What is this cat talking about? AJ has one more fight on DAZN after which would require a renewal. Stop making it sound like these guys are signing away their destinies or some weird shyte like that. Wilder has just himself to blame here, the Ruiz/Miller debacle does not happen if he didn't negotiate himself out of their first fight. We would right now be looking at a Wilder-AJ trilogy potentially or at least a two fight deal

Whatever your point is one was caught on the dope and one wasn't. And if the issue with AJ is his chin then I don't know what steroids you can use that makes you possess a tougher chin. I don't believe anyone watches that fight and suggests AJ lost because of his inability to dope. Smh

If Ruiz cements himself as a juggernaut a unification bout might be just as big especially if wilder keeps making waves. Fvck Eddie Hearn and his muppet. Wilder will be fine.


LMAO! Steroids help your reflexes and speed and cardio. Reflexes can help a persons chin in the sense that the punches you see coming rarely knock you out. Your man not only looked slow but gassed. Anyone who knows anything about human anatomy and body building and followed flex mentallos transformation will tell you something is off. The juice head had better run along back to where he can legally dope and be protected. And if he ever crosses to the US again best know wilder will send him into early retirement.

i slept on this. And I thought about it again. Nah, lets talk true...what GS did here was evil. And as I have been checking other athletes comments, everyone is saying the same thing.

If they knew KD was going to be a warrior next season, they would not have let him play.

Whatever class and goodwill warriors management had is gone with this move. Crying on stage cant absolve the Machiavellian move they made here.

I fault Durant for being too trusting, too eager. But warriors did a number on this guy.

You are one of the few reasonable people on here so let us listen to what an expert had to say on the issue.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KVniOBXOQ-g

The Warriors would never have let KD play if his first injury was an Achilles scare. Boogie whom everyone knows will not be here next season was not rushed so it is unfair to say they pulled a Machiavellian move on KD.

I was of the opinion that KD was not going to leave and nothing the media were saying could change my mind. They were the ones just hellbent on forcing him out.

There is nobody who would let him suffer an Achilles because he was going to leave. If he decides to take the player option he still gets $31.5M and can rest the whole year claiming he is healing. The warriors gain nothing. If he signs the max or super max, he gets $221M for 5 years and still may not play for 6-12months so how would they gain?

Remember, there was nothing at least by my observation that indicated he wanted to leave. Nothing. He also had his own doctors who cleared him. That is something most people don't want to admit. That his own doctors cleared him. Not just GSW doctors.

When you call yourself an online Jihadi and I see you exhibiting some weird tendencies then the comparisons will come. It is good you distance yourself from degenerates like that. We are making progress

I don't have a sensitive bone in my body. And if you knew me at all you would know my tolerance for Feminazi and misandrist behavior is nil because I know first hand they are bad for your health. However when you say stupid shyte like what you alluded to above, you kinda understand why they are so mad

You might have been forward then but you're backward now because clearly a lot of you didn't evolve and move with the times. Imagine in 2019 someone can confidently type a woman's place being in the kitchen.

The Brits screwed you over? You must be having a laugh! Your part of the country has produced the most leaders, you have the most arable land but thanks to this nonsense mentality and a culture that has enabled nonces and general maltreatment of women the Northern part of the country is behind on Education, Health and every other indices that determine the quality of life of any people. Smh


And you've been brainwashed by the media into thinking jihad is necessarily a bad word and you're too much of a bint to find out what it really means for yourself.

Like feminazis need a reason to get mad. Keep reading drivel online about the north and keep believing that shiit. Mind you, there was a time when the north only had female leaders. May not be the same now but what exactly do you think is going on here? You think we are on some handmaidens tale shiit? LOL

Granted our hubris has put us in a strange position cause we felt we were better than what anyone had to offer but even now without being educated i'm proud of who we are as a unit and we will continue to improve because we know what the root of our issue is. But you lot claim to be educated and yet i've been to the south, its sucks arse. You know a very funny thing happened a few days ago, i was on a cross state journey to an international airport and we stopped by some village to pray. I cant explain what i saw there for you but as a pessimist even i can say if thats a microcosm of whats going on in this country there will be better days ahead. They say cockroaches and twinkies will survive a holocaust, we are a little bit of both.

