolgirls act like we're keeping the cookies forever.... In my Conald Dumpt voice...."SAD"

Swisha Give me the people you pick over D.Wade and Bosh from the East... Ray Allen was 3 king as well... Bosh numbers went down but he was a proven stud. D.Wade easily ranks top 5 for position in this era. Don't give me that BS when we used draft picks and a free agent signing.

Ok, but why does it have to be only in the East? He could have went anywhere. He wasn't restricted to stay in the East but I would have picked D-Rose ( this is before his injury) and Melo over Wade or Bosh. I'm also pretty sure the Heat was a mediocre team before Lebron got there. Lets not pretend they were on the same level as last years Warriors.

Stephen A. is right; it was a weak move and we can see the results. An uninteresting league because when you add a superstar of his caliber to a 73 win team you get no competition. You get a sweep through the western conference and probably a five game Finals. He took all the air out of the league with his selfish move.

KD's not only made the NBA less competitive, but it also made it less interesting to watch from a fan perspective, so I agree with you completely. No question KD is super talented, but I also see him as a pussy for not sticking around in OKC to eventually beat the team that beat him in the WCF .. I don't understand his mentality. The true future best should want to beat the current best, no join their team for the sake of getting an easy ring.

Wow! Sounds like a loser to me... Even Lebron himself compared his move to the heat as Durant's to the warriors. Wilt Chamberlain led the NBA in assists and rebounds in 1968, earning an MVP, but was completely fed up with 76ers management. He demanded a trade to a Lakers team with Jerry West and Elgin Baylor that had made the Finals in five of seven seasons and ended up taking them to five more Finals in six seasons. The trade helped set up some of the most legendary Finals in NBA history. Earl Monroe couldn't win it all with the Bullets, so he demanded a deal and refused to play, ending up on a Knicks team that had won the championship a year earlier. Teamed up with Clyde Frazier, Willis Reed and four other Hall of Famers, they won another title in 1973. The trade changed Monroe's legacy to that a player whose career is remembered as having plenty of substance, not just flash. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar eventually got tired of living in Milwaukee, so he demanded a trade to either New York or Los Angeles. With the Lakers, he eventually was joined by Magic Johnson and James Worthy and won five championships. We remember Abdul-Jabbar as a member of that Lakers dynasty, not so much as the young Buck who played next to Oscar Robertson under the name Lew Alcindor. Bill Walton fought the Trail Blazers, demanding a trade and sitting out an entire season when they refused to honor it. When his contract with the Clippers was up, he limited his choices to the dominant Lakers and the dominant Celtics, eventually having a late-career resurgence with the Celtics. We think of his contributions to those Celtics as a symbol of his perseverance, not a sign of his weakness for refusing to stick it out in Portland or San Diego. Moses Malone won the MVP with the Rockets in 1982, then signed with a 76ers team that had made the NBA Finals the year before. The Rockets had the right to match the offer and did, but eventually traded Malone to the Sixers, where he would win the MVP and the NBA championship in 1983. We remember Malone not for pushing his way out of Houston, but for the utter dominance he displayed with both teams. And after free agency happened, NBA greats continued to ask for trades or sign to improve their situation. Shaquille O'Neal left Orlando as a free agent for the Lakers, where he played with Kobe Bryant and won three rings, and then demanded a trade to Miami, where he also won a ring. We don't fault Shaq now for his team switching. We view him as an all-time great capable of shaping the NBA to his desires. Clyde Drexler lost twice in the NBA Finals with the Blazers, but eventually requested a trade to a team where he might win a title. He ended up in his hometown of Houston with Hakeem Olajuwon, where they won in 1995. We don't fault him for failing to make it over the hump in Portland. We celebrate his eventual success in Houston. Kevin Garnett suffered many years in Minnesota, but eventually got traded to Boston to play with Paul Pierce and Ray Allen. We wouldn't view Garnett as the wise old man of the NBA if he hadn't won a ring, and he never would've won a ring if he kept fighting on hopelessly in Minnesota. And then there's LeBron James. James has now twice made a basketball decision to leave a team. He realized the Cavaliers teams of the late 2000s had reached their ultimate potential and moved to join Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh in Miami. Two championships later, he realized Wade and Bosh were declining, and moved to join Kyrie Irving in Cleveland. Both of James' moves have been successes. We view them differently, because one saw James ditch his long-suffering hometown and the other saw him become Cleveland's savior, but from a basketball perspective, they had similar motives. And both resulted in championships. Do Not Forget one fact no one talks about: Warriors is holding the best NBA drafts currently, maybe they're just too smart of an organization than most of the other teams. 3 out 5 starters were actually drafted by the warriors: Draft Year: 2009 Round 1 Pick 7 Player: Mr. Stephen Curry Draft Year: 2010 Round 1 Pick 11 Player: Mr. Klay Thompson Draft Year: 2012 Round 2 Pick 35 Player: Mr. Draymon Green Haters gonna hate | Losers gonna sound like Stephen A. Smith

You fail to realize that out of all the examples you gave, there was never a time where those teams were expected to go to and win the NBA finals over a 5 year span. There was always other competition in the mix so that even if the team was stacked and expected to win, shit happened and other teams were able to take them down. The warriors have been to 2 finals without KD and should have won both of them and now they have KD. The cavs are the only team that has a chance against them and they're about to get swept. There is no team in sight that can take the warriors down within the next 2-3 years. It's gonna be at least 5 straight years of seeing the same 2 teams in the finals and that's whack. All the teams you mentioned never went to 5 straight finals against another team you know why? Because THERE WAS COMPETITION/SUSPENSE. Even if the team was expected to win it was never guaranteed. The most powerful weapon in the league (and it's not even close) to try and take down the warriors is about to get swept. Are you kidding me? What don't you understand?

Bosh and D-Wade were both still great. Take Bosh or Wade off that team then they don't win a ring, HOWEVER, take LBJ off that team and they don't make it past the ecf. KD joined a team with already established superstars/all-stars in their primes, now, this GSW team would have inevitably made the finals, would have won at least 3 games anyway. KD had good stats but understand that the three of Klay, Curry and Dray would have done it without him, maybe lost game 3 and 4 but would have won game 5. I still think Cavs are gonna win the series, not much enthusiasm for some others, GSW fans are smug cunts as always, but I feel like Cavs would still win this series.
