Please list the teams in all of nba playoff history who were ranked lower in both (rating) categories compared to their opponent and won. I really want you to find this answer for me bc it seems you are trying to overlook the significance of this. I stated the warriors had a 75% head to head win percentage against those cavs when they were healthy and all parties not named steph on the warriors healthy. This holds true even in the 2016 finals. With just steph injured the warriors were up 3-1. It wasn't until iggy, bogut also got injured and green got suspended that the cavs started coming back. Think about it. It took 4 of the 6 top warriors getting injured or suspended for a game including their best player for it to go 7. No one knows what would happen but it's dang sure way more likely that the warriors continue to win. Unless you're saying they'd get 4/6 of their top players injured, suspended for a game again in 2017 and 2018.

Going to GS is not a negative for KD based on the impact to his legacy. What has happened _AFTER_ going to GS is going to have a greater negative effect on his legacy than him being there. Even more so, the fact that GS was able to win a championship _AFTER_ KD left pretty much removes KD from any GOAT conversation. He's a two-time champion, a two-time Finals MVP, an Olympic gold medalist, and a first-ballot Hall of Famer. For many, that résumé should be enough. I don't understand why there is an insistence on elevating him to levels he just doesn't reach based on what he's accomplished.

He means that KD’s history has shown that he cant stay with a team for at least 5+ years (other than OKC), and work with that organization through their losses and problems, rather he prefers to “team hop”. Mark of a great player is one, despite problems, tries to work with the players and organization, taking leadership and trying to help guys get better, not that KD doesnt make his team better. He is a extreme talent, however besides GSW, which was pretty stacked, he’s only carried a team to the finals once. Not to mention he’s been hopping 3-4 four teams in past couple years. Lebron is a good example; for his first stint in Cleveland, he played for 8 years, he did go to Miami, and did win their with a stacked team, HOWEVER, prior to Miami took his Cavs to the finals numerous times, and he has won a chip after Miami as well; w the Lakers and Cleveland again. With how bad Lakers are doing he could have opted for a trade or even within the time of his first stint in Cleveland but he stayed; that’s the mark of a great player.

I was the biggest critic of KD decision to go the Warriors. But i also said that he should've stayed there and rack up as many championship as possible by the 4th ring he wouldve changed people minds.

Nothing you've said removes GSW from the same criticism as KD for getting easy rings. We can only criticize what happened, you can't excuse weak moves because "any other team wouldve done the same". Regardless, KD was the best player and difference maker, as well as the biggest reason they won those years as handily as they did. Even if he wasnt considered the leader, it was a team that had natural chemistry, shared leadership, and prided itself on team ball and strength in numbers anyway, unlike the Lebron Cavs or Kobe Lakers. If GSW in 2016 really was the best team of all time they could have decided they didnt need him, but they actively recruited him after the embarassment of the finals. All im saying is that its hypocritical of media and fans to only give KD all the criticism meanwhile letting GSW essentially get ALL the benefit and prestige of being 4 time champs when half of them were the same rings they question KD for. Are we supposed to believe that GSW still win in 17' and 18' no matter what ?

All KD needs to do to stop people questioning those two rings is to win elsewhere to prove he also didn't need the warriors to win.

Soo much is wrong with the whole argument. Let’s look at the KD warriors vs lebron’s cavs match ups. Steph vs Kyrie … even but give the edge to Steph, kd vs lebron… even but give the edge to lebron… klay vs Kevin love… even both were laser 3 pt shooters, klay was better at 3s love did more defensively. How was this a forgone conclusion . The fact that even lebron saw it as a forgone conclusion shows he’s not the goat

@@Nostalgia9478 not gonna lie , I do hate on lebron as a basketball player. The way he try’s to control the narrative. He is the drake of the nba. When he was in the east, the sixers were tanking , giannis was a rookie, the Celtics were rebuilding. As soon as those teams were up , he dipped . Lebron has never won without a super team and the odds stacked in his favor, the nba blessed him when he came back 3-1 and kyrie had to close it for him, and the bubble is the sorriest championship ever.

I think it's mostly because KD ultimately made the decision. KD had other suitors. Boston, San Antonio, New York, Washington, etc. Hell, worse case scenario you even run it back in OKC but KD chose the 1 team that would damage his legacy the most. No one would've been highly upset with him leaving OKC besides OKC fans but the fact that he left for the team that he and his team BLEW A 3-1 LEAD TO is undoubtedly weak. I don't blame Steph or the rest of the Warriors for the recruiting pitch to KD in general because other teams would have too but I do acknowledge the potential unfair advantage they had in recruiting KD by seeing him in the Hamptons immediately after the Championship Loss.

