Well, the reality is the only way we're getting Durant is if we go 74-8 during the regular season and them come back from 3-1 to beat GSW in the conference finals. We have to prove to him we're the best regular season team ever without him and his current team can't beat us in the playoffs, even if we spot them a 3-1 lead. BNM
Well yeah, that's exactly the point. This is how KD is perceived, and rightly so: He took the easy way out. He didn't earn a championship, he joined a championship team. It would have been like Michael Jordan joining the Pistons in the summer of 1990 after the Pistons beat the Bulls in the Eastern Conference finals. But, Jordan would have never in a million years joined the Pistons. He use losing to them as motivation and came back the next year, beat them and won his first NBA title. That's the difference between a leader and a follower. People would hate on Durant a lot less if he would stop being so defensive about his choice. It bothers him because he knows it was a weak ass move. He doesn't need to constantly snipe back at people on social media, but he does. That's a sign of insecurity. He should just shut the fuck up and let it die. He made a weak ass move. Stop acting like you didn't and let it die. BNM
Was it a weak move? Yes. Does he deserve all this hate? No. Criticism? Yes. I guess I don’t understand how it makes him a douche. He’s one of the best scorers and talents we have ever seen. Can’t take that one away from him
I think Lebron is the 2nd greatest of all time. I’m just saying, he still joined super teams, teams he knew would have multiple all stars.
Being a douche has nothing to do with how good of a player he is and i dont think anyone is taking his skills away from him. He is a douche for how he responds to the criticism you yourself say he deserves. He is getting the critque and being a Douche about it.
It trips me out a bit you keep comparing the two "decisions." There was no certainty when LeBron joined Miami. With LeBron, "The Decision" was what ruffled peoples' feathers. It was a tone deaf and just dumb and embarrassing. I HATED myself for watching it. But in the end LeBron and Co. had to work for those titles; they got a lot of lucky breaks. And then the prodigal son returned and delivered for Cleveland=savior. As for Durant. (How do you not see this?!?) He's an MVP that joined perhaps the best team in HISTORY and without grace; that move is for 38 year old ring chasers. He talks shit; he's petty. It's like the dudes that shove one another then wait for someone to hold them back to act badass. I mean, the whole fake account on twitter, even the tweet after CJ interview. How his personality has changed. And this is all just off the top of my head! You aren't seeing any of this? It's not normal fuckdouchery, it's next level=the proverbial Judas Iscariot.
According to the moderation log the thread title was edited. I do not know what was edited, just that it was.
Disagree. He joined prime Wade and prime Bosh and himself in Prime and they got on a stage and said they would win “not five not six “ championships. They knew they were a super team. This is all recency bias.
Super teams still need role players around them to help maximize thier efficiencies. Miami was an unknown when they put the puzzle pieces together. They didnt know if they would fit or not. Guys like haslem played key roles. Gsw was already proven. And thier role players were already proven to help them. To me the difference is quite obvious
Not sure what you mean about recency bias. And yes. Those role players came up big when they needed to. Maybe other roles players dont. Happens all the time.
