Kd had 43 points on 68% shooting. That right there is some dnagerous stuff. For him to be 6"11 with handles like that and can shoot from anywhere is just unreal
Kd had 43 points on 68% shooting and most of them were contested jumpers and 30 feet threes. That's some MJ shit right there!
KD > Lebron
So put KD on CAVS and Lebron on GS and see if they even make the finals...
Shane Persad What does your statement have to do with anything?
Shane Persad Lebron made his bed, now he has to sleep in the mess that he created. You don't pawn it off to someone else for your hypothetical make-believe statements.
BeingWokeTV MJ wasn't a great 3 point shooter lol he couldn't make those shots kd was hitting
Let’s not let this distract us from the fact that Max said it was gonna be raptors vs rockets in the finals 💀
Rockets should have won it tho
Vermaestro that was a cute excuse..No way they would have won it..
If you actually think the rockets would've won you're clueless lmao. Iguadola was Injured games 4&5 and the rockets barely won. Iggy healthy and warriors would've closed that series in 5 or 6.
David Wolf lol
Literally a week ago all people talk about is KD choked now he’s a god after one game. The media and the public just can’t make up their minds about this guy. What a bunch of sheep 😂
Their narrative is gonna change every game I'm over the media and these sports shows... If Steph has a monster game 4 he's in the finals mvp talk once again
That's last 3 he made sucked the soul out of the crowd.
Theythoughthehad A. Gun 😂😂😂😂
68% shooting and not on layups... let that sink in.
Casual fans don't understand that KD's teammates having an off night is not the same as LeBron's teammates having one.. They're still by far more valuable by just being on the court.
Remarkable SeiF exactly
Finally someway said it. Just cause curry and Klay had an off night doesnt mean you can leave them. You still have to be right on them and cant provide help off of them
LeBron was running away from KD last night, the way he was switching on every screen was funny
THE KiNG it was funny to see Lebron walking away from Durant...I never saw Jordan walk away from a player 😆🤟
Morgan K. You saw Jordan get stripped by Kenny Anderson? Then bricked the shot!
Morgan K.
You right cause pippen guarded the other team best player
Honcho Bigalow jordan played 48 mins plenty times an was playin all 82 games
Rewatch game 1, FOH
I give Lebron zero sympathy, he built that team, don't act like you have no help. He's responsible for basically everything that has happened... from Kyrie leaving to Thompsons terrible contract, trading for Love, picking up Rose and Wade then trading both of them..
Everyone says that. Has it been confirmed? I never heard lebron say that or GM
It's common fuckin sense..
Oh please!
Joaquin, really!
Bonita Noggan I think he's being sarcastic
KD was literally on Mario star mode
which is what lebron does every night. im not a fan of lebron but this conversation is ridiculous
Kevin Durant has the best dribble gather into a shot I've ever seen other than My boy Kobe, it's unguardable
Eazy Mac Steph
Prolly better than Kobe's father because he covers so much ground
Eazy Mac u forget about a.i
Too bad he joined the warriors that were already a championship team, no respect for that. I think I can play like that if I played with the warriors. No mental stress, less physical stress. KD got it to easy. He needs to prove it on another team.
Humble Douglas you think you can score 43 10 and 7? That’s pretty damn Arrogant considering curry and klay combined for 21, also you’re a no one comparing yourself to KD, just stop. Another thing, every final game he’s had amazing stats. He has proven he can ball every time.
The efficiency of KD is scary, he scored a lot with less shots and less minutes. The timing of his shots too were exceptional, it feels like everytime he got a FG its a dagger. #HumanMomentumBuster
#JVG
That’s the thing. If Steph fails. KD delivers. If KD fails . Klay Delivers. Etc. they have 3-4 superstars in rotation. If Lebron Fails. It’s over.
If LeBron puts up 30 they lose... virtually any game
Your comment sounds nice in theory, but Love gave them 20/13. Hood gave em 15, jr gave em 13, etc..If you remove bron and KD, the cavaliers outscored the warriors. It was even this time. Iguodala literally injured himself again and had to leave the game. Did lebron ever take initiaitve and close it? Did he ever say "THATS IT, WE WIN THIS GAME" Like KD did? No, he went passive AGAIN, throwing it to tristan thompson with 1.30 left in the 4th.