@@DenniDownBad Exactly. This is why a comparison to LeBron joining Miami isn't the same. LeBron didn't join the Celtics after he lost to them in 2010. He instead joined a franchise that could get him the tools to beat the Celtics and get over the hump and back to the Finals, which the Heat did in both 2011 and 2012. Plus, the Heat weren't a superteam until LeBron went there to team up with Wade and Bosh.

True but KD's move was worst because he joined the team that beat him and Golden State was a stacked team already, Lebron going to Miami was the 2nd weakest move to me after Durant's, the Heat still had competition in the finals, no team stood a chance against Golden State with KD in the finals unless an injury happened in which it did

@@Milehigh_ Any player who joins a super team should be looked at in the same way. I like KD so I can see your point of view. The Heats and Warrior losses doesn’t really matter. It’s about not having a super team. With 2 player and decent team like the Nuggets for example. The Nuggets aren’t a superteam yet they win like a superteam. That’s how I feel at least.

This topic is so old now

It tarnished his legacy but leaving and never making it back to the finals with the nets and suns has tarnished his legacy even more. At this point he should have stayed with the warriors and dealt with Draymonds trash talk.

Shannon really loves the new edition example on such topics.

I always love the New Edition analogy 😂white viewers confused.

The mistake was him leaving GSW. Him going there was best for his game and how he plays, so never knocked him for that move. But it’s been a struggle ever since he left.

Shannon loves that New Edition reference

The fact that this conversation keeps happening says everything. If it didn’t matter nobody would talk about it, call his rings free, say he needs to win elsewhere, etc.

Big Perk loving Unc analogies 😂

It took less than 10’ seconds for SAS to lie.

KD's legacy as per Chuck " A BUS RIDER "

Whether it was a mistake or not is purely subjective, but one thing is for sure: those two rings don’t elevate his rank as a player in the all-time greatest players rankings.

this is like domnique wilkins joining the bad boy pistons in the late 80s...

They know it will get attention because LeBron fans,curry fans and KD haters will enjoy this

KD should’ve stayed in Golden State and when he left should’ve went to the Knicks instead of Brooklyn.

Should have know someone was going to mention LeBron

And now they both need each other

That warriors team was nasty on 2k

Does it really matter from back in the day superstars have play together and some have won multiple titles

Now they saying Kevin Durant should have stayed on the Warriors. The Whole World wanted KD to leave the warriors.

I’m just glad that there talking more about this weak move and how it affects his legacy

He should have been better and won more. Its hard ranking my own list to separate KD from Kawhi. Same amount of chips, same finals mvps, 1 mvp for KD, 2 DPOY for Kawhi, one is an elite scorer of all time, one is an elite defender of all time. Both lead teams and/or stood out on good teams to win finals mvp. Both should have had more success for whatever reason.

KD quitting on his team and fans in OKC after choking away a 3-1 series lead against the Warriors and then actually going to join them is the weakest move in the history of not only the NBA but pro sports. I would challenge anybody to find an all time great in any sport who did something like this. It destroyed his legacy and he will always be remembered for doing this rather than how great of a scorer he was. Those championships were meaningless. The Warriors would have won both of them without him.

No they wouldn't have won, if that's the case the warriors wouldn't have blown the 3-1 lead without him if they didn't need him

Get perk a new mic im tired of hearing his mouth noises

Draymond Green: we were winning before you got here.

Kylie wasn’t young neither was Love when they won in Cleveland The warriors first ring against Bron they were young but people use the Kyrie excuse so basically this a losing argument for Steph because y’all act like Bron won without stars he always had another HOF beside him during every ring he won

He went to a 73-9 team that was just in the finals… That hurt his legacy for sure. Those rings don’t really count.

Spot on analogy here by Shannon..Johhny Gill over everyone else in the group vocally..

Perk is so wrong. Bron didn't go to Cleveland to win it on his own, he made sure he got surrounded by competent players to win. When Bron came back Kyrie was already rocking, so he got Love and a few other players and even then he didn't make the winning shot, it was Kyrie. So Bron should be thankful to Kyrie for that title.

I never thought KG was the Jonny gill of basket ball. Thanks unc😂

How did this clip start out talking about Kevin Durant and somehow winds up talking about Lebron?

People talk but what would you do if Golden State wanted you to play with them? Would you have joined or stayed on OKC?

When has Lebron ever got it done by himself? In Miami? In Cleveland? In LA? Perks argument makes no sense.

Hes getting traded or going to ask for trade watch its in hes nature to leave ...
