Durant went FULL LEBRON tonight

[FultzNationRISE]

He’s strayed away from his inner Lebron the last few years with the GS and Brooklyn collusion. But for tonight at least, he found it within himself.

LeInspiration would be proud.

[ImKobe]

Lebron would have folded down 17 in the 2nd half, just like he folded in Games 5 & 6 this year.

[3ball]

He strayed away from his inner Lebron the last few years with the GS and Brooklyn collusion, but for tonight at least he got it back.

LeInspiring would be proud.


Durant's high-scoring games include a sufficient amount of ASSISTED scores, while elevates teammates to higher role, and makes guys like Harden champions

Otoh, Lebron's high-scoring games are ball-dominant and reduce teammates to spot-up shooter, so his high scoring doesn't win (zero series wins outside 1st Round with 35+ ppg)

U wish bron could get those shots off. 90% of the time he dosn't have the confidence to take them in those situations. Bron dominates in a different way. Nothing about that was like lebron

[Manny98]

Big LeBron fan but he could never have a perfomance like that in his life

His jumpshot is nowhere near consistent enough

[And1AllDay]

kd finally embracing bran ball and it looks good on him

another disciple of bran ball

now kd saying "whoa this is what it feel like living like bran"

[imdaman99]

Yep, even though KD has never had a moment like Game 6 bron against Celtics. That Celtics team was a champion, this Bucks team... not

plsu brans teammates choked up big that game. his #2 and #3 best guys didnt outscore jeff green alone

wade 17 pts
chalmers 9 pts



kd at least got 27 from jeff green and 17 from blake

Exactly..

And jumpshooting is often assisted.. So Durant's high-scoring games include a sufficient amount of ASSISTED scores, while elevates teammates to higher role, and makes guys like Harden champions

Otoh, Lebron's high-scoring games are ball-dominant and reduce teammates to spot-up shooter, so his high scoring doesn't win (zero series wins outside 1st Round with 35+ ppg)

It's not even about confidence. He just doesn't score like that. It's interesting that Lebron's game is considered all power while KD's considered finesse but their approach in terms of how to score is the other way around. KD scores by brute force shot making ability. Lebron at his best is able to almost close the gap in scoring due his ability to use the threat of the pass and his ability to read defenses well enough to collect easy buckets.

[Spurs m8]

Bron wishes he had half the pure skill Durant has.

KD put these guys on his back and carried them to a victory for the ages.

LeBron can't even get a playoff win without AD

Looks like Durant created 2 Pippen's in Jeff Green and Blake Griffin - 27 and 17 pts

Jordan wins 6 chips with Green/Blake

[FultzNationRISE]

Durant be like

Lebron mode: ACTIVATED




We stay winnin :pimp:

James not on that list :(

[kenneth_griffin]

reminded me more of kobe vs the suns in 2010 tbh


I didn't see Durant traveling, charging, flopping, crying and getting bailed out by the refs

just pull up jumpers over the defense

[3ball]

jordan wins zero chips without pippen dont 4get it :oldlol:


Stockton/Malone demolished Shaq/Duncan and were basically B2B champs, so Stockton/MJ would win every year.. Stockton is 8th all-time in BPM and has twice as many All-NBA as Pippen.

Heck, Smits/Miller nearly beat the Bulls and took the 00' Lakers to 6 games... So Smits/MJ win every year with that same Pacer cast..

So this idea that Pippen was needed is false. Pippen was just the low-producing bum that came along after the super-team 80's, when expansion had spread the talent around evenly so 2-star teams could win... Obviously, anyone wins alongside the GOAT in a 2-star vs 2-star format... If only Woolridge could've been so lucky, smh

[kenneth_griffin]

you're just gonna dissown lebron light 2009/2010 and jump on a kobe guy to help yourself sleep at night?



jesus. show a shred of dignity

Yeah i agree with all of that other than the confidence part. There's times where u can clearly see bron second guessing taking the jumper even when that's what the defense is giving. Other times he seems not to think twice about it. The 15 finals is a good example. The mid and three was what the Warriors defense was giving. No way you could defend kd like that. He'd score 50 a game.

[coin24]

Nope, Durant delivered the monster package tonight..

LeTiny would have lost

its funny cause every time I'm at the bar I sh*t all over letard fans by saying "I guess you must think pippen was better than mj too. he was longer, taller, played more positions. defended more positions, handled the ball more. assisted more. rebounded more. was arguably a better defender and better post up player vs bigs



they start laughing and say "ok you got me"



but you actually believe it. interesting


hey Jeff.. go to bed

Full Lebron mode with HCA Game 5 series tied 2-2

https://www.basketball-reference.com/boxscores/201206050MIA.html

Guess that is full Lebron mode playing against a legit championship contender.

[kawhileonard2]

Jordan never played with someone who won league or finals mvp. No other top 10 player all time can say that.

What I mean to say is he has no basis to really be confident in those situations.

[kenneth_griffin]

there isn't really anything to win in a conversation about who's better between Jordan and lebron

I mean who's on team lebron


-jeff from insidehoops forums
- nick Wright
- Shannon Sharpe
- Isiah Thomas ( if Kareem isn't in the convo )
- Dr J (ditto plus wilt, Russell, Oscar, West, Baylor)
- lebron himself



vs?
the world plus every other all time great, coach and rival of lebrons

and this is the exact same teams for the kobe vs bran argument except you can add Stephen a Smith and max Kellerman on team go to bed Jeffery

[Code Breaker]

You’d know a thing or two about that.

[Bawkish]

KD played full 48 minutes

Bron left the game mid-quarter while sitting in a bench