Not 3 or 4. Just 3. Don’t count draymonds donkey ass
Young Wisdom He had 2 super teams but only got 3 rings out of it.
Young Wisdom I DIDN'T HEAR LEBRON FANS SAYING IT WAS UNFAIR WHEN HE HAD WADE,BOSH AND RAY ALLEN
MAX still finds a way to take away from Any goldenstate Dominance.. He said if steph aint back by gm3 Pelicans would beat them than he said Houston would Beat them in 7 now hes trying to diminish anything they do.. what a CLown
2017: If Lebron beat this GSW team, he'll be the Goat.
2017 after G3: If Lebron can push this to a 7 game series, he'll be the Goat.
2018: If Lebron beat this GSW team, he'll be the Goat.
2018 after G1: If Lebron can push this to a 6 game series, he'll be the Goat.
2018 after G3: If Lebron can win ONE game, he'll be the Goat.
2019: Lebron never had a super team.
-
Bronsexuals be playing with our mind without us knowing it.
They actually got u thinking that Lebron never had help before & it's okay to get swept.
Death MY NIGGA OMG THAT SHIT GOT ME DEAD 😹😹😹😹
What everybody actually said was he would be the undisputed goat, but anyone who thought he was the goat before still thinks he is the goat just not undisputed
😂😂😂😂
Death LMAO!!! 😰😰😰
He had Kyrie who was dropping 40+ a night in the Finals and Dray was suspended
kd dropped 30 on bron head in 2012 too don't forget. kd plays classic basketball. bron just wants meaningless stats so yall cam go to box score after the game you didn't watch is over cause yall were busy on fortnite
B49ify #FACTS, you know yo basketball. Hold dis W
B49ify It's funny you say he play for stats can you tell me what happen game 7 against Boston ? Did he show up and win or statpad?
B49ify so damn true. Max is just a stats nerd in which knows nothing about the actual game.
B49ify the king dropped 51 on snake mouth dont forget that,,, loser,, 43 points thats shit for the king , LeGoat does that EVERY DAY
andres moreno what's a "king" to a snake..... A DEAD ONE.... The king is about to be 6 ft under in brooms
Bronsexuals: “Lebron has made 8 straight Finals. He’s the GOAT!”
“But he’s lost 6 Finals”
Bronsexuals: “He’s going up against the greatest teams of all time! Competition matters!”
“Isn’t he playing trash teams in the Leastern Conference every year to make the Finals?”
*Bronsexuals.exe has stopped working*
Frostshokula This is brilliant! lol so funny live it
well i am an MJ Fan but even MJ stand no chance against GSW specially. imagine lebron at golden state and KD at Cleveland... then wouldn't even be in playoff :D . Stop hating it makes you looks weak
texophile well you can’t say that because MJ actually plays DEFENSE. And is more versatile on the court unlike James. Who doesn’t move
Without the ball, play in the post, set picks for his teammates. Maybe MJ don’t win, he damn sure not getting swept lol.
Hey listen MJ is my man but even he got swept twice. I just hate when people can't appreciate also the beast the LB is. we all know that MJ is the ambassador of basket but stop hating on LB. that is just weak
texophile sweep twice when...are you talking about in his early days in the PLAYOFFS...lol you don’t win championships in the PLAYOFFS. You win in the FINALS. And when mike started winning he kept winning unlike me lebron...no games 7 no getting swept in the finals. Lol
Now you believe Jordan when he said that Durant is better than James, it was 6 years ago when mj said that.
KD on offensive end is like kobe on super soldier serum. Same mid range game, same killer instinct, same tenacity, not afraid of failing. He's not shying away from going head to head with the opponents best player.
Never seen such many excuses to validate one’s greatness.
What guys like Max fail to realize is competition. LeBron is great no doubt, but he went against opponents that were way more inferior to Golden State. A legitimate case could be made that the Pelicans were better than any team LeBron has faced in the East, nevermind the Rockets. LeBron has gotten monster stats and he for sure carried his team but they were against inferior opponents. The Celtics alone were missing their TWO best players.
