It's like when LeBron was made the go-to guy before even putting on a Cavs jersey. The difference is LeBron did well with his team and what did Durant do for his team? Get them to 2nd worst record instead of the worst?

Wow, what an accomplishment. Point is, you didn't understand my points because you don't understand this ball game. It's understandable. You're just another fanboy who doesn't know anything about basketball.
I don't think there's that much difference between LeBron's and Durant's rookie seasons. They both had sky-high expectations, they both were asked to carry bottom-feeder teams, the biggest differences being LeBron had a much better team around him (Boozer and Z at least) than Durant did and the Cavaliers weren't in the process of moving out of town. Neither made the playoffs as a rookie.

Horford had a great season but he wasn't expected to come in and turn the franchise around. Durant was- he didn't, but that wasn't his fault. Seattle's situation was unique to say the least, and beyond the ability of any one player to dictate in a positive way.
