First Things First: Cris Carter and Nick Wright Not really because because Kevin Durant is focused on getting more rings and being a better player than Lebron James. Both of them would rather compete against each other to see who's the best player in the NBA than join forces with each other. Both of them would not want to take the backseat for one another.
TenThumbs Productions its actually the opposite it is irrelevant what happens for 12 months out of the year bc of kds move a couple years ago just saying
I love how whenever a super team is made, the media castrates everyone involved, but then the media goes around and fantasies about new and improved super teams every day.
SUPER SAMMICH the reason why is because of the arrogance of the media. The media thinks Golden State should not have a super team, but LeBron should. The reason for this thinking is they have invested a lot of time, money, and effort in the LeBron narrative of being the GOAT and the more he loses the more they look like liars. Yeah it is pathetic, they are rooting for LeBron to create his 3rd super team.
Percy Bedford i salute u for getting it. Like they say the one ring in Cleveland is worth more than the 2 he won in Miami but yet they want him to leave and go team up and chase rings somewhere else. Lol
Xbox Fortnite Scrims he’s not defending him. He’s saying if KD Wants to join him and it’s done organically it would be alright....but Nick is totally saying different as in LeBron seeking out and begging KD to join him...
of course he does; he want durant to prove his greatness without joining a loaded team that was already considered one of the best teams in NBA history.
This is just media making things up so they have something to sell, remember it's a long free agency till the chips start falling so they need to sell something. Also the Kawhi talk it's sooooo tiring by now that they need to come with something new. Don't worry KD will resign with GSW.
He plays pretty good on ball defense. Most of the people he guards have to shoot over him to be successful, and if they drive to the whole, you se a lot of forearm pushoffs or bury their chest into him, causing a blocking foul. He is one of the top in Net rating meaning he doesn't give up more points than he scores and he defends better than the average NBA player, which is a good thing for his size and is an offensive scorer.
Randy Bailin set for years? Lol Houston nearly knocked them off 😂 Steph, Klay, Draymond they’re all mentally weak. Next year they’re not coming out the western conference
Why would KD leave. He's having fun winning playing in an unselfish system. Having fun again playing sports like when you were kids and winning (while making tons of money) is something i would take.
Any team lebron goes to is a super team now .lmao you losers couldn't see greatness if your lives depended on it .im done with the debates.. lebrons heat was not a super team nor the Cavs because lebron never ever been on a team were he can take a night off .!!!! Lebron haters are not great people and thsts why youll never see great even if it was im your face .
Cameron Gill Your delusional if you don't think that Miami heat team with three top 15 players wasn't a superteam. Then they added Ray Allen one of the best sg in the league at the time and an all star.
Bryan We remember Curry choking a 3-1 lead in the finals and winning a ring with Kyrie and Love hurt... We also remember him and Draymond crying and hitting the steering wheel in the parking lot calling KD.. 😂😂 Curry is good but once KD leaves Oakland will never win another ring
OG James right? 😂😂 oh well, can't wait for a few days when KD leaves the Warriors the entire script is going to flip on Curry and its going to be hilarious 💯
KD just beat Lebron the last 2 years... I know we live in the superteam era, but if Lebron really texted KD about teaming ip, thats a little disappointing
I agree man! I am what some would call a bronsexual lol but if this is true I will renounce by Lebron James fandom here this very moment. It would be the soooooftest move ever, even softer than KD joining Warriors. Only thing Bron should be thinking about is beating KD. This would tell me he has no heart and no competitor in him. What makes it worse is it looks like hes about to get to team up with Kawhi so what on earth are you doing texting KD? Get Kawhi and run through those boys in Golden State next year and get your revenge. I like Kawhi better than KD and ive been saying that the last 5 years. Anyways if this is verified, I can no longer cheer for this dude.
Derrick Likes NBA KD didnt beat LB 2 times, GSW did!! KD joined a championship team who won 73 games!!!! KD is comfortable riding the curry training, KD showed who he was when he was up 3-1 vs GSW and lost
Nick can find anyway to Help Lebron, why leave to help Lebron Nick will find the smallest fraction to get Lebron the best help find a way to make it ok to ask KD to join up like thats cool Nick is a joke when it come to Lebron.
Darius clark Wait you’re saying basketball is a team sport? AND you need other good players to win?? Wow!! I did not know that. I thought you just went out there with a bunch of bums and magically won a championship. Thanks man!
Dj ShaqTown now you can say that but in Stephs Unanimous MVP season steph was widely regarded as the best or 2nd best player in the league besides Lebron & we all saw what happened when Steph faced kd in the 2016 playoffs, but what do I know
Nick Wright ..Wow man if you have family damm its has to be hard to come home and look at you in house..Smh Damm some jobs just not worth your SOUL!...King of 3-6 MAFIA
They be lying!! Nick is right! At 2 years ago... just about everybody and they mama started saying that Steph Curry was the best player in the world. Rarely talking about Kevin Durant
Debo The Phenom Popularity doesn't mean you are a better player. Nobody has ever said Steph Curry is the best player, *EVER* ! If they did, they are delusional Warriors fans on a high of finally being relevant.
Bruce Smith I don't want to hear that now... because when we were living in the moment.... when Steph curry was the 2x mvp.... people were saying Steph was the best player in the world... I haven't forgotten. Just like the year Durant won MVP.. everyone was convinced he was the best player in the world... it's easy to look back now and say how crazy it was... but in the moment.... Steph Curry was becoming the face of the league and was being recognized as the best in the world
Bruce Smith 2016 Steph was literally the best player in the world, stats proved it record proved it. Award proved it. If they Beat Cleveland it would have be an undoubtable truth that the Steph was the best player in the world THAT year alone.
I don't understand the 'protege' concept. To be a protege you have to be young or at least unknowlegeable of the activity and seek a mentor. Kevin Durant is in his prime with a already refined set of skills that can't be further developed. This title is just offensive to KD.
Hopper830 if the Wizards get out of Ian, Smith and Porters contract that frees up well enough cash. Team cleat cap space all the time, it not difficult.
Anirudh Pai nah. You can see how selfish Lebron was with the ball with the Cavs. KD is much more adaptable with Warriors with the unselfish play. Lebron ruins players’ rhythm by being the primary scorer.