This is absolutely ridiculous. Because Lebron beats them you consider them worse. Most obvious case of motivated reasoning I've ever seen. Pelicans were the 8th seed. The Cavs beat both the Celtics and the Raptors. Even without Kyrie and Hayward, both those teams were better than the pelicans (they had better records, in case you can't read numbers).
First of all the pelicans were NOT the 8th seed. Second of all, they had better records because eastern conference teams play other eastern conference garbage more often, therefore their regular season records are inflated. Thirdly, the celtics got the record off the back of their super star PG who didn't play at all in the playoffs. The raptors were barely .500 against .500 teams all season long, and their strong suit is their bench which is irrelevant when your playing 8 guys in the playoffs.
TheTinyTimmyTimTim how is it that you say the east is worse when you already know that the west is only the Warriors and Rockets but you never know with the east.
Thats a horrible argument. Take 2016 for example. Real contenders if everyone's healthy were san antonio, OKC, Golden state, the clippers, and houston. Those were all title contenders and they were all in the west. Any one of those teams makes the finals, they are the favorite against ANY team in the east (unless its houston vs cavaliers). fast forward to this year. The only team that even has a slight chance at winning the finals against any of the western conference powerhouses (I'll throw the pels in there if boogie was healthy), is lebrons cavaliers and MAYBE kyrie's celtics if hayward gels with the team. Thats it. Every other team in the east shouldn't even be allowed to watch the finals.
The seedings in the west from 3-8 were seperated by a game or 2. The west is so tough, paul geroge and the regining mvp didn't even clinch the playoffs until a week before the regular season ended. Dont even try to make this argument.
Brian Cheng lebron has posted monster stats on the warriors too. Dont act like its new look up his finals stats he has had quute a few 40+ point games againstthe warriors.
It’s weird I’m loving and hating these finals at the same time. Sure seeing the Warriors win again isn’t that exciting but at least some of the games are close
I want the games close but I want golden state to win
They play down to the competition!
TheIGGod Down to the competition??? The Cavs have made four straight Finals!
Maybe the rest of the NBA needs to step up, because apparently the Warriors HAVE NO COMPETITION.
houston was there only real competition this year everybody else has gotten smoked
Yeah, lebron put up the highest no in an NBA finals and still lost, steph and klay had the worst shooting by an MVP in the history of basketball and still won. These moments are fun not the games though
KD is a 7'0 SF that can handle the ball like a point guard with limitless range. Outside of Kareem and Jordan, he'll probably go down as one of the most unstoppable scorers of all time.
Mark Darnell imo the best of all time bc of his range and height. One of the only 50/40/90 guys.
Uhh u must forgot about da dude who put up 81 ?
Uh, did you forget how inefficient Mr. 81 was? I know Kobe was a great scorer but he impersonated MJ, and nobody could stop him, Kareem had an unblockable shot.
Now that facts even though I don’t like him but they can’t consider him best player on planet
Kd is a better scorer than Kobe. Kevin Durant is longer and more efficient than Kobe and is a better long range shooter. No disrespect to Kobe
Don’t let this distract you from the fact the the Cavs has the opportunity to draft Klay Thompson and Draymond Green...
Max will not let that 73 win season go! He’ll be talking about that 20 years from now as if it was yesterday
It’s funny how the Cav favs are cheering, when that man Lebron James is going Ghost on all y’all after Friday. Cheer when he’s going to score 45 on y’all 2019. Also max talk about how weak the Cavs are. This is the NBA finals!!! that’s your eastern conference champions. It’s not the golden state fault the east is weak. At lease Houston put up a fight. How about the east get better.
Supple 8 Fitness how about Durant doesn’t make everything lopsided by joining a 73-9 team
Bill I Did Not Bang That Woman Clinton hahahahaha KD just beat Lebron to the deal lol
7ft move like SF
shoot like elite sg
Underrated Crossovers
ain't no stopping him it's just Kd the ball and the rim ..
Terry Jfk you just nailed it perfectly
Take my W brother
4 reasons why HARDEN,CP3 and Lebron will NEVER get another RING 1. Durant 2. Curry 3. Klay 4. Draymond #dropsmic #getwoke
hahaha! sub to me ill sub back
Except if lebron goes Houston or San Antonio
We'll see about that...
MJ is the best player on the planet until God calls him home... those who understand basketball and what MJ did for the game will agree.
