I think it's LeBrons fault that now players are hopping on each others bandwagons it's become the new trend now. Gotta be Durant signing with the Warriors. LeBron left a team that had done a terrible job surrounding him with talent. He carried that team on his back every year. KD had been given teammates like Westbrook/Harden/Ibaka/etc. They were up 3-1 in the WCF this season. LeBron left to play with his best friends. Durant left to join a 73 win team. I don't even think they are comparable. At least LeBron used his decision to raise money for the Boys and Girls Club.

i actually agree with Stephen A Smith for once....at least for the most part...still felt he should've stayed with OKC....then again he is signing a 1 +1 deal....so the drama continues next year unless the Warriors win it all this year.

Durant even tweeted in 2010 after LeBrons decision that he despises the fact players developing superteams which is totally nothing what he meant after signing with GSW.

LeBron left a Cav's team that had no stars around him in 2007, in fact just a bunch of complete nobodies around him. I don't fault LeBron for what he did, it was just "the WAY" he went about announcing his decision (ESPN special "I'm taking my talents to South Beach).

KD left a team that had another top 5 player in the NBA in Westbrook and a great supporting cast. And a team that had the Warriors completely beat down 3-1 and game 6 in the bag at home (until Durant got scared and choked in the 4th qtr),'

Kevin Durant wasn't scared in any of the games against the Golden State Warriors what happened is that he ran out of gas ....

The very same thing happened to the Golden State Warriors against Cleveland.

Nah his 4th qtr performance in game 6 was as classic a choke as you can get (Steven A. Smith agreed with me and called it a "flat out choke"). You could see it in his eyes as he wilted under pressure and got scared. Started turning the ball over and forcing garbage fallaway shots. Been watching hoops a long time, that was about as classic as a meltdown 4th qtr choke as you will ever see. Some guys have the balls under pressure, some do not.

lol wow... KD jumps to GS and it's Lebron's fault? I guess it is always his fault.

I don't know that he should have stayed in OKC. But there was no way he was going to go to the east. He will never measure up to Lebron. He doesn't want to face him until the finals. He'll still have his hands full with the Spurs though.

If the Spurs can land Gasol they will be very interesting. Another year to meld Lamarcus Aldridge into the chemistry of that team. And I love Kahwi Leonard....only 25 years old and a complete stud, he gets better every year.
