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? -
Yeah, it was some work out there in Columbus the time I went. Cincinnati had some ok broads lil part I went to

If these other organizations dont like it, do something about it to make yourself compete. This the new nba now. U dont just sit out and wait until the dynasty comes n goes someone is gonna have to go out there and take em out like every other dynasty.
As fans ? ....what were the Finals ratings again??
Nba isnt going back to the slow, old school game ever again so might as well get with it or just be mad n talk about the past.
Gsw the new champions n look like they will hold it down for a minute lets see what next great team comes together to stop them.
If KD did nothing wrong, then there is zero criticism to give Lebron for going to Miami. And Conversely.
I'm not going at you specifically, but ? to be consistent in these bball discussions.
100% agree n wish more ppl see it that way.
I had no issue with what lebron did going to miami. I was ready for him to leave ? ass cleveland. I think its a good thing that players have more control over their careers.
But i agree lots of hurt lbj fans are looking like hypocrites and moving goal posts the way lbj haters move goal posts every time lbj succeeds. -
I don't see how LBJ going to Miami is the same.
Wade was getting bounced in the first round or missing the playoffs when shaq left and Bosh couldn't win either.
KD went to the team that set the record for wins with the back to back MVP. -

If anything it set the precedent for other players to do the same.
The underlying theme is superstar leaves to join other superstars to win a ring. The other variables dont matter much after that. -

Creating your OWN super team, and hopping on a super team that beat you ain't the same ? thing.

Never said it was the same. What i said was:
"superstar leaves to join other superstars to win a ring."
This applies to both of em.
Edit: the variables around it (creating super team vs joining established super team doesnt matter) -
Yo john B you lucky as ? infamous wasn't a mod back then lol

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. -

We'll never know...but i disagree. Any fans who dont benefit from these situations will ? n moan. Maybe wouldnt be as critical but if he went to spurs and won a ring u know damn well "he took the easy way out" would still be the played out argument as it was for lbj. -

See my pops did work in Cleveland and said that even though city ain't nothing to write home about the women were fine as hell. Mind you this was like 20-30 years ago though lol. -
The NBA has turned into La Liga. Lol
Barca and Real Madrid. Spurs are Athletico Madrid. -

How yall feel about this quote, thats a bit of a bold statement lol
"They are not unbeatable. There have been bigger upsets in sports history. We are going to keep improving our roster... We are used to long odds. If Golden State makes the odds longer, we might up our risk profile and get even more aggressive. We have something up our sleeve."
Lol probably smoke and mirrors -
Super teams bad for the league? -

Maybe for the folks who are casual or less, real fans would understand. As it is we understand, it's just some choose to let KD slide on the variables/semantics -
Warriors should go for 74-8 next year

Exactly. If KD went anywhere else besides Cleveland or gsw this wouldn't be a conversation. Spurs ain't a super team they got exposed against Golden st ? lying now -

but what happened to being the best because YOU beat the best.
like someone else said.....? called from the parking lot after they loss.
curry telling ? ....i'll give you the ball.
where is the competitive spirit?
this ? went to the only real threat to another ? title run.
i get the whole teams arent loyal ? ...
but
i dont know.
honestly.....he gonna regret this ? in the long run....
this will forever come up in interviews in the future.
say what you want......but the ? will wear on anyone.
again...congratz
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?
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?

It's all good when lebron does it resulting in his teams sweeping thru the east for years.Now they wanna cry when someone else it does
bu but He shoulda went to play with 40 y/o manu and washed tony parker with kahwi being the ONLY good player moving forward or he shoulda played wit a midget and marcus smart jumping around like a wwe wrestler every play