Ruse FBomb you dumb lmao. Kd obviously doesn’t need the ball playing w curry and klay.. Put kd on the Cavs last year and he don’t make the finals. Cmon man.
Everyone is forgetting how good Steph is. Without KD, Curry is still a monster and I'm tired of everyone acting as if KD is just that much better then Curry. When KD went down last season, Curry torched the competition 13 games straight. Everyone also keeps forgetting that adding KD changes the dynamics of the team so just because KD won finals MVP twice doesn't mean that the Warriors would have lost in the finals if he wasn't threre; Curry plays better without KD; they still don't need him so stop the madness.
Stop dreaming Curry knows fully well that KD is on another level. Stop comparing regular season games with playoff games. If Durant was not in gsw, LeBron is gonna eat Steph Curry raw. Kd better defender, more effective percentage wise. The most pure and natural and dynamic scorer. Practically unguardable. I like them both because their games compliments each other. That’s why Steph differs to Kd more during playoffs
Arjun Sajeev Dude Curry came off two back to back injuries in the 2016 playoffs and their were reason why they lost in the Finals; even Steven A admits to that. Y’all keep sleeping on him. His playoff stats are really good.
Nick Wright, I'm telling you that two years ago people definitely thought that KD was the second best player in the world. Steph Curry is amazing, but hasn't been considered #2.
Hey Hayes Lebron averaged more points and was more efficient than kd in the finals smh. You guys are stupid. Lebron did it against the best defense in the postseason. Kevin Durant played good against one of the worst defensive teams in the league. Did you see how kd played against a good defense at times during the rockets series? Lebron did work against every team regardless. Boston was like the 2nd best defensively in the playoffs. Lebron is much better than Durant.
AfroCrew2022 man you can’t compare any of LBJ’s eastern opponents to GSW and their opponents. KD and Curry would of done the same if they played on the Cavs. Boston without their top 2 players made the ecf.
Lebron James can NEVER be in the conversation as the G.O.A.T. ALL, (BUT 1), OF HIS CHAMPIONSHIP APPEARANCES AND ALL 3 WINS HAPPENED WITH 2 OTHER PLAYERS WHO WERE BOTH FAR BETTER THAN THE TWO OTHERS MICHAEL JORDAN PLAYED WITH (PIPPEN & GRANT and PIPPEN AND RODMAN). Michael Jordan was 6 wins no losses and ALL 6 MVPs, and HE NEVER CHOKED IN ANY OF THE FINALS AS LEBRON JAMES DID TWICE. Yes Lebron is still playing at a high level at 33 but in a much softer and easier NBA that plays very little great defense and Lebron was GIVEN his body by GOD. He did not make himself a great athlete- he was born that way. JORDAN made and worked himself into the G.O.A.T. and NO ONE ELSE IS EVEN IN THE SAME STRATOSPHERE AS MICHAEL- NO ONE!!!!
It came out earlier that Lebron was going to "sit down" with the Warriors in free agency. Thinking about the outrage around the world if he did join the Warriors, why is it hard to believe that he texted the Warriors best player? If he joins GS or gets KD to join him, Lebron is basically trying to guarantee he never loses another Finals. Thats his desperation to prove his hype.
I will pick Steph over anybody at anytime I mean the guy is just so unselfish and can adapt to any franchise you put him in. People are so ungreatful that they need to be reminded how Steph had to sacrifice his game to let kd fit in and still stay relevant. Steph doesn't need your recognition to be the best player, he's his own motivator I remember all those saying about Steph around 2009 draft I ain't gonna front I wasn't even a fan at that time but with all that stuff said about him and witnessed what he has accomplished till now if you can't respect that then you're just a hater man. Y'all keep talkin but kd knows how it feels to be playing alongside Steph better than any of Yaw.. Steph doesn't need to be the goat or be the best player in the world he just plays the game In a different way that we have never seen....
I’m confused, If Stephen A admitted that Lebrons people told him this never happened then why in the world did he report it and make this a story. This makes Stephen A look so foolish by trying to make it seem like Lebron went out and begged Durant and Durant told him no
Its because he reported it first, then retracked his statement because someone told him it wasn't true. You have to listen to the full episode to hear it. You can't tell from the clips because they are too short.
Best player in the world means different things to different people, i.e. athleticism vs skills vs production. However, what's not arguable is that Curry's the most effective player in the world. His deep 3-pt shooting is why Golden state has 3 of the last 4 NBA Championships. That style of play established them as the offensive superior to every other team in the league. It also caused Houston to go all in on D'antoni and Chris Paul, and caused former Warrior assistant GM Travis Schlenk to covet Trae Young in his new job as the GM of the Atlanta Hawks. No player this decade has impacted the way the game is played more than Curry.
French # Most Romantic / Beautiful Language Ever Well Since KD joined the Warriors they’re 2-0 in the finals, before him they were 1-1. Bron (and his teams by extension) is 3-6 in the finals. 2 of which were when he wasn’t even the leader of his team in Miami. Stop
Bruce Smith no I said he’s 3-6. The original comment is the one talking that half a ring nonsense. Plus the comment I responded to said KD begged for a ring when in reality Dray, Klay and Steph recruited him, similarly to how D Wade, Bron and Bosh organized their team. What my point is is people need to stop whining about players taking advantage of free agency.
KD'S rings are worth the same amount as LeBron's rings. Lebron ran to Dwayne Wade's team and teamed up with 2 other superstars to get 2 rings. Ran back to Cleveland when he saw the superstars over there and knew he couldn't win anymore in Miami.
Zakiya Warren lol naw bro, Lebron joined a 45 win team and KD joined a 73-9 team. That's a big difference. The Heat actually needed Lebron, while the warriors never needed kd.
Why would any self respected superstar wants to be with Lebron at this stage? He has a great tack record. He went to Miami, yeah he wins 2 there, then left and abandoned Chris Bosh and Wade. Then he gets Kevin Love to help him, then abandon him in Cleveland. He "moves" platers to use them, and then throw them away like trash
Lakers 2018/2019 Lonzo PG KD Lebron King Kong Kawhi Leonard Liangelo Ball Andre Ingram Demarcus Cousins Jesus Christ Isaiah Thomas (lol jk jk) Harambe Kemba Walker Kyle Kuzma
If Kevin Durant left, nothing would change for the Warriors. They would still be the favorite to win the championship. The Lakers would have a team that might just make it to the conference finals, to be beaten by that still stacked Warriors team. Lakers need much more than just 2 superstars. Their bench is not very good. Plus if they get Kawhi this season, they're going to give up way more than they should out of the desperation they're showing right now.
