Warriors' Batman-Robin?

[CodeBreaker]

Who plays the Alpha role? Who plays the sidekick? There has to be one right? Just like D.Wade playing sidekick role to LeBron. But the difference is both Steph and KD are MVPs, scoring champs, both still entering their primes. So who plays who?

Whoever is there first is Batman, just the way it is. Lebron was a sidekick and so is Durant.

Lebron wasn't a sidekick lol

Durant = Batman
Klay = Robin
Steph = BatGirl

LeBron was sidekick? Didn't know that. Sidekick takes fewer shots, fewer ball possession, and that was clearly D.Wade's role when LeBron went to Miami.

He kind of was in that first season (as much as a player of his caliber can be a sidekick) with the Heat because he was going to "Wades team." It was part of what cost them the title that first season. Wade was smart enough to realize that Lebron was the better player and became the sidekick for the next 3 seasons.

He was a sidekick the second he went to a team where there best player had already won a title. MJ laughs at guys like this, that is a guarantee.

Saying Lebron was a sidekick in Miami was not only a stupid thing to say but was also false

I agree with most of this. Only difference is that I'll say by the time the playoffs rolled around in year one Lebron became batman. Difference is in year 1 they were like 1A and 1B. After losing to Dallas, it went from 1A to 1B to Lebron being the clear #1 and Wade stepping back from 1B to Option #2

Now back to the topic guys

I had Lebron as the sidekick, because in that first finals, he all but disappeared late in games because he was trying not to "step on Wade's toes" and kept deferring to him.

Understandable. I think that had more to do with their friendship to be honest with you. KD and Curry aren't nearly as close as those 2 are so I doubt that will be on Durant's mind

Just bc he went to Wade's team doesnt mean he was the sidekick. He was always Batman. He took more shots, had the balls in his hands more and was the court leader.

You're probably right about that.

If he was the leader, then why did he defer to D-Wade so much?

From 2000-01 until Shaq left, Kobe took more shots and handled the ball more than Shaq. By your logic, Shaq was the sidekick, yet everyone says it was Kobe.

Had the balls in his hands more. Sounds like LeBron. Peace.

"Holy shit Batman! What a great shot! Can I suck your dick now or do I wait until the game is over?" Kevin Durant AKA Robin.

Curry is Batman for the first 3 quarters
Durant is Batman for the 4th quarter

By 4th quarter, Warriors already got a 20 point lead with both already sitting on the bench...

Well, thats why I voted for Curry. But in a tight game where they need one shot in the 4th, assuming they are playing against God or the aliens from Space Jam then I can see KD taking the final shots.
