This reminds me a lot of the Bulls at their peak. As a Warriors fan, I hated the Bulls. I hated MJ. I felt pretty much like most of you seem to feel about the current Warriors and KD. I figured the Bulls were unbeatable and I didn't love it since my team sucked. They became the bully of the league. At the same time I did marvel at much of what they accomplished, and there was a beauty to their game.
I think this is very similar to the current Warriors. Only time will tell if they end up being as dominant as the Bulls.

I'm sure we could go back through history and find similar super team type stuff farther back in history if someone knew NBA ancient history better than me. Wilt to the Lakers? Kareem to the Lakers? Moses Malone to the 76ers. Etc.
It's been happening for a long time, people just don't like the circumstances on how KD made the move. Much like how LeBron had serious backlash after "the decision".

I don't know how you can say that Durant wasn't the best player on OKC last year. The only thing Russ has are more assists since he is more ball dominant.

Whichever player or role players they lose, KD is still onboard. They'll be a force in the West for years to come. Injuries are the only thing I'd be worried about if I'm a Warriors fan.

Well Paul Pierce is entitled to his opinion, but I like how Chauncey Billups had this "Whatchu' talking about, Willis?" look on his face.
Also, it's slightly ironic that Pierce didn't give KD crap about jumping ship to the team he couldn't beat when he, KG, and Rondo (mostly Rondo) hate on Ray Allen for signing with the Heat as a free agent. This year is the 10th anniversary of that Celtics' championship team, and the entire team is getting together to celebrate...but they didn't invite Ray Allen (unless something has changed since the story was first reported).
I guess it's different from the outside looking in, but Paul Pierce of all people should know how it feels for a former teammate to leave and join a rival.

Holy cow, some of you have nothing better to do than attack the legacy of a basketball player.
I get the feeling that even if the Cavs come back and win the series, some of you would still find a way to denigrate LeBron. Give it a rest--maybe direct that energy towards a consequential problem.

when its the same people year after year after year.....after year. You learn to tune it out.
I find it interesting. I didn't think there were people who doubted LeBron this much at this time. I guess if social media was around earlier, maybe we'd see the same for MJ during his prime. I find it very interesting to see it.

Nah ...
Grow some thicker skin. Your hero doesn't give 2 turds about you. Stop taking things personally.

Has nothing to do with needing thicker skin. It's just that the anti-LeBron crowd is such a tired, dead-end act. Get over it and move on with your life. Want to talk basketball? Fine. Do that. But the incessant negativity directed towards one person really is pretty sad.
Any one in particular.......
. How about them Vegas odds of Warriors beatin the Bulls......I'm surprised that didn't rile up Jordan fans. Folks most agree with them .....

I actually don't believe it that GS would beat the bulls. The game has changed since the 90s. They used to literally mug players during games in 90s. Now the officiating really focuses on hand guarding and let's offensive players run free. If the bulls played in today's game, I think they win series in 6. If these teams played in 90s, bulls in 5.
Draymond Green would not want to kick Rodman in the nuts....
