Star a Franchise : Current "Curry and Kawhi" or Prime "Lebron and Durant"

[Tycriss]

Curry 2016 & Kawhi 2016 vs Lebron 2013 & Durant 2014
With coach Kerr ?

[Fire Colangelo]

Kawhi is the weak link, I'll take Lebron + Durant.

[Milbuck]

Lebron and Durant easily. Kawhi is just not on the other guys' levels.

[JZ600]

Kids overrating kwahi like crazy these days

[Segatti]

Lebron > Durant > Curry >>> Kawhi

[DonDraper]

Curry needs a very specific group of players around him to succeed

-Size on all 4 positions

-Elite defenders in all positions

-Elite playmaking teammates

-Tall backup PG

-Spot-up shooters

-Elite rim protection



He needs a very specific group of skillset around him to succeed to mask his deficiencies, you cant just plug him into a team and make them succeed


He's not an All-round machine like LeBron, more like a borderline star that masquerades as a Superstar when put with a very specific group of players that are tailored around his skillset.












Put Curry on any other playoff team in the league, they barely win 50 games

[sd3035]

In a game of two on two I'd probably take Lebald and Durant, but since the question is to start a franchise, I'd go with Curry and Kawhi

The reason, because Lebald is too ball dominant and makes other superstars much worse. Durant's role would be reduced to a Shane Battier

[sd3035]

Curry and Durant are on a much higher level than the other two, although Kawhi has killed Lebald on several occasions

I agree, although the Battier reference is a bit much.

It is much easier to fit a team around Curry/Kawhi, even though they don't have as much talent as Lebron/Durant.

It's true Lebron doesn't need any special teammates, he will just transform anyone into Booby Gibson, even a prime Shaq.

[dunksby]

Durant past his prime? Damn nobody cared to inform me :facepalm

[24-Inch_Chrome]

LeBron and Durant, easy.

[Lebron23]

LeBron and Durant. They are way better than the Beta Boys.

Exactly this. Lebron makes other stars worse and as an owner I don't want to deal with lebron jumping to other teams if he doesn't get his way.

Lebron's ball dominance didn't affect Kyrie as much... I feel like Lebron + KD is just gonna wreck hovac... Could you imagine a small ball line up with Lebron and KD? :bowdown:

[Segatti]

What? Lebron won 60+ games multiple seasons with an awful team, won multiple championships without a legit PG and C. Durant is playing just fine with a super ball dominant guard. It can't be easier to built a team around these guys.

Curry and Kawhi on the other hand are great players, but they are playing with elite systems to support them.

[Lebron23]

if you think about it. LeBron have more Finals MVP, and NBA MVP combined than Curry, Kawhi, and even Godrant.

The disrespected he's getting in this thread. :facepalm :facepalm :facepalm

[red1]

You would have to be crazy to not take durant and lbj. That duo would demolish the league.

[sd3035]

Kyries just freezes out Lebald whenever he feels like it, plus he's a point guard so he gets to bring the ball up sometimes. Durant is too polite and passive to be more than a bail out guy with the shot clock winding down with Lebald

[dunksby]

This doesn't make sense.

[Lebron23]

Lebron and Durant would be as dominant as Kareem and Magic in the early to mid 1980's.

It's an Alpha-Alpha relationship. Prime LeBron + Current Durant is like the Predator, and Alien teaming up.

[red1]

This doesn't make sense.
He is a retarded troll. Literally all he does.

[sd3035]

This doesn't make sense.

How? Lebald holds the ball for 20 seconds all the time, then gets scared to take a tough shot so he dumps it off to a teammate for a contested jump shot. That's how he gets most of his assists

He's probably Simon, or another account of Mr. Jabbar.

[sd3035]

Durant would be a bail out guy if he played with Lebald

Maybe with fewer words, it's easier for you to understand :lol

[sd3035]

You think everyone is Simon. Simon was only russwest, Budadiii and all of his alts are another person, dumb peanut head :lol

[Gileraracer]

Lebron needs at least 2 other all stars so i go with curry and kawhi

[dunksby]

Durant would be a bail out guy if he played with Lebald

If you can't find what's wrong with the above, you gotta go back to school man.

good point :applause:

[DonDraper]

LOL, do you guys really wanna see Kawhi turn into a spot-up shooter?

[red1]

You know it's true. All you do is troll and give ridiculous opinions. Why are you even on this board? :oldlol: Do you support a team or hoop in real life? Serious question.

Why does someone have to play basketball to watch it?

[Lebronxrings]

lebron + durant. Curry and kawhi are nice, but they are system players and need great teammates to succeed. Lebron and durant are good no matter what you put around them, good teammates or bad teammates.

Where did I say that? I asked if you support a team or hoop at all. The reason I ask is because the only thing I have ever seen you post is a steady stream of trollish nonsense -literally nothing else.

Just from this thread alone:

Indeed. The impartial analysis of someone who bandwagons from durant to curry and who in all likelihood can't even dribble a ball. Keep up the good work :applause:

lol I can dribble

Doubt that. Someone with even the most basic basketball ability or understanding would certainly have more respect for the 2nd GOAT (certified top 5 GOAT already) and another potential top 10-15 player.

Step your dribbling game and fan game up http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130919055618/steamtradingcards/images/7/7a/Steam_Summer_Getaway_Emoticon_B1.png

Speaking of bandwagoning, how many games has Lebron started for the raptors? :oldlol:

[red1]

I am a loyal raptor fan from day one and support them first and foremost in every match-up. I have also been pretty consistent with the players that I support and am reasonable even with the ones I am not a fan of.

Stanning durant during his mvp season and then doing a 180 and stanning curry after he wins is ridiculous because those two teams are rivals. Thats like a laker fan bandwagoning the celtics after they won in 2008. And none of this excuses your garbage posting history. At least some trolls are occasionally funny. Step it up.

but my username indicates that since the moment I joined, I've been a fan of both. Nothing has changed, I'm a model of loyalty and consistency :applause:

:facepalm

[Lebron23]

Lebron is living rent free inside that man's head. That's why guys like him and Jabbar might end their life if Le3rdplayerofalltime wins his 3rd Finals MVP.

[golden24boy]

must be Lebron + Durant + another superstar cuz Lebron needs more help than one...guy has cursed jumpshoot:lebroncry:

[Fudge]

Give me the two best players in the league, currently and prime/peak wise; LeBron and Durant.

[Inferno]

Bran and KD. Give me Steph and KD tho :rockon:

[jimmybball]

Curry and Duncan.

[BigMacAttack]

I feel like Curry and kawhi fit much better and would be easier to build around. Still a prime LBJ and KD would be something to see.

[TheMilkyBarKid]

LeBron and kd is a no brainer.

Plus Durant seems to bring out the best in LeBron, imagine these 2 guarding each other in practice plus the chemistry they'd develop. It just isn't a fair comparison.

LeBron/Durant >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Curry/Kawhi
