And if you put aside his dad?

It is completely nonsensical that Steph Career has become the greatest shooter of all times coming out of muthafukin DAVIDSON!!???

His story in it's own way is just as insane as Lebron's.
Agreed, but let's not compare stories. Because each individual's is different and deserves to be looked at and praised on their own merit.

Because all are different and all room different paths to get to where they are today.

Because you know somebody will come here and say, "So in so lived out of his car and had to play basketball with one shoe"! :roflmao:

But yes, Steph's path and growth is amazing.
 
I talk shit about Lebron and his specialized diva ways at times, but Lebron wins. Everywhere he goes he wins.

Everywhere he goes he's expected to win and isn't content with just playing. I'm not saying that KD is, but LeBron's active in making shit happen.

KD has never led a team to a 13 win season like your boo thang Kobe. He's a better player and just as good of a leader.
 
Imagine your team trades for another teams best player who is the highest paid player in the league. And instead of feeling good about the acquisition and promoting upcoming games, you're reminiscing on NBA Finals from 10 years ago and Finals MVPs you didn't win. :roflmao:

Tell me your career was irrelevant in the 2020's decade without telling me your career was irrelevant.

Wtf?!?

It's crazy how the league is now...

From the heralded new young face of the league to a wannabe thug to most electric player to never plays to potentially traded.
Yeah, I'll be surprised if the grizzlies trade Morant who's their franchise player. Unless they want to rebuild again, because players like Morant don't come by often in the draft.

that is EXACTLY what we have seen for years now.

Trade or free agency

People forget even Chuck was traded for scraps that Ewing trade was a mess.

Okc had harden KD and Russ at the same time.

Harden from Houston to Nets Philly

How AD left NO now Dallas

even with all the taxes and aprons?

Even the Paul George thing going back to Indiana OKC to Clippers

Luka

I unless you got a a Beal or Embid type insane salary contract?

But, I do expect a lot of fireworks in free agency this summer.

I'm just calling it now. A lot of these big name players will get traded in the summer shaking shit up.
 
4 first round picks
Jovic
Jaquez
And salary match guys to make the money work

Pat Riley would never acquire a player like Ja. He wears gold teeth, has locs, hangs with a "posse", and has an active father. He also isnt known for playing defense. Nothing about his game or character passes the Miami Heat filter.

Gold teeth and locs are literally the dress code in Miami

We can make him a passable defender
They did miracles with Herro and Robinson

I'm gonna say it again slowly. If you think Israeli born Mickey Arison and Pat Riley who played on an all white college basketball team are gonna make a 25 year old Black man with locs and gold teeth the first image people see when they think Miami Heat I've got some beach front property to sell you in Fort Lauderdale. The Heat have never had a player with gold teeth before. We're not talking bout hiring a garbage man in Carol City. This is a major corporation that represents Miami globally. Add in the embarrassment Jimmy just put them thru, you not getting any players with alpha personalities no time soon.
