This was the year it should have been KD vs LeBron in the Finals! Prime v Prime. No excuses. Both teams had good rosters. This OKC team were no scrubs (SAS voice). Had GSW down 3-1. That would have been a better rivalry for the NBA. 2 top players, as well as Kyrie vs Westbrook and Love vs Ibaka. Maaaaaan...
I KNOW RIGHT!!! Bruh they were up 3-1 against the warriors it would have been perhaps more entertaining than the finals with cavs vs warriors 2016 because it would’ve been lebron vs Durant, Westbrook vs Irving, love vs ibaka, and so on. Damn this was durants chance, his year, even though the warriors had that insane 73-9 season the okc proved they were more dominant by going up 3-1 but they just had to blow it unfortunately.
And KD wouldn't have to leave OKC because they were able to beat the GSW
Cavs would of torched the thunder
@@kennethstone4590 *have. Illiterate. No they wouldn't have. They went 7 with GSW it damn sure would have been a 6 or 7 game series vs Cavs. Kevin Durant has always showed up vs Lebron James.
I was just thinking damn this woulda been a showdown! Truly evenly matched with the 2 best players in NBA !
thanks a lot GD for feeding us with this dope vids.youre so much better than the nba channel
It’s just disappointing that Durant didn’t have the heart to compete. I don’t want it to be true but it’s the truth.
Can’t beat em join em
watchful news clearly you didn’t get it
watchful news you mean the over stacked warriors??? Ask mike how he views that
watchful news no it’s about how he went about it. Everyone had built their teams or were drafted to a team that took care of them. KD went up 3-1 with a contending team and lost and joined those who beat him. That’s not being competitive. We criticize cause you cannot expect people to look at his methods and compare him to the great competitors of all time although he is still an all time player. Each team he has left he has talked bad about them as well. Lebron built his team after being given nothing in Cleveland. Mike and Kobe had teams built for them. Durant had a talented team but choked.
watchful news “how did he choke when he had an underdog team up 3-1”
Lol brotha... DO NOT WASTE YO TIME replying to this clown. KD may not be all time players but this guy is definitely an ALL TIME nba RUclips clown
The nba was perfect in 2016 in every way and KD ruined it lol and I'm a fan of his
@@michaelkirschner6009 Golden state was already a dynasty they had broked MJs bulls regular season record a year before he joined....
@watchful news obviously we were right cuz he wasn't happy there in the first place so what you're saying is irrelevant
@watchful news he already said he was never happy there lol idk wtf you're talkin bout
Still a 🐍🐍
MHU 2k Golden state was Not a dynasty at the time bro....the Spash Bro’s were 1-1 in the finals at the time of Kd’s arrival...but were on pace to become a dynasty with or without KD tho.
Did the Cavs just blowout OKC with no literally no backcourt?
Yup
+Kyriediculous you keep saying that but it's true bro.
+cb4allstar4 They did the same to the Spurs.
Well they did have JR hitting big shots all game long...
LeBron owns OKC just like he owns Chicago. Too great.
Not for the playoffs 😂
another L for durant against his matchups with lebron although lebron didnt score on kd much his team however showed up cant say the same for kd team glad cavs got rid of brick waiters he straight trash
+Alishah Pearine your missing the point lebron didnt score much on kd but thats irrelevent they still took an L
Lebron owned KD In OKC, Lebron Also Owned the Warriors in 2016 FINALS.KD And Warriors Need Each other to To Swarm Lebron.
Lmfaoo the two dagger over Bron still hurts you 😂
@@carolcaua9745 I'm A Warriors Fan🤣.
@@perfectcopy7374 lmfaoo and i'm a honest Lebron fan i have to admit Bron don't have the talent KD has
@@carolcaua9745 dudorant can't carry a team 😪
@@IlocanoAk03 lmfaoo imagine say this when the dude almost beat the NBA Champions (Bucks) by himself with his second and third best player injured 😂
Dion Waiters is a double agent for the cavs
Cavs up 20, lebron sits on the bench looks at the OKC crowd and says, are you not Entertained?
