    The only reason Bosh went to Miami was because LBJ was going to be there and Wade stayed because Bron was coming.

    They figured lets just go Miami because it's overall better place to be and you got Riley.

    Plus it was easier to take 1.5-2 mil less than max when there is no state tax.

    And...it's ? Miami...

    When lebron went to miami people were saying it's a wrap jvg said they'd win 33 in a row and 73 games lebron talking bout throwing oops to pat riley on fast breaks.He said the objective is 'win not 1 not 2 not 3 'etc

    Y'all having selective memory.What lebron and durant did was the same(joined all stars in their primes) ? just mad durant took it to another level.

    Nah it's not the same at all. Leaving Cleveland to go to a team where your starting PG is Mario Chalmers ain't the same as going to a team where your starting PG is the reigning 2x MVP

    Naw he went to a shooting guard who had won a ring and finals mvp. Ur just moving the goal post.

    That same Finals MVP hadn't been out the first round in how many years before LeBron and Bosh came?

    Like i said, bron set the precedent.

    Kd one upped him but they did the same aside from irrelevant variables. For the record im glad bron went to miami and got a ring. I wanted him to win in the finals this year and farther his legacy but im not mad at kd putting his career in his hands either.

    Whatever u feel keep the ? consistent.

    If u think kd copped out ima need u to feel the same toward lebron its more respectable at least.

    but (i feel) he damn near sold his soul for this ring.

    KD did just beat the best

    That man ain't going to regret ? !!

    If KD wins another ring or 2 and leads the warriors just like he did for this one ain't nobody gonna bring that ? up at all. There will be another hot take to talk about.

    People will always find a reason to talk down on a ? accomplishments.

    I didn't like Bron going to miami with Wade and Bosh. I didn't like KD going to the warriors.

    But I can't hate on either of them accomplishing their goals.

    If a teams management ain't getting the job done and/or you not meshing well with the other best player on your team then WTF is the purpose of staying on said team?

    tenor.gif

    but the ? used the cheatcode.

    there was a time where a man would be able to be the best but not have a chip.

    he injected himself to the least amount of work possible team.

    he stole the ring bruh.....

    im not dissing the PGCounty area but that ? did a flash mob and overwhelmed the store security to steal the ring. he aint walk on some boss ? . them ? bumsrushed the door.

    can you really respect that?

    Did you watch the finals?

    If so ain't no way you can say that man stole that ring. He LED that team to the ring. Durant EARNED that ring.

    So did Lebron steal his rings in Miami?

    Yes I 100% respect the championship the warriors just won.

    Sports is about getting the most amount of talent possible to better your chances to win a championship. It just so happens that KD made a move that all GM's dream about. People do the same ? at the local gym. They try to pick the best 5 players they can get cause if you lose at a crowded gym you might not get another run.

    I don't like what KD did either. I understand him leaving OKC but I would've like to see him try his hand with a team completely built around him. But the more I look at his situation the more I understand the move as well.

    No matter what players on the level of KD and Lebron says the GM runs the team. So they can tell the GM and coach the exact player(s) they want but that don't mean the GM is going to get that exact player or a similar one.

    So I can't blame KD for being the GM of his own career and putting himself in a situation with a group of players that plays a style of ball that he excels at.

    he took over a team that had other players that was good enough to have to cover....he took advantage of that.

    thats what he should do....
    but his ? is forever tainted.

    yall saying dont matter how he got it...he got it.

    ok.

    dont get mad when yall kids get a trophy for just showing up an they aint even in the pool.

    ? ? ! If you absorb small businesses into your company, does your portfolio look bad?

    depends on the businesses.

    an why use that example.

    you ? don't fight fair.

    ? a 2x MVP in Steph, one of the best 2 way players in the game in Klay, and a possible DPOY in Draymond aren't just "irrelevant variables" lol. Like I said I got no issue with the move but don't downplay the Warriors being a 73 win squad before he joined. Them ? was great before, added KD and got even greater.

    Brons series proves why they needed KD

    How you gonna say a man putting up 35 8 5 on 55/45/90 don't deserve a ring?

    He went point for point with LeBron in a close out game

    NBA has always had super teams, the construction of them just change over time

    There were up 3-1 without him last year. If bogut didn't get hurt the would have won.

    I Just don't get the narrative that GSW needed KD to be the Cavs when they beat them before.

    With kyrie and live hurt u willfully omitted that

    Why would I need to say that..







    Man, y'all ? are more mad than I am.. I'm a thunder fan and y'all in here ? like gsw wasn't going to win this year barring injuries.

    What did y'all really expect to happen smh

    Bruh how u gonna bring up the injuries for golden st losing and ignore the injuries Cleveland had the year before?

    Because gsw is clearly the better team. They were up 3-1 When both were fully healthy

    Right, kd teamed up with superstars.

    As did lebron.

    Youre just talking specifics theres really no difference, kd just did it with a better team thats all.
