Durant signs with Warriors

Duncan didn't have to leave because he was always good enough to carry a team.

AI left but his ego was too big to succeed on other teams.

Wobe didn't leave because the lakers management brought in hall of famers to stack the team.

Nothing wrong with what Durant did but he better win.

What do you mean the opportunity was not there before?

Kobe, A.I., Duncan .... all the stars who came in in the late-90s could have done the SAME THING. They didn't. Its like a video game having difficulty levels, bro'. Some people don't have a problem winning with the game on easy. People who think like they do will obviously not have an issue with it. Just teaming up with the best superstars you can at that time does not make you a great winner.

This, to me, is a weak move.

But, like I said, I accept the reality that other people don't care how a ring is won as long as its won.

Son you have no clue to how real basketball works... I bet you really think that Durant is going to still average 27 pts and still take 22 shots per game while Curry, Green, Thompson still get their shots... :smh:
On paper maybe but in reality nope, more like Durant is going to average around 12 shots per game and with him shooting that little he is virtually useless...

This is why NFL is king

As far as making money.....yes. Which is kind of wild because the NFL aint international....yet it blows the MLB and NBA out the water.

But the NFL has become wack/soft as well. While the NFL is more balanced and unpredictable as far as who wins, the higher ups have handicapped the league to hide the low iq/skillsets of their players.

It aint the sport, per se, its the athletes themselves.

The fact that we can sit here in July 2016 and easily predict that its gonna be Cavs vs GS in 2017 NBA finals is rather sad.

So people thought of Pau as a future hall of famer when he was with Memphis :hmm:
 
xfactor said:
Yes, he was and is. Plus they had Phil Jackson who is the greatest coach in NBA history.

Those teams were all stacked and still underachieved.

:lol2::lol2:
What qualified Pau as a hall of famer before he got to LA? Was it all those playoff games he won? Getting out of the first round all those years in Memphis?

Underachieved......jeeze. they went to the finals three straight years and won twice. Miami did the same thing right after, did they underachieve too?

The way you guys re-write history is hilarious.

Pau was thought of as Kevin Love before that trade. A player who put up good stats on bad/mediocre teams. They were terrible with a young Conley, Mike Miller and Rudy Gay.

How the fuck was he going to the hall of fame being on 20 win teams :hmm:

That team will implode on its own under its own weight. Does Curry step aside and let Durant be the number 1(Durant is the superior player)? But you're a Heat fan, so it's not your problem.

Just save this thread
They don't know what they are in for
They are the center of the NBA right now
Everything is good
Now, every team will bring their A+ game
All season
Not like this year either
They are too good not to succeed
But it's not like how people are thinking
When they lose, the questions will come
"Were you better off without Durant?"
"Why are your numbers down?"
"At this point last year you were ___, what's happening this year?"
That's the real test.

This is, of course, the same Stephen A. Smith who left his job at the Philadelphia Inquirer for a much more lucrative and higher profile gig at ESPN. Who could have, of course, stayed at the Inquirer for his entire career — which could last another 20 or 30 years — and attempted to make it competitive with ESPN. (He would have failed, but he still could have tried.) But instead he made the wise decision for his family and his legacy and chose to join a dominant media entity full of already established stars; a place that makes his job a bit easier and pays him millions of dollars to insult the decisions made by men with less than 10 years left in their careers.

I recognize this analogy isn’t perfect. But just remember that Stephen A. Smith is full of shit. Stephen A. Smith can (and should) shut the fuck up. But won’t, of course. Because money.

Happy 4th!

How would the Philadelphia Inquirer compete with ESPN?

Faggot you hang from Kobe's nuts more than his wife. He's retired and your bitch ass still can't keep his name out your mouth.
 
His NBA and international play.

Pau didn't have enough talent at Memphis to compete but once he got a good complement of role players like he did in LA, he flourished.

Yea, underachieved. Not to mention getting a 4x DPOY and a 2x MVP the team still couldn't win :lol: y'all forgot about that huh?

:smh:

The Heat went to the Finals every year they had LeBron and won back to back, something that had never happened in Miami before so no they didn't underachieve.

Is this board full of retards?

How exactly is a player leaving as a free agent or being traded the same as what Durant just did?

Chuck wanted to be traded to Denver?

When the fuck did Denver become the Golden State Warriors? Did I miss something?

I feel like I'm reading a bunch of bullshit from @BrownTurd

This is dumb as shit

The Inquirer isn't on the same playing field as ESPN

It's like saying leaving a Single A baseball team for the Yankees is you being traitor. You could have built a career in single A, why did you leave?

This analogy is dumb as fuck
 
It's pathetic they continue to make excuses for the role playing sidekick that they tried to compare to LeBron.

The comparisons are just comical at this point and the Lakers will be better for it.

Like his role model, Wobe never led his teams anywhere except for 1st round playoff exits without a hall of famer(s) on the roster.

The stans act like those years never happened.

you will probably disappear after this, like you always do after you get owned/

His NBA play huh? enlighten me, what did he do in memphis that qualified him? he won no playoff games. no series. No MVP.

He got good role players in LA? My goodness. So his memphis teams were good enough to win 50 games and get in the playoffs, but not good enough to win one game? why?

ahhh, you are referring to dwight and nash. smh. Nash hardly played and got hurt, so how could they achieve anything? Dwight would eventually have injuries as well and then Kobe. So how can you achieve anything with a bunch of injured players?

so because miami never went to three straight finals before, that means they didnt underachieve? really? you have to be smarter than that. They werent favored against the Mavs?
