So LeBron rings while playing with 2 all stars in Miami are legit.. but Durants aren't?

Ring, singular. And 2 All Stars with one of them being a champion is a substantial difference than 3 all stars with all 3 being champions, no? Bizarro world in here. Y’all know what’s up.

Lol Bron took maybe a mil or 2 less a season. That's a substantial difference from taking a vet minimum deal. And factor in no state income tax.the difference was even less.

The Heat weren’t the best option for him winning. He took a chance and went to play with a Heat team that missed the playoffs and then got bounced the first round in the two consecutive seasons before Lebron came and took less money. KD went to a team that won the championship and were 1 game away from winning the championship in the two consecutive seasons before Lebron came and took less money. Did Wade win a league MVP? Did Wade win 2 in a row? FOH

lol at the narrative changing to money doesnt matter to Lebron now. Also, the Cavs didn't get any number 1 overally picks from the Heat for lebron leaving.

The fact of the matter is that Lebron went to the Heat to HAVE an elite 2nd option and KD went to the Warriors to BE an elite 2nd option.

Big faxxx

 

[seasoned vet]

did Ron Artest go through the same thing Durant did for joining the team that beat him?

Artest was still a beast when he was with HOU, got beat by LA, got physical with Kobe, joined them the next year

i dont recall anyone calling Artest a ***** or saying his ring wouldnt count, idk, maybe they did

 

[DCAllAfrican]

I'm almost certain KD said himself he doesn't want to be the alpha dog/franchise player.

Yall / Media make it a bigger deal than it really is

Bill simmons jinxing the **** out of the celtics

JJ started over Stevenson

yeah i think jj started midway through the series

That will happen when your second best player goes down in game 1 and you play number 1 seeds like this:

Horford
Carroll
Korver
Teague
Millsap

or a Celtics team with:

Brandon Bass
Jae Crowder
Jared Sullinger
IT
Avery Bradley

You're right but adding the ****** made it funnier

 

[lamekilla]

KD is making 10 mil a year more than lebron was when he went to miami

KD makes like 28mil a year.....he’s playing at a Lil less than market value (like the big 3 in Miami)

You wanted Bron (at 25 years old) to play for the Vet minimum in Boston...in 2010....what’s that....like $5mil a year?

. You ain’t think this one through.

Y’all tryna hang on to salaries when that isn’t the point. They both took less than their market value but trying to compare the market value in 2010 to 2016 is ridiculous. Let me put this in perspective for you however....KD is making only $7,000 more than Melo................

 

[bballkid11]

Reading through old nba player ranking. John salmons was a top 50 player once they say. Crazy.

Thats wild

Imagine if KD petitioned Draymond in the showers right after losing in the finals

 

[equality]

LeBron wanted to be on the best team. So did KD. What happens after is irrelevant. Who cares? They're both great.

Yall / Media make it a bigger deal than it really is

Where in that sentence did I insinuate it's a big deal? i'll wait.

Now were downplaying #1 seeds

Even tho Mississsippi is one of the leading backwards states they always been up on gambling, all types or river boat casinos and other ways to gamble down there...sharp contrast to a state like Georgia where they treat gambling n alcohol like we still in the prohibition days

Top 5 in ponr though

Bro, are you really comparing 2009 Ron Artest to Kevin Durant? Don't get me wrong Ron Artest was a good player for Houston but he wasn't a top three player in the NBA. It wasn't a league altering move.

Arrest wasn’t even a top 10 player in the league let alone top 3.

Wasn't speaking about you, making a general statement. I was moreso referring to the tone of the current flow of conversation

No, what everyone is saying is there is a difference between making a 2M a year vet minimum and making 16M a year. Not sure what is hard to understand about that.

Cp the goat just like Ashanti the goat

I need some of them Ashanti yambs...Ima find a look a like n smack that mass a couple times

 

[ill steelo]

Real Talk right here. He is not bad in 1 on 1, but when he has to adjust, switch, move on the fly. It is horrendous

He was pretty bad in every situation last night. I don’t know which team Houston thought they were playing but their defense was laughable at times.

 

[DCAllAfrican]

Is Richard Sherman a b**** for going to a Rival Team? Or is that different?

 

[theregothatman]

Lol they both made ***** moves going by the code of sports. Both wanted as little competition as possible in their way. Bron successfully did it in his conference as evidenced by his consecutive Finals streak. KD looks to have done it to the league as a whole.