Lebron owns kd
***** haha
It's ridiculous but true he just can't beat Lebron Teams for W.e Reason
+BBQ Chicken it's not the same comparison tho a few of those Years those Cavs teams was better than the Lakers only legit Years the Lakers were as good was 09-10 Pau trade happened 2nd half of the 08 season Kobe still did his numbers tho hit many clutch shots over Lebron but as good as these Thunders teams are no way the record should be this bad
+Ronnie Alston Those Cavs teams were better because Lebron was on them he has been better then Kobe for awhile now
+Ethan Stewart bullshit those Cavs teams was better because they was in the east Big Z at that time was way better then kwame Brown Drew Gooden was a Double Double Z Player Larry Hughes could give 18-20 on any given Night Even Wally Szczerbiak was still shooting at a high level over 40 from 3 & Daniel Gibson was over 40 from 3 name 1 other good player on those laker teams besides Lamar & Kobe put Kobe In the East & they winning 50 Games even in those down Years with just him and Lamar they won 42 & 45 in the West
I remember that off season right before KD signed with the Warriors that Victor Oladipo signed with OKC and i thought that wouldve brought back the OKC big 3. I remember thinking that Oladipo would bring some added defense to help on Klay, Steph, and Kyrie and then when i heard that KD left i was so disappointed. 2017 was supposed to be so balanced.
The reason why I think it was disappointing was because kd and Westbrook had Just entered their true prime.
Adams was also getting better and inaka was still good for a few years.
They literally just needed to sign a second shooter who could score 10-15 points efficiently and play Decent Defense.
Oladipo might have been that but I'm not sure if OKC would have signed him if kd stayed
The good ole days when things were balanced
Its balanced now
Way Too Versatile fax but it wasn’t from 2017 to 2019
not balanced, cavs have 3 superstar. thats why kd join gsw to make it fair. 3 superstar vs 3 superstar.
let it be Kevin love hasn’t been a superstar since like 2011 idk what the hell you’re talking about lol
@@letitbe978 what a noob also kyrie and love is just a fucking all star
Just appreciate greatness folks.
These are two top 5 all time SFs going at each other.
Relish these matches while they are in their primes, they only face off three times a year.
Twice* but facts
three times. *all star game* ;)
+Chef Curry oh shit I forgot lol
+Chef Curry not really a face off between them but I get the meaning
+Chef Curry wow, a curry fan thats not a Lebron hater. Nice
definitely shoulda been the '16 finals teams
I know right, 😢 would’ve been so entertaining
JR Smith back with lebron! Hopefully we can see stuff like this again!
Lmao Lebron shitting on KD as usual. And Kyrie barely played lmaoo. #CavsNation #LebronMVP
he didn't shit on him but okay
at least Durant didn't got shit on by Curry
***** your fucking crazy Durant played good chill god lebron fans are crazy Durant had 26 and lebron had 25 nobody was anyone's bitch bruhhhhh
+Chris Jennings shut the fuck up bitch Lebron cooked the Warriors that whole series just had no help
W
I hope lebron gives hell to golden state this year.. too remind kd who this league this belongs too
Lebrón james the best
Let's get this straight the cavs beat the thunder twice without kyrie Irving and held the thunder under 100 points both times yah its not even a question anymore the cavs are better then thunder btw Dion waiters is trashhhhhh
Waiters will be out of the league in 2 years.JR reminding the cavs once again they made the right decision lol
@@Miltonman100 "JR reminding the cavs once again they made the right decision"
Oh man how funny is that
There's no debate. KD for sure was the hardest player to guard on that time. His size really gave him advantage to shot over people. And Lebron was clearly MVP. On one-on-one maybe he wouldn't dominate KD like on that game but hey, this is team game. You can't win by yourself, and in this case Lebron was more valuable than KD since he could manage to score and giving teammates easy bucket on the same volume. His BB IQ really impressive.
