DevdanSanguine:Does it matter if he joined an 81-1 team? Last I checked series starts at 0-0 so that narrative is tiresome KD's legacy will be fine with a couple more Championships. Your boy teamed up with 2 of the top 5 picks in his draft to form a Superteam. That's like MJ teaming up with Barkley and Olajuwon in 89/90. Nobody can justify Bron and vilify KD. That's hypocrisy |

A40:So what if the series starts at 0 0. Does that change the fact that his team is heads and shoulders above every other team? This whole comparison between bron and Kds decision is the most illogical reach in mainstream basketball. Let's compare these scenarios LeBron joined a non playoff team with wade and Chris bosh to beat a big three of 3 hall of famers in Boston because dan gilbert was wasting his talent. Take LeBron out of that team and that team is a low seed playoff team at best. They weren't even the best team in the east at the time let alone the NBA. If LeBron had joined the Celtics, then you can talk. KD joined a 73 win team that he blew a 3 1 lead against. A team touted as the greatest in NBA history without him. He took the easy way out. That's the softest move in NBA history. I am sick and tired of this ridiculous comparison by GSW sympathisers. He made a weak move, he knows it and that's why even with his championship he felt the need to create fake Twitter accounts to try to defend himself. Stop complaining when people call him out for what he did. You're the hypocrite here. |

Donlittle:They are par for the course. They are still in desperate need of outside shooting and till they get that sorted they will always struggle with the big boys. Khris Middleton is about the only decent long range shooter they have. It would be interesting to see what happens when they get Jabari back but he also is another slasher I also thought Bledsoe's addition would improve the team but it hasn't, which is strange because Bledsoe has actually been playing well |

DevdanSanguine:Why are you lying? |
| Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 6:03am On Dec 30, 2017 |
Donlittle:I never denied that these players were talented or that they were better than their draft mates but you're making the wrong comparisons. The probably would have won it in their original draft years but for them to start the next year and dominate the new draft class like Blake did and Simmons is doing now is not plausible. Especially given Blake Griffin current position and the trajectory of his growth. He had a great first year, rookies usually improve on that but Blake hardly did and that's because that year he had to develop factored into his improvement and performance in his first year. If Blake Griffin and John wall had started in the NBA at the same time there's no way Blake would beat john wall to ROTY and if he does not by the margin he did. You can't tell me a years head start doesn't factor into that. |
| Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 6:03am On Dec 30, 2017 |
It's amazing how ordinary the Warriors offense looks without Steph. When you are not doing something with ishan people tend to take it for granted |
| Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 6:05am On Dec 30, 2017 |
Donlittle:Little man, Wade was swept in the first round of the playoffs by their common foe, the celtics. |
| Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 6:08am On Dec 30, 2017 |
DevdanSanguine:Blake Griffin was still having Surgery January 2010.... Missing Basketball action, no contact, but the other guys were playing basketball, NCAA tournament, were in action, and blake still beat them out to ROTY. Please don't tell me nonsense, Season ends in May, He still had surgery in January, Limited contact i am sure. How on earth do you gain experience if you can barely practice? |
| Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 6:09am On Dec 30, 2017 |
DevdanSanguine:You said lebron joined a non playoff team... If he joined a non playoff team, how did miami get swept if they didn't make the playoffs? |
| Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 6:11am On Dec 30, 2017 |
DevdanSanguine:you are critisizing KD, all while praising Lebron that joined ship with two players in his class, two franchise players, and one a nba champion, and finals mvp. These stories write them selves to be honest |
| Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 6:18am On Dec 30, 2017 |
Donlittle:So what you bums keep saying is one year exposure in the NBA, watching other NBA players in practice and in play. Learning about team culture and tactics. Access to NBA coaches and equipment. All this doesn't give you an edge over fresh faces who have had just a few weeks of the same? Wow. Alright man, I'm done with this argument. If someone can't see something this obvious it's a miracle he doesn't swallow a spoon while eating someday. |
| Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 6:25am On Dec 30, 2017 |
Donlittle:First of all I'm not praising him, He didn't do anything right or wrong. The only bad thing about his decision was the TV special. Please don't take this as an insult because I swear to God I'm not even joking anymore but are you stupid? Look at what lebron was up against. 3 HOFs 3 allstars 3 franchise players. 3 NBA champions. 1 NBA Finals MVP. The greatest shooter of all time. And that's just in the east. He formed a team to try to beat them and he barely did. If LeBron had joined the Celtics then you can come here and spread your legs trying to defend KD but your argument as it is is retar ded. |
| Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 6:28am On Dec 30, 2017 |
Donlittle:Stop nitpicking and face the facts tiny man. Point is the team does not even begin to compare to the all time great 73 win championship/NBA final favorite team KD and his soft as- joined. Capiche? |
| Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 6:33am On Dec 30, 2017 |
DevdanSanguine:I know you people always get in touch with your feminine side whenever your king is attacked. Joning a non-playoff team? KG and Ray Allen joined the worst team in the league! A 17 win team and they became the best in 1 season so cut the crap! The Heat became the best team in the league the minute they were unveiled so don't shoot me no BS about the Heat not being a playoff team the previous year. Irrelevant Your LeQueen needed the help of two of the top 5 picks in his draft to beat old ass KG, Allen and Paul Pierce. Ray was 36. KG 35. Pierce was 34. These are the old ass niggas LeQueen assembled help to fight! And what's worse he even poached one of those old niggas so the Big Three became the Big Two! Point of correction. Greatest regular season team in history. Golden State did not beat a full strength Cleveland so it could be argued that they couldn't do it sans KD. You could call it a weak move same way I could call teaming up with the same players in your draft to form a Superteam a weak move. KD's only crime is not having a thick skin to deal with hypocritical Bronsexuals like yourself It's the height of hypocrisy to claim that LeQueen had a tougher road to the title, they both had help and orchestrated the best possible move at the time Like Draymond said. "You started the Superteam bro" |
| Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 6:35am On Dec 30, 2017 |
DevdanSanguine:All of these players in their 30s are still franchise players. Walahi, You lebron fans are something else, you right though, that is just in the east, because soon as he got in the west, he was dropping how many points in a quarter? 4 points? mkay. Lebron started the superteam, and KD perfected it. Simple. Ray Allen in 2010 was 35, KG was 34, paul pierce was 33 but okay o, franchise players. |
| Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 6:38am On Dec 30, 2017 |
Donlittle:Bronsexuals can't even get their facts straight. A team with Wade adds Bosh and Lebron never mind other role players that gave them depth. Yet they aren't the best. I can accept a Tim Duncan, Dirk or Kobe fan taking shots at KD but definitely not Lebron. |
| Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 6:38am On Dec 30, 2017 |
DevdanSanguine:ah bro, You lied, point blank period. All these yen yen yen yen you are typing is exactly as it is. Yen yen yen yen. You Lied, and this isn't the first time either |
| Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 6:41am On Dec 30, 2017 |
DevdanSanguine:And we are saying filth like this doesn't translate with how good you will be on the court. Ode. |

