10 reasons Kevin Durant's decision is worse than LeBron James' 2010 Decision

#5 Compromising his legacy

Stephen Curry will still be the man in Golden State

When LeBron James went to the Miami Heat, it was clearly established that he's the man on the team. While Dwyane Wade might assume the role of a closer time and again, there was no question that LeBron James was the motor which drove the team. He was in a position to control how his destiny was chronicled.

The Heat had not won a playoff series since 2006 when they won the title. They were coming off a 47 win season where they were knocked out in the first round. In contrast, the Warriors are coming off a 73 win season and a Finals appearance.

Kevin Durant now finds himself in a subjugated role to Stephen Curry. A former MVP going to the team of the reigning two-time MVP will need to slow his role and fit in.

Even if Durant wins a ring with the Warriors, he will find it difficult to dismiss the notions that he's riding Stephen Curry's coattails.
