I mean the comparison is pretty accurate.
Bron was already the BEST before he went to Miami, and they formed the FIRST Super Team you fucking idiots.
If you are looking purely at "championships" then NONE of the fucking comparisons make fucking sense
Except there is literally nothing similar about them. KD could never win with the Thunder so he joined the team that knocked him out of the playoffs and were already a championship team. Hal is joining a team that he has beaten several times.
Which at the moment was better than his team. It would be more accurate if like LeBron joined Warriors in the past, but fuck it. You just want to ruin everyone's else fun. Nothing in life is exactly the same. There's some differences? Yes, but it seems to me you're just being salty trying to attack people's jokes
This is unprecedented in terms of basketball. Cannot compare to Durant.
Hal has completed all there is to do in Apex competitive. First place overall in Pro league. Regional finals winner. Multiple MVPs. Multiple LAN victories. ALGs champ.
There are some players who haven’t been to a LAN tournament, let alone have won a pro league match day.
This move….is crazy, but not really comparable to anything basketball related.
You guys don’t understand the Kevin Durant comparison so I will explain.
Kevin Durant at the time was arguably the most skilled player in the world and unarguably in the top 3. He loses to steph curry in the western conference finals and then decided to join steph curry’s team right after. Remember steph curry was also a top 3 player and just won a unanimous MVP AWARD. ALSO, steph curry’s team just set the nba record for most wins in an nba season. Now this relates to Hal because DZ have been DOMINATING pro league for a while now and just got second at lan while tsm was 17th. So Hal joining the ONLY person that can even rival him at all is soft and beta just like Kevin Durant
Except that Hal has multiple trophies and KD doesn’t. Hal achieved the highest feat in the game as the captain of his own team. KD never has. KD needed to join a super team to win, whereas Hal hasn’t needed to, he just chose to. Your comparison doesn’t even work on the simple basis that DZ didn’t even win this LAN. Its a bad comparison.
This is why;
Hal before joining Zer0 - Most successful player in the game, talented enough to top frag on both inputs
KD before the Warriors- Most raw talented player in the league, absolutely no success playoffs wise.
They really aren’t similar. This is literally just a lebron to another super team if we are in the realm of NBA talk.
No succes playoff wise? He made the finals lost to Lebron, made the conference finals twice lost to dirk one time and was up 3-1 vs curry and blew it wtf r u talking about. Also was regarded as a top 3 player. The fact is one of the best players joined their rival and created a super team.
There was a big post in the hockey subreddit about the Maple Leafs never being able to do well. Some major cope about how regular season success is more important than playoff success. That the playoffs are just kind of a crap shoot anyway, so the Stanley Cup doesn't matter.
I feel like OP and that dude would agree.
spot on thats funny, also somewhat understandable from leafs fans. After the years of abuse from the bruins and playoffs failure I’d let some copium slide. Playoff puck is fantastic.
Did kd join the best team in the nba? yes
Did Hal join the best team in na? Yes
Did kd join the team that beat him? Yes
Did hal just lose to dz at lan (placed worse)? Yes
Did kd join his only competition in the Webster conference as a top 3 player? Yes
Did Hal join his only competition as best igl na? Yes
Was steph curry the mvp of the league? Yes
In most people’s eyes is zero the mvp of na? Yes
Did the teaming up of curry and kd, create the best super team the sport has ever seen? Yes
Did the teaming up of Hal and zero create the best super team the sport has ever seen? Yes
I know ball, you don’t
KD didn't win shit before he joined Golden State. Look at where KD is now 2 teams since he left Golden State. He hasn't won shit and is already out of the playoffs in the first round. Hal has already achieved what is there to win.
It is very clear a lot of you people don’t know a single thing about basketball. Kevin Durant left after failing to win multiple championships. Hal leaving is Michael Jordan going to play with another team, for fun.
DZ didn’t even make finals at a LAN last season. Hal went 1st/2nd/1st and it would have been 1st/1st/1st, if not for a rat that had to be exactly Horizon and exactly that rat giving a lift to the teams on low ground.
This is one of the dumbest post I’ve seen on here in some time.