Anyway, let's appreciate greatness before it comes to the end
Best comment in this comment section
Planet Earth no
Look KD and LeBron, KD better shooter absolutely and he drives as good as anyone but LeBron has him on the drive by a bit, but where LeBron takes the lead is how you just can see him creating for his squad over and over again, you can’t put a price on a player who can make roll players so much better.
Top Gorilla bra stop that argument makes no sense. He didn’t have help his first go around in Cleveland at all and as a baby still was carrying his team deep into the playoffs. Miami only won like 30plus games the year before LeBron showed up, and He didn’t have help his last year with the Cavs and we saw a player single handily take a team that was a last place team the following year get taken to the finals all because of one man. Lakers were a mess until LeBron shoes up.
Lakers were in the top 4 best teams his first year taking out the warriors right before LeBron hurt his groin. Now your turn when has KD faced adversity?
A Cavs v Thunder Finals woulf be the Heat v Thunder 2012 Finals all over again
best chance for lebron to bring a championship to Cleveland or if Clippers somehow make it..Not beating GS in a series or the Spurs depending on if Duncan still got some left in the tank
@@natejohnson5370he’s not beating the warriors in a series u said ?
Jr smith tho with them 3s👌🏾😂😂
Lebron is way better than kd!!
Lebron sorry
Don’t You Dare Subscribe Me excuse me LeBron better than Kevin Durant all times buddy
I have yet to see okc beat the cavs, does Durant beat lebron in one of these vids?
Yeah
lebron is the backcourt. . best in the league. .
why have i never seen this lol
okc fans say the thunder better than cavs plz but yall badly lost to the cavs twice this season
This man LeBron always on a mission to kill Durant every time they play 😂🙌🏻 da 🐐
Lebrons team beats Durants teams but head to head, they play about the same. As a matter of fact, Durant typically guards Lebron but Lebron doesn’t like guarding KD.
@@amitpalbains9361 Boy u better go watch da games before KD went to GsW
Goat Man Goat Man lol it looks like you better watch the games before KD went to Golden State. There stats are almost the same but LeBron does have better assists. Which makes sense since Lebron is the much better passer and is much more of a ball dominate player. Everything else is basically the exact same. Whether you look at KD vs Lebron when KD was on the thunder or on the warriors.
@@amitpalbains9361 very true but lebron fans will tell you he was killing kd
@@amitpalbains9361 lol this two years ago but I see lebron on him 80% of this video. You must be talking bout him guarding gsw kd when he’s carrying a heavier load
KD talks shit every game against Lebron... Then loses... DAAAMN DANIEL 😂😂
Anyone else notice there is something wrong with the announcer's voice?
Dion Waiters 33 minutes played, 4 points. Smh
who else is here waiting for the Finals matchuo?
matchup*
how many times does Lebron have to beat KD in head to head matchups???
17
KD Just Can't Beat Lebron Smh it's getting ridiculous
Who else is watching this as a Finals Preview?
Me to But just hoping okc finishes the business tonight
David they were up 3-1 but they blew it
Boy Jr was good in 2016 😔
SD squad stand up
i heard the cavs might get joe johnson is dat true?
very
+Mister Evans If the cav's get Joe Johnson, Man it might be over with. They may be able to beat The Warriors.
+Brandon Garner iso Joe is no joke,the team as a whole has been looking scary lately,especially if they get him
Brandon Garner not might will be able to beat the warriors joe johnson vs klay will be a PERFECT matchup and joe not only a great scorere hes a pretty decent defender to but what he really brings is his clutchness if we get him we wont even need jr in the 4th
+King Wani Shoot, the Thunder probably need Joe Johnson more than the Cavs do.