Donlittle: Perfect answer ![]() |
| Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 6:42am On Dec 30, 2017 |
A40:Lmao The guy na the most confused ninja for this earth. Same thing i always say, even a steph curry fan can take a shot at KD, but Lebron? on what grounds? That he switched teams to go win a ring? Kini iyato? Oshi o da ni ile pako. |
| Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 6:44am On Dec 30, 2017 |
Ol boy. If you are the kind that puts money on long shots you would crip walk to the bank today oo, Upsets everywhere |
| Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 6:45am On Dec 30, 2017 |
KD joined a super team and still hit daggers upon daggers on your favorite player in the NBA finals to win the finals mvp. Lebron joined a super team and lost to the dallas mavericks in 6 games all while dropping some chikolo four points in the fourth quarter. Not my GOAT sha. |
| Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 6:47am On Dec 30, 2017 |
Will be surprise if homeboy doesn't comes back with a username sha.... where is vivalabyke when you need him now ![]() |
| Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 6:47am On Dec 30, 2017 |
A40:I am telling you. But the NBA needs to do something about this replay rules sha. |
| Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 6:53am On Dec 30, 2017 |
A40:Of all the people here i didnt expect you too to be this nonsensical! Your last sentence said lebron started the super team, yet you talk of a super team started by this Big 3? LOL! I guess no absurdity is below shameless currysexuals! Whether they were the best team or not, thats debatable but they started from scratch and were on par with other teams yet every game was competitive. Lets compare that to KD Joining a 73 win team that was in the finals the same year and won the championship the year before? A team that was already the undisputed best in the league? Your LeQueen needed the help of two of the top 5 picks in his draft to beat old ass KG, Allen and Paul Pierce. Ray was 36. KG 35. Pierce was 34. These are the old ass niggas LeQueen assembled help to fight! And what's worse he even poached one of those old niggas so the Big Three became the Big Two!Yeah the same old men who swept Wades miami heat the year before yeah? the same old men who made it to the NBA finals and only lost in 7 games yeah? Fvck outta here! Point of correction. Greatest regular season team in history. Golden State did not beat a full strength Cleveland so it could be argued that they couldn't do it sans KD. You could call it a weak move same way I could call teaming up with the same players in your draft to form a Superteam a weak move.I thought you bums said the warriors lost because draymond got suspended? ![]() Dude, just stop it. KD blew a 3 1 lead against them, he couldnt beat them so he joined them! whats wrong with starting a team with your mates to beat a common foe especially when these teams were on par? You trying to compare these two scenarios is embarrassing, just stop it. KD's only crime is not having a thick skin to deal with hypocritical Bronsexuals like yourselfNaah man, his problem is currysexual golden state bandwagoners have deceived him into thinking he can make people ignore that he is nothing but a snake It's the height of hypocrisy to claim that LeQueen had a tougher road to the title, they both had help and orchestrated the best possible move at the timeNigga just STFU! No one knew what that miami team would be or how far it would go. The warriors team had won a championship and just lost in games in the finals. Take lebron out that miami team, heck put any other player there, what is it? Take KD out that warriors team and its still an NBA final/championship caliber team. KD didnt try to beat his foes, he joined them so his tough road ends there. The only thing tough for him is the decision and the ridicule he will face afterwards which he is getting now and rightfully so. Like Draymond said. "You started the Superteam bro"Wow, i see the donkey is your role model, a lot makes sense now. |
| Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 6:55am On Dec 30, 2017 |
Donlittle:I tire for Bronsexuals. Who would see that Miami Heatle team and not expect them to demolish those old ass Celtics. Shey na only Lebron get right to aspire for ring? Why didn't Dwight Howard in Orlando run to form his own super team? The double standards is nauseating. |
| Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 6:56am On Dec 30, 2017 |
Donlittle:KD Joined a bonafide super team. Lebron formed a championship team on par with a lot of teams in the league at the time. Heck they didnt even get the one seed. Ohh yeah he choked against the mavericks. However, i'm glad he was there to make sure the golden state warriors made history by being the first team to CHOKE a 3-1 lead in an nba final! ![]() |
| Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 7:01am On Dec 30, 2017 |
A40:Another ret arded argument. Well it took them 7 games. KDs case wasnt about expectation or speculation but facts, the warriors had already owned the west. Lebron saw his contract out. Howard was under contract and later on asked requested for a trade and ended up with Kobe. Nice try thou... not really! |
