How many straight Finals did LeNomad get to before joining the Heat?

I can tell you how many he went to after the heatles. Like i said, hes the only constant from 2011-2018. The deus ex machina, the problem.

Hardetayour:
Man said Wilt like he was alive to witness him play

Man scored a hundred points in a game and has a body count of 20,000, you didn't have to watch him to know he's a don.

smoosh20:
Chai!! Bro!! 4-1 is sweep to me oo. Utah last season and who beat you guys sef?

No wahala..na your time to shine...Enjoy!!!

aliondo:


No wahala..na your time to shine...Enjoy!!!

Dont worry mate. After KD leaves all teams will be itching to take their turn with them. Maybe your OKC might get the first bite. But these guys better get down on their knees and pray they dont run into the lakers cause we are going to take a page out of kobes book. We will bend them over and rape them. Mamba Mentality!!!

These reporters make a living off lies and rumours. KD couldn't take the lies.

Can a bald man grow an afro? Dont let them deceive you into thinking this is anything else, its a fully grown afro.

not throwing shade. I'm just saying teams need to step up..

I can bet you that KD is the one whos lying in this instance. Hes just hurt. No way Chris would go make a bold claim like this knowing kd is mad at him. Just watch and wait for the receipts.

smoosh20:
I'm just mad NL doesn't allow gifs..

Lol. Even MJ everybody is shouting,most of us never see them play.

KarnThornheart:

So because Klay or Booker scored more than 60 points a game, they're dons now?

smoosh20:

Lol. KD is on Fire!!!!!

I guess KD has put him in a tough spot. Keep quiet and lose credibility as a reporter, bring out the receipts and lose confidentiality/trust as a reporter.

Hardetayour:

100 points. And did you miss the part about the body count? or do i have to expand on that?

ZenHallewell:

The only reason why Nairaland is still relevant is because of no competition. The mf that created this site didn’t make any major upgrade since the time of John the Baptist.

How many players went to 4 straight finals before they turned 26?

KD is not done replying people on Twitter. Lol

Here we go...

steady986:

How many players went to 4 straight finals before they turned 26?

So why are you asking me Jamb Questions? All I know is that in his 7 years in the League, he only made 1 Finals appearance previously. Whether he was 26,36 or 46 that one no concern me

Rob Pelinka and Kevin Durant, the brotherhood of the serpents. They hold the keys to lebrons future.

Why K.D dey fall my hands like this?? .......So sad

KarnThornheart:


Okay this Bledsoe slander has to stop. Man has a bad series and suddenly he's cancer? Lol! He'll bounce back. Bledsoe may not be the best shooting or scoring point guard but he's solid and an amazing defended too. He just needs to step up.

It's not just this series though is it? He was giving 9 and 6 points performances vs the Celtics with the only difference being His team was able to overcome such pitiable performances. Btw it's not just His scoring that has been bad this series. His Decision making makes His scoring look half decent. It's been atrocious to say the lest. You can't have your starting Point Guard delivering "Poverty Performances" in a conference finals. It's simply not acceptable.

ZenHallewell:


Here we go...

Hahaha.. Dude said they are all the same thing. Lmao. When an uncle says don't act like I'm lying, you don't even have to act like it.

This thread is basically the only reason I'm on this site. I've been done with this forum since 2013. Let's not start with the unnecessary bans and censoring words..

ZenHallewell:

Granted the heat were better than most eastern teams but the most competitive teams are from the west. Like i said the only constant about finals teams from 2011 to 2018 is lebron james, No one in the east had an answer for him and i guess that may have hurt his legacy to an an extent because he faced superior western teams in the finals hence the finals record. Add lebron to any eastern contender, the result would have been the same, he skewed the scales, he tipped the balance in the east.

So when we decry the level of competition why do you lot keep arguing? Just last year they beat a team led by a rookie to get to the Finals. Of course the streak itself is remarkable but the caliber of competition in the East was dodgy and that's just the bitter truth.

ZenHallewell:

I'm really glad you caught yourself here, Rajon Rondo, Ray Allen and KG all from the celtics made the all star game. PS The celtics were in the east.

Ray Allen - 36
Kevin Garnett - 35
Paul Pierce - 34

ZenHallewell:

You just claimed their moves were the same even though they couldnt be further apart, if you can arbitrate so badly, I am well within my rights to chime in.

That's my point. It depends on who you ask. The guys that stuck with bad teams till they became great (Hakeem, Dirk, Lillard, Reggie, Ewing) will see LeNomad and co in the same light that Bronsexuals see KD.

Who are you to judge?

ZenHallewell:

Your argument here totally missed the point. You are dancing away form the real point here. You claimed lebron and KDs move were the same, how are they the same? Lebron formed a team to try and compete. Another joined an already formed team that beat him BTW after he went 3-1 up against them and choked. A team that was already bullying the league and you join up to bully others instead of figuring out how to beat them or form a team that can? By any competitive standard that is super weak. Its the classic you cant beat them you join them move that weaklings are known to make.

Taaaa! LeNomad ran into a Celtics brickwall in the 7th year of his career. Why didn't he stay the course and keep trying to take them down? They were aging and LeNomad was entering his athletic prime.

