Fans have this unrealistic idea of players should WANT TO, "Take the hardest road" to win a ring.

Why should they do that? Fans/Media tell players, "Your career is incomplete unless you win a ring." Why should they want to struggle for their entire careers HOPING to earn a ring?

Nah, go to a good team and win.

People don't know WHAT they want.

I get this for Durant or lebron.. all time greats who have seen the heat guys like Barkley get

For boogie, I'm looking at it for what it is, a business

I'm looking at the highest offer and potential future money there, potential for other stuff.. then state taxes, cost of living, standard of living and potential headaches would have to deal with in that location
 
So what is your opinion when Lebron left to Miami to win rings

I completely hated it and slandered him to the ends of the earth. He came back to Cleveland and I believed he realized the error of his ways and knew what the legends of the past needed from him. Now he left again and I’m completely done with his ***** ***.
 
“If i were a true gsw fan, i wouldn't even be proud of those rings. If stars are ok getting stacked team rings, so be it.”

We had 2 winning season from 1993-2012. You think I feel sorry for the rest of the league :rofl: :rofl:


This league was dominated by the Lakers and Celtics for the majority of its existence. Y’all are something else

The gall to tell a fan how they should feel about their team winning :sick::sick::sick::sick:

As mentioned before, I ASSUME, Boggie is using this year as an audition to other teams to show them that he is OK. Next year is the year that he will be looking for the real monies.
 
Exactly y i think when youre determining a players legacy that winning shouldnt be so highly looked at. I mean if lebron joins up with kawhi, and ad comes through and some other players to the lakers and they win 4 straight, bron has 7 rings and people would automatically start dubbing him > mj. As a player youre always going to score the minority of points on a team. No ones out there putting up 55 a game. That means when it comes to winning your teammates are always going to have the higher percentage of "weight" when it comes to winning because their input percentage is much higher than just one players. Youre pretty much judging players on their teammates performances which makes no sense. Its just the narrative everyone has always used because winning championships looks good and is easy to use as a measuring stick while analysis and realizing that even with winning a championship, the best player was still in the minority percentage of affecting the game, just like all the other individual players. Long post lol but this isnt tennis. Putting extreme emphasis on wins is lazy when it comes to determining how good someone is
 
Also if you play basketball this should ring true. If im out here scoring 10 points for my team and were playing to 16, and we lose 16 - 12, and their highest player had 6 points, is he all of a sudden better than me because they won? Thats how the narrative is in the nba for legacy. done ranting lol

Excellent point
 
another thing remember when people was saying dwight was gonna ruin the chemistry be bad for the locker room? good thing cousins has such a great reputation.
 
Bruh, our every day life does not include A COMPETITIVE SPORT. Washing dishes is not a competitive sport. Being an engineer isn't a competitive sport.

People want to see good basketball, not stacked teams running trains on the league.

If i were a true gsw fan, i wouldn't even be proud of those rings. If stars are ok getting stacked team rings, so be it.
You want to watch good basketball?

Watch the WNBA
 
There’s no passion in wanting to win. Everyone just decides to do it when it’s time. The players of yesteryear would battle season to season and deal with unfathomable upsets just to one day call themselves world champions and no what it took. Now you just teamup with players that you once wanted to fight or posed next to a shirt that called them a ***** to win. Lebron was meant to be the embodiment of every player from yesteryear and instead became the god father of this new breed of gutless championships. It is what it is.

Making a good decisions doesnt equate to lack of passion. It's making a good decision. I'm sorry but I'm not spending 10 years on a team with the hopes that management can find players. Thats stupid and a waste of a career. Honestly it just sounds like ya'll more upset at the warriors than the actual move.
