I agree Durant leaving the way he did was much worse than what LeBron but I don't see how you can say LeBron never would have won a championship staying in Cleveland. We'll never know for sure. They were making the finals pretty regularly and I've got to believe eventually he would have been able to recruit some help via FA.
But yeah I don't fault LeBron as much as I do Durant. Durant's move was cowardly IMO.