Joshua Black
You mean Magic Johnson dont you LOL
Amen brother!
well i haven't seen jordan in playoff without pippen :D ... and lebron is in finals...with who? lol
I agree.. I think God Just gave Jordan his blessings on basketball
@Bob RossHere is 90's era defense exposed ua-cam.com/video/zONvMKkIpwA/v-deo.html
Kevin Durant is the Terminator who destroys in The Finals
KD couldnt even get to the finals before joining the warriors ... fuck outta here
Javian Johnson on a 73 win team
Aysar Aburrub went to the finals with OKC smh Lebron fans are dumbasses
Uh, he has only destroyed the competitive balance of the NBA.
AkayGOins1 Yeah made it to the finals and Lebron beat his ass
What’s more important ? Being best player in this planet , or wining a dam ring ?
I’d rather be the best because that means that no individual is better than me. Anyone can win a ring not everyone can be the best
How can you be the best if you can't/struggle winning a ring?
Greatest Ever hmm, I wonder
He already has rings dumbass 😂
Joshua V - KD is much happier with his ring than stats
Tell me something if this is LeBron's era how does dirk, kawhi, curry, KD all have rings against lebron
The way he walked away from that 3 with no emotion in the biggest moment will be an iconic NBA image. Especially with Draymond and Steph jumping up and down showing all the emotion.
No help 🤔 who scored the other 69 points? Cavs starters out scored warriors starters it was literally between Lebron and kd
Blay Blhompson but lebron is alone
Blay Blhompson Warriors double figure players outscored Cavalier players by the the score of 51 to 48.Plus you have Iggy with 8 also Livingston.So they still played a better team basketball game.
Blay Blhompson thank you
Damian Presha 3 other Cavs players outscored every warrior outside of KD
His team did kinda show up last night, Bron should've defended KD to slow him down.
I’m starting to look at Lebron differently, willing to take over against weaker teams in the last two mins but when he playing elite teams he become extremely passive in the last 2 mins
Lil Dagga so 13 points in the 4th quarter against the warriors isn't defined as taking over huh?
Lil Dagga Go back to Game 1 alone dude...
leCHOKE
Dk B so passing the ball when Steph Curry is guarding you in clutch time is considered taking over? Stop it man. I’m not even a warriors fan but damn he choked it
@@jaaymurray3608 you sound so dumb 3 years later….
Kd was so good, he made me feel bad for Lefraud James
Lebron’s system is inferior, turning everybody else into spot up shooters, that’s how he pads his stats
HS Xu and he wont play defense. And his teammates gets the blame when they lose.
well his system bring average players to Nba Finals...stop bullshitting
He is also turning superstar caliber players into average players.
@@yawtsa8743 dude stop hating lol.. bosh or wade or kyrie didn't turn average.. you turn average by your own performance. we will see how Cleveland will manage without the goat :)
@Colonel Gibbs chris bosh.
KD a cheat code
He like Larry bird, he's not like Kobe or MJ. He shoots way better than Kobe ever did. You couldn't shut down Bird. But Kwai is the only person that can guard KD.
Dave Louie kd fucking killed Kawhi in the 2016 playoffs, stop.
Robertplayz when did he say better than Kobe? He said shoots better than Kobe
Back in the day i made a 7 foot guard in 2k12 maxed most stats and he still was not on KD level
Dave Louie but he has health where Bird was broken. Way better handles too but not the vision and killer instinct
Sorry but these fans won't be clapping for LeBron when he leaves, they'll be burning his jersey again when he comes to L.A lol
Why would they burn his jersey?
Eazy Mac facts dude
24Jabba sarcasm bro, they're literally going to have make a statue for him immediately this off-season, now I'm not being sarcastic
Eazy Mac why would he go to la theres no all stars there and IT is there
Because they did it last time he left and the owner wrote a very disrespectful letter about him leaving. His job is done here. Off to chase another ring with better talent, again.
SAS called out max with the FACTS. Max must be on that henny with Jr smith. been wrong in all his predictions
SAS is the king of subjective not objective analysis...
