So let's say in this timeline LeBron pulls off a massive upset in the 2015 finals and wins the finals in 7 games with delly as his second-best player and things still play out as they did in the 2016 finals with Golden state blowing a 3,1 series lead after winning 73 games.

Does Durant's move to golden state get viewed totally differently if the Golden State Warriors were unable to win a title before he came to the team does his legacy shoot up as a result because of it as people would have given him all the credit for making the Warriors champions after losing to lebron both both years before he joined them.

Would your all-time ranking of Durant change in this scenario where the Golden state warriors lose both finals to the Cavs before he joins them in the 2016 offseason and would you have given him more credit as a result if he still wins his two rings and finals mvps with them.

if the Warriors lose both years in 2015 and 2016 in 7 games then Steph's legacy is greatly affected and changed by two massive chokes to underdogs in both years 2015 through would be the worst choke throughout of the two finals and a horrible black mark on his legacy losing to a one-man team in LeBron that year.

Where would you rank Steph's all-time in this what-if?

I have a feeling if the Nets experiment doesn't work he'll finish his career in OKC.


Maybe even team up with both Harden/WB again.

Same copycat LeBron's career path lmao

The Nets experiment Won't work kyrie is too injury prone and if he suffers a serious injury like he does every year nowadays then they are done Durant is also going to be on the decline after his serious injury and not the same player he once was.
