Why didn't he just stay on the Thunder and try to win a

>>77302096
Because westbrick is a ball hogging team killer, and the thunder weren't gonna do the right thing and trade him.

Westbrook has too high of a ball usage rate, which holds back KD's post moves and pull ups that we've seen in the Finals. If he stayed we wouldn't see him play like that.

he just didnt

Why do you call him Westbrick when he's the league MVP?

Westbrick is the worst playoff performer in NBA history.He constantly chocked series away with his memechucking and heroballing

>his teammate is the biggest ballhog in the league

Kevin Durant made the best decision in NBA free agency history.

Why is this a daily discussion? It's the era of free agency. Move on with your fucking lives. Jesus fucking Christ. Shut up!

>>77302874
What about James Harden?

>>77303229
He is better than Westbrook at everything other than rebounding

Are we just gonna forget that this dude had the most efficient Finals since Shaq in 2001? Are we just gonna forget that this dude finally proved what a superstar he is once he finally got to play with an actual basketball team? Are we just gonna forget that this dude buttfucked LeHelp hard with no lube, and it took a major refball to prevent the sweep?

>>77302096
Because he isn't a leader, and OKC needed him to lead. He doesn't want to g have to carry a team night in and night out because he has zero desire/killer instinct like most stars in the NBA. He cannot deal with the pressure that comes with being the star of a team. Because of this, he went to the one team where he really didn't have to do anything, he could just be another player on the floor rather than "the guy". He had no pressure to carry or lead because his new team was already finals caliber. Neither he or his rings will be respected by any other stars of the game or fans who truly care about basketball. In fact, this move may go so far as to be the final straw in making rings an invalid argument as to who is GOAT.

>>77303417
OKC is a leader. Westbrcik just didn't allow him to lead. >>77302874

>>77303340
Except all of it is pretty much invalid because the team he joined was literally the best of all time and won 73 games the year before. Pretty easy to shoot efficiently when you have no pressure on you because any of the 4 other guys around you can carry the game.

He got no loyalty inside his DNA

>>77303439
This is the stupidest argument ever. If KD wanted to lead he could have easily told Westbrook to give him the ball, but he didn't because he's a beta faggot. Literally someone who would rather let his teammates do whatever they wanted instead of taking control like he should have.

>>77303469
t. 14 year old

it doesn't matter when you dominate like he did. and the supposed "literally the best of all time" just embarrasingly blew a 3-1 lead in the finals a season before, and the very fact you called them the best ever shows what in insufferable faggot you are, kys.

>>77303439
he wasnt, he was too much of a bitch to tell westbrick to pass him the ball. >>77303508

>roster with westbrick

>>77303545
kd blew a 3-1 lead to that same team you idiot

>>77303469
Westbrick has a huge ego and has kidnapped the OKC organization. KD was a pariah on OKC

>>77303563
and? what does it mean related to this? idiot.

>>77303625
moron

>>77303545
Lol you're an absolute retard if you think that wasn't the best team of all time. I watched Jordan's Bulls, Shaw and Kobr, the Beatles, and the current GS squad and GS would clobber literally all of them. Get the fuck out of this thread you blithering idiot.

>>77303694
>you think that wasn't the best team of all time.
Because of Durant. The Warriors without Durant are a meme that fluked its way to a ring against an injury plagued Cavs

>>77303694
you're a fucking balding 14 year old moron.

>>77303469
Nah bro. We don't get to make fun of the 2016 Warriors for failing to win the Finals and then turn around and claim they were the best team ever just to shit on KD's decision to join them. You can't have it both ways.

They were a flawed ass team despite their record and it was very fucking apparent in the playoffs in 2016. The addition of KD turned them into the best team ever. I don't see how any other team is going to compete with them in a 7 game series this year if they're healthy. And they still don't have a dominant center. God fucking help us if they somehow find one in the next year or two.

durant assraping le help and his cocksucking 17 year old fanboys in the finals was the best rude awakening in a long while, lol fuck you faggots, go die in fire.

