^ KD and Lebron faced up during the 2012 Finals (THUNDER-HEAT) ......... HEAT won 4-1. Lebron was the Finals MVP.
Of course, it was a different story when KD joined with the WARRIORS.
Bottomline, talent wins in the NBA. You have talent, you will contend.
A NETS-LAKERS Finals will be great TV, since there are 5 all-NBA talent. IMO NETS will be the underdog, since LAKERS have better depth.