And i'm glad you brought the issue of leaders into this. The only good leader the country ever had you lot killed and cursed us with bad leaders for eternity. Of course the north will naturally have more leaders being the majority but every region has enough autonomy to decide its own faith. You have your senators and governors and if they like all the others werent so corrupt dont you think you'd be better off?

We know our problems, we are addressing our problems, you think you have all the keys and you still suck almost as bad as us so what could be wrong?

I'm still iffy on the caliber of guys Walker has faced. More scared of Santos, the way he put down Smith and especially Manuwa still makes me shudder

I'm excited for the santos fight cause i feel its the jon jones rumble johnson fight we never got but he doesnt offer anything more than evans, glover and more recently smith offer, a right hand hay maker and we all know how that ended for them. You need power to beat jones cause you cant out smart him or beat his technique but walker seems to be the only one long and explosive enough to offer a challenge. I'll give rockhold an outside chance as well only because of his kicks, no one seems to want to be able to get to bones' chicken legs, and no one has rockholds ground and pound game at LHW. Santos i give no chance at all.

See why I said comprehension?

They asked him whose decision it was to let KD play. He detailed how doctor's cleared him, KD wanted in and how Kerr approved but that the final buck stops at his table so they can put the blame on him.

If a recently recovering player gets another injury people will always ask, why did he start? Was he ready? etc etc

They did so game 4 for Klay.

My heart goes out to KD, wishing him the best. For those like kellerman who think this should detract teams from giving him the max, I humbly beg to disagree.
KD's skill set means that at the worst what this injury will cost him is a bit of explosiveness, from the 12 minutes he played in game 5 I saw a peek into what at the very worst KD will become and that is a prime Dirk, purely a perimeter and elbow/ post killer.
So For the opportunity of having prime Dirk playing for your team for 3 years, that in it self is worth swallowing the first year payday.

For you to say that a post-achilles injury KD is the equivalent of a prime Dirk is an insult to Dirk himself. But that doesn't mean he can't be effective as a scorer, but having this kind of injury at 30 years, it would only be a gamble if any team offers him the max contract. Look how much Cousins is earning after his own injury. How many teams offered him the max. Do you think he wasn't worth a max prior to his injury?

KD would be 31 this year for heaven's sake, and he'll be 32 by the time he begins to play at a level close to elite(which is still a probability). And he can't get any better, the only way from there is downhill

The only good deal KD can get is to exercise his player option and earn 31 mil while doing nothing.

You have to have a type of brain deficiency to call the Warriors a classless organization after being transparent with KDs situation. Hate has sipped into your skull and you don't know it yet. These same people will still have something to say if KD had dropped 40. They'll say we didn't clear him because we wanted to prove we can win without him.
The Celtics weren't classless when Isaiah Thomas aggravated his right femoral-acetabular impingement injury with labral tear cos the doctors said he was fine to play. His doctors probably kept mute because they knew his pay day was coming and the Celtics were fine with it. They even agreed readjuste the trade when the Cavs knew who's bad his injury was. Danny Ainge wasn't going to pay him and subsequently traded him to the Cavs and we call it business. We knew how it ended.

But the Warriors saying KD's health is more important than championship after he missed 32 days in the playoffs is a lie right? Allowing Kevin play because he wanted to after being cleared by his doctors and the warriors medical team to come back was classless. Right?

KD had a calf strain at first. It takes 3-6weeks depending on how bad the strain was. KD took 32 days off and was cleared after series of practice. Up to me, he wouldn't have played like I said hours before the game. The Calf muscles are connected to the Achilles tendon. If he had a strain and recovered, you'll still be taking a risk on the achilles. But players have played this same way without any injury. It's only bad because it got complicated.
Down 3-1 complicated everything. KD even on his death bed will always want to play. The same media saying the warriors were holding him back to prove they can win without him are the ones saying the Warriors shouldn't have brought him back. Talk of double standard just because it's the Warriors. He wanted to play, was cleared by the medical team including his, the coach was fine with it and Bob Myers was the last person in line to say yes or no and he made the decision. Bob Myers made it known KD's health was first. He has to consider KD's wish as well as the medical team. The same media will punish KD till death if the warriors win without him and being KD, I'm sure this was why he was eager to return. Class is taking responsibility for your actions. KD took responsibility, the team did as well. It's the media and the opposing fans who are now playing devil's advocate that have a problem.

This is what i am saying, he shouldn't have. But i believe this has more to do with KD and knowing the media, the headline will end up with "could KD have played but chose not to leading to warriors being eliminated in 5"?