Nick is so desperate to see his guy win another championship that he is willing to say anything. There is absolutely no reason for KD to teammate with LeBron. Stay right where you are and continue to beat LeBron, KD.
i hate how we always remove the smaller guys from the best discussion just kuz theyre small.. if you really think about it, whos the better shooter? steph, easy.. whos the better ball handler? steph easy. whos more clutch. steph by a lil bit, both have had their dry spots stephs wasnt the prettiest but he got it done. who won the chip 1st? steph. why is kd better kuz hes bigger? i dnt think thats fair
Monee Boiii first thing first, basketball is a height game, it’s arguable on who’s a better shooter, kd did have a 40-50-90 season, ID give it to Steph as a better shooter but its not by a long shot. Steph is a better ball handler, but Kd is a much well rounded scorer than Steph one of the reasons is because of his height. His height makes it easier to shoot over others and have a difficulty level finishing drive. And IDk where youre getting the information that Steph is more clutch than kd
joseph Henry steph curry has been talked about as being the best shooter out of every player that ever played.. nobody has said that about kd ever. i know hes good at shootin but cmon dog steph is alot better. with the height thing you said youre kinda making my point if it wasnt for his height he probably wouldnt even be that good of a shooter he pulls up over ppl which means the defender is right there with em they just cant get up high enough to matter. stephs crossing ppl up and creating seperation to get shots off whenever he wants and he scores off ball better, that sounds like a better scorer to me he just wasnt blessed with being a mismatch. i say stephs more clutch kuz he came through on the big stage. the same stage kd was at WITH SIMILAR HELP and lost. they were both new when they got there but steph came through its not by a ton but hes got em a lil bit if u ask me. they both clutch not the most clutch but steph just a lil bit more than him. kd needed steph not the other way around. AAAND steph actually built his game up to be this good i can argue that kd hasnt even added anything new to his game steph recreated himself thats crazy whos done that?
Monee Boiii im going to stop you that, on the biggest stage Steph choked a 3-1 lead to a less talented Cavs team. But physical appearance is part of the game, if mj wasnt 6'6 instead being 6'2, would he still be a goat? If Shaq was 6'10 would he be so dominant. And Steph takes a lot of contested shots with defender in his face, IDk what games youre watching. Not all Steph shots have separation and not all Kd shots are heavily contested. Steph have the 3 advantage and Kd is a better midrange shooter than Steph, a better driver, a better post player, better defender, im not saying durant is miles ahead but it is so obvious that kd is better. Both players are extremely skills tho
Monee Boiii CORRECT!!! 💯🔥🔥 Steph’s the best player in the NBA. If you give him the Finals MVPs then they would have to recognize him as such! Hundreds of millions of dollars have been spent marketing LeBron. Curry could beat LeBron in two more NBA Finals and the media would still say LeBron’s the greatest player ever. SMH!
Derek Dementia Lebron outplayed Durant stat wise lol. You want to know the funny part? Lebron did work against the best defense in the playoffs(warriors) Durant did work against one of the worst defensive teams(Cavs) in the league.
Nope. Lebron can score just as much, while running an offense, with constant double teams. KD is on a team where you usually can't double him because they have 2 HoF shooters just chilling on the arc. Defense? Durant is better, but not by much. He rarely guarded Lebron in these finals and he usually got cooked when he did. The dude ain't better than Lebron. Stop it.
The last meaningful ring to me was the first warriors championship. I know Cleveland coming back was amazing but there was something about that series and the wcf that just seemed absolutely rigged. The way the fouls just started getting called for the Cavs when they were down 3-1 to the Draymond suspension made it very obvious the fix was in. I'm a bulls fan and was completely unbiased while watching it I just don't wanna lie to myself and try to skew what my own eyes saw
everyone saw the same but can't say anything about it cause people would just say that don't be salty. there's a reason why a 3-1 comeback has never happened before in an NBA finals conference.
Don't forget in 2015-2016 when Golden State Warriors was winning 73 games that year, Steph Curry was known as the baby face assassin; he was the most fierces and intimidating player on the court of the face of NBA (in scoring and winning the game, not physically intimidating/defending) Do you remember the game where Steph shot the one dribble across the half court 35 footer to beat OKC in overtime? NBA players was quiet, no reason to doubt, about who is the best in the NBA including LeBron James as Steph was the lead runner for MVP, not until later in the season that LeBron came out and said maybe MVP should be defined differently in terms of carrying one's own team. Then Steph lost some of his mojo in the final, and when Draymond Green got suspended, causing player rotational changes and resulting Andrew Bogut and Andre Iguodala to injury subsequently. Steph Curry got unanimous MVP that year -- in terms of the best player in a team that will help you to win a game mainly in ball handling, passing, and scoring. But we all no he can't dunk like LeBron, play defend or as quick as him in speed. But, MVP was for the regular season, and many believe and know that if was not for the Draymond suspension Warriors would have won the NBA finals.
Curry is incredible and my favourite player of this generation but he’s never been the best in the world. Lebron sort of had that from 12 to 18 and a few years before 11, then KD had it in 19, back to Lebron in 20, then Giannis took it in 21 and now in 22 the front runners are Giannis and KD and Lebrons right there but just behind them nowadays.
Would teaming up be the best move for both LeBron James and Kevin Durant?
Yes... And it will happen...
Warriors are curry team
gods finger that's Y Durant should Go back OKC..
It would be the best move. And I think Draymond should be in the GOAT conversation.
First Things First: Cris Carter and Nick Wright
Not really because because Kevin Durant is focused on getting more rings and being a better player than Lebron James. Both of them would rather compete against each other to see who's the best player in the NBA than join forces with each other. Both of them would not want to take the backseat for one another.
The NBA has got real good at being relevant 12 months a year.
TenThumbs Productions its actually the opposite it is irrelevant what happens for 12 months out of the year bc of kds move a couple years ago just saying
TenThumbs Productions lmao
Lmfao
Lebron has been good at that. Hence the NBA is.
TenThumbs Productions SURE HAS! They are almost running sports.
