See ehn, KD has come a long way.
All that post season hustle at a young age vs Spurs, Memphis, Miami, Dallas, Lakers.

NBA MVP: 2014
NBA Champion: 2× (2017, 2018) | Finals MVP: 2× (2017, 2018) if e reach your turn no add am
Scoring titles: 4 freaking times (2010, 2011, 2012, 2014)
All-Star: 15x
All-NBA: 11x
Rookie of the Year: 2008

He did most of these consistently when you had to work for every point not now when no one can't breathe around you. Dude straight up just comes to play and go home. No flopping, flailing or looking for loopholes in the rule. He just plays.

People need to be realistic abeg.



And for you and your OKC boys, I honestly didn't care too much about you guys last season but good lord what are those boys doing now??
I hope your boys break the Warriors regular season record. I don't think I want you guys to win a championship if you break the record.
The disrespect will be too much. They will come and put asterisks on Steph, Klay and Draymond's legacy grin

And for real, fans like you deserve to be happy (just a little bit sha) for real. People like us, we be old taker. All my hope in the Warriors died when they let Draymond get away with harassing KD and punching J.Poole.
You're shying from the truth.

There was an asterisk on Steph curry's career until he won the last title in 2022.

At that point he had won 2 MVPs (one of which was unanimous), two scoring titles, several all stars yet he had to show his first title without durant wasn't a fluke.

The Greatest fact that supports the argument that another title will change Durant's legacy is that it will immediately move him up from being Top 15 to top 7 or top 5 all time.
That's a massive Jump.

You mean Steph, Klay and Durant's legacy. Draymond is the original 419, guy man has fleeced you guys, imagine what other player you could have gotten with the contract he stole from yall. You know whats even crazier, the real franchise player had no beef with Durant. It was the loud mouth triple single guy, make it make sense! It does make sense actually, because Curry failed to understand leadership must be vocal, otherwise it will not be effective. They could have kept Durant and won at least one more. Well sha, enjoy your sufferings, I hope yall enjoying Mrs Curry these days lol

I have been vocal about Draymond over the years especially the last 4. I even got burned for saying we should have kept KD and let him and Klay go. I'm over him at this point; the front office isn't. As for Steph, I've said it several times too; he sends contented with letting his remaining years just be like "mehh". They will be alright.

And he delivered only one banner with that roster after keeping us above the 2nd apron for 3 years abi?

You don hear about the Michigan Football (NCAA) Head coach wahala?
Hahaha guys like MJ,Kobe,Steph, Shaq,Bron,Duncan have made championships look easier than they should be. That shit is hard. I know you hold that Heat loss over his head but he was a rookie coach. He's a baby in coach years still

That Michigan coach. All I can do is shake my head. Guys need to understand simpin takes many forms, risking your money, freedom and family for pumpum is also a form of simpin. You're a black man ffs, your scrutiny will be different in matters like this. Plus I'm sorry I've not seen a pumpum worth $5m per annum. For the next 8 years! That's what you risked? For some poosie??

What perplexes me is he somehow went above and beyond to make a bad situation even worse. I've seen the woman he cheated with, after 3 kids that woman will not be any different from his wife. Ime Udoka situation happened less than 3 years ago. Like wtf is wrong with these guys? Pumpum is simply not that serious

If the wife was going to forgive him before she would be crazy to do so now. A man that wanted to commit murder-suicide? It's now a safety matter and not even a moral one atp. Just ridiculous headloss. I will be shocked if he is allowed near a high school coaching sideline

I don't know that I even agree with that. Heck if Jokic somehow wins another chip I would put him over KD right now

Jordan,LeBronze,Kobe,Kareem,Magic,Bill,Shaq,Duncan,Bird,Wilt,Steph,Olajuwon,Zeke,Dirk

How many people on this list will another title put KD above? 2 or 3 max and I doubt KD can be the best player on a title winning team atp

Spurs will be a big problem

Very big problem. OKC thought they were coasting until they brought the big boys back, Wemby, Castle, Vassel and Fox. Those 4 are problems for the future.

Werey don throw INT.
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 9:16am On Dec 15, 2025
Disgraceful display by the refs in the Lakers vs Suns game. This is Tim Donaghy levels. Clear foul on Brooks and they ejected him. If you want the Lakers to win say that and save people their hard earned money

43-25 FT disparity
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 2:46am On Dec 16, 2025
Someone needs to take a chance at Sam Cassel as head-coach.
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 3:41am On Dec 16, 2025
JB’s FT struggles are continue to hold him back. He really needs to work on his FT.
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 4:29am On Dec 16, 2025
Ehen. This is the Rodgers I want to see.

Hopefully the Patriots or Jags are 5th seed so we can avoid Josh Allen or that Texans defense
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 4:31am On Dec 16, 2025
And shame. Parsons and Mahomes torn ACL.

They will definitely miss parts of next season as well most likely.

Have you seen that Broncos Orange Rush? Those cats are legit? Sean Payton has those guys playing some of the best defense I have seen in a very long time!

Gutted for Parsons. He was coming alive and it’s a big shame we lost him.
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 6:01am On Dec 16, 2025
Amen Thompson does everything well but score the ball. He is slowly developing into an offensive liability for the Rockets. He has had open shots but can’t make buckets or decides to give it up because he is scared of taking shots. He is still young and can develop some offense.

I suspect Bo Nix turning him like amala all game long played a role in that injury
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 2:47pm On Dec 16, 2025
Flagg is going to be generational. He is figuring the game out. To think the kid is only 18. Youngest ever to drop 40

Once he masters 3pt spamming. There would be blood

And shout out to Jokic. Another masterclass. 39pt triple dub. He's carrying that team without Gordon and Braun two of their best defenders. THJ has been a very useful addition.

I don't see any reason why Jokic shouldn't be MVP if they finish within 7 games of OKC. Only 4.5 games separate them thus far

Don't ruin the small compliment wey I give am with this 🐐 fallacy

The Broncos are a problem. Picking up Hufanga and Greenlaw from the Niners and the they have the best Corner in the league and DPOY Surtain. There's also this erroneous talk that Bo Nix can't play and they quote nonsense stats to back it up like we don't watch the actual games. Every game I've seen him play he's cooked vs Eagles, Cowboys, Chiefs and now Packers

Make e win that division and carry una past 1st round of playoff, na that time you see me..

They have some studs on that defensive roster. I’d say this about Bo..Sean has a lot to do with how well he is playing. Payton has simplified the offense. He also allows him to express himself.
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 8:20am On Dec 19, 2025
Steph and the Warriors when that 3ball is not falling mehn. They look absolutely putrid

Till then. You're forgetting if he wins I win. As long as he's wearing black and gold I have rooting interest

You also need to factor that perhaps Bo is best suited for his playing style. There's a reason he ate the biggest cap hit in history just to get rid of Russ.

All those years in college means he's more NFL ready than any other QB in his draft. Plus what he lacks in ability he possesses in intangibles. All the big close games and come from behind wins tells me a lot about his mentality. Eagles, Giants, Chiefs, Packers. All come from behind and he made all the throws
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 12:16pm On Dec 21, 2025
Ooof. That's got to hurt. Roland. How did your Packers blow that game away.

Jeez man can we even trust y'all to do a job on those abominable Ratbirds next week?

You have no idea how upset I went to bed last night. I mean, we did everything to hand them the game. From fumbling the onside kick to the disgraceful TOs in OT. I was still confident even after Love went down. Some really bad play calls and game management by Matt.