I don't think KD could have handled that tho. Regardless, i am of the opinion that he shouldn't have played at all.

All this your rant is what every delusional GS supporter would rant. You all are just blind to the facts.

Even Kendrick Perkins that is known to always support everything the Warriors do is blaming them. Did you know that KD didn't have even one full contact practice? Who does that? Why would he fail to have a full contact practice if he was ready? Perhaps he was told to be doing only spot up shooting(which is probably why he made 3 3s in the first quarter. The first time he tried to dribble the ball his Achilles popped.

Let me ask you, if the Warriors were 3-1 up, would KD have been risked for this game? This was pure selfishness on the part of the Warriors.

You're so desperate you failed to read and understand. Kevin Durant practiced with the team before the game. Stop lying to paint the Warriors bad on one mistake. I hold the organization responsible as well as Bob Myers only because he's the GM but he can only go as far as listening to the medical team and Kevin Durant. But to say the organization is classless is just foolishness and desperation.

An athlete's ability to recover from injury is usually dependent on their physical condition. Boogie has never been in prime physical condition through out his career and it showed during his recovery and his play since he came back.
KD's conditioning on the other hand has always been top notch, in game 5 after nearly a month out his run out for 12 minutes was as if he had not left at all.
The difference between prime Dirk and Prime KD is KD's explosiveness and ability to put the ball on the floor and beat guys easily off the dribble. The ACL will only reduce his explosiveness and nothing more. With KD's skill set and a determination to prove himself after injury I reiterate that the worst that will happen is a KD at prime Dirk. Unless anyone somehow believes he will suddenly forget how to shoot the ball like Ball and Fultz.

Ha ba baba, the host of the show is not an expert. He called the expert who gave factual reasons as to why the first injury was clearly a calf strain. Starting from the way he landed. How straight his legs were and the motion they observed from him before game 5. He made it abundantly clear that it could not have been an Achilles.

The same expert then concluded that the second injury was one but not a rupture and even went as far as saying it looked like a partial tear going by how KD tried to flex his ankle upon landing.

Fact is, nothing I say will matter if you clearly don't even want to listen to experts together with KD's own medical team. Everybody cleared the player. Bob approved of KD's decision. Because it worsened, everyone is now bad. The best run franchise in the NBA is now classless.

Anyway I will not pay attention to any speculation about a boxer who has never been involved in any doping scandal whether at amateur or professional level.

His body build is actually working against him and Andre Ward pointed that out when he came to First Take

You're so desperate you failed to read and understand. Kevin Durant practiced with the team before the game. Stop lying to paint the Warriors bad on one mistake. I hold the organization responsible as well as Bob Myers only because he's the GM but he can only go as far as listening to the medical team and Kevin Durant. But to say the organization is classless is just foolishness and desperation.
Lol. You're trying o. Don't let stupid people rile u up bruh

i slept on this. And I thought about it again. Nah, lets talk true...what GS did here was evil. And as I have been checking other athletes comments, everyone is saying the same thing.

If they knew KD was going to be a warrior next season, they would not have let him play.

Whatever class and goodwill warriors management had is gone with this move. Crying on stage cant absolve the Machiavellian move they made here.

I fault Durant for being too trusting, too eager. But warriors did a number on this guy.
To be fair KD still has a $31m player option. That's more or less his insurance policy and can still enter free agency the next year assuming he makes a full recovery. He certainly will lose money sha but I don't think his case would be as bad as IT'S. The fake tears by Bob Myers was just the only thing that turned my Belle. Who asked him to try to cry? Poor acting job

Once again, another GS fan who either doesn't know how to read or simply doesn't understand the terms of basketball. I mentioned he hadn't had a FULL CONTACT PRACTICE and not any practice at all. In case you don't know what a full contact practice is, let me try to explain. It is a practice where you don't go all in physically. It is the first practice done by players who are just returning from an injury.

Both sides have a bit of blame. KD was eager to return, be the savior and win another ring even though he knew he probably shouldnt have. The warriors were desperate enough to clear him even though they knew they probably shouldnt have. KD may finally get what he wants though, peoples respect. People tend to gravitate towards an athlete when he shows some vulnerability. You can see the narrative around him now changing, but at what cost and is it truly worth it?

And speaking of poor acting job, did you see drakes? Lol
