Some of today’s best NBA players will never win a championship

Anthony Davis won his first title last season. Arguments can be made whether he would have been able to do so without teaming up with LeBron James.

Kevin Durant couldn’t do it with Russell Westbrook and couldn’t do it without Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson. He set sail to prove he was able to lead a non-super team to the ultimate victory and promptly created a new super team.

It’s to be expected though, wherever LeBron goes, the coattail riders are sure to emerge. The same could be said for Kevin Durant as both a destination and a coattail rider depending on you look at it.
