Yeah everyone said the same thing before they won it and now that it’s been debunked, you’re still refusing to let go. Goodluck

The KDs stans on this group have gone quiet.

Only you get problem with Westbrook and OKC, Draymond and the warriors, Low-key beefing Steph from your burner accounts, beefing Kyrie from your burner, Beefing harden, beefing Brooklyn nets, beefing phoenix suns, you're not even a full season into your Houston rockets tenure you don they thrash your team mates.

Great basketballer, poor leader and a very insecure person.

There is no need to pull down one player to make another look good. KD's issue with a young rockets team is expected.

Which kind fanboy analogy be this? Who is being made to look good but pointing out the irresponsible actions of KD.
You're supposed to be the leader in the team, even if you have frustrations with some of the young players is it on social media you should be airing them?
What happened to calling them out in the locker room?
And oh somehow you have frustrations with everyone you have ever played with.

Like I said, great player, poor and insecure leader and that's why he hasn't be able to "lead" a team to the title by himself.

you want it to look like KD was the issue in golden state dont you? There is no proof on this twitter thing, so you are on a long thing there.

And go look again, he is leading the team. They playing different after his open criticisms, not twitter nonsense

If no be say I don see your post for here before and you usually make sense, I for no reply you grin
Who mentioned golden state agenda now?

Someone had issues at OKC, Golden state, Brooklyn nets, Phoenix suns and now is yabbing his teammates with burner accounts at Houston but na golden state be your problem. It shows where your bias is at.
Out of all those teams, the only place he's guaranteed a statue and Jersey retirement is golden state and you think Golden state is his problem?

KD needs to grow tf up. I kinda see now why Draymond got in his face and called him the B-word. Certain things you should look people in the eye and say if you ever want respect amongst men

If he fails to as much as get to another conference final game after hopping from loaded team to team we're going to have some touchy conversations about where he stands in the pantheon of all-timers
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 2:20am On Feb 24
How the hell is Tatum only weeks from return. What are they giving these athletes today grin

I'm surprised no one is mentioning Jaylen Brown in the MVP conversations. The Celts were projected to win 41 games. They are trending for 55. There should be a real conversation now about who is actually better Jaylen or Jayson (I'm leaning towards Jaylen btw)

Fair enough. But there is too much noise and rumors. and its just that right now. Rockets are where I want them to be, starting second half of season. This team is young, and needs that poke tbh

Lebron comes back from injury and the chemistry suddenly gets ruined.

I don't think the Lakers can survive fielding three passengers on defense (Lebron, Doncic and Reaves) against a solid team.

We know who has to leave soon.
Lakers suddenly playing well today, guess who's absent grin
Re: The NBA Begins by greypencils: 10:03am On Mar 09
At this point, the NBA world is expecting Spurs to win the title. Prior to the back-to-back games against OKC, the media was all about Shai. Wemby came and buried all that Shai hype. See as everywhere quiet na.

Bam Adebayo doing the lord's work. 83 points against Wizards. Kobe be smiling down from heaven.

History will have it that LeBron played in the Finals against a guy who's capable of scoring 83 points in a game grin

Re: The NBA Begins by steady986(m): 11:32am On Mar 13
I hate how media people, fans and ex players are trying to separate Bam's performance from the circumstances surrounding it. Those two things can't be mutually exclusive. You can't tell me to celebrate the historical performance that Bam had, and in the same breath tell me that the circumstances were unethical. And the funniest (and not shocking) are the people who didn't find anything wrong with the performance.

And you can't tell me that history won't remember the circumstances behind the performance. First of all, we all remember Kobe's performance. There are video footages for evidence. We know Wilt had 100 even though the only people that have watched the performance are the people who were in the arena that night. When those performances get brought up, there's really never a controversy about them, but Bam's performance won't be like that. In 30 years time, ask anyone about this game and they'd tell you the details of how it happened. As long as there has been video evidence and widespread media coverage, it won't be forgotten.

Make I bend say Kobe dey smile. He'd be ashamed of what was done to the game of basketball.
Re: The NBA Begins by SmooshCHN: 12:39pm On Mar 13
So the problem now is that he scored 83 in an unethical way.

Una no serious. Control your destiny or stfu. The Wizards chose to allow him have 83. He played within the NBA rules so all that nonsense "unethical" narrative should be thrown out the window. If anything, the Wizards should be ashamed of themselves; not Bam or his Teammates.

Don't do Kobe Bryant like that. He wouldn't give two shíts. Kobe would gladly drop 81 on you and then salute anyone who dropped 83 because he knows nobody would ever disrespect him like that; not even Bron Bron would get 70 on him. grin MJ called Bam after that game. It's how those guys think.

He wouldn't let anyone drop 83 on him or his teammates. Kobe"s pride is too big to let that happen.

If I'm being precise, he would call the Wizards "Soffft" every f*cking time.

That's why I was saying we shouldn't separate the performance from the circumstance. Imagine working your ass off to score huge amounts of points to get your own record and then someone comes along and is handed it on a platter. Nah man

Lmao. If you follow baseball, there's a point in a game when coaches put in a position player to pitch. That's despite having fit pitchers they can throw in. At this point, nothing any hitter does really matters. In fact in response, teams usually take out their main starters and bring in bench guys because they don't want to be a part of that insult. It's like matching shite with shite.

That's what the majority of this game looked like: a shite show

The Wizards and their head coach should hang their head in shame.

Bam didn't break any rules. Worst part is, if this happened with LeBron, you would have a totally different take.

If this happened with LeBron, the entire world will be spitting fire by now grin There would be far more media outrage than what you're seeing. Fans would be on each other's throats. Outrage is only reduced because it is Bam and he seems like a likable player, and also because he took something away from a Lakers legend. Everybody hates the Lakers so it's all fair game.
Re: The NBA Begins by steady986(m): 6:51pm On Mar 15
Lakers vs Nuggets is always a great game to watch regardless of who wins.

I like how you pretended to give a direct answer. If LeBron Jame had dropped 80 in that fashion, I know for sure you would be glazing him by now. You wouldn't even give two shíts about Kobe's legacy or how he got 81. So just stop with the hypocrisy.

Only one person should be made the bad guy here and it's the Washington Wizards. Simple as ABC.

Bro, it was handed to kobe on a platter in the same way. Once guys saw a record coming, they passed him the ball every time. And, was it knicks?, but they too plyed into the moment. No one is scoring 80 pts in a 48 minute nba game without some cooking on all sides
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 12:12pm On Mar 18
Unnecessary outrage about the Bam game. Obviously 43 FTs is nasty work. Was the hoops ethical? No. But at the end of the day it's not that deep.

He had one good night not like it's going to elevate him to the HOF or anything

However games like this when it becomes the norm people will start asking if these games are even real.

I think you can question how he got to the 83 without acting like they committed a war crime

I asked Bro if he would take this stuff so personal if Bron has 80. I still haven't gotten a response.

He didn't break any basketball rule. It's not that deep. All blames should be directed to the Wizards who allowed it happen.

So this is the Luka experience Mavericks fans were scared of losing when Luka was traded to LA cheesy grin

Luka Doncic is that guy. An absolute showman. The highest of superstars. I know I've experienced Bron and Kobe but this is up there too. No wonder the Lakers were licking their lips when the Mavs picked up that phone grin Which makes me wonder why they didn't rip the Lakers off for picks and players. How on earth is Austin Reaves not a member of the Dallas Mavericks? cheesy
