As the Lakers ball boy. GTFOH!! That mofo don't got one single playoff memory as a Warrior or King. They put one of Mike's plumbers in the Hall. Shameless.
Played 10 seasons, never saw a 2nd round. Gee, let's put Myles Turner in the Hall in this era.
And? Kobe was a bitch ass nigga from Itlee that grew up in gated communities his whole life. He wasn't tough for Reggie to be getting props off that. Reggie has 5 all star appearances and averaged less than 20 a game for his career, just like Lowry. Lowry a much better defender and champion though.
He won his first MVP playing worse than Bron did in the 2011 Finals surrounded by Hall of Famers. And choked away the 2013 Finals missing free throws in the clutch and getting absolutely cooked in Game 7. He won his 2nd Finals MVP facing a hobbled Golden State. Bron has won with 3 different coaches and 3 different squads, Kawhi hasn't come close in 5 years to doing that. But has been paid handsomely despite the fact.
LeBron ended Detroit at 22 years old and ended Golden State last year at 38 years old. Michael Jordan rushed back from injury and ruined his teams chances of making the playoffs in 2002 and was coming off the bench for Stackhouse in 2003. Mike's last game as a Wizard was off the bench, Bron's last game as a Laker is against the defending champs in the playoffs. You Jordan dickeaters can only live in the past. In the present, Bron making Wizards Jordan look super washed and out of shape and your shoe collection is played the fuck out.

Holy shit...
Ant definitely has the talent, skills, team, and general likeability to become the face of league. However .... (possible unpopular opinion incoming)
he's going to have to work on his language in public.
Speak however the fuck you want to in your private life, but I've heard WAY TOO MANY f*cks, sh*its, and worst of all n*gg*s coming out his mouth during his post game interviews and pressers.
Adam Silver is never going to promote someone to the top if said person can't be trusted with a live microphone.
I woke up and checked all my emails
Last year they played some of the dumbest basketball.
This year, they cleaned all that stupidity up. AE brings toughness and leadership. He’s an intelligent young man that knows the game.
Wolves got something to look forward too.

I was thinking maybe the barista at Starbucks accidentally hit you with a triple shot this morning lol
Beal you was trashed last night. Talking about you ain’t never been swept before.
I’ll always respect the things you did off the court in DC, but was never a big fan of you on the court.
@therealjondoe said that was Harden's one good playoff game and @largebillsonlyplease said yesterday Harden is finally stepping up in the playoffs.
Harden has more 30 point playoff performances than Wilt Chamberlain, Larry Bird, Allen Iverson, Tim Duncan, Dirk Nowitzki, D Wade, Kawhi Leonard, and Giannis. When fans hate you they really work hard to downplay your body of work, but then turn around and promote injury prone guys who take games off every year simply cuz they beat Bron once.
Points don't matter
Coming up.clutch is the barometer
Stop being obtuse
Beal is a bitch. And even if that was just a lazy/missed high 5, he's still a bitch. That is all.
Carry on.

At this point you're better off with Ben Simmons.
I agree with this, but at the same time the Phoenix Suns has personnel issues. Kevin Durant is reaching the end of his basketball life (he is not built like LeBron). And half-and-half is becoming injury prone. And Michael Beal is overrated.
Sorry Bills, body of work does matter. There's only one Michael Jordan. He's the only player that can just live off team success. Everybody else has to put in work as an individual. James Harden's body of work as far as points, trip dubs, big game performances, MVPs, all NBA etc. and impact is better than guys like Wade and Kawhi who won rings, but had minimal impact on the game. That's why he's already Top 75 and one of the highest paid players in league history. Only reason you dont like him is cuz you blame him for OKC getting whooped by Bron in 2012, instead of KD.
If they win that series, you'd be on his nuts just like Kawhi, since he beat him in 2014. 
Kevin Durant contract details: What Suns star's future looks like in Phoenix with Bradley Beal, Devin Booker | Sporting News
Kevin Durant and the Suns failed to win a single playoff game in 2024, as the Timberwolves swept Phoenix out of the first round.
The Suns built a superteam with Durant, Booker and Beal. It produced zero playoff wins
The Phoenix Suns thought they had built a formidable superteam during the offseason by adding three-time All-Star Bradley Beal to form a star-studded trio with Kevin Durant and Devin Booker.

James Harden couldn't beat KD and Curry, both MVPs that played each other then teamed up, so he ain't clutch.
Take away Steph and KD's hoe move that nobody respects and Harden would prolly have won a chip. He was the best guard of the 2010's.
Again... I am no longer involved with that specific organization as you well know
But ummm I feel confident that
you're delusional if you think Boston accomplished anything in the last decade. Literally it was Boston Philly and Milwaukee at the top of the east for the last so several years. Yet only one of those teams won a championship. I wonder who that was?
Bucks are like a car that can't get out of the driveway (two years in a row)
Pacers 126
Bucks 113
That car that cant get out the driveway is being driven by a leprechaun. And if Indiana thinks they accomplished something by beating the bucks without their top players, they're as delusional as you.
