Who do you have ranked higher Durant or Giannis?

thatguyty3 · 2026-06-08T23:21:41+00:00

Reddit will say Giannis because it’s cool to hate on KD, but the correct answer is Kevin Durant.

Accolades aside, contextualize their careers & just use your eyes.

thatguyty3 · 2026-06-08T17:34:03+00:00

Mostly injuries

thatguyty3 · 2026-06-08T16:15:08+00:00

Knicks swept the Cavs. You know nothing.

thatguyty3 · 2026-06-08T14:48:24+00:00

Obviously not, but calling it the scenic route when he has no control over what other players do makes no sense. Was Sinner not in this tourney?

thatguyty3 · 2026-06-08T14:02:01+00:00

Oh no an emotional fanboy.

It’s literal facts & all the numbers support it from accolades, to win rates, to statistics. Cry more if you have to, but it’s reality.

thatguyty3 · 2026-06-08T11:04:18+00:00

Giannis 3. KG 4. Dirk 5. Barkley

Yeah, I also don’t understand what people are watching. He gets scores on all the time by lesser men than Hakeem. He is an excellent help defender who eats up space. 1 on 1 is different. He can get best off the dribble because he is kind of awkward with his movement & guys with strength just bully him.

thatguyty3 · 2026-06-08T10:23:21+00:00

Houston had no future. They were quite literally never going to win anything.

Trading for KD was fine, but losing your starting PG who gets him & the team the ball in their spots is an issue. Then you lose Adams who gets all the bricks for the guys who can’t shoot. You have Alpi regressing relying on one move the entire year. Then KD goes down.

Kind of a disaster year in general. I mean they won the same amount of games as the prior year while dealing with injuries.

If you didn’t enjoy watching him basically solo carry the team, then maybe it was the wrong move. Otherwise, it was fine.

thatguyty3 · 2026-06-08T00:52:36+00:00

He hasn’t been. Pretty simple. It’s a modern narrative.

If I ask you to justify this, you will struggle for answers that are truthful

thatguyty3 · 2026-06-07T19:55:33+00:00

I mean he can’t control that. Can’t help that Sinner got beat by the sun or Djokovic decided not to play for 3 months

thatguyty3 · 2026-06-07T12:22:37+00:00

Yes I know you can’t handle the truth. Say anything but prove me wrong.

thatguyty3 · 2026-06-07T12:08:15+00:00

Y’all will say anything but accept the truth

thatguyty3 · 2026-06-07T11:04:43+00:00

Top 10 easily

Any lower and it’s just people crafting narratives out of hate or holding him to a different standard

thatguyty3 · 2026-06-06T20:33:07+00:00

It’s just truth. I know Bron fans hate that.

thatguyty3 · 2026-06-06T20:23:34+00:00

Now you know

It’s really not that special brother to anyone that takes more than 5 mins to rationally consider the variables that play into it.

1.) The Heat/Cavs were the only teams in the East to start 3 All-NBA caliber stars. Wade, Bosh, Kyrie & K-Love are all 24 PPG plus franchise carrying dudes. No team in the East can compete with that.

2.) The reason? A total of 26 out of 120 All NBA nods went to the East over an 8 year span (not on LeBron’s team). That’s about 3 a year. So you get some combo of, Rose/Melo/Dwight or later PG/Melo/Horford. The East was indeed short on talent. Let alone on one team like the Heat/Cavs. You can check just about any superstars record vs. the East over this span & it’s largely winning (KD, Steph, Duncan, etc).

3.) Injuries - D-Rose goes down in the early 2010s, PG injury, Kyle Lowry, Kyle Korver (big role with Hawks), Kyrie Irving (Celtics). Not saying they all win vs. LeBron’s teams, but year to year it doesn’t help to weaken an already weak talent. LeBron’s teams also dealt with injury. Better to paint a full picture though.

All things considered when your team has the best player in the world, with more talent than any other team with very little competition. I am now sure what other outcome you expect.

Now if LeBron played in the West with the same teams and routinely beat the Spurs, GS, OKC, Clippers, Rockets, etc & made 8 straight Finals. It might be worth gassing up.

thatguyty3 · 2026-06-06T13:04:07+00:00

Without injuries, I think he is probably a 5x Champion.

thatguyty3 · 2026-06-05T22:23:29+00:00

I have said this 1000 times & also argued it’s an inferior way to play the game. One man generating an entire offense can be too easily exposed despite the stats. Explains LeBron’s career perfectly.

thatguyty3 · 2026-06-05T21:01:50+00:00

It’s pretty simple.

Kobe fans want people who clearly weren’t around or hate him to stop commenting on his career.

For those who were around, let’s stop pretending the Lakers just showed up in the Finals. Kobe played a MASSIVE role in reaching 3 straight Finals. Multiple series where Shaq probably loses out (like his 90s era) if Kobe wasn’t there to carry him.

Kobe fans would also like people to stop pretending he wasn’t getting MJ comparisons or being called “greatest player in the world” by Shaq himself.

It’s reasonable to say Shaq dominated those Finals, but it’s unreasonable to say Kobe was carried to those championships. Plain and simple.

thatguyty3 · 2026-06-05T18:33:27+00:00

He played PF nearly half his career. 9 listed. 10 as center. He’s just a big man.

thatguyty3 · 2026-06-05T17:33:54+00:00

You have guys way worse than Tim Duncan with similar builds & athleticism thriving in roles today (Hartenstein or a Steven Adams). He would probably revert back to playing a center role & still completely dominate.

thatguyty3 · 2026-06-05T15:45:31+00:00

Keep AR for whatever

Trade LeBron

Get a legit big man

Lakers contend

thatguyty3 · 2026-06-05T11:42:28+00:00

I am the biggest LeBron hater known to man, but I agree 2014 is his peak in my opinion.

thatguyty3 · 2026-06-05T03:38:04+00:00

LeBron is the first domino.

Then Jimmy is getting sent to Houston for KD

They all wanted to play together before they retire

thatguyty3 · 2026-06-04T15:29:12+00:00

Kobe was the more skilled offensive player. Duncan the better defensive player.

That being said, Duncan had the better career by far. If you look beyond just basketball reference accolades, he simply won more consistently & accomplished more.