I love how whenever a super team is made, the media castrates everyone involved, but then the media goes around and fantasies about new and improved super teams every day.
SUPER SAMMICH because they have to,how else u wanna beat gsw?
SUPER SAMMICH the reason why is because of the arrogance of the media. The media thinks Golden State should not have a super team, but LeBron should. The reason for this thinking is they have invested a lot of time, money, and effort in the LeBron narrative of being the GOAT and the more he loses the more they look like liars. Yeah it is pathetic, they are rooting for LeBron to create his 3rd super team.
Percy Bedford i salute u for getting it. Like
they say the one ring in Cleveland is worth more than the 2 he won in Miami but yet they want him to leave and go team up and chase rings somewhere else. Lol
Miss White thank you my sister. I have peeped this for a while now. That is one of the reasons why I root for the Warriors.
Percy Bedford what are you talking about lebron has only had 1 super team and that was in miami
Nick is trying so hard to make it right 😂😂😂....I’m so happy that Broussard is there!
Yeah just watch 5:50 he is defending Lebron haha
Xbox Fortnite Scrims he’s not defending him. He’s saying if KD Wants to join him and it’s done organically it would be alright....but Nick is totally saying different as in LeBron seeking out and begging KD to join him...
Nick wrong wants KD to leave GS so bad it’s eating him alive 😂😂😂
of course he does; he want durant to prove his greatness without joining a loaded team that was already considered one of the best teams in NBA history.
If someone told Nick that Joe Montana is a better NFL quarterback than Lebron, he’ll argue that Lebron is way better.
TheBongReyes Lol😂 exactly!
TheBongReyes 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lmao!!!
Man i though that was a hair on my screen jajajaj
TheBongReyes 🤣🤣🤣 bro he prolly would thas hella funny 🤣🤣
Everybody on the panel realizes it would be absurd for Kevin Durant to leave the Warriors for the Lakers except notorious Warriors hater Nick Wrong
Why would Kd even leave the warriors? Why would Lebron even think Kd would leave.
jaguarjaonzz Damm you haters got so desperate that yall are clinging to rumors. 😂😂😂😂
KingMickD fake news
KingMickD Well think about it. All of the rings he managed to win, came due to the help of super teams.
@Kelley fort news flash so did bird and magic lmaooooo
This is just media making things up so they have something to sell, remember it's a long free agency till the chips start falling so they need to sell something. Also the Kawhi talk it's sooooo tiring by now that they need to come with something new. Don't worry KD will resign with GSW.
It's funny nick had a problem with KD going to GS but he wouldn't mind him teaming with LeBron 🤦🏾♂️
KD needs to stack rings in GSW
Gino DF I agree, load up on rings and let history decide who was better.
facts
juanio exactly, well said
Gino DF they dont count
Matt Whitely people have a thing of forgetting the details
We gotta stop saying Steph doesn't/can't play defense. That's completely false.
ChrisNemo thank you at least you watch whats going on
He plays pretty good on ball defense. Most of the people he guards have to shoot over him to be successful, and if they drive to the whole, you se a lot of forearm pushoffs or bury their chest into him, causing a blocking foul. He is one of the top in Net rating meaning he doesn't give up more points than he scores and he defends better than the average NBA player, which is a good thing for his size and is an offensive scorer.
He had a higher defensive rating than lebron this past season
lebron scored less points when curry was guarding than when curry was not ik it might be fluke but still
Why would KD leave a championship team set up for years to be LeBron's poodle?
Randy Bailin , Exactly.
KD will definitely be King Lebron's poodle ...
KD is soft
Randy Bailin set for years? Lol Houston nearly knocked them off 😂 Steph, Klay, Draymond they’re all mentally weak. Next year they’re not coming out the western conference
Ban Shore willing to bet on that? If igoudala didnt get injured chris paul wouldnt have gotten injured..
Why would KD leave. He's having fun winning playing in an unselfish system. Having fun again playing sports like when you were kids and winning (while making tons of money) is something i would take.
Yeah, he'd be a fool to leave the Warriors.
Hestige R ur assuming he’s having fun, u never know what’s going through his head
@@maemaedenise220 then he must be a fool
Kevin Durant replied "I'm too loyal"
lol
Bam Bam he is tho. He ain't bout to a LeBron. Leave his hometown without telling anyone.
Bam Bam lol
Bam Bam if they lose this upcoming season remember these words. He is loyal 2 a point, facts
WILLIAM KATS thank you, everyone calls KD a snake when lebron did it first
SAS got Lebron James phone wired tapped 😂😂
These stories are not entertaining or believable they need to do better
Brian Gore LeBron would never recruit someone that bear him 2 year in a row
Any team lebron goes to is a super team now .lmao you losers couldn't see greatness if your lives depended on it .im done with the debates.. lebrons heat was not a super team nor the Cavs because lebron never ever been on a team were he can take a night off .!!!! Lebron haters are not great people and thsts why youll never see great even if it was im your face .
Cameron Gill facts
Cameron Gill Your delusional if you don't think that Miami heat team with three top 15 players wasn't a superteam. Then they added Ray Allen one of the best sg in the league at the time and an all star.
Big Ro take lebron off are they a super team? No, take bosh off are they a super team? Yup
It kind of feels like some people have forgot 2015, 2016 Stephen Curry, since KD joined.
Bryan We remember Curry choking a 3-1 lead in the finals and winning a ring with Kyrie and Love hurt... We also remember him and Draymond crying and hitting the steering wheel in the parking lot calling KD.. 😂😂 Curry is good but once KD leaves Oakland will never win another ring
Bryan and you forgot about all those yrs before 2015 & 2016 where kd was the better player
OG James right? 😂😂 oh well, can't wait for a few days when KD leaves the Warriors the entire script is going to flip on Curry and its going to be hilarious 💯
Westside28 but that shouldn’t define it bc for a long time kd was better plus he was better player during that time gsw was just a better team
Westside28 Curry had some of the worst final performances ever. Kyrie owned him
I only watch this cause of Chris Broussard.
Special Week everyone does i hope he gets paid the most as well
ME TOO!!!!
Special Week not me he's mediocre
GASP!!!! The Blasphemy sir!!!