>>77303869
people make fun of them because they lost and were good and expected to win


if some random scrub put up lebrons 2011 mavs numbers he would be praised, but because it's lebron and we expect better from him he gets rightfully shitted on for that.

>>77303921
They barely got to the finals that year. Did you even watch.

he just doesnt have any kind of heart.
never ever in his life will he beat the odds.
the only way he managed to win was to change the odds. he's a great great basketball player but nothing else. in 20 years no one will have him in his top 10, he will always be below steph curry who will never make it to the top 10

>>77303973
by this logic, the cavs barely won the finals..

>>77304354
Durant is alredy top 2 of all time

>>77303973

No one "barely" makes it to the Finals. They went 73-9 for Christ sake.

>>77304516
Regular season is meaningless.Specially when most teams stop trying after March.The Warriors barely faced any oppostion in their 2 playoff runs except Durant going solo against them and getting sabotaged from the inside by Westbr*ck and 2016 LeBron.

No they wouldn't have. They were the 4th best team in the West with Durant, a first round exit without him.

>>77304681
They also signed another top 5 player at the time in Bosh and ended up with the greatest shooter of all time like 2 years later. They were still buttfucked by a Spurs team that played the perfect series but Heat were insanely stacked.

Your fantasies are best kept to yourself. Do you realize reality exists outside of your head? History will just remember the rings. And the finals MVP performance, since KD was the best player on the court. Please take your imagination somewhere else

>Thunder only lose WCF because NBA doesn't enforce their own rules and suspend Draymond for his 15th instance of playoff dickpunch/kicking
>He does it a 16th time in the finals and they HAVE to suspend him, which ends up being the entire reason the Warriors lose
>Draymond calls him up crying and so Durant uses "they lost" as an excuse to join the Warriors
Silver is entirely to blame for his league dying

>>77302096
Why should he stay in Oklahoma?

He owes nobody nothing there. He gave almost a decade of his career in there with no complaints. He was drafted by the defunct Sonics, if anything he should go try to win a ring for Seattle if they come back.

Small market teams should suck it up and move on to the next guy. Player movement is great for the NBA.

because everyone knows the hardest road is joining a 73 win team

>you now realize if james harden wasnt traded that lebron would only have 1 ring

>>77310469
Because this >>77310482
LeMeme's teams were never as dominant as the team Durant joined. The thunder were far from "garbage" they were 3-1 up on the warriors team that he joined. They could've easily been in the finals that year and could've beaten the cavs. But instead he joined a team that just won 73 games and basically made the entire western conference an afterthought. It became "I wonder who the warriors are gonna run train on in the finals this year?"

>>77310546
OKC was Durant going alone against teams while Westbr*ck sabotaged the team with pure autistic chucking.
Durant moving to a team seems to have broken the balance as he is just that good.LeBrick was never as dominant as Durant despite playing with 3 top 5 players in the same roaster while Durant has humilliated him playing with players that barely crack the top 20

>>77302096
>I feel like they definitely could have done it.
They definitely could not. The team was nothing other than Westbrook and Durant and OKC's ownership is fucking terrible and loves selling off pieces. They were closest with Harden and got dumpstered by the Heatles and hadn't been close since, and surely wouldn't be close with the team making retarded trades like the one for Oladipo.

Durant is a bitch snake who ruined leave parity for at least 2-3 years but I'm not crying tears for one of the worst franchises in the NBA. I'm also not going to cry for LeBron who colluded to form a superteam and then gets beaten by another one.

>>77302096
He wanted to be the villain and feed of the hate

>>77310574

I see you doing this shit in literally every Durant thread.
Why do you suck his cock so hard?
Westbrook is not that bad of a player.
You shitpost constantly about basketball yet you apparently don't know a fucking thing about it.

Durant btw had a chance to seal the deal against GS but he choked (well, actually he threw the game for his butt buddy Draymond but that's another story

You can suck Durant's cock without having to make yourself look retarded about Westbrook.