KDfans hate them Lebron Cavs Kevin OKc days they never speak about those game only GS😂😂😂😂
lebrun james is the best
King James made it clear KD ya still a child just take a sit, you have to move to GS Warriors to challenge LeBron because you can't beat him on your own
and guess what happened next
@@thetrollmaster5772 KD cried and joined the warriors because that's the only way he'll ever beat LeBron
Dang I'm early
Cavs blewout OKC without Shump and Kyrie 😳👏🏻
Is only one regular season game but is not a playoff series
lebron always destroy the thunder lebron>kd allday
I remember those games KD was always the underdog against Lebron overpower teams in Miami and Love Irving Cavs 😭
You forgot before he went to Miami
dangit lebron :(
Wow KD always getting his ass bussed
Waiters 1-8. Thanks man
Highlights Lebron's vs Kd
Thunder took the L from indiana and didnt seem to learn from their mistakes
Kd no match to lebron james.. James has ths speed streght and vision with high basketball IQ...
Kd pawned kill him twice.nice joke
@@pipoypipoy9761 did he do it without the warriors?
So what is the reason LBJ always beats KD? He is stronger? Both teams are great. Is KD not aggressive against LBJ or something. To me it's weird af.
I'm starting to think it's mental for kd.maybe not.but I don't sleep on it
KD is a great scorer but Lebron is a better basketball player
I hope they keep playing LeBron at PG if Kyrie is out with the flu next few games.
I be telling folks, whenever LBJ plays point guard the team he on has a winning record
Lebron formed a “super team” Miami to beat a super team (Boston). All other future ones were formed to beat one man.
Not really, that boston team was not anything special
He formed that team because he was chasing MJ and had already wasted a few years on the cavs. He didn't want to waste 3-6 more years in rebuild..
@@Christopher._M nothing special enough to beat Kobe and the Lakers and everyone else in the east
@@kaykay9646that was 3 years before Miami.
When I mean special I mean a team that was unbeatable by your normal championship level teams.
this is why Kd shouldn't be on this team..he's holding Westbrook back..Westbrook ain't afraid like KD is..I'd rather build a team around Westbrook over KD
your the dumbest man on planet earth
tbh they holding each other back cause they both can carry a team by themselves like how kd carried them to a mvp year and rw last year almost mvp
LeBron traded Westbrick lol
Top NBA coach killers:
Lebron
DWill
Howard
Harden
Coach killer are u serious name one good coach Lebron has got fired and the cavs ownership fired him without lebrons consent
+Stopping LeTards Since 2003 Dumbass keep hating while the Cav's are winning.
Wow! Lebron is so used to calling for the foul, he forgot that HE was THE DEFENDER @2:32
God you're so dumb he clearly was pissed that kd made that shot
3:34 this is why kd and westbrook will stay together in okc
time to revisit this comment sir. Time ain't playin no games
Did you guys think that was a foul at 3:20 just wondering
no not really
lol it should be Lebron vs Westbrook if you look at stats!
Westbrook really passes it to kd when he has a wide open dunk and this nigga kd really leaves him next year🤦🏽♂️
They just switched duo
Cavs vs Thunders 2016
Lakers vs Nets 2021
jr smith 4:13
KD will never be LeBron
Because he's Kevin Durant
+Miltonman100 he is his own kind of player
+Dell Pc23 i agree
+Miltonman100 Man... Why people are saying sh*t? Cavs are better team than OKC but LeBron is not better than KD. Different things... 1:44 for example LBJ can´t catch KD, if you watched the game on tv you saw that KD stopped LeBron often.
+BBQ Chicken Bro is your opinion i respect that, like you have to respect who think that KD is better than LeBron.
Who’s watching here because Russ was traded to lakers with Lebron
not takign anything from lebron, cuz he a top 2 all time, but lets be frank, his teams are so much better at making 3s then what anythign kd had in okc, not talking about gsw, so thats why they usually would lose, cuz kd can be easily doubled and andre roberson not making the 3 whilst if u double lebron his entire team can hit 3s
Lebron . can be the best in the world
13-3 excluding the playoffs .Lebron>Durant
LeBron owning KD as per usual lol
Lebron owns kd? Watch the whole video again and see how many possessions kd takes on lebron and how many possessions does lebron actually score on kd. The system just different between 2 teams. A win is a win, no excuse, tho you cant say lebron owns kd on this match.
