Lebron/Durant is a personal opinion
Both are all time greats, but there are many things Durant does better, in my opinion. He is more efficient, a better shooter, better defender, shot blocker, and he doesn't take possessions off on defense. If he had Jordan's killer instinct, he would be considered the greatest ever. Obviously, I think a legitimate argument can be made for Lebron being better. As for Green/Love, I agree with you that you cannot fully measure Green's importance by stats alone. That being said, the stats in the series are lopsided, so far, in Love's favor. Another problem with Lebron, is that he is so ball dominant, that his teammates consistently underperform while playing with him, because they just stand around and watch him drive. ESPN ran an article this week showing analytics measuring how Lebron's new teammates have underperformed by 6.3% since he rejoined the Cavs in 2014. Warriors new teammates are outperforming their projections. Unfortunately for Love, he has been reduced to a spot up shooter while playing with Lebron. I am not saying you are wrong in your beliefs, but as a former coach, I tend to look at things differently than most others. For what it's worth, I would take all 4 players on my team.
