    Durant has already been in the Finals.

    half that pressure. the only thing he did wrong was that 1 hour show. leaving cavs for heat was not a bad or wrong decision.

    Exactly. Lebron killed the competitive balance in the NBA. He shoulda won a chip in Cle then formed his super team.

    He had pressure yes and it was mounting, but don't act like it didnt grow like 100000000 times once he left. Thats when people said his legacy was on the line.

    And Melo has been in the WCF. It's irrelevant. Fact is, fans don't have the same expectations of Melo and Durant.

    Kevin Durant is basically Karl Malone right now. If he doesn't win anything, pretending like people will not criticize him is asinine.

    People bash Melo a lot. KD and Chris Paul needs more blame. Especially CP.
