"Kevin Love, he had to totally change his game to fit, to be a shooter," Durant said. "Which, I think, he deserves way more credit for switching his game. Bosh, same way. LeBron is a player that needs to play with guys that already know how they play the game — and shooters. Like, young players that are still developing, it's always going to be hard because he demands the ball so much, he demands control of the offense, and he creates for everybody."

כמובן שלברון עושה משחקני משנה טובים יותר כי הוא לוקח את כל תשומת הלב של ההגנה ואז הם חופשיים יותר, אבל ROLE PLAYERS (שגם עושים עבורו את ההגנה) יש לו די והותר בלייקרס.

דוראנט אמר:

"If you're Kyle Korver, then it makes sense [to play with James]," Durant said. "Because Kyle Korver in Atlanta was the bulk of the offense, and he's not a No. 1 option at all, not even close. So his talents benefit more from a guy who can pass and penetrate and get him open.

"If you're a younger player like a Kawhi, trying to pair him with LeBron James doesn't really make sense. Kawhi enjoys having the ball in his hands, controlling the offense, dictating the tempo with his post-ups; it's how he plays the game. A lot of young players are developing that skill. They don't need another guy."

קווין לאב לעומת זאת???

"Love deals with the persecution of being a LeBron teammate, of being blamed, of dealing with his social-media undercutting, of being the fall guy, as he's called himself … There have been so many days and nights where Kevin Love has walked out of a building feeling beleaguered or beaten down … because of LeBron."