Special Week #facts
KD just beat Lebron the last 2 years... I know we live in the superteam era, but if Lebron really texted KD about teaming ip, thats a little disappointing
Derrick Likes NBA it is just a fake news by SAS who is still salty abt Lebron exposing him last summer
it would be about as disappointing as when KD joined the 73-9 team that beat him in the previous season.
I agree man! I am what some would call a bronsexual lol but if this is true I will renounce by Lebron James fandom here this very moment. It would be the soooooftest move ever, even softer than KD joining Warriors. Only thing Bron should be thinking about is beating KD. This would tell me he has no heart and no competitor in him. What makes it worse is it looks like hes about to get to team up with Kawhi so what on earth are you doing texting KD? Get Kawhi and run through those boys in Golden State next year and get your revenge. I like Kawhi better than KD and ive been saying that the last 5 years. Anyways if this is verified, I can no longer cheer for this dude.
Do you believe with these media?then you have no brain...mj paid this media to destroy lebron
Derrick Likes NBA KD didnt beat LB 2 times, GSW did!! KD joined a championship team who won 73 games!!!! KD is comfortable riding the curry training, KD showed who he was when he was up 3-1 vs GSW and lost
Nick just wants his daddy lebron to win another title.
Stephen A bout to go off on Bron again for coming at his credibility
Adam Jones He should stop reporting 3rd ear information
that is what all reports do lol. dumb
Remember Stephen a was the one that was saying lebron was going to miami and no one believed him lmaoo so yea.
Adam Jones - Steph doesn't want any static.
yeah and he's still trying to hang on that, since then his reporting has been bogus and rubbish
Nick can find anyway to Help Lebron, why leave to help Lebron Nick will find the smallest fraction to get Lebron the best help find a way to make it ok to ask KD to join up like thats cool Nick is a joke when it come to Lebron.
Giorgio Fly what's he gonna do with himself when Lebron does retire ?!?
LeBronsDiQ inNickWrightsBooty bring up old LeBron stories every chance he gets lol
It's sad lol Nick doesn't care how LeBron wins as long as he wins even if he joined the Warriors
Giorgio Fly, punctuation? Hard to read your post bro.
davibaby2012 well the people that know, know; those that don't, don't...but thanks for your constructive criticism lol 😂😂
LeBron Blames is the most mentally weak athlete of all-time. Now he's begging KD to team up with him.
The fact that you guys would even consider KD would be a protege is pathetic
Craig Royce almost as pathetic as KD joining the Warriors
Nathan Mulchandani almost as pathetic LBJ joining the heat.
Craig Royce so true
BET ONG if you think what KD and Lebron did is the same then you don’t know basketball
Nathan Mulchandani you don't know basketball
Nick Wright has me hate watching gooood job fs1
Boi Boi Exactly! I can't stand Nick Wright, as a journalist or even an NBA fan, on soooooooooooo many levels.
Lul
Boi Boi congratulations you just coined the phrase #Hatewatching luv it..
Chris carrying Fox Sports like Stephen A carrying ESPN
NBA CRUNCHER Colin Cowherd is carrying from a broadcasting perspective, Broussard from an analyst perspective.
Khwezi Ziqubu cowherd sucks
Anonymous Anonymously Snoozesard sucks he's boring
i seriously doubt Lebron texted Kevin Durant lol..
yeah cause lebron has never talk to other stars about joining up lol
Dylan I doubt he texted Durant...............alone. He texted Kahwi, George, Boogie and Durant lol
The guy always wants the easy road
Dylan i bet u he just like je did bosh n wade in their prime lebron can only win with other super stars around him
Darius clark Wait you’re saying basketball is a team sport? AND you need other good players to win?? Wow!! I did not know that. I thought you just went out there with a bunch of bums and magically won a championship. Thanks man!
Jenna got some strong arms man
Beastmode 44 real guns
Bigger than Nick's lmao.
Scott Stewart she got bigger balls than him too
Scott Stewart she could definitely knock him out
She looking good in that dress tho idc
Curry was never a better player then Durant at any point
DJ ShaqTown hahahaha! Think for yourself, dude
big facts
DJ ShaqTown hes saying that season he was regarded as 2nd only to bron everyone was comparing them two KD wasnt even in the discussion that season
Facts
Dj ShaqTown now you can say that but in Stephs Unanimous MVP season steph was widely regarded as the best or 2nd best player in the league besides Lebron & we all saw what happened when Steph faced kd in the 2016 playoffs, but what do I know
Nick Wright ..Wow man if you have family damm its has to be hard to come home and look at you in house..Smh Damm some jobs just not worth your SOUL!...King of 3-6 MAFIA
Before you start calling Cavs fans bandwagons we are not Cavs fans we are Lebron fans
Mobile Fire Gaming still bandwagon
Anthony Ellison how I'm not a golden State fan after the won 3/4 last finals
lebronsexuals
Y’all call KD fans warrior bandwagon fans , stop crying
And that makes you a bandwagon fan...🤦🏾♂️
Nick is making excuses for LeBron sending KD "You up?" text messages. LOL That's about as weak as KD going to G.S. in the first place.
They be lying!! Nick is right! At 2 years ago... just about everybody and they mama started saying that Steph Curry was the best player in the world. Rarely talking about Kevin Durant
Debo The Phenom no they didn’t only them weird analytics nerds were saying that
Debo The Phenom
Popularity doesn't mean you are a better player. Nobody has ever said Steph Curry is the best player, *EVER* ! If they did, they are delusional Warriors fans on a high of finally being relevant.
Bruce Smith I don't want to hear that now... because when we were living in the moment.... when Steph curry was the 2x mvp.... people were saying Steph was the best player in the world... I haven't forgotten. Just like the year Durant won MVP.. everyone was convinced he was the best player in the world... it's easy to look back now and say how crazy it was... but in the moment.... Steph Curry was becoming the face of the league and was being recognized as the best in the world
Bruce Smith 2016 Steph was literally the best player in the world, stats proved it record proved it. Award proved it. If they Beat Cleveland it would have be an undoubtable truth that the Steph was the best player in the world THAT year alone.
Debo The Phenom maybe u were I wasn’t nor was anyone that I know or the analysts I respect and watch
I don't understand the 'protege' concept. To be a protege you have to be young or at least unknowlegeable of the activity and seek a mentor. Kevin Durant is in his prime with a already refined set of skills that can't be further developed. This title is just offensive to KD.