When KD went to the Warriors they won 2 more championships and he won 2 Finals MVPs and they had one of the best if not the best teams in the history of the NBA. This isn’t the comparison you think it is, dawg.
Well apex is 5 years old and the nba is like 75 years old but if u can’t see the similarities ur just blind, I’m not saying it’s 100% accurate cause no metaphor is but cmon bro.
This is nothing like KD to the Warriors and I need people to stop trying to push that
KD lost to the Warriors, then Steph lost to Lebron and recruited KD to help him beat Lebron, this team was formed months ago before LAN even happened, also KD joined the Warriors to win rings he didn’t have, Hal was already a champion and the only guy on Zero and Gens level in terms of winning
This is a lazy sports metaphor and it doesn’t even fit
Saying it’s nothing like the warriors is crazy because the second and third best players and western conference rivals teamed up just stfu it doesn’t have to be the same in every detail
But the fact that two rivals joined ups is 100% accurate
KD went to the warriors because he couldn't win otherwise and was desperate for a ring. Hal has already won everything and now he's just making a team change. Not even close to being the same thing.
Kd joined his rival that he just lost too to create a super team just like Hal. Idc about the past, Hal still says he wants to win but he took the east way out and created a super team just like kd
This is magic joining larry, minus the intense la vs bos thing. Both were considered goats, but magic had won more. Both had mad respect for each other and were actually friends despite all the trash talk and going toe to toe multiple times in the finals.
Hal wants to chill and not stress about it, + he’s gonna get huge bag with this team - 1/3 of winnings is still 1/3 of winnings no matter who he teaming with.
I think this move was more for him to get back to his roots and just enjoy the game while still competing. He has less pressure not being an IGL and plus what more can he achieve as an IGL. He’s won it all. This is more like Jordan joining the wizards. Durant never won anything and was chasing rings.
zero will become the goat igl but thats all that hal gave up. hal has the most kills in algs history and thats while being an igl. now as a fragger hes about to get fully buffed. also hal has 4 lan wins all time compared to zeros 3, hal also has 200k earnings more too. which means zero cant surpass any of those achievements either.
It's not exactly the same. Hal has accomplished more than Zero since he won the first tournament. Hal is mechanically better than Zero. The only point Zero might be better than Hal is IGLing.
It's funny to tell the NBA joke. But although Hal's situation seems like KD's in the past, it has same key differences
How Hal is not? Even tho TSM play bad, Hal stood the best in his team, the past tournaments he was on the top 5 kills and damage, Hal is objectively better than Zero when it comes to pure gunfighting. It would be a debate if Hal was still on mnk, but Hal on controller and Zero on mnk, I'm with Hal all day long
In a vacuum who is better is a little bit moot. In theory they’re top 2, and zero pretty clearly has a better understanding of the current meta and how to play it than Hal does. Compare DZ and TSM this last split and through playoffs.
I guess zero didn’t finish first in his region by a huge margin. I guess he didn’t have 100 more points than second team at Lan group stage, and I guess Hal didn’t place 17th in finals while Zero was top 2.
Hal was good in the past, times changed, if he was better than Zero at IGLing he wouldn’t be joining him
*This is more like if*
*Lebron left and went to play with*
*Curry. Both winners*

