Add Andre Iggy to that list of recruiters. This right here and it annoys me that people and mainstream media intentionally leave out the fact that they all sought him. The chase for KD intensified immediately after the Warriors choked a 3-1 lead to lose game 7. After the Game 7 loss, Dray called his GM from the freaking parking lot about getting KD! I mean come on...If that is not even insulting on Curry and Klay then I don't know what is. After he got off the call with Meyers, he called KD before they got themselves together to visit with him at his hotel and sold the idea to him.

People wey dey craze. The man came from a devastating injury that potentially shortened his career. Shredded his Achilles and people are still yarnin dust. Even Warriors fans.

I won't say KD has been innocent in all of this too with his passive aggressive nonsense but people need to stop pretending like the Warriors didn't need KD to be an undeniable dynasty

They could have gone for absolutely anyone else but they aggressively pursued Kevin. All of this is lost in their poor attempt at shithousery. He got there and was the star of the team. No amount of long talk will erase that

Blueelf:
Another hater spotted



This one is a bronsexual in disguise

Me Bronsexual?

Who is going to tell him?

benji93:
We troll him for joining and when he leaves, we troll him again. Things you see in sports.

Na Bronsexuals still dey cry till now oh. Like say he did an Osaze and pulled up to their facility unprovoked. Like the entire GSW brass didn't fly from Oakland to the Hamptons to beg him to join them.

If you dey work for Toyota. If Elon Musk call you come offer you stocks and better payment deal you no go port?

Lebron went to an ok team with another superstar (Wade) and a very good role player (Bosh). Without Lebron, Celtics/Pistons would have come out of ECF instead of Heat. And year 1 they still lost to a more complete Mavs team, showing they had to go back to drawing board. That pain allows Lebron to feel like he put in blood sweat and tears.

Lebron fans trying to justify 3 top draft picks forming in their prime will never not be funny to me. Who never fvck up hands in the air? No hands

Alaye was the competitive balance of the league altered or not?

Lebron went from 1 Finals appearance in 7 years to 4 straight Finals. Because he formed a super team!

Chris Bosh was not a role player. He was a franchise player that led his team twice to the post season. He was a 22-9 guy. Add that to a Wade who Finals MVP and scoring champ that had led his team to multiple deep runs in the playoffs

Can Draymond and Klay Thompson lead a team to the playoffs? Even Steph we saw him with just Draymond and they couldn't make the playoffs

birdman:
Durant went to arguably the best team in the league, with the best scoring duo in NBA history. A team that bounced him the previous year. And he left without telling his partner in crime. Advice that you do not take when young, you will eat of it when you are old. Thats why he's fighting on twitter. That move, and the way the move was done was not kosher. It allowed Durant to jumpshoot his way to an easy ring, they flogged Cavs like small boy. And the older Durant now knows, it wasnt as sweet as it should be.

It cant be as sweet as Giannis winning with the Bucks. Lai lai.

Durant simply took one step further what Lebron started.

Also a key detail butthurt fans keep leaving out. The Warriors recruited him. He didn't ask to join them. They begged him to come.

Durant's fvck up is being too sensitive to people's criticism instead of embracing the villain role. Also his babysitting of divas like Kyrie made them lose the chance to finish with a higher seed and go further in the playoffs. People forget the Nets were #1 seed before KD got injured

Whatever any hater wants to say they are not a dynasty without him. And if they lose to Boston again then it would beg the question. Are they really that team without him?

I've never understood the trolling of KD joining the Warriors. Troll the Warriors and Steph for recruiting him instead. One would think Steph, Klay and Draymond didn't fly to Durant's house to convince him to join them.

Like he just showed up to their facility and begged to join them. Didn't they recruit him? Was he the only free agent available?

raumdeuter:
The below is from former Liverpool player Didi Hamman

Lol. I don't like to drag him cos he's a Bayern alumni. But I've seen Thiago ghost too many big games I've never seen him dominate when we face any midfield with similar quality. We saw him do absolutely nothing on Saturday and I was not even surprised.

I hope we just get Mane from Liverpool. Even if we can get two good seasons from him I'm content. That man is their engine in attack and they are going to miss him sorely

budaatum:
Not confident at all. Like last year deflated him. I feel for him so much.

I've always said he didn't know how to set a car up and it's now showing, and is why Mechanic Michael Schumacher is my idol after Senna.

Get your hands greasy, Ham! This is where you get to show character.

For where? He's an excellent driver no doubt when he has the equipment but I've never understood the argument of him being GOAT over Schumacher. Anyway this season will shed more light. Me I already know who he is without the fastest car. Can't finish higher than 4th. This year fit no finish for top 5

raumdeuter:
We wey sabi Thiago for almost a decade vs someone wey just stumble on night market Thiago

Be like person wey stumble on babe wey you date for 7 years come dey tell you say she be this and that you no go just dey laugh?

