In a series of viral Instagram comments, Durant explained why he views the James-led 76ers as much superior to the 2017 Warriors squad that featured him, Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green.
Durant also dropped another interesting comment in relation to his major take: “but I get most of yall are bron fanatics and whenever I speak on basketball it triggers u because u believe I stole 2 chips from LeBron and that would’ve made his goat case even better, but most of the time yall never pay attention to what I say, just respond emotionally”
Kevin Durant claims LeBron James’ 76ers are better than his 2017 Warriors superteam
These latest remarks by Kevin Durant about LeBron James and the 76ers have become even more intriguing after he previously likened the new-look Philly team to his legendary Warriors superteam.
10 years ago, Durant stunned the entire sports world after announcing he would be leaving the Oklahoma City Thunder to join the Golden State Warriors. The superstar generated flak for his decision, as he teamed up with an already superior Dubs team coming off a historic 73-win season.
With Durant, the Warriors completely unfairly owned the entire NBA. They won back-to-back NBA titles in three consecutive Finals appearances, dominating James and the Cleveland Cavaliers in the 2017 and 2018 NBA Finals.Â
As Durant, Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green were at the peak of their careers, fortified by the sixth-man play of Andre Iguodala, the Warriors were simply unbeatable and hammered one of the greatest dynasties in NBA history.
In the end, time will tell if the 41-year-old James, an injury-plagued Joel Embiid, and a talented 76ers squad featuring a prime Jaylen Brown, Tyrese Maxey, and rising star VJ Edgecombe can live up to Durant’s belief that they are a better team than his Warriors superteam.