Lebron just tried to recruit Durant? 😂 This is worse than Durant’s move to Golden State. Barkley was right, Lebron does not want to compete.
KD is never going to DC. There cap situation is a mess.
Hopper830 cap situation can easily be changed. He ain't going to Washington cause he not trying to carry that weight.
Easily changed? Unless your suggesting trading Wall, Porter and Beal for nothing it's not.
Hopper830 if the Wizards get out of Ian, Smith and Porters contract that frees up well enough cash. Team cleat cap space all the time, it not difficult.
No one is taking mahinmi's contract. There is a reason I didn't mention him. There other two don't free up enough space to offer KD the max.
Hopper830 every contract is movable. If you try hard enough. EVERY.
I can't believe a potential association of those 2 does not disturb none of those guys! Incredible! This era is really something!
KD is already better.
They don’t want to admit that haha
Kd play defense
Steph did say in an interview he thought he was the best player lmao
KD already said that he stayed in Golden state.kd is better than Lebron.i rather have KD in my team.
im a warriors fan but no id rather have lebron
Anirudh Pai nah. You can see how selfish Lebron was with the ball with the Cavs. KD is much more adaptable with Warriors with the unselfish play. Lebron ruins players’ rhythm by being the primary scorer.
Anirudh Pai I'm not either fan of them.
Ruse FBomb exactly
Ruse FBomb you dumb lmao. Kd obviously doesn’t need the ball playing w curry and klay.. Put kd on the Cavs last year and he don’t make the finals. Cmon man.
Squidward Wright is salty because he knows KD's is better than LeFraud James!!!
Real Bro L
Yep.
Come on “LeFraud?” LBJ is an all time great but KD is better been that way for the past 5 years.
Everyone is forgetting how good Steph is. Without KD, Curry is still a monster and I'm tired of everyone acting as if KD is just that much better then Curry. When KD went down last season, Curry torched the competition 13 games straight. Everyone also keeps forgetting that adding KD changes the dynamics of the team so just because KD won finals MVP twice doesn't mean that the Warriors would have lost in the finals if he wasn't threre; Curry plays better without KD; they still don't need him so stop the madness.
TrolandoTV he can , in the regular season but in the playoffs he won't . Even in the 73-9 season they went 15-9 in the playoffs .
TrolandoTV truuuuuuu
TrolandoTV 💯🔥🔥
Stop dreaming Curry knows fully well that KD is on another level. Stop comparing regular season games with playoff games. If Durant was not in gsw, LeBron is gonna eat Steph Curry raw. Kd better defender, more effective percentage wise. The most pure and natural and dynamic scorer. Practically unguardable. I like them both because their games compliments each other. That’s why Steph differs to Kd more during playoffs
Arjun Sajeev Dude Curry came off two back to back injuries in the 2016 playoffs and their were reason why they lost in the Finals; even Steven A admits to that. Y’all keep sleeping on him. His playoff stats are really good.
Yall must have forgot when steph hit 12 3pointers vs OKC and hit a 40 footer to end the game. No1 was thinking KD was better than Curry.
Why are they all Small forwards in free agency
Nick Wright would LOVE THIS!! LMFAO!!!!
Nick Wright, I'm telling you that two years ago people definitely thought that KD was the second best player in the world. Steph Curry is amazing, but hasn't been considered #2.
indiesocks KD has always been #2 and he's closing in on #1 soon its close.. Curry never 😂😂
D Tennn 💯💯💯
indiesocks
You are right Steph is not considered #2 because Steph clearly is the unanimous 2015-2016 NBA MVP.
@Rey Miguel Perez & @JJ Kingman 🙄
I think reporters claim they have "SOURCES" but in reality its just their imagination and they need a story using clickbait titles
Steph clearly said "I feel like I'm the best player in the world" when he won his 2nd MVP.
If so cool good for him
feel.. .i feel like i can fĺy. is diffent with... i can fly...
The mad scramble to get bron a winning finals record
Man ppl really forget they were winning like this without KD. Take Steph off the warriors they don't win the finals.
Dylan Austin lol 2 times finals mvp back to back=KD
Steph curry got double teamed 50 times next to kds 8....Steph doesn't have that one bad game its his mvp
People really so quick to forget about steph
KD will win more Rings then LBJ!!! and in 5 years you will have the debate KD vs Jordan!!
Tayfun Cavus no one will ever debate that .....EVER
Yea if he keeps putting up those finals numbers yep! MJ is the only person to average more points in the playoffs.
There is a reason why KD and Jordan debate is not happening now in his 10th year. It won't happen in his 15th year.
Lone Wolf NWJ KD will do what Bron couldn’t do in Miami not 2 not 3 not 4 .... not 6 not 7 !!! then we will talk !!!
Lone Wolf NWJ it will never happen
2:37 It took All the discipline in the WORLD for Nick not to interrupt CC ... 😂😂😂🤣
Nick be reaching
Im starting to realize nobody really wants to play with Lebron. Kyrie wanted out, Not one time ever did anyone voluntarily come to Cleveland.
Why should the best offensive player in the NBA want to play second fiddle to a lesser offensive player?
Hey Hayes Lebron averaged more points and was more efficient than kd in the finals smh. You guys are stupid. Lebron did it against the best defense in the postseason. Kevin Durant played good against one of the worst defensive teams in the league. Did you see how kd played against a good defense at times during the rockets series? Lebron did work against every team regardless. Boston was like the 2nd best defensively in the playoffs. Lebron is much better than Durant.
AfroCrew2022 man you can’t compare any of LBJ’s eastern opponents to GSW and their opponents. KD and Curry would of done the same if they played on the Cavs. Boston without their top 2 players made the ecf.
KD has a better mid range jumper, better footwork on the block, better handles, better 3 point shot, and better at the free throw line.