Thanks waiters you're the real MVP
He been looking real bad
kd is lebrons child
KD IS BETTER THAN LEBRON. In Scoring and Shooting ability. LeBron is better than KD in all around ability. He can score, Pass, Defend, and has an Unbelievable IQ in games. So Durant won the scoring. But Bron won the all around ability. To summarize, Bron is Much Better than KD. But in terms of scoring, KD is much better.
In this Game you can clearly see that KD can defend Lebron one on one while Lebron cant do anything on anything Durant wants to do to him
this when kid left
Cavs could get dogged by okc in the finals tho lol
L
OKC lost to LeBron in 2012 in the finals
KD>Lebron
Gtfoh 😂😂😂
Nah bruv
i been saying okc trash
how is this a "MUST WATCH" video
idiot
ews
waiters should have got traded
1st
Been was killing Kd lol Kd fans are delusional
KD destroyed Lebron one on one but Lebron had a better teammates.
keith warren They had equal teammates, Russ was better than Kyrie, Serge was a DPOY caliber rim protector but life was a little bit better and could score, Tristan and Adams were even and the benches were even, there is no advantage there for either player, which goes to show LeBron was just playing better than KD or dominating the game overall more, which is historically true.
@@JoshuaD.Howard Nope. KYrie is a better player than Russell. Russell makes a lot of errors and missed shots while KD wants the ball. Russell is a selfish player while kyrie is not.
keith warren Bro what is wrong with you, Kyrie is nowhere near better than Russell Westbrook 🤣🤣 that was the feeling at the time and is still the feeling now, not to mention Kyrie is actually considered more selfish than Russ nowadays so that part is wrong as well
@@JoshuaD.Howard I don't know if kyrie is more selfish now but that time when KD was still in OKC, Westbrook is a very selfish player, and it was also proven when KD went to Golden State. Russell's triple double was just a stat padder.
keith warren Now I know you’re wrong, because by the logic that you consider Russ a stat ladder, the whole golden state team should be considered stat ladders, because on many occasions they’ve left their best players in well after the game is decided just to run up the score and score points that aren’t necessary
I love Kd defends Lbj on every possession and Lbj doesnt (cant)
No they didn't gaurd each other all game.you tried it though L
This game for me epitomises why LeBron is a better basketball player hands down, even to this day. Is KD a better shooter? No doubt. But the game is about 5v5 and what LeBron has in his mind is not about the 1v1 and all about the ‘W’. People made a big deal about KD shooting the 3 over LeBron in the finals but in this very video he did this numerous times. He’s 7ft tall for goodness sake!!
To your point about what LeBron had around him and what KD had around him. I’ll give you an example. KD would never have been able to take that sorry excuse for a team in LeBron’s last season with the Cavs to the finals despite all of KD’s greatness. If you can make a case for how he could have I would love to hear it but let’s be honest please. Please watch that 2018 playoff run. I believe that is one of the most underrated accomplishments. Ever. If JR never did what he did (lmao) or better yet George Hill knocks down his FTs that win could have been start of the biggest upset of all time. I digress, but that team was straight trash. It’s the intelligence that sets them apart not the physical attributes.
Damn you really went all over to defend some man who doesn’t even know you. And you know him knocking down shots at damn near 7ft means he worked really really hard right
LaFIame - so your logic is that one shouldn’t defend another they do not know? Where is the cut off point with that? You haven’t thought it through kid.
If you disagree with my points then stick to that, and leave your red herrings out of this.
MVP duel? they were MVPs, but they can't stop Steph this season.
lebron did in the finals
Lebron can't do anything with kd
But win.
Bruh how can you look yourself self in the mirror and say Lebron is better than KD one on one 🤦🏾♂️
P.S.A NO STATS INVOLVED.
That's stupid asl
LeBron couldn't score on KD at all in this game, only reason thunder lost because of players not named Westbrook and Durant... #nohelp
even tho he scored his first 11 points on kd and love and him controlled the fucking game
Md outplayed lebron here
But lebron has better team
kd always exposes lebron terrible perimeter defense, his lateral movement is horrible