Max was pulling all the facts out what you talking about ?
zero you got me with you profile pic... I thought that was a piece of hair on my screen lol... I tried to blow that ish off
Max just be talking. Lebron can do no wrong in his eyes. They need to let him go
Adam Maclada no, he actually pulled out facts ...
Max, it doesn't matter what u say as long as KD is the champion in this planet is all it matters.
@Colonel Gibbs You're right. I made that comment 2 yrs ago when Kawhi was out with his quad. He definitely shuts down LBJ, though. Too bad we couldn't see him shut down KD last year because KD hurt his Achilles.
@@miltoncardoza just stop lebron and kd cooks him everytime
The most cold-blooded shot I've ever seen
Randeep Banwait you 10?
you must be a child, kyrie and ray allen hit more cold blooded shots
Bron's game winner off the glass against Toronto was way more sinister. Not even close KD shot a 3 whole having a lead at that moment.
kcsclcjc lol a 2nd round shot against the baby dinosaurs is more impressive than a finals shot?
That 3-pt dagger that KD had last year was better. Anyone who watched that series knows which one.
Stephen a better say
HE CAN PULL UP FROM THIRTYYYYYYYY.
KD played like the best player last night. Literally killed anyone in his way, hard to guard a 6’11 player that can pull up over you.
But but I thought lebron can guard all 5 positions
"not to take anything from KD" proceeds to try his best too haha
"He has shown out in the Finals over the last 2 years"
Correction. . . . He has shown out in the Finals all 3 times he's been there.
Mark James but kd has a luxury LeBron does not kd can get rest if he has a bad game his team will still win
Ryan. And Lebron had a luxury the first time they met up in the Finals in 2012. So what. Doesn't take away from the individual performance.
Ryan Reyes lebron built that team, so kill excuses are getting played out
Mark James they had harden and Westbrook lol
In 3 Finals appearances, he's averaging 33 ppg. He's shown up. Period.
KD showing Westbrook what he missing out on in OKC go KD do YOU 💯
Funny lebron has more help then kd last night. Save the excuses.
Brandon Smith right all excuses
Brandon Smith Warriors still is the better team and last night proved it. When you have curry and Thompson's struggling and you still lose.
Last night all or almost all of the important parts pf the Cavs came to play. When the game was up 1 pt or even when it was up 3 pts before the shot by Durant, Lebron was not defending KD. If I am the best player in the world in the last minutes pf gametime I am defending the guy who is carrying the other team
William Muniz They gameplan was to switch everything (which is terrible btw). If LeBron was guarding KD, and Kd hit that shot y'all would've said "LeBron an overrated defender" "He can't defend nobody". It's a lose lose situation
Yeah cuz lebron man kd was cooking they ass that’s why
Lmao at my brother in the front row. Only golden state fan in the room. 👏 RESPECT
Putting KD on that Cavaliers team, his numbers will be up also. LeBron has no choice but to put up 51.
Isaiah Scruggs the warriors fan based is quite cancerous they started watching since 2016 u switch kd in the cavs it's the same thing as lebron but could be worse lol lebron an all around player kd just love shooting and if klay and curry does bad u have iggy livingston , nick young , kd , west and other who can easy score 20 if u swap lebron and kd same scenes lebron get his ring
Dj axrus101 if you put kd in lbj position then all of them are just in their ass watchin.
christian bautista KD can pass and he just grabbed 15 rebounds. He also was a two time scoring champ with LeBron in the league. Plus he played at Rucker Park. I know LeBron is a great player but...
Dj axrus101 did you watch the clip when kerr is talking to durant?KDs pride is bigger than him,he show up when other allstars doesnt!did you saw how bad this cavs roster when they are adjusting,!You put anyone to replace lebron this season?they cant even reach playoffs.
You are wrong man, Lebron doesn't fit with the warriors, he would mess up their chemistry and system.
Screaming a smith said after game 1 that durant didnt want no parts of lebron in game 1. But i saw last night lebron didnt want no parts of kevin durant last night. Facts
Ant live facts bro Bron always shy from guarding KD he don't won't the world to see the embarrassment KD would do to him period. KD better.
Ahahahahahaa best nickname
Ali Muhammad facts
Dexter Mclovin facts
That to me was a fair competition if you look at it like this, kd had no big help while LeBron had love and hood to help him yet lebron ended on the losing end.
