Want to know why LeBron wins while Durant keeps losing?

[dubeta]

Because LeBron maximizes his teammates to the fullest. Its not just a bunch of iso ball/hero ball ala OKC. LeBron gets the most out of his teammates


Look at his shot chart in Cleveland vs Miami, he took less 3's in Miami. Developed a low post game so that his shooters are open and he can set his teammates up


Look at Wade, wades knees were degrading so what does LeBron do? He sets up Wade for easy buckets from backdoor plays etc. Wade isnt forced to create for himself every play. Wade shot 54% this year just from basically open looks LeBron gives him


Look at Bosh, Bosh admitted he's too scared to bang down low so LeBron gives him open jumpshots. Bosh can relax and do what he does best. Heck Bosh's $118 million contract was basically because of LeBron helping him


Look at Chalmers. He's going to get EXPOSED this year without LeBron. Chalmers isnt a true point guard. He likes to shoot, and makes too many careless mistakes. LeBron basically took his job as a point guard, and let Mario roam around on offense and take all the shots he wants


Compared to OKC, where every player is basically in isolation, there's no unity. Put Durant on OKC, then switch him to Houston, Spurs, Pacers it wont matter, he'll play the exact same game. ISO jumpshots, and too afraid to post up, he cant adjust himself to maximize his teammates, doesnt have the versatility

0 points in Game 7 tho

This. Also the fact he joined a superteam and had the refs on his side in 2012 due to the sympathy of Stern.

lebron made it to the finals then got smoked by a more experienced team
2007

KD made it to the finals then got smoked by a more experienced team 2012

Lebron had to watch kobe go back to back 2009 2010

KD had to watch lebron go back to back 2012 2013

The difference between the two is that lebron is further into his career then Durant.

it took lebron a while to start winning. Durant will get there dont worry.

This exact thread could've been made in 2011 (and probably was) if you switched LeBron's name with Kobe, and Durant's name with LeBron. Stop being narrow minded about this type of stuff.

I didnt know comparing 1 year of LeBron with a good supporting cast, was comparable to Durants 4 years with a good supporting cast

Face it you cant compare by ages, considering LeBron won in his 2nd year with a good team, while Durants heading into his 5th year with a good team without a ring

Jesus, this kid has posted 3000+ times in less than a year? And he's still red?

exactly durant and lebron are in two different stages of their career. durants not exactly a loser he does really well in a tough conference. just like lebron before his first chip. their careers are a actually quite similar as this point.

you can make the arguement that lebron had les help but he had the weaker conference. yes he beat the celtics. and then lost to the celtics made it to the finals once.

Durants got more help but a much much tougher conference. especially come playoff time. he beat the spurs then got beat by the spurs made it to the finals once and lost. notice a similarity here???.

Negs have been turned off for months and he's still in the red

Durant's problem is he's too predictable, especially in the 4th quarter of tight games. He's either going to go iso himself, or he's going to pass to Westbrook and let him iso. The Thunder have arguably the best jump shooting PF in the league, yet they never use him in the 4th quarter.
Durant's predictable iso game works okay during the regular season, but once coaches start game planning for it in the playoffs he is easily shut down.

Durants iso has a massive arsenal in it. he can do almost anything when it comes to putting the ball in the bucket. so although you know hes going to score you dont actually know how which doesnt make it all that predictable.
