You cannot be that stupid. You just can't.
It's the same thing.

Lol
They were all pretty old by then
they were about what durant is now, and theyre the ones flaming him for not winning.

No bus driving is needed, just pulling together and enough power in the engine room, and a good stroke to manage the pace. It is forgotten that a lot of great pieces of that 73 win team left when Durant joined. While some were past their prime, the losses were not insignificant and at least one got a max contract. Had he stayed and developed under Curry, GS would have still been a serious contender for those 3 titles. Also, Durant worked hard to integrate under a clear coaching plan, it wasnt automatic.
Bkn lacks swing, they are not pulling together despite ample power in the engine room. Hence Durant is 'catching a crabs' occasionally, trying to do too much. Pulling with a great crew feels great. I recommend trying it some time. It takes a lot of time on the water before you start swinging and find your collective power.

Surely you can comprehend the difference between things being SIMILAR vs being the SAME.
What LBJ did was similar but it was NOT the same.
You have to be incredibly butthurt/hate LBJ or just lack some basic comprehension if you don't see how what KD was similar but not the same because it was actually a level up and more extreme than (the highlighted words are key) what LeBron did. Same is LeBron joining a record win setting team that had ALREADY won a championship and gone to back-to-back ones. That simply did not happen which makes it not the same. But they are similar in the intent to create a super team, just KD took it further by joining a pre-established championship team and let's just do simple numbers....LeBron joined TWO stars, KD joined THREE stars...even irrefutable math says that's not the same thing lol so NO it's not the same, it's similar.

They're not stupid, you're just in extreme self delusion.
Which is fine, it's the same way some Warrior fans will still defend Durant's decision to join them as anything other than trying to stack the deck and win meaningless championships.
Says a fan of the franchise which invented the modern super team.
Bob Myers is definitely a better GM than LeBron though..

Lebron rode the bus to an L. WHEN he drove they won the Chip.

Not really the same thing here. Baby Chuck didn't choose to get drafted by the Sixers with those older HOF players (and if you know the whole story, he even tried to avoid getting drafted by them). Old man Chuck did ring chase, but he did so with other old men looking for one last try, not a collection of other players in their prime while he was in his prime.
