I think him being frail and liking to celebrate a lot after making shots pisses people of more than his skin tone

KG more well rounded as a passer, engaged defensively, better jumper. Tad better rebounder?
AD probably a better bucket getter.

What’s the point of calling a certain reasoning dumb only to use it yourself?The same reasoning is what hurts T Mac’s career. There’s a large group saying Dirk was made by his title run, which is in part true. But no title for KG and what’s his playoff resume?

Kobe at his peak and as the best player in the league missed the playoffs and had two first round exits...
That’s because of the talent (or lack there of) that surrounded him not because he wasn’t good enough.

It plays a part in why his peers view him as a b****. (See Blakeand Drake)
It has nothing to do with his production.

Of course, that's the unfair part.

Is it a hot take to say KD and Kyrie may never reach the ECF? 
i wanna say win a playoff series but that might be too hot

Too early to tell and we need to see who they hire plus flip Levert/Jarrett Allen into

He's in that 3-5 range as far as PG's go.

Potentially only 2 years together? The first of which KD is coming off a serious injury? Honestly think it’s more likely that they don’t make the ECF.Is it a hot take to say KD and Kyrie may never reach the ECF?

We don’t really know what the team is going to look like from a roster makeup standpoint either though.

Godspeed to Ty Lue's health if he accepts the Nets job.

Like I been telling people...discussing Steph Curry in real life and on the internet is always on some other ****. Always.
Mav Carter ain’t disrespecting Allen Iverson like that, with that tone. And Steph is a considerably better a defender than AI was. AI will you himself.

KD’s health will determine a lot. If he’s 95% of who he was, he plus Kyrie should make some noise in the East. But who knows man, the league changes so quickly. Brooklyn doesn’t have a coach and is going to make a big play at some point
what may help Brooklyn (and lac) is the bri coming down a bit for the next couple of seasons, enticing guys like kd Kawhi and pg to opt in to the last years of those deals.

Hinges on their health and ability to co-exist. So the ECF part probably isn't completely unreasonable.

What is this lightskin narrative y’all are pushing? I am fair skinned myself and I don’t mess with Steph that much lol
i also don’t see y’all using that narrative for LaVine, Lonzo, or Trae...

In fact people not discussing enough how impacted teams will be with a lower cap. Max slots won’t be there like that.

they’re not good enough or prominent enough for the conversation. Even with that, there’s some colorism stuff with Lavar in his past that’s kind of out there
In general though, I do think to a certain degree how Steph is talked about has a bit to do with his appearance. His appearance and his background doesn’t “go” with his production to SOME people, and it’s PARTLY Why at the height of the dubs run a lot of players were not rocking with Steph

....make a thread for it.And shoot.... *****s was calling Trae soft in college...and saying Colin Sexton was the “dawg” etc. Everybody thought Lonzo couldn’t play D coming into the nba. He had some “soft” west coast perception too. Perception is basketball.
But for the 1 thousandth time....I can discus this again. I think I posted articles, clips, words from players, former players etc on this topic over the years.
Suburban, light skin, jump shooting, seemingly small, seemingly had things handed to him guy......being that dominant....is going to annoy some people. It’s actually a deeper and better discussion to have elsewhere, because the trolls going to come out, or it will even get weirder. And frankly...I’m tired of talking about it
That’s the last Imma discuss on it, in this thread. Y’all can make another thread on it, or something.

The KG playoff stuff was always overblown to me since he came in when Jordan & Malone were still playing & he wasn’t really KG until ‘00, and he didn’t have the horses to compete with either Portland or LA.
‘01 the Lakers are one of the greatest teams ever.
‘02 is a blemish, sure 100%. Swept and soundly outplayed by Dirk. No argument from me.
‘03 & ‘04 eliminated by Shaq Kobe & Phil. ‘05 Spre & Cassell were 35 and lost most of their juice. ‘06 & ‘07 his number 2 was Ricky Davis.
So he never had a real supporting cast to actually do anything of significance in that conference. If he got out the 1st, they would’ve talked about the conference finals like y’all do with Chris Paul
