Like @Picasso said. I need to stop trying to explain to folks that don't care to listen. But I'll try again 1 last time. As a superstar and leader of your team you cannot blow a series and then run immediately to the team that beat you. Makes you weak. Dawg could have went to ANY OTHER CONTENDER and it would have been cool. But to go link up with the folks that just sent you packing is next level weak
After we square up im
Boom!!!There's no "trying" to explain. Once you've explained your position that's pretty much it.
However, let's be clear; all arguments don't carry equal weight. At least to me. Some are rooted in emotion/feelings/gut/whatever and others can be quantified and substantiated. My opinions tend to be more of the latter. As a matter of FACT my explanation could apply to every Tom, Dick and Harry currently employed. When they're ready for a change no one asks THEM to go to a shit city, shit company and work with shit employees. YET isn't that what you and others expect of KD? Add to the FACT that this generation of basketball player doesn't hate, dislike, whatever their competition (which is why I chuckle at that Jordan didn't join the Pistons analogy). If the opportunity presents itself they WILL play together. ALL of them.
So hey, opinions are opinions and you're entitled. I just command a little more convincing (which is not required) to buy into the narrative of it being a "weak" move. Any move that pays you what you worth, makes you better and give you EXACTLY what you want doesn't and won't ever meet the criteria of weak. That's the perspective of folks who have spent more time looking up and than looking down.
All these dam pics of this girl and you couldn't get a CSI. Man ima start to question our friendship

No offense but @xxironxx, when a person starts comparing the moves of people with regular jobs to former MVP’s and franchise players. That’s when you know it’s time to

There you have it. Creating a "special" set of circumstances to justify your argument. I realize no one is trying to convince the other. This is simply who makes a better argument. Nothing more. Nothing less.
You miss the part where I said any contender. He didn't have to go to a shit situation. Not speaking on you specifically, but I can tell a lot of you niggaz never competed at shit.There's no "trying" to explain. Once you've explained your position that's pretty much it.

Yea I was gonna go there but was like fuck it. But yeah what the regular Joe does and athletes ain't the same. Can't compare the 2“Special Circumstances” is knowing and understanding the difference between being a government worker, fireman, fast food worker is different than being a professional athlete?
You got it

At this point I have no clue what any of this has to do with anything. You got it famUnless you've parlayed that into something that actually pays you a dollar that shit is meaningless.
You could tell me you played D1 ball but my next question would be other than putting a ball into a hoop did your KNOWLEDGE of the game set you up for anything else? No? Then you're in the same boat as every other negro in BGOL. Someone who had the physical gift to play but not the mental gifts to teach. What makes YOU think you're smarter than the rest? Seems the logic I'm using escapes you.
It's called human nature. If a government worker, professional athlete, whatever steps in dog shit their reaction is THE SAME. Speaking as someone who knows more than a few CASH millionaires the basic conversation we have is how folks like yourself fall short. (Not an insult) You THINK there's a difference when the FACT is all things are relative. Their houses may be bigger but it's a home. Their cars may be nicer but it's just a car; and so on and so on...They situations that cause you angst cause them angst just in a different capacity thus the whole "it's relative" comment. There's nothing different here. Having better shit and a bigger bank account doesn't alleviate or eliminate the issues or problems. They are simply relative to their circumstance. Peace
You see Silas comments about last night loss? He pretty much said that they went back to playing DAntoni ball (isolation, 1 on 1 hero ball)...D'antoni must be coaching the defense too
Big 3...
Maybe give that a bigger platform... my boy went to one of those games in Houston and he said it was VERY good
No post up rulesBig 3...

Kyrie would be very hard to beat. If they had 3 point line then put Steph up there also...Nobody would beat Durant.
Well of course they did. They been playing that way for 4 or 5 years now. Not hard to see why that occurred....You see Silas comments about last night loss? He pretty much said that they went back to playing DAntoni ball (isolation, 1 on 1 hero ball)...
Kinda true....
