This one was young MJ lost to prime Isiah, the other one was prime Lebron lost to prime Durant, see the difference?

[dankok8]

One key difference is that KD outplayed Lebron in 2017 and played him close in 2018 whereas Jordan always heavily outplayed Isiah.

KD feasted off of the Cavs gameplan to double and trap Curry. He got wide open dunks while the Cavs ran out to the three point line because Curry was the greater threat. Anyone who watched that series knew that KD didn't outplay Lebron, and you are incredibly low IQ for thinking so.

The fact you think KD "played Lebron close" in 2018 after witnessing Game 1 proves that you are an imbecile.

KD comes up with LeBron and Moses with KAJ. Both LeBron and KAJ were in their 30's (KAJ was 36!) going up against top 15 AT players at their peaks. We never saw an older MJ face that type of challenge (or even prime MJ--the toughest SG he faced was Drexler, who is top 40-45 all-time). The parallels would be akin to 97' or 98' MJ facing peak Kobe (e.g., 06'-08') or peak West. How do we think that would go?

About as well as every series sans Pip went for MJ, so about 1/9.

Wrong. KD was the greater threat.

KD was the biggest reason why the Warriors became a dynasty. Before his arrival, the Warriors were not a dynasty.

2017: The general consensus was that KD outplayed Lebron in this series. I can pull up articles if you want.

2018: Lebron was by far the best in Game 1 and then wasn't anywhere close to it the rest of the series. KD was better in Game 3 and Game 4.

Thing is you can't have it both ways. If Lebron was too old in 2017 and 2018 to outplay a top 15-20 player ever in Durant then how good can he be this year in 2020? I have peeps making excuses for those years but saying how current Lebron is better than Jordan in like 1997. Makes no bloody sense. If Lebron is still in his prime right now, then people have to accept that a prime Lebron failed to outplay KD, a top 15-20 player ever, in two straight Finals.

My personal view is Lebron wasn't old in 2017 and 2018. After all he was 32/33 years of age and that's same as 1980 Kareem or 1996 Jordan and those guys were definitely still in their primes then. And they weren't getting outplayed by anyone then.

You're completely wrong.

LeBron averaged a 34 point triple-double on 55% in the 2017 Finals

Literally impossible to "outplay" that :lol KD won the series, sure, but outplayed LeBron? Nah

In the process, handing two fmvps to him but lue is so dumb. He didn't imbue his team with some impeccable defense so they can subdue their offensive power each time when it mattered the most. Thus, a sweep became inevitable. Bran did everything he can to carry his own team but obviously a one-man team can't win against a stacked dynasty team.

He was 27 in ‘90. **** outta here with that young bullshit.

So? His prime started when he was 28 in 91, and since then he did not lose a playoffs series.
