but is he lying...overall in judging his career, his had a pretty decent/good career.. And age wise isn't (barring any injuries, has plenty of gas left in the tank)
As of late fans look at good/great players...and have such a high expectation...especially in their early years... that if they aint Bill Russell multiple ring status, they suck and their entire career is down the toilet.
Look how long it took akeem, dude went a damn decade, plus had to have a Jordan retirement before he won anything. So up until that point, he was a failure and sucked and didn't have a successful career? Because he didn't have a chip yet, that takes away that he was arguably the best or one of the best bigs in the league?
Ppl mindset now is if you come out with high hopes/praise (which is funny cause its usually you same dudes that tear them down) They do well or great rookie year, first few years.... that if you haven't one chips somewhere close to midlevel of your career...you scrub status. Then the same ppl who praised them, said they were gonna be the truth etc.... turn around a say, oh well I never liked them, I always knew they would be a failure...lol
Cause trust me kyrie, rose, wall so on and so forth aint winning jack no time soon...So yall might as well get ready, well hell start calling these guys garbage NOW.
