The league made changes so what Durant did can’t be done again, there will be more coming eventually.

In before anyone mentions that LeBron teamed up with two all stars. Even though KD teamed up with three.

no question, they both chose to be sidekicks

I think the league should let the Celtics get a couple of all stars and then put an end to players teaming up. Who's with me?

Sidekicks? Stop that. Both were the best players on their new teams. Sidekicks are never a teams best player.

they are a sidekick if they choose to go play with an established superstar. Sidekicks fill in around superstars, just how it is.

This is some funny shit. Calling two of the best players in the game sidekicks is hilarious.

"sidekicks fill in around superstars"

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

LeBron and KD weren't sidekicks.

Lebron wasn't a sidekick in Miami at all

Lebron wasn't a sidekick in Miami at all

by my definition he was

Can't be the best player in the world and be a sidekick lol

Are you one of those “people” that identifies themselves as a cantaloupe or garden hose rather than male or female?

Then by your definition AD is a sidekick because he joined LeBron in L.A. right?

Don't ever make me laugh like that again.

got to at least try to keep things lively. I will say that Lebron is not a sidekick with the lakers.

well at some point you have to take into account the age of the superstar in question. It’s a pretty complex system I have, it’s not easily understood.

To me it sounds like a little LeBron &KD hatred mixed in with something that doesn't make sense. Explain it in great detail. I got nothing going on today. Gotta brisket in the smoker and listening to Motown on vinyl right now. I ain't going anywhere.

Calling a superstar a sidekick when they're still in their prime is wiggy territory. Don't be like wiggy.

See, too many operate under the incorrect assumption that all good teams have that 1 guys who is their “leader”.

The MJ model, so to speak.

Reality is there have been a lot of championship teams, like the Warriors and Heat where the team had multiple stars on a similar plane. It is fair to call Klay a sidekick, but KD and Curry we’re definitely co-stars. Curry was the better leader, but KD the better player.

In Miami, LeBron and Wade started as co-stars, but then Wade became the sidekick when that didn’t work out.

LeBron has never been a sidekick.

wiggy & dorian- the dysfunctional duo. Add in lebron23james and ya get the Three Amigos.

I can’t put Wiggy in that class. He is just an ass. He says some intelligent stuff when he is able to see past his incredible biases.

Dorian and LBJ never offer anything intelligent.