To try and compete? Lmaoo! I would understand if the Celtics were a young stacked team but they were old as hell and already on their last legs so I'm not buying that excuse

The GOAT didn't run from Chicago after losing 3 straight years to the Bad boy Pistons. He kept fighting till he swept them and sent them to early retirement

Why will I witness that then praise LeNomad for crewing up with two top 20 players in the league (one in the top 10) and castigate KD based off semantics? They both bolted their teams for greener pastures

And need I remind you that 73 win team recruited KD. Blame Golden State not KD

ZenHallewell:

I remember as recently as 2018 when you lot claimed father time came for him. Or when he had back issues in miami and you lot claimed the same. Only he came back and put up legendary performances and remains on top till this day!

LeNomad's decline will be swift and brutal. Don't say I didn't warn you.

ZenHallewell:

LOOOOOL! If the lakers get AD and Kyrie, i repeat, the lakers will beat the warriors so bad, including kevin durant that oakland will be annexed to mexico. Just add some 3 and D players to that and the west will become "weak" just like you lot claim the east was weak.

If the Lakers get AD and Kyrie they will still catch that L. I'm praying the Lakers trade their entire young core for injury prone AD and Kyrie and a LeNomad who is staring down the barrel of Father Time's revolver. You will rant more next season than you did this season

ZenHallewell:

NOOOPE! Another common misconception, business can be handled anywhere. Space jam can be filmed in a few weeks during summer. Business played a role, but the major factor was his family. Bronny Jr especially who he wanted to come to a competitive basketball school in LA. A lot of players without charisma sell merchandise just by virtue of being the star players in huge markets, charisma has nothing to do with it. Embiid Butler and Simmons are top 10 in jersey sales, thats market power, not just charisma. Only the warriors have two players in the top 10.

Selling a few more jerseys does nothing for KD's bottom line. KD has said it himself that since joining the Warriors there are numerous opportunities he would never have known about if he was still in Oklahoma. Besides NY is a financial hub not a tech one which KD seems to be more interested in dabbling into

Then you should have had LeNomad stay with the Cavs and not join the Heat when he did then let's see how many Finals he would have gotten to

Baba, we can not all be the same and that is the beauty of this life. I respect KD for being himself now, in comparison to the "good guy" he was portraying with you guys at OKC. This is who KD is and he is at peace with it. I encourage everyone to listen closely to his MVP speech where he referred to his mother as "the real MVP", you may gather a little background information as to why he is the way he is. I am never going to blame KD or judge him because this is not a deviant behavior and this is speaking from a professional (clinical) perspective. My only concern/ question with this behavior is, does this affect his team? If it does, then the team needs to address it with him. I would love to think every team has a social media policy. Other than that, KD is who he is and we have to accept him that way. He is still my favorite player in the NBA right now.

That is where i have a problem!!!!!

Russ is Russ anywhere he goes......We all know who Bron is,no matter the team and the list goes on....Why did he have to portray a different character in OKC and show another in the Warriors.....That means he is not who he is....

They also swept a 60 win raptor team who were the favorites in the semis who bar lebron add any other superstar in the league to that cavs team and they would have beaten them, the pacers too. Barely a playoffs team with any other superstar in the league bar lebron that cavs team so...

I'm glad you're able to admit that, no need for "buts"

Ray Allen - 36
Kevin Garnett - 35
Paul Pierce - 34

Dont move the goal post, you asked for another team with 3 allstars and i gave you one. And i dont think pierce made the allstar team, rondo did.

That's my point. It depends on who you ask. The guys that stuck with bad teams till they became great (Hakeem, Dirk, Lillard, Reggie, Ewing) will see LeNomad and co in the same light that Bronsexuals see KD.

Who are you to judge?

People like barkley who came out to destroy lebron for joining the heat came out to discuss the parallels and rightfully so. Its one thing creating a super team, GMs do that all the time why not players? But what KD did is just too abhorrent. Like i said, he couldve teamed up with as many superstars as he wanted somewhere else and few people will bat an eye.

Taaaa! LeNomad ran into a Celtics brickwall in the 7th year of his career. Why didn't he stay the course and keep trying to take them down? They were aging and LeNomad was entering his athletic prime.

I'm sorry have you heard of Dan Gilbert? Put his legacy and trust in that mans hands? LOL! If it wasnt the celtics it wouldve been some other team with a more competent front office. 7 years and the best they could give him was mo williams? SMH!

The GOAT didn't run from Chicago after losing 3 straight years to the Bad boy Pistons. He kept fighting till he swept them and sent them to early retirement

It worked out for MJ but how did it work out for malone barkley and co? when they finally did try to win it was too late for them.

Its not leaving for greener pastures, its how you do it. He could've done literally it any other way and no one would blame him.

LeNomad's decline will be swift and brutal. Don't say I didn't warn you.

Yeah it will, at the age of 50 maybe. Not now.

If the Lakers get AD and Kyrie they will still catch that L. I'm praying the Lakers trade their entire young core for injury prone AD and Kyrie and a LeNomad who is staring down the barrel of Father Time's revolver. You will rant more next season than you did this season

Yeah ADs injury may be an issue. But thats a hypothetical, a laker team of lebron kyrie and AD I repeat will rape the whole NBA with no lube.

Selling a few more jerseys does nothing for KD's bottom line. KD has said it himself that since joining the Warriors there are numerous opportunities he would never have known about if he was still in Oklahoma.

Theres also the knicks if Cali is really that important to him. But right now the Knicks are the perfect fit.