When KD hit that dagger 3 pointer his look said..."I'm the captain now "
yeah he is the best player in the world but Bron needs a lot of help. Help help help help. This is getting old.
lebron had more help than kd did last night
exactly
your narrative is old. THIS IS A TEAM SPORT. WAKE THE FUCK UP
TheTinyTimmyTimTim all eastern conference playoffs teams had a .500 or better record vs Western Conference teams... Raps were 19-11, Boston was 22-8 and Philly was 18-12... Cavs were actually 15-15 vs the West... And LBJ beat all of those teams that beat up on the west opponents to get to the final... So stop saying east is weaker than West... Numbers speak for itself lol and I know you don't believe me so here is the link... : www.espn.com.au/nba/standings/_/view/vs-division
Eric Martinez lol so u can win with these cavs against the warriors i mean this dude need help fasho. This team wow. And gAme 1 was a first of its kind for sure.
Brooms are out. I told y’all this will be a short series
Right like u knew something we all didn't know
Funny part is cavs should have been up 2-1 vs this stacked team LOL
Loose no cavs should be down 2-1 the refs had nothing to do with game two
Benjamin Amegbey everybody knew that
Ur the Duke
Stacked the team on purpose? They used their draft picks wisely and KD was a free agent that picked a team that he wanted to go to that plays a good brand of basketball.
It's always better to be an ABSOLUTE EXPERT in one thing than be great at several things. A jack of all trades, but an expert at none of them. Being an expert is more valuable.
Agasi_K23 Uhhh not really would you rather have KD or Kyle Korver? That’s what I thought
SportsDomination what?
SportsDomination Let me clarify, this applies only when you're comparing players of the same level. Obviously I'm not taking Korver over KD.
Max annoys me too much that I had to pause the video and just read the comments instead.
Stop saying he's a top 3 player, he's obviously the second best player. Even when Kawhi is 100%
It’s not the points and stats but it’s the fact KD was great in last minutes. All points are not equal.
Max you cannot diminish what KD did. He had a game for the ages. Facts.
I love how Max contradicts himself with the first few sentences he said. Lol
He's gotta pick it up when the Splash Brothers transform into the Trash Brothers
Veridian Salty ass. lol
Veridian key wrd when lebron doesn't have a splash brothers to back him up or give him a break kd been coasting the whole playoffs
Veridian 3-6
Veridian Splash Brothers 3-1
Lebust 3-6
You hater go play with yourself
The Slim Reaper owns Cleveland
Lastly so when KD was on OKC winning every scoring title, his numbers were crazy. When LeBron went to a Miami team that won 66-16 on the season he wasn't posting those numbers so....he does it when he has to.
The best player who doesn't come through when the moment matters, is simply...NOT THE BEST!
I'm not even a Laker fan but don't forget about Kobe B Bryant all of people acting like he never existed or he never played he was the next best thing to Jordan if you're going to talk about greatness let's talk about Kobe then LeBron
Ya boy Daking I like Kobe better than Lebron as a player personally, but let’s be real. Lebron is better. Kobe wasn’t even the main cog on the 3-peat Laker team. Shaq overshadowed him.
Ya boy Daking Kobe is trash not even the best player on his own team
Vikings426 boy get ya face out the glue bag! How many rings did Kobe win after Shaq? And who was better on those teams than Kobe?....... I'll wait!
Vikings426 Kobe damn sure isn’t trash, but no one that was second fiddle on a team winning team should ever be in the convo for GOAT. Just doesn’t make sense.
Kohene Moore Phil Jackson is the MVP not Kobe!
Did Max say LeBron is TWICE as good as KD?? Lol...such a Lebron rider he's talking crazy...
he’s right
Jon Swavyy there has never been a player who is twice the player kd is nevermind a man who was afraid to guard kd last game
KD is playing on the best team of all time without him ... this is all garbage
Dylan Trost it shows how much the warriors needed him on their team
All those Cavs fans nodding their head and agreeing with Max over the last 20 seconds are basically admitting that LeBron should leave their team this offseason lmao.
I guess Max didn't see Bird, Magic and Kareem play.
