Durant signs with Warriors

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?

A defensive player of the year coming off back surgery? Did we get Chris Paul? Why not?

Do you muthafuckas realize that we gave up Marc to get Pau?

Do you dudes use selective shit to support arguments on purpose?

And the thought of people thinking Pau was some great player when he was on 22 win Memphis teams is laughable.

Like Pau has racked up four gold medals :smh:
 
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.
gasol was not a hall of famer at the time they obtained him. You sound stupid. Prove to me that Gasol was a HOFer before joining LA. what accolades?

So if kyrie becomes a HOFer, will you say Lebron never won a ring without a hofer on his team? You should just stop posting. Wait for KT to come save you.
 
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.
It's the injury rate that makes it unpredictable as well

Faggot you and The Queen mention Kobe more than anyone up here.

I can guarantee you two...five...ten years from now you'll still be mentioning Kobe.

So is Andrew Bynum a hall of famer now too :lol:

Chris Bosh was thought more highly of than Pau.

but then people will mention Kwame Brown for Pau, but conveniently leave out we traded Marc.

The shit is hilarious bro.
 
Yeah, parity is a lot better. Not knowing who is going to be in the Super Bowl at the start of each season.

Who would have thought Charlotte and Denver would be there after their previous year.

Exactly

It's only 3 teams with a legit chance

Cavs
Spurs
Warriors

NBA always been that way tho

Now it's just a little worse cuz the players taking it into their own hands and teaming up

It's why NBA has so much bandwagon fans

It's no fun rooting for a team you know has no chance year in and year out

and the funny thing is, Marc has already achieved what his brother couldn't.
 
It really doesn't matter
He wanted to leave

Wanting to leave, and leaving to create a stacked team isn't the same thing.

It's like that dumb ass writer actually comparing the Philadelphia Inquirer and an ESPN gig paying him 3 million dollars a year.

People have free will.

At one point even Tim Duncan was close to going to Orlando.
 
I hate agreeing with a Steelers fan o_O
But you're right.
We got plenty of time to go at it come September Smooth.

The trade to Chicago was done except they were going to trade Deng.
Kobe said no.
If memory serves
Point is, this stay and build is a myth
The man wanted out after wanting Shaq gone and fucking up a 3-1 lead in a playoffs
He won two more so it's a wash
But don't make it like he didn't want to leave when things got bad
 
Got damn son, how many excuses are you going to make for Robin?

You stans do the same shit over and over, hoping nobody catches on. You can downplay the "rest of the squad" all you want but the fact is Robin sucked and if his shots weren't falling when he went on typical chucking sprees he had to get carried by the rest of the team.

LeBron never had the luxury of going 6/24 in a close out game and still win a title.

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?
 
This move can backfire. If Golden State doesn't do better than 63-9, Durant will be blamed. If the don't win a Championship, he will be blamed.

Remember there is only 1 ball and GS was already averaging about 115 a game.

That being said, I think they'll do both.
 
Durant said fuck it, if I can't beat them, join them

Imagine Isiah saying fuck it, let me go to La or Boston
Imagine Jordan saying fuck it, I can't beat Detroit, let me go to the Lakers
Patrick Ewing didn't say fuck it, I want to go Chicago

You getting a game within the finals should make you work harder to get back.

These players today are built different.

It's like all these high school kids who want to go to dook or Kensucky. They don't want to earn shit. They want it to be given to them.

There's nothing wrong with being Charles Barkley, Elgin Baylor, Patrick Ewing, or that big country bamma. They're still going to be remembered. A ring doesn't make you.
 
:lol: but your bitch ass has been quiet for the past for years except for jumping on the anti-LeBron bandwagon.

Not surprised considering you are a frontrunner.

Convenient amnesia and avoidance as usual.

He had the luxury of going two or five minutes without scoring at the end of games though.

So is Pau Batman now? The same player who was on back to back 22 win Memphis teams. So if Kobe and him teamed up, shouldn't they have been a 30 win team :hmm:

stick to the topic dude. answer those questions i asked. Back up your statements. Don't try and move the goal post. i give you credit for trying though. come on, lets go. Show me what you got without KT helping you.
 
Yep he did.
Get swept by the Spurs on the way to the NBA Finals

:smh:
where as Pau did what again? I dont think you answered that. What did Pau do in memphis that qualified him as a HOFer?

Marc won series and playoff games in memphis. Did Pau? Come on, answers bruh, do you have them?
 
Nobe led teams finished last place in the division 3 times and got bounced out of the 1st round 4 times.

Seems like Pau had a more impressive career as the lead dog to me.

Bitch ass faggot

When have I ever been quiet?

I'm a Laker fan til I die, bitch. I stay in NBA threads.

This is probably the top dumbest post you've ever fuckin posted. Your head must have hit the headboard too many times, because you've gone full retard.

let me help xfactor out.

it was the coach, Phil did it all. Phil was dropping 50 every night. Right xfactor? Thats what you're gonna say, right? Oh, it was Ron, Odom, Bynum, Ariza and Luke Walton. They carried Pau and Kobe, right? KT, get in here and help your cheerleader out. His pom poms are getting heavy.

Pau was coming off serious injuries and playing 18, 19 and 20 seasons?

How exactly did Pau do this year "carrying" a team?

You aren't very good discussing basketball team.

more stupidness. Pau didnt even win a fucking playoff game before he got to LA, so how could he have the more impressive career as the leader. WHAT DID HE ACCOMPLISH IN MEMPHIS?????? you still have not answered that?
 
Again, more excuses.

Seeing you and StanRock post about basketball is comical because it is all emotion and no substance.

Even Pau in Chicago did a better job than an aging role player trying to be a leader. A leadership attempt so pathetic that unprecedented displays of locker room code were being violated.

If he doesn't get crucified in media ...I'm calling bullshit

This weakens Curry's legacy and puts a lot of pressure on Warriors
U guys are really ridiculous..how does this weaken Curry legacy? Bill Russell played with like 8 hall of famers i think, maybe more..is his legacy weak? Some of you just say anything
 
Are you this dense?

Gasol turned a losing, expansion franchise into a 50 win competitor in the western conference.

Then Gasol came to a team in LA that was damn near falling out of the playoff race to lead them back to their first finals since 2004.

Got damn you stans are dumb :smh:

I fuckin hope so, he had Derrick Rose and Jimmy Butler....but wait Clarkson and Russell are as good as them now, right?

This board gives women a hard time when discussing sports, but you groupie muthafuckas are far worse.

You have no logic. It's all emotion and hate. You have to be sweeter than Magic's son.
