KoB2011 Posted May 27, 2018 Report Share Posted May 27, 2018 Just now, Hoosierhoopster said: I’m not really a LeBron fan either, but what he’s done and is doing right now, closing in on his mid-30’s, is amazing. We’ve come to expect it, so we take it for granted, but no one else is playing on his level (including Durant who thinks he is) Durant will probably go down as a top 10 player of all time, certainly top 15. But when he tries to be LeBron the Warriors become vulnerable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan, Lebron, Kobe, Kareem, Wilt, Russell, Hakeem, Bird, Duncan, Magic...there's 10 off the top of my head that he'll never crack. I could add Barry, Baylor, Cousy, Dr J, Gervin, Frazier...Lucas, Pistol Pete, West...Oscar. Maybe my NBA radar isn't working or maybe I don't pay close enough attention but if Durant ever ends up on a top 10 list of all time I'd be shocked. I think he's Dirk good. Wade good. Worthy good...but top 10? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think every team LBJ has faced in the Finals would be favored over any team Jordan faced. And let's not act like there haven't been some great teams in the East in LBJ's career. The Celtics and Pacers have certainly had some championship caliber teams that couldn't get through LeBron. Agree all day. What Jordan had to play for titles was crap. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ADegenerate Posted May 27, 2018 Report Share Posted May 27, 2018 The rockets really gonna pull this off? I’d like to see it. Dantoni deserves a ring before he goes out IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADegenerate Posted May 27, 2018 Report Share Posted May 27, 2018 Durant would lead the league in scoring by a wide margin every year if he didn’t play with Russ and on this stacked warriors squad. I think he ends up top 10. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s still in his 20s with an MVP and a ring while scoring 27.1 a game. He’s a decent rim protector now too. Wades on 22 pg and got his 3 rings with Shaq and lebron (granted that Shaq team was clearly his). Edited May 27, 2018 by ADegenerate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s free agency for a reason. In Europe they call it ambition when you want to win titles and don’t dish out ridicule for forcing yourself to stay in a bad situation. What’s the issue? You want to win?! Shame shame shame on you for bettering your situation! Tsk tsk no no don’t do that. It’s beyond ridiculous. So you’re drafted to Sacramento and you’re a top 10 player now, maybe top 3 in year 4...no you can’t leave! You’re too good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosierhoopster Posted May 27, 2018 Report Share Posted May 27, 2018 I don’t like Durant, and his move to the team that beat him was a chickensh$$ wimp move that rightfully drew the disgust of most players and fans. Can’t stand him. That said he’s clearly one of the best players today. I would put him behind Kawhi, but no further than 3rd. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosierhoopster Posted May 27, 2018 Report Share Posted May 27, 2018 Well had to think GS would bring the fight at some point. As good as the Rockets are, I’ve never liked D’Antoni’s short bench, 7 guys in the playoffs? GS is attacking in a way right now that wears the Rockets down fast 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
