I have pretty eclectic tastes in music. Classic rock, hip hop, pop, classical, jazz, reggae and even EDM. Got some of all that on my phone. But Drake’s popularity I don’t get. He’s got one song with Rihanna that I like, but otherwise, nope.

Broussard knows damn well that saying you were texting someone is not the same as saying you had a social media conversation with someone. Also, how does a text/dm convo “last 5 hours.” That could literally be a 4 text exchange. 12:00, 12:45, 2:30, 5;00. “We texted for 5 hours.”
I’ve had dm convos with Curren$y. I’ve never said I was texting him

KD deserved that.
Splitting hairs. You opening an app and sending text. In 2019 these are the same thing.Broussard knows damn well that saying you were texting someone is not the same as saying you had a social media conversation with someone.

Anyone care how you set up a date? DM, Snapchat, sms.
Anyone care how you negotiated a price for that item off CL? DM, text, FM, WhatsApp.
All the same.

Some people dont want you to have their number, though. Be weird if someone from nt started claiming they were texting me, if I didnt give them my number.

Again, it’s a team game. Ring count is one of the most antiquated method when comparing a players career. It’s laughable actually.It sure is.
So count up those rings because he's got more of those too

I laugh when I hear players today can't make it in the 80s or 90s.
When guys like this were dropping nearly 20 per game for years

They train all year round to get those rings, though. They bond over the chase for them, rings are important, if not as a symbol of what they accomplished. I'd say that's a pretty big accomplishment, moreso than steals leader or ppg leader. ****, you think players would rather be remembered as champions or all NBA without a ring?

If you put a picture of Terrell Brandon up I could roll with you, but Price was a really good basketball player.I laugh when I hear players today can't make it in the 80s or 90s.

Not the point I'm getting at.

Just skip over what I said about Win shares why don't you (still haven't checked the numbers but, I said what I said).
EDIT:
Checked the Win Shares (An estimate of the number of wins contributed to a team by a single player...a method that is CERTAINLY NOT ANTIQUATED):
Steph Curry (2013-2016): 13.4, 15.7, 17.9
Stockton (best year w/s wise 1988-89): 15.6
Zeke: (best year w/s wise 1984-85): 11.2 ----> That number is relatively low likely because his teammates were so good... Stockton's number was probably higher than Thomas' because it was just Stockton and Malone I'm guessing.
Even when you look at Zeke and Stockton's best 3 year stretches from a general standpoint, they still don't beat Curry in any year.
Stockton has Curry beat in Assists, but I'm not sure that Zeke has Curry beat in anything except the almighty finals MVP category (LOL).
So yeah it's a team sport but we've got ways to quantify individuals direct impact on wins.