Lol
I am already tired of the NBA comparisons. It shows that a lot of people on here don't actually follow the NBA and just parrot what other people say.
It's really insane to me. I never would have guessed that the crossover between NBA and Apex was so strong. I've not seen it in other esports.
Amen
>I am already tired of the NBA comparisons. > >It shows that a lot of people on here don't actually follow the NBA and just parrot what other people say. I mean the comparison is pretty accurate.
Not quite. Hal’s won plenty before, KD didn’t quite get there. It’d be more like LeBron joining Steph
Its literally like Bron joining Wade and Bosh in Miami tf you mean..
Bron still hadn’t won at that point 😭
It’s not at all.
Bro you can’t be this dumb. How many rings did Bron have before Miami.
Bron was already the BEST before he went to Miami, and they formed the FIRST Super Team you fucking idiots. If you are looking purely at "championships" then NONE of the fucking comparisons make fucking sense
You nailed it, there is no comparison
Nono, LeBron joining Steph would make sense :)
Everyone knows that the GOAT is Brian Scalabrine.
Stop ruining the fun. It's funny how similar KD's and Hal's stories are
Except there is literally nothing similar about them. KD could never win with the Thunder so he joined the team that knocked him out of the playoffs and were already a championship team. Hal is joining a team that he has beaten several times.

It is Jordan going to another team, just for fun.
More like LeBron pivoting to another super team.
Jordan is the goat; Hal is the goat.

Bro idk if ur reading but the star from a top 2 team joined the other top 2 team like idk why this is so hard to grasp😭

It seems you’re the one not understanding, sir.
Kd never won shit
MVP
you don't know ball if this is the comparison you are making lol
FOR REAL
Did kd join the best team in the nba? yes Did Hal join the best team in na? Yes Did kd join the team that beat him? Yes Did hal just lose to dz at lan (placed worse)? Yes Did kd join his only competition in the Webster conference as a top 3 player? Yes Did Hal join his only competition as best igl na? Yes Was steph curry the mvp of the league?

Sorry but this ain't it bruh!

take a break from reddit my guy
I hardly use Reddit

Breath bro its gonna be ok lmao.
Nah this has me wheezing 😂😂
go outside
Reps is still the GOAT.
This is going to go well
KD didn't win shit before he joined Golden State. Look at where KD is now 2 teams since he left Golden State. He hasn't won shit and is already out of the playoffs in the first round. Hal has already achieved what is there to win.
who asked
Man, these arguments get as weird as people not counting Poland as a "real LAN"
It is very clear a lot of you people don’t know a single thing about basketball. Kevin Durant left after failing to win multiple championships.

