If 2 of Curry’s 4 count. So does Durants 2.

Warriors literally lose both the 2017 & 2018 Finals against Lebron of they don’t have KD. Stop it. They needed each other for those rings.

Treasure. Any NBA ring is treasure.

How bad does it feel knowing the Warriors replaced KD with Wiggins and still won?

Trash. Should've stayed in OKC and went down a legend like Dirk.

Hilarious coming from you considering how hard you've caped for him on this board the last 5 years :lol:

Guess he was just a convenient prop you used to diminish LeBron

Onto Steph now

In 2017 the Cavs have a good chance, it would have been a rematch of 2016 which was a coinflip series, but in 2018 the Warriors win easily. That Cavs team was one of the least talented to ever make the Finals.

But yeah, KD's rings are a complete joke and everybody knows it, whether or not they want to admit it. He joined a 73 win team that had just beaten him in 7 games, had already won a ring, and was one or two plays away from repeating, only losing because the GOAT had the three greatest consecutive games anybody has ever had in the Finals. Any solid role player in KD's place and they would win anyway, as show by the fact that they just won with Andrew Wiggins in his place to go with older and worse versions of Klay/Green/Curry surrounded by less talented role players.

If Durant's rings don't count, then neither should Lebron's.

They are all stack the deck team up rings. The only difference is the degree of stacking.

They lost in literally the final minute of Game 7 in 2016 with LeBron & Kyrie having monster series, Curry & Klay having terrible ones, and Harrison Barnes going 5/32 over the final 3 games of the series. The idea they would lose both those Finals without KD is absolutely laughable.

KD is amazing. Right behind Scottie on the all time lists.

Except KD isn’t most of the league. He wants to be seen as one of the greatest players ever and he just got overshadowed by Steph. He’s not even 2nd to lebron of this generation. When he wants to be seen as better than lebron so bad lol. You know damn well he’ll be in his feelings tonight

I dont think so

The Cavs were even better in 17

The Spurs were blowing out GS in game 1 with KD until Zaza...

Who knows what happens to the Cavs in 18 if Kyrie stays or what not

I think Lebron has another ring at least

Maybe GS wins 1 of the 2 though?

He was always outshadowed by Steph.

Treasure because he was just beating Lebron at his own game switching teams and joining stars.

KD’s rings are
