The LeBron-KD rivalry remains one-sided, but the sides have changed

CLEVELAND - For nine years, Kevin Durant played wonderful games against LeBron James, his growth over the years moving alongside James' own development into one of the game's greatest ever.

The two MVPs played 21 times in that span, and it was a beautiful matchup. They both averaged 29 points against each other, shot almost the exact same percentage, and were close in rebounds. They played in Finals games against each other, guarding one another in vital moments.

And the tally was James 17 wins to Durant's four, including a lopsided 2012 Finals where James got his first title and Finals MVP.
