If Durant beats SA without Ibaka...

[stalkerforlife]

Is he the best player since a prime Kobe? I say YES. Obviously, KD is better than LBJ right now. However, if he beats SA without his STUD defensive big, he is better than LBJ ever was. If KD wins a title without Ibaka, he AUTOMATICALLY jumps LBJ on the all time list because he didn't collude and he won without a key cog.

IMO, KD is already better than LBJ on the all time list. However, the media keeps pushing lies to the weaker sheep. HOWEVER, if he beats SA and wins a title WITHOUT a key cog, he will undoubtedly jump LBJ in the minds of the weakened sheep.

[DFish24]

He already the best since Prime Kobe.

Very true. I am talking about in the minds of the weakened sheep that have been force fed lies by the media.

[Kiddlovesnets]

This wont be happening, Thunder cant beat the Spurs even with Ibaka.
:no:

[RoundMoundOfReb]

He already the best since Prime Kobe.
Keep telling yourself that. Hes better than Kobe worse than LeBron deal with it.

[russwest0]

He is already the best since prime Kobe like said above, but damn, this would give him a legitimate case as being BETTER than prime Kobe.

Not likely it happens, however.

[JohnFreeman]

Durant is a top 250 player

[russwest0]

Taking Ibaka away from OKC in this matchup would be like taking Leonard away from the Spurs. Not their best player but plays such an important role in this matchup.

Most had this series going 6/7 games before the Ibaka injury. Just hard to see it going any other way than the Spurs in 6 games at the most, probably 5. Especially when you factor in Popovich vs Brooks who now has to adjust.

Great points.

Which is why it will take Durant playing like the GOAT to win this series.

I'm a big Durant fan, but how can you jump him above LeBron if he hypothetically gets only 1 ring and 1 MVP?


He can conceivably be rated better eventually, but you guys are getting wayyy ahead of yourselves.

Why not? His MVP and ring are LEGIT. He is not allowed to use a stiff arm to bull rush his way to the rim. He is not allowed "crab dibbles." He did not collude to form a super team. He is not a coward.

Winning ONE title in OKC is more respectable than winning FIVE on a super collusion team. "Not 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7..."

It proves that KD will do that shit rip-through move to get cheap points, sometimes not even facing the basket.

LeBron is smart to use his physical advantage to barrel through people, so did Shaq. KD has to resort to sleazy tactics.

I think all the top 20 players should atleast have 1 ring regardless if they were just a 2nd option or whatever.

KD will still win the chip. this will just give steve adams more minutes which is horrible news for splitter/duncan.

[Threethrows]

I think losing Ibaka's jumper hurts more than his defense tbh.

How this impacts Durant's legacy is not just about whether or not he wins though, but how he plays.

of coz okc can beat sa without ibaka,when they hv 3 more refs on okc's side :banghead:

[Lebron23]

Lebron already surpasses kobe

[GimmeThat]

I think people will look at his MVP very differently

And we can conclude that the NBA is a 2 man league then the rest, and most likely will be so for times to come.

[Big#50]

Beating them with no ref help would be more impressive IMO.

[Shade8780]

Im rooting for KD.

[raprap]

Never knew durant was the whole team in okc. I still give okc a chance even without ibaka. Westbrook and jackson will be the key though. Durant is great, but he does not affect the game like his stans assume.

Wow durant stans are borderline r*tarted

Durant is still EXPECTED to win this series with or without Ibaka since he is the MVP. If he wins he basically does what Lebron did to Pacers in 2012 without Bosh

He still has Westbrook, and he swept spurs in the regular season .


Stop making excuses, no matter what championship or bust, same expectations that Lebron had the last 4 year. If durant doesn't win championship then he can't even be in the discussion for best player in the nba, it's that simple .

Do LeBron nutt-huggers really believe that Pacers team in 2012, which would have won 52 games in a 82 game season, is really on par with this San Antonio team that won 61 games and led the league in wins?

I guarantee that Lebron doesn't win against San Antonio last year in the finals without Chris Bosh. LeBron loses in six games, at most, without Bosh against the Spurs, and that may be generous on my part.

Realistically the Thunder should aim at winning one game so the loss wont be so embarrassing. They did a good job this year making it thus far, but the Spurs are better than them even with Ibaka.

Lebron haters so gay :lol :lol




Zach Randolph suspended for game 7 in Memphis series(after Reggie Jackson led the team in scoring and to a win in a crucial game)

Multiple blown calls in the series against Clippers(got shut down by Chris Paul in a game). Westbrook wins(not ties the game like Ray Allen in game 5)


if this happened to LeBron would people not be laughing at him?



When has a player ever been suspended for the opposing team in a Heat series. Only Heat players have been suspended. He had to win a series without Bosh and then without Haslem and Pittman because they were suspended.



I don't even know why I entertain haters.