Lewandowski is really talking greasy. Anyways let Barca pay up. I don't mind Lewa leaving at all. He's 34 and we need someone that will actually show up in the big CL games. He's not done that lately

budaatum:
I expect Hamilton to get a couple of wins this season. The sport needs it so they might engineer a win for him somehow. But that car is a lemon which might not be fixed any time soon and I just don't see Hamilton doing a dedicated Raikkonnen.

Can't realistically see Hamilton winning a race unless Max and Leclerc crash out in the same race. It's going to take something wacky like that to happen

He's not as confident as he used to be when he had the fastest car on the grid. You can see small boy George Russell outperforming him. He's 75 pts behind Max even with two DNFs for Max

Something is wrong with these Celtics

Why is Udoka challenging? No way they are reversing that. 5th foul on Brown

Spinaroonie. Congrats Celtics

Unlimited22:
Omo this isn't the full picture but this GIF funng

Who was he marking there? My grandma's ghost?

Point and kill defender

Lol this is such a weird series man. All I know is Golden State is going to torch either of these teams. Barbecue chicken

budaatum:
He wanted to save his engine in Spain, which made me think he's done like a worn part and needs replacement.

He surely marked the end of an amazing career, in my opinion.

Let's see if he can outperform his teammate never mind compete for anything

Hahahaha all I know is the one season Hamilton does not have the fastest car in the grid he's sunk down the standings like okuta. Even George Russell is outperforming him now

Where is that Liverpool noisemaker fan. You can see in another big game how Thiago disappears like Rent-a-ghost

Those two late missed free throws by Brown

Jayson Tatum dodging the smoke and letting Marcus Smart take more shots than him is what led to this kpenkelemes.

Jimmy Butler showing how to keep your team alive. Took 30 shots.

That's how you do it with the series on the line. You empty the clip

Can't even predict what happens next. Miami can still lose by 20 in Game 7

Superb ball movement on those last 2 3's by Boston

These refs should allow this game flow nau abeg. Which kin main character syndrome be this

Golden State go dey lick lips like LL. Them go beat any of these two teams like thief

Lol these Celtics are not even serious

Make that 12 straight

This is why Jaylen Brown is so dangerous. On his own from time to time he can go on those little 8-0 scoring runs within 2 minutes. Heat lead don evaporate

In the end that Game 2 loss was just insurmountable. We're having a completely different series if they don't blow that lead but ultimately the Warriors have too many horses.

Steph
Klay
Wiggins
Poole

It's almost impossible for all 4 to have a bad shooting night. And with Kevon Looney turning to prime Rodman the Mavs never had a prayer.

Mark Cuban needs to go all out and get a big. Maybe 2. Rebounds are the easiest of all stats to pad. There's no excuse to get as badly outrebounded as they did

birdman:
Body of work beats one game here and there. Lebron struggling and overcoming the Pistons, and the Celtics was defining imho, even before going to the Heat. I need to see Luka put in that body of work over time as well. In order to generate news, people like to anoint people to early - but you gotta put in the time first.

But in a 7 year span I showed you that Lebron did not beat any team as good as a 64 win Suns team in his first 7 years in the league. He only beat one team that won 50+ games before joining the Heat. I know you guys are quick to overhype that Finals run but as far as body of work. Lebron's only notable feat before joining the Heat was beating a 53 win Detroit team

birdman:
By the same tokem, Giannis has put in the time, and now has a ring. But other than Shaq, he never really gets the accolades. I think he is closer to best player in the league than Luka at this point.

Giannis is a made man. The only reason he's not getting his due accolades is because he's not American. The man brought a chip to goddamn Milwaukee at 26. Let that sink in

After winning a DPOY and two MVPs. Mentioning Luka alongside him is laughable

This place don quiet oh. Shey na because Lewis don dey cast? No fastest car for grid so no show

Don't give it up y'all season still young nau

There's also strong rumors about Mane. Are you keen on Mane? He's my favorite player in Liverpool but man's 30 and we don't even know if that's football age.

All I know is we need to make wholesale changes with that squad. There's a certain staleness to it or perhaps it's Nagelsmann's dodgy tactics but I don't want him to have any excuses this time so let him spend

Strus, Lowry, Robinson combined for 3 of 22 from 3

Ohh the evils of 3pt spamming. The way it abandons you when you need it most

Lol. The Heat don't even have enough defense to hang. The Celtics have just been playing with their food. This series should have been over in 5

Celtics are just the better team. Its evident. This should have been the closeout game if they were not faffing around earlier in the series

benji93:
Shut up and learn. The point is you said never achieved in 10 years what Luka has achieved in 4. He got to the finals in 2006 and lost 4-2. I can only beat what's in front of me. Luka is yet to get to the finals. Very very simple fact. You rate a guy just based on his individual performance? How much a guy has to work with is quite subjective, especially when the players in question are not stars. No player on Dirk's team was even an all-star in 2006, and yet he got to the finals.

Don't mind him. He always has a relentless need to be right.

Instead of just agreeing he phrased his words poorly due to exuberance and zealousness. He found himself in a hole and kept digging. Listing individual accomplishments as proof he had done more for the Mavs