How did they flip this about KD wanting to Be With LeBron????? WTF
Lebron didnt text KD. This is Fake news.
steven hill I wonder how this came up so fast
Broussard is clearly an unbiased & well informed reporter. Keep up the great work sir goat. Much love from NC
Lebron James can NEVER be in the conversation as the G.O.A.T. ALL, (BUT 1), OF HIS CHAMPIONSHIP APPEARANCES AND ALL 3 WINS HAPPENED WITH 2 OTHER PLAYERS WHO WERE BOTH FAR BETTER THAN THE TWO OTHERS MICHAEL JORDAN PLAYED WITH (PIPPEN & GRANT and PIPPEN AND RODMAN). Michael Jordan was 6 wins no losses and ALL 6 MVPs, and HE NEVER CHOKED IN ANY OF THE FINALS AS LEBRON JAMES DID TWICE. Yes Lebron is still playing at a high level at 33 but in a much softer and easier NBA that plays very little great defense and Lebron was GIVEN his body by GOD. He did not make himself a great athlete- he was born that way. JORDAN made and worked himself into the G.O.A.T. and NO ONE ELSE IS EVEN IN THE SAME STRATOSPHERE AS MICHAEL- NO ONE!!!!
It came out earlier that Lebron was going to "sit down" with the Warriors in free agency.
Thinking about the outrage around the world if he did join the Warriors, why is it hard to believe that he texted the Warriors best player?
If he joins GS or gets KD to join him, Lebron is basically trying to guarantee he never loses another Finals. Thats his desperation to prove his hype.
I'm a call these boys the LGBT team 😂😂😂😂 Let's Get Bron Teammates 💀💀💀 LeBron will never be as good as KOBE! Nick just a LeBron fan with a mic 😂
Steph Curry has said multiple times that he beleives he's the best player in the world.
I will pick Steph over anybody at anytime I mean the guy is just so unselfish and can adapt to any franchise you put him in. People are so ungreatful that they need to be reminded how Steph had to sacrifice his game to let kd fit in and still stay relevant. Steph doesn't need your recognition to be the best player, he's his own motivator I remember all those saying about Steph around 2009 draft I ain't gonna front I wasn't even a fan at that time but with all that stuff said about him and witnessed what he has accomplished till now if you can't respect that then you're just a hater man. Y'all keep talkin but kd knows how it feels to be playing alongside Steph better than any of Yaw.. Steph doesn't need to be the goat or be the best player in the world he just plays the game In a different way that we have never seen....
8:22 The Warriors would win less games and OKC would probably win less games as well.
I’m confused, If Stephen A admitted that Lebrons people told him this never happened then why in the world did he report it and make this a story. This makes Stephen A look so foolish by trying to make it seem like Lebron went out and begged Durant and Durant told him no
Its because he reported it first, then retracked his statement because someone told him it wasn't true. You have to listen to the full episode to hear it. You can't tell from the clips because they are too short.
Lmao I love how much Nick is trying to get them to agree with him
Michael Jordan.
Jaime Pozo on God! No one kills people like MJ. People forget old school. This world doesn’t reproduce killers like that!
Best player in the world means different things to different people, i.e. athleticism vs skills vs production. However, what's not arguable is that Curry's the most effective player in the world. His deep 3-pt shooting is why Golden state has 3 of the last 4 NBA Championships. That style of play established them as the offensive superior to every other team in the league. It also caused Houston to go all in on D'antoni and Chris Paul, and caused former Warrior assistant GM Travis Schlenk to covet Trae Young in his new job as the GM of the Atlanta Hawks. No player this decade has impacted the way the game is played more than Curry.
Curry is still the real MVP
One thing missing is the pompoms. Lol
Lebron is no 🐐 especially if u want the 2nd best player in the league to play with u Lebron is great no doubt about it but no 🐐
Lebron GOAT (Going On Another Team) Again 😂😂
Nick Smith hahaha true
Lots of bums hate on lebron too much
It's amazing how they sit here and say a 33 year old player is better than a 40 year old player well duh year 15 Jordan was 40 years old 🤦🏾♂️
KD rings with GS are worth half of a ring.
TiMiNo of 780 so he has 1
TiMiNo of 780 stop crying
French # Most Romantic / Beautiful Language Ever Well Since KD joined the Warriors they’re 2-0 in the finals, before him they were 1-1. Bron (and his teams by extension) is 3-6 in the finals. 2 of which were when he wasn’t even the leader of his team in Miami. Stop
Sibzi Also him stop crying
Bruce Smith no I said he’s 3-6. The original comment is the one talking that half a ring nonsense. Plus the comment I responded to said KD begged for a ring when in reality Dray, Klay and Steph recruited him, similarly to how D Wade, Bron and Bosh organized their team. What my point is is people need to stop whining about players taking advantage of free agency.
A good civil conversation
Kevin's rings are all meaningless in terms of his greatness
KD'S rings are worth the same amount as LeBron's rings. Lebron ran to Dwayne Wade's team and teamed up with 2 other superstars to get 2 rings. Ran back to Cleveland when he saw the superstars over there and knew he couldn't win anymore in Miami.
oqihouqiop lmao they are meaningless because you don't like him? Lol crybaby
Zakiya Warren lol naw bro, Lebron joined a 45 win team and KD joined a 73-9 team. That's a big difference. The Heat actually needed Lebron, while the warriors never needed kd.
Mustang XC100 is it bad to join good teams? Lmao
Naseem Saleh if they just had a 73 win season and beat you then yes
First things first with only Broussard would be awesome
Y’all actually believe LBJ did this man ?
Kamryn Jackson yup, his done it before
juanio word u was there fux outta here. How would u kno cause u heard it. Lol stop believing everything u hear until it kums from the real sources
Kamryn Jackson yes he was his own person since he came in the league
Kamryn Jackson people will believe whatever makes Lebron look bad
juanio these people r paid to make up narratives cause there's no basketball right now
Broussard is such an OG
Why would any self respected superstar wants to be with Lebron at this stage? He has a great tack record. He went to Miami, yeah he wins 2 there, then left and abandoned Chris Bosh and Wade. Then he gets Kevin Love to help him, then abandon him in Cleveland. He "moves" platers to use them, and then throw them away like trash

😂😂😂 thats problably what the Lakers think is going to happen Lebron shouldn't join LA
If Kevin Durant left, nothing would change for the Warriors. They would still be the favorite to win the championship. The Lakers would have a team that might just make it to the conference finals, to be beaten by that still stacked Warriors team. Lakers need much more than just 2 superstars. Their bench is not very good. Plus if they get Kawhi this season, they're going to give up way more than they should out of the desperation they're showing right now.
KD is top 2 and he's not 2.
