Sometimes it's just hard to criticize a player more talented than you are. They will always point out your lack of talent. End of story. "Maybe, if you had worked as much as I did", "you averaged 2,3 points in that series". I mean how can you defend that? Savage. Those make one's argument all the more irrelevant. I hope Perkins is doing alright. Perkins is one persistent guy too, he made sure his message came across, " you did work hard, but.....".

LOL just saw this too. How the hell did I miss it? Man, KD is still KD.

Khanben:
What I can say about Luka is that I've never seen him push off his big man just to get a rebound

KNIGHTBlaed:
I don't think anyone is disputing Bron's impact. It's as clear as daylight. Anything happens to Bron, this team does not make the playoffs.

zelgiusdigby:
Now this is something I can actually get excited about. I wanted the Lakers to get him before the season started but they couldn't. Huge fan of Mook.

DeeMain:
You need a good trading chip if you want such a good player and Kuzma is that piece for the Lakers. Lose some, gain some. Painfully so, I must admit.

Khanben:
If this is true the Lakers should jump on it Bogdanovic is as good as a playmaker and shot creator as Kyle kuzma and is a way better shooter than kuz.

Khanben:
So in essence Collins is a player who can give you all three abilities in the same body.

One of the few people with a negative net rating with Lebron on the floor is rondo. I think he has the worst. Yes our second unit is not anything to write home about but he makes things infinitely worse. There's no way they should be that bad, no way they should be losing 30+ point leads to the suns and their ilk. It's not acceptable.

zelgiusdigby:
Crazy. Every single game now the Lakers build up a lead and then he checks in and the lead evaporates. Teams have had a negative net rating with him on the floor for a few consecutive seasons now. It's too obvious at this point that he's become a problem.

zelgiusdigby:
No one said he'll propel the Lakers to anything. The Lakers need a reliable playmaker and ball handler and he'll be an upgrade over the sh-t show that Rondo has become. Does getting collison mean a guaranteed chip? Nope. But it does make them better which is all a team can ever really aim to be.

zelgiusdigby:
Did you just mention Rondo? Lol. You haven't been watching Lakers games have you? Bradley and Caruso have nothing to do with what collison brings to the table. Lakers need a playmaker more than they need a wing. Their second unit is horrible and that is mostly down to Rondo and it's affecting other bench players like kuzma. Rondo is not what he used to be.

Khanben:
Help me to ask him ohh

zelgiusdigby:
Which guys?

Khanben:
If the Lakers can pull off three additions namely Crowder, Darren Colin's and Andre then they are good to go IMHO.

Roland17:
AD continues to carry the Lakers, he is younger and that is what is expected. However, if LeBum thinks this assist padding for MVP, putting up poverty numbers and deferring of offense will get him a championship ring with the Lakers then someone needs to wake him up!

zelgiusdigby:
The lakers bench led by Rondo AKA "celtics double agent" is horrible. Two games in a row now the starters build up a sizeable lead but have to bring back bron and AD because they blew the lead. This is unacceptable. Not sustainable against good teams most regular season games and certainly not in the playoffs.

zelgiusdigby:
Cook or daniels or both.

birdman:
i think you mean the fans they gathered in the last 5 years. Im not even sure their current fan base actually like bball. Nothing wrong with that, but it explains how folks who were worshipping Durant one season can be justifying him being dissed like this.

DeeMain:
So many GSW fans have now joined the KD is a snake and villain and was gifted rings bandwagon all of a sudden because KD criticized aspects of their tactics or because they have to defend a fallible management by all means by hook or crook?

Won him 2 rings. Lol. Same narrative you all have been attacking in his defense with your souls all these years.

Smh.

Fanhood will make a riveting subject of research in our Ivory towers.

Interesting times.

Eruditor:
When I initially saw it on Instagram I went further to read comments from fans alike. I even did same on Reddit. The consensus was that it was not right. I personally did not like it. I said so.

What I actually find hypocritical is the people whose modus operandi is to cry more than the bereaved. They blamed GSW for his injury. Even when the player said otherwise. Then they criticised GSW for retiring his jersey and called it fake - claiming it was done to cover up for the injury. Now they want to also feign outrage that he was left out of a video. LOL.

HAPPY 35TH BIRTHDAY TO A LIVING LEGEND KING JAMES!

You came, You saw and you more than conquered. Almost two Decades at the Top of the Game says all there is that is to be said. It's been an absolute pleasure to watch you play the game all through these years.
