So that pretty much tells you who is better.
This post makes me happy.
Durant doesn’t get praised about for almost beating Giannis, he gets praised for almost beating the to be nba champions bucks team, alone, no harden no Kyrie. Coz when Kyrie was healthy, you know before Giannis undercut Kyrie on a defensive rebound leading to a Kyrie injury, the nets smashed the bucks by 10 points then 40 points.
Both those gms were in Brooklyn the 1st gm was close could have gone either way. The bucks were up the whole gm 3 by double figures when Kyrie got hurt there is no guarantee that the nets would have won in Milwaukee but keep believing that lol

You don’t think he could be a good 5 on one leg?

People love to discredit KD’s rings but will also have Lebron in the GOAT conversation despite being the original superteam chaser.
Anyway I think right now they’re both in that 15-20 range. You could put one higher than the other and it could be justified.
You're exposing yourself as a casual if you're trying to compare Durant's rings to the ones LeBron got

I mean most casuals don't realize le(GM)bron got his rings by colluding with players contracted to other teams, the best players he could in order to win a ring. Pete Rose gets villified, but lebron gets glorified.

KD is now with the suns.....Maybe his chances are better now to be higher that Giannis at the end of their career but this is likely not change much