Facts
ATheGreat delusional bandwagons. Kd a cupcake 🤧
I am sick of the idol worship by sports media of Lebron James.
Curry is better than Durant
NinnyMuggins 99 no bud maybe in 2015 to 2016 season
Nick is so desperate to see his guy win another championship that he is willing to say anything. There is absolutely no reason for KD to teammate with LeBron. Stay right where you are and continue to beat LeBron, KD.
i hate how we always remove the smaller guys from the best discussion just kuz theyre small.. if you really think about it, whos the better shooter? steph, easy.. whos the better ball handler? steph easy. whos more clutch. steph by a lil bit, both have had their dry spots stephs wasnt the prettiest but he got it done. who won the chip 1st? steph. why is kd better kuz hes bigger? i dnt think thats fair
Monee Boiii first thing first, basketball is a height game, it’s arguable on who’s a better shooter, kd did have a 40-50-90 season, ID give it to Steph as a better shooter but its not by a long shot. Steph is a better ball handler, but Kd is a much well rounded scorer than Steph one of the reasons is because of his height. His height makes it easier to shoot over others and have a difficulty level finishing drive. And IDk where youre getting the information that Steph is more clutch than kd
joseph Henry steph curry has been talked about as being the best shooter out of every player that ever played.. nobody has said that about kd ever. i know hes good at shootin but cmon dog steph is alot better. with the height thing you said youre kinda making my point if it wasnt for his height he probably wouldnt even be that good of a shooter he pulls up over ppl which means the defender is right there with em they just cant get up high enough to matter. stephs crossing ppl up and creating seperation to get shots off whenever he wants and he scores off ball better, that sounds like a better scorer to me he just wasnt blessed with being a mismatch. i say stephs more clutch kuz he came through on the big stage. the same stage kd was at WITH SIMILAR HELP and lost. they were both new when they got there but steph came through its not by a ton but hes got em a lil bit if u ask me. they both clutch not the most clutch but steph just a lil bit more than him. kd needed steph not the other way around. AAAND steph actually built his game up to be this good i can argue that kd hasnt even added anything new to his game steph recreated himself thats crazy whos done that?
Monee Boiii what about defense, rebounds, fg%, assists, Steph has the ball more an only averages 1 additional asst a game.... So what's your point
Monee Boiii im going to stop you that, on the biggest stage Steph choked a 3-1 lead to a less talented Cavs team. But physical appearance is part of the game, if mj wasnt 6'6 instead being 6'2, would he still be a goat? If Shaq was 6'10 would he be so dominant. And Steph takes a lot of contested shots with defender in his face, IDk what games youre watching. Not all Steph shots have separation and not all Kd shots are heavily contested. Steph have the 3 advantage and Kd is a better midrange shooter than Steph, a better driver, a better post player, better defender, im not saying durant is miles ahead but it is so obvious that kd is better. Both players are extremely skills tho
Monee Boiii CORRECT!!! 💯🔥🔥
Steph’s the best player in the NBA. If you give him the Finals MVPs then they would have to recognize him as such! Hundreds of millions of dollars have been spent marketing LeBron. Curry could beat LeBron in two more NBA Finals and the media would still say LeBron’s the greatest player ever. SMH!
They reaching for views 😂😂
KD is a better all around player than LeBron right now.
Derek Dementia Lebron outplayed Durant stat wise lol. You want to know the funny part? Lebron did work against the best defense in the playoffs(warriors) Durant did work against one of the worst defensive teams(Cavs) in the league.
Nope. Lebron can score just as much, while running an offense, with constant double teams.
KD is on a team where you usually can't double him because they have 2 HoF shooters just chilling on the arc.
Defense? Durant is better, but not by much. He rarely guarded Lebron in these finals and he usually got cooked when he did.
The dude ain't better than Lebron. Stop it.
How about his defensive rating this year?
lol. LeBronsexual!
LeBron is almost ranked last in defense this year.
Check his rating compared to kD.
Nobody is leaving golden state. Unless they get traded or waived....
Chris is such a professional.
Remember when ppl used to talk about the NFL year round constantly....
Now they talk about the NBA 12 months a year. Times are changing.....
Lebron texted Kevin Durant? He gets no criticism?? Shocked😒
Am I the only one more concerned about how the text got out than it being the topic of the discussion
This offseason nba free agency is way more entertaining than the finals
First thing 1st...deny....deny deny
The last meaningful ring to me was the first warriors championship. I know Cleveland coming back was amazing but there was something about that series and the wcf that just seemed absolutely rigged. The way the fouls just started getting called for the Cavs when they were down 3-1 to the Draymond suspension made it very obvious the fix was in. I'm a bulls fan and was completely unbiased while watching it I just don't wanna lie to myself and try to skew what my own eyes saw
everyone saw the same but can't say anything about it cause people would just say that don't be salty. there's a reason why a 3-1 comeback has never happened before in an NBA finals conference.
KD already said he likes the BAY AREA and the warriors...He likes how they get along and the brotherhood!
Don't forget in 2015-2016 when Golden State Warriors was winning 73 games that year, Steph Curry was known as the baby face assassin; he was the most fierces and intimidating player on the court of the face of NBA (in scoring and winning the game, not physically intimidating/defending) Do you remember the game where Steph shot the one dribble across the half court 35 footer to beat OKC in overtime? NBA players was quiet, no reason to doubt, about who is the best in the NBA including LeBron James as Steph was the lead runner for MVP, not until later in the season that LeBron came out and said maybe MVP should be defined differently in terms of carrying one's own team. Then Steph lost some of his mojo in the final, and when Draymond Green got suspended, causing player rotational changes and resulting Andrew Bogut and Andre Iguodala to injury subsequently. Steph Curry got unanimous MVP that year -- in terms of the best player in a team that will help you to win a game mainly in ball handling, passing, and scoring. But we all no he can't dunk like LeBron, play defend or as quick as him in speed. But, MVP was for the regular season, and many believe and know that if was not for the Draymond suspension Warriors would have won the NBA finals.
Curry is incredible and my favourite player of this generation but he’s never been the best in the world. Lebron sort of had that from 12 to 18 and a few years before 11, then KD had it in 19, back to Lebron in 20, then Giannis took it in 21 and now in 22 the front runners are Giannis and KD and Lebrons right there but just behind them nowadays.
This is like watching a sitcom now