Kevin Durant do everything he want in that game.. those players in Cavaliers seem Lost
“KD had no help” he only has more help than any other superstar in history😂
Max gave KD no credit because he was salty about him owning LeBron, those Cavs fans were cheering while being down 0-3 😂😂
Max are you serious? give KD credit man, damn.
"The greatest player in the World" getting outplayed when it matters most.
IF LeBron ever matched up with Durant he was yelling" SWITCH" even before a screen was coming.
That bothers me to see a superstar shy away from taking the defensive challenge of guarding the other teams star player...
You think JR Smith and George Hill are gonna stop Durant.
Ty Lue...I'm coming for your job!!
Because Lebron has never been a "go at you" player. On either side. He always wants bailed out. On both sides of the ball.
KD is unbelievable as a player and from what I have heard an even better person.
Since KD according to max, played a regular LeBron game, then LeBron shouve just beat him yesterday especially since KD got no help. Max ur trippin.
Rolando Wright can you please use your brain? Steph and Klay did not play as they usually do, but the warriors STILL had 5 players other than KD in double digits. Compare that to the cavs, who only had 3 other players in double digits, and who for most of the playoffs struggled to get even 1 other player in double digits. KD had help, he just didn’t get superstar performances from his teammates.
Isaac out of those 5 players who were in double digits none of them scored over 11 Love scores 23 so he scored as much as 2 of those double digit scorers on the warriors of KD didn’t score 43 points they would’ve lost
Dajon Linear and if Lebron hadn’t scored what he did it wouldn’t have been close
Isaac don't forget LeBron had the refs help too and had the homecourt advantage
D Rickman yeah the refs definitely helped when the cavs had 0 free throws at halftime and the warriors had 13. Gtfoh
Maxx making his point with the stats was genius and mind-boggling. Shows how great of a player Bron is. Take him out of the team and just imagine what you got left.
Honestly cavs fans need to understand if lebron leaves this time.. they should want him to go after kd cause what kd doing right now just isnt fair and its obvious the help he can get wont be in cleveland.
YoUnG R3nZell dude wtf shut up
PELICANS
1. Lebron
2. Kd
3. Harden
4. Curry
5. Kawhi
6. Westbrook
7. Anthony Davis
8. Boogie
9. CP3
10. Klay
Wrong
max is not giving KD any credit. -___- FOH
LeBum James lol max is deadass bias to cleveland
Because KD deserves no credit HE JOINED A 73 win team, aslong as KD is in the warriors no1 except those cancer warriors fanbase will give him credit.
Why would he give him credit ? Hes a snake who doesnt want competition and wants all the credit without any of the work ... If KD wasnt in that team the would still win the championship!!
Credit for having star distractions lol jordan bell and mcgee are wide open all the time like kevin durant has it easy my man
LeBum James max and j Williams are both annoying
It’s annoying u guys keep skipping over Kobe for comparison. Kobe beat dynasties to win the chip....DYNASTIES

Kobe violently raped a woman a few years ago. The NBA will never allow him to be the face of the NBA.
The Warrior he did not violently raped a woman lol. The case was dropped, they Found 3 different things of semen in her panties and none was Kobe’s. But yeah he was the face of the nba till that case
The Warrior dafaq are you talking about? Kobe was the face of the nba for many years. Smh
The Warrior
Let me guess, do you use “The Onion” as your source of news?
GNB your comment doesnt make any sense here nor does it even have anything to do with the initial comment of the original poster...
Love my CAVS. It was a fun ride the past four years. Thanks Lebron
TV sports reporters: wrongly predict the outcome before the game, heap praise on whoever wins and plays well after.
If KD was in the cavaliers he's put up huge numbers too. He plays team ball, and sacrifices stats. LeBron is a glorified stat padder
Ancient Chi LeBron has no choice.. He isn't on a 73 win team .. I know a 🐍 who is tho ..lmao
Would durant be in the finals nooo dummy
KD sonned the Cavs🔥🔥🔥🔥🏳💯
LBJ sonned the Dubs on Game 1 tho lol
Bron son GS but lost?? You bron fans are crazy lol
Axum ገብረመድሂን Lmao, hell yeah he did! That snarl on his face after that last 3 was like, "this is MY house son!"
