How many rings do you think Lebron would have won with Durant's teams.

[coastalmarker99]

In this hypothetical situation Lebron is drafted by Okc in 2007.

2007-2008 season with 2003-2004 Lebron = lottery team still.

2008-2009 season with 2004-2005 Lebron =lottery team still

2009=2010 season with 2005-2006 Lebron= finals appearance

2010-2011 season with 2006-2007 Lebron= WCF loss

2011-2012 season with 2007-2008 Lebron finals loss to the big three of Durant/Wade/Bosh

2012-2013 season with 2008-2009 Lebron = WCF loss.

2013-2014 season with 2009-2010 Lebron =ring

2014-2015 season with 2010-2011 Lebron=ring

2015-2016 season with-2011-2012 Lebron =ring

2016-2017 season with 2012-2013 Lebron =ring and a 70 win season plus 16 and 0 in the playoffs.

2017-2018 season with 2013-2014 Lebron= ring

2018-2019 season with 2014-2015 Lebron=ring

2019-2020 season with 2015-2016 Lebron second round loss.

2020-2021 season with 2016-2017 Lebron = ring.

2021-22 season with 2017-2018 Lebron finals appearance and a likely ring over Golden state.


Therefore I think with Durant's teams that Lebron would be currently sitting on 6 to 8 rings so far.

[Jasper]

imo he would of had the same number of rings if Bron stayed in Miami , Cav' s or where he considered home .... players would of come to play with him.

[Full Court]

Lebron would have at least seven rings if he wasn't the biggest choker of all time.

[sdot_thadon]

I dunno but Kd may have had the absolute best luck of any star ever regarding teammates, shit just never worked out besides that one sure thing he had.

[dankok8]

Doubt Lebron with OKC wins any rings except in 2016. With the Warriors considering he doesn't get injured in 2019, it's an almost definite threepeat though. With Nets no ring because nothing he can do about injured teammates.

So about 4 rings just like he did in reality.

[Gudo]

He’d have people traded. Some teammates will diminish and not thrive for long term in the bronball system. This exercise is pointless.

[ArbitraryWater]

2006-2008 LBJ with 2010-2012 OKC woud come up similary short imo, 2010 probaby pulls off the upset over the Lakers though. At that point, who knows.

2009 LBJ on 2013 OKC without RW? Again, probably comes up just short.

Is he fighting the hypothetica version of the at-the-time LeBron James though? There has to be a counterpart. Cant just take KD and LeBron out. I guess what woud work we is if you counteractivey pug KD into eBrons team.

2010 LBJ on 2014 OKC = Chip 100%
2011 LBJ on 2015 OKC = probaby no Chip? Maybe 18 ppg on 48% woud have been enough against the 2015 Cavs though. 2015 Curry wasnt that much better. Just ran the score up in a couple games.
2012 LBJ on 2016 OKC = Chip 100%
2013-15 LBJ on 2017-2019 GSW = 3x Chips
2016 LBJ on 2020 Nets = comes up just short
2017-2018 LBJ on 2021- 2022 Nets = 2x Chips
2019 LBJ on 2023 Suns = Chip


Yo, this was scary...


genuinely woud have about 10 championships.

Doubt Lebron with OKC wins any rings except in 2016. With the Warriors considering he doesn't get injured in 2019, it's an almost definite threepeat though. With Nets no ring because nothing he can do about injured teammates.

dafuq? :oldlol:

[guy]

How on earth could anyone have watched the last 2 years and conclude that Lebron would’ve been a better fit with Westbrook and had so much more success then Durant had with him?

[1987_Lakers]

8.

[guy]

Also, why does anyone think Lebron would’ve fared better in Brooklyn like he’s the opposite of dysfunction?

[8Ball]

With Jordan's teams?

1990 Ring
1991 Ring
1992 Ring
1993 Ring
1994 Ring
1995 Ring
1996 Ring
1997 Ring
1998 Ring

How on earth are you equating last 2 years Russ to 2012-2016 Russ?

You seriousy trying to argue 2008-2012 LBJ woud have no success with the 2012-2016 OKC teams?


Wake the fk up

The 2021 Nets didnt lose because of dysfunction. They lost because of an inch.

Bron is better than KD though, and probably brings the Nets across the finish line with a 2-0 lead in the bag.

And he won with Kyrie before. The 2022 Nets supporting cast was better than the 2016 Cavs supporting cast.