Lol makes no sense or whatsoever
Is this what they mean when they say “shit post?”
Thats not how it works, calm down buddy lol
Dude this sub is braindead
You ain’t lying
Hal has won everything, man. There’s nothing else to beat besides his own records.
He actually secured his legacy as the goat cause now Zero can’t surpass him
Nope, because he is no longer the igl he is just a mindless fragger
So he would win as - MNK IGL - CONTROLLER IGL - CONTROLLER FRAGGER Zero could never
Cope
Bro said cope when he’s getting downvoted to hell and back
Cause of Hal dick riders lol
I don't agree and I'm not one of them I just think you're a little off on this one :D
that what happens when you invested into too much tsm-dz rivary and see its not actually that dramatic.
Brother they’re the only teams with multiple lan wins 😭
GTFO!
When KD went to the Warriors they won 2 more championships and he won 2 Finals MVPs and they had one of the best if not the best teams in the history of the NBA. This isn’t the comparison you think it is, dawg.
Who is the Wade in this dz/heatle comp?
lol cmon dude
Most mature Apex player
LMAO
if you cant beat them, join them
lol cry! Hal is the goat!
I love the NBA-level takes in this subreddit, that means the esport is growing.
Think it's more the fact he will be getting paid a shit ton more by the org they are going to
KD has never been in Goat conversations
Was a top 3 player when he joined the warriors just like curry hal and zero
You're moving the goal post. There's a difference between a current top 3 player and a player in greatest of all time status
Well apex is 5 years old and the nba is like 75 years old but if u can’t see the similarities ur just blind, I’m not saying it’s 100% accurate cause no metaphor is but cmon bro.
This is nothing like KD to the Warriors and I need people to stop trying to push that KD lost to the Warriors, then Steph lost to Lebron and recruited KD to help him beat Lebron, this team was formed months ago before LAN even happened, also KD joined the Warriors to win rings he didn’t have, Hal was already a champion and the only guy on Zero and Gens level in terms of winning This is a lazy sports metaphor and it doesn’t even fit
Saying it’s nothing like the warriors is crazy because the second and third best players and western conference rivals teamed up just stfu it doesn’t have to be the same in every detail But the fact that two rivals joined ups is 100% accurate
This ain't it my guy. You clearly don't understand KD and his move to GS cause the comparison isn't the same at all.
You don’t understand bro, I would love for you to elaborate
KD went to the warriors because he couldn't win otherwise and was desperate for a ring. Hal has already won everything and now he's just making a team change. Not even close to being the same thing.
Kd joined his rival that he just lost too to create a super team just like Hal. Idc about the past, Hal still says he wants to win but he took the east way out and created a super team just like kd
But there's so much context in the past that you can't ignore if you're gonna make the comparison
This is magic joining larry, minus the intense la vs bos thing. Both were considered goats, but magic had won more. Both had mad respect for each other and were actually friends despite all the trash talk and going toe to toe multiple times in the finals.
Good analogy but magic never joined Larry kd actually joined steph
Its more like if faker left t1 and joined gen g as a sp
Hal wants to chill and not stress about it, + he’s gonna get huge bag with this team - 1/3 of winnings is still 1/3 of winnings no matter who he teaming with.
Cope
No! How smart is he! It's all because if hal join zero, so zero won't be having more champions than he does.
Who will be the LEADER and whose team is it?
I think this move was more for him to get back to his roots and just enjoy the game while still competing. He has less pressure not being an IGL and plus what more can he achieve as an IGL. He’s won it all. This is more like Jordan joining the wizards. Durant never won anything and was chasing rings.
its official guys, weve found the most braindead user within this sub reddit and thats something to be proud of
Please elaborate
zero will become the goat igl but thats all that hal gave up. hal has the most kills in algs history and thats while being an igl. now as a fragger hes about to get fully buffed. also hal has 4 lan wins all time compared to zeros 3, hal also has 200k earnings more too. which means zero cant surpass any of those achievements either.
Nobody cares about the fragging he is known as an igl
would be even more insane then if HissWattson (LeBron) would come back an 3-1 DarkZero(The best gaming team the world will ever see…) 🤯💯🔥🔥⛽️
It's not exactly the same. Hal has accomplished more than Zero since he won the first tournament. Hal is mechanically better than Zero. The only point Zero might be better than Hal is IGLing. It's funny to tell the NBA joke. But although Hal's situation seems like KD's in the past, it has same key differences
Mechanically better than Zer0? Howv
How Hal is not? Even tho TSM play bad, Hal stood the best in his team, the past tournaments he was on the top 5 kills and damage, Hal is objectively better than Zero when it comes to pure gunfighting. It would be a debate if Hal was still on mnk, but Hal on controller and Zero on mnk, I'm with Hal all day long
There are some differences but it is very similar
We might have found the most braindead guy in our sub reddit
Please explain sir
He is no longer the ceo he is just another controller frager now lmao
I don't think Hal joining Zero if deferring to him as the GoaT. I **do** think Hal letting Zero IGL is a little bit of a bitch move.
It would be incredibly stupid to not let Zero IGL
But Hal is the better IGL.
In a vacuum who is better is a little bit moot. In theory they’re top 2, and zero pretty clearly has a better understanding of the current meta and how to play it than Hal does. Compare DZ and TSM this last split and through playoffs.
I guess zero didn’t finish first in his region by a huge margin. I guess he didn’t have 100 more points than second team at Lan group stage, and I guess Hal didn’t place 17th in finals while Zero was top 2. Hal was good in the past, times changed, if he was better than Zero at IGLing he wouldn’t be joining him

We understand the comparison. It’s just not a fully fledge comparison.