Kd is humble I like that
Actually, KD acts like he's humble but if you follow him closely in subtle reports about him or his comments, he is arrogant and cocky. If only we could ask Russel Westbrook.
Xyoob Yaj I agree. It is all an act lol
Lebron is by far the most humble.
Not humble at all lol
Moe Sizzlack you don’t know that let’s just be grateful for his greatness
LeBron James’ 51 point game was far more impressive than Durant’s outstanding 43 point game... Cleveland still lost that game though... what’s that tell you?!? The warriors are just stacked
I thought the Cavs were going to turn on “the switch”
Max's job is obviously to cater to the KD and GSW haters. His tweet is beyond stupid, the best player Lebron played before the finals is Oladipo lol. So good for him getting those numbers against 0 superstars.
califilipino list Durant, Curry, and Thompson stats this post season.
People forgets that lebron went against the raptors with 2 stars, a great starting five, a great coach (maybe the coach of the year) 1st seed in the east and lebron managed to sweep them
Not a lebron fan ir warriors fan
I just give credit when credit is due
califilipino exactly
califilipino so demar derozen and Kyle Lowry aren't superstars?
I follow boxing, and Max Kellerman is a boxing expert, one of the most knowledgeable in the world. He was clearly picked for this show not for his deep basketball knowledge or even understanding, but his intelligence, general knowledge of all sports and ability to give an opposite viewpoint so ESPN can get your clicks with a clickbait title about "STEPHEN A. LOSES IT AFTER MAX SAYS [insert controversial topic here]". His job is to be the Ying to Stephen A.s Yang, little more. This channel is not where you get intelligent basketball discussion
KD has already surpassed LeChoke James last year in the Finals.. This year is just to remind you Lavs fans
Does not have a 7 game win series against the Warriors on his resume
Haters gonna say he's a cupcake, Well that "cupcake" can devour you in the court in a second
So what's the point of being the greatest player on earth if you don't win in the finals..? LoL
I thought Max was smarter than this. You put KD on that sorry Cavs team and he’d put up similar scoring numbers if not more. KD can’t score that many 40+ on the Warriors because he’s sharing the ball with 3 other all-stars. Max a KD hater for sure!
YoogiNation is that what he did when he blew that 3-1 lead to the warriors before he joined them? Lmao he had a horrible series with no help and it made him team up with a 73 win team
Crusty Children here another lebron fanboy with that stupid lead shit. Ignoring the fact that Everytime KD guards lebron he shuts lebron down. Ignoring the fact. Ignoring the fact that steph beat them before they got KD. Y’all some stupid ass fans I swear lmao
Brick2121 kd choked that series end of story , LeBron lost to the warriors with a team just as bad as team now. Kd will never be better than LeBron lmao kd just had a 40 point game in the finals... It's not even a surprise when LeBron drops 40 anymore
Brick2121 stay on the bandwagon kid
Hmm, so since LeBron has picked his teammates since Cleveland the first time could it be he is picking people to keep his stats up. He can't beat mj in rings so he not much different then Westbrook.
as soon as max starts bs, i am out
Where's the bs though? KD has ONE GAME like last night and now he's the best? As opposed to LeBron who's had several games like that this postseason alone?
S & M fuck maxs
S & M worddd
Those numbers Max pointed out, KD can average that if he had his own team. And Lebron does have some help in Kevin Love who is an all-star and decent role players in George Hill, Rodney Hood, and J.R. Smith.
Stats don’t matter if you can’t get the ring.
Chupa Cabras but he’s got the rings. 3 of them and it won’t be the last
That's what KD said, so he choked that 3-1 lead to warriors and joined them.
Chupa Cabras idiot
Hector Rayray moron
Who ever hired Max Kellerman needs to be fired asap.
Nick Wayne I don’t know man. Colin Coward rides LeBitch so hard.
He speaking facts.
Adam Pennington durcant rider are you right?
No, Nick Wright is the worst
might I add Cavaliers do have the highest payroll in the league should equate to the best players in the league
+Michael Yim well the thing is players on the Warriors have a system and there's actually ball movement and so everybody looks good and it gets everybody involved as opposed to the LeBron system where he holds the ball on every possession and there's no ball movement just threading needle for LeBron to get assist
Until KD brings a title to OKC he can make me a believer.
