      People need to just get over the GS free agency decision already. He's one of the greatest if not the greatest scorer ever and most fans just shit on the dude, it's so pathetic, they won 2 rings, they didn't have some 10 year dynasty ruining the league. I watched a TON of Kobe as a Lakers fan growing up, and I promise if you weren't watching them both like that, Durant was a much better player. People get mad when I saw it, but it's true, if you think Kobe is top 5 ( I don't) then you better have Durant there too, he does everything Kobe did but better and 5 or 6 inches taller.

They've only won 1 other playoff series besides that weak season in the 5 years since he's been gone. You act like nothing changed when they're barely above .500 winning percentage since he left. Typical no context Durant hater, but keep clinging to that ring to discredit the guy that has more Finals MVPs than Curry :)

      It's crazy how overrated Giannis is. He only has a ring because the season he won they had like a 40 day offseason and most of the other teams had a major injuries, I don't even consider it a true championship, it was like a participation trophy for whoever had the fewest injuries, ie the Bucks and Suns, in a regular season neither team even makes the Finals, as we saw the next year. @@jvenning3

      I know surprisingly it's actually the little guys that are strong that have the best chance because they bother his dribble, like Tony Allen did amazing against him, and Iguodala because he's so strong, long arms and high IQ, but only a hand full of guys in the last 15 years have had a chance, everyone else gets cooked. Even LeBron couldn't slow him down in the Finals.

      He does get the most favorable calls by far, he trucks the defender and it's a defensive foul, it's actually crazy how much refs have helped his scoring and he uses that as his primary form of offense, just steamroll guys and know the refs will maybe call one offensive foul a game if it's TERRIBLE.
