aliondo: Lebron played a villain too in Miami actually. But yeah yeah KD is still a dweeb! |

Killrhymz: A40 Chic2pimp Exhibit A. I wont say anything else until after the bucks play today. Mark me, he'll make you swallow your words. Many superstars have had bad playoff series before doesnt automatically make them bums. Curry played like a bum for certain stretches in this playoffs, didnt hear you lot calling for his head on a pike. Leave the man alone. |

aliondo:That Russ you mentioned. Let me keep quiet. I don't see anything bad about KD in all these. Standing for himself is not a bad thing? People literally curse him, wishes he gets injured, criticize him for making the best for his life every single day. Their careers and livelihood depends on making him miserable everyday because he was a free agent years ago. It's almost 3yrs and these people will not stop. Standing up for himself doesn't make him different from who he is on OKC. He wasn't criticized then. He made the best decision for himself and according to fans and media, he's now the bad guy who ruined the NBA when he literally didn't break any rule. If they stop disturbing him, he wouldn't bother replying them. Let him stand up for himself. Westbrook would have punched a reporter by now if he was the one getting criticized everyday like this. LeBron handled that well to an extent. Like Roland17 ![]() |

aliondo: I am approaching KD's behavior from a clinical perspective more than anything. KD needed to establish and assure himself of his worth, winning the MVP and going to the finals and losing with OKC provided that platform for him. The good guy was a replacement behavior for what he is currently exhibiting because he desperately wanted to be accepted. Again, we must be careful not to refer to this behavior as deviant, because it is not. If anything, it is self-preservative and protective and this may have a lot to do with his growing up which was traumatic. This is why I want everyone to listen to his MVP speech and his emotional disposition during the entire speech. That award and speech was the proof he needed to become who he really is. |

You want to handle negative media pressure? This is how you do it! I miss villain lebron! ![]() Does it bother you that so many people want to see you fail? This was after the 2011 finals too when everyone was coming for him. Keep that same energy! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MT1jgFZZryE&gl=NG&hl=en-GB |
Re: The NBA Begins by aliondo: 9:37pm On May 22, 2019 |
smoosh20: Thats my point..At least we know what we are expecting from Russ given the kind of person he is.....Lebron started being criticized from the day he stepped into the NBA till this present day....I really give Bron thumbs up on how he has been able to handle critics and even keep his family out of it......What was K.D expecting when he left for the Warriors....FFS,he is Durant and doesn't need to reply...These are just analysts trying to get into his head and he is falling for it...There is no NBA show where at least one analyst will not scrutinize Lebron.. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 9:38pm On May 22, 2019 |
I'm going to be making a list of lebrons top 5 Franchise victims in the NBA. And no toronto isnt in first place. Just putting the final touches together. ![]() |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 9:43pm On May 22, 2019 |
ZenHallewell:The Bucks aren't playing today. Eric Bledsoe is straight trash homie! I didn't make my assessment off of one series. Steph Curry has never played as poorly as Eric friggin Bledsoe. This nigga is averaging 8pts per game on 24% shooting!!! WTF?? |
Re: The NBA Begins by steady986(m): 9:45pm On May 22, 2019 |
A40:Don't you get it? The heat needed him more than he needed them. Unlike KD who needed GS more than they needed him |

Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 9:48pm On May 22, 2019 |
A40: Yeah tomorrow. But i'm saying some players play below expectations sometimes. Bledsoe has never been a great shooter, nor has he ever been a great scorer hes always been a reliable stable PG who is also a great defender. You'll soon understand why the law of averages may only apply in the NBA. Ohh and first team all defense man, put some respect on his name. Those muscles arent completely useless. |

steady986:The Heat needed him but he ran there. Who had a Championship title before LeNomad joined them LeNomad or the Heat? KD needed GS but they flew their entire squad to the Hamptons to recruit him. Abeg make I hear word 1 Like |
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 9:53pm On May 22, 2019 |
A40: Mind you, Lebron and wade considered not signing up in miami but in new york or chicago as well. Wasnt just about the organization. I've always said i dont have a problem with the warriors going after him, i have a problem with him joining them. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 9:54pm On May 22, 2019 |
A40: I get tired of that false narrative especially when we know the truth and how things transpired. I will agree that KD and the Warriors needed each other but I will not entertain the argument that KD needed the Warriors more than they needed him, irrespective of how many championships he wins with them. If KD joined the Celtics and won the championship people will still be mad and argue he joined a team that was already established in the East. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 9:57pm On May 22, 2019 |
Roland17: LMAO! Established in the East? which celtics? which East? Eastern Nigeria ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 10:01pm On May 22, 2019 |
ZenHallewell:Does it matter if they went to Tennessee? A team with Wade, LeNomad and Chris Bosh combining what will the expected outcome be? No need to split hairs Why and who is the judge of what's best for KD? The onus is on the rest of the league to find a way to stop the Warriors not for KD and the Warriors to care about how they are perceived. Why did Sir Alex go on to sign Golden Boot winner Robin Van Persie? Everyone is trying to destroy opposition any which way. This is not a morality business |
Re: The NBA Begins by steady986(m): 10:04pm On May 22, 2019 |
A40:The Heat didn't win 73 game the previous season and didn't go to the finals the previous two years. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 10:04pm On May 22, 2019 |
A40: You've claimed many times before that stars dont make teams. The 2007 nets you disregard, or carmelo and amaare. You've said many times that sometimes they bomb, why backtrack on that now? cause its against your argument? The warriors on the other hand we already knew were a 73 win final team at least. The NBA is rife with many paper super teams that end up bombing badly. These are your words, stop being disingenuous. Well he made his bed, he should sleep in it. He did whats best for him but screws the whole league? Fine! But how about he should stop b-tching when people tell him how soft his move was. If whats best for him means no one actually respects him or his plastic rings then he should be able to live with people telling him that. Its like shitting in a public park because you're pressed only to act surprised when people come for you. 1 Like |

aliondo:Fair enough. Our disappointment is that we expect someone like Kevin Durant to be able to bone shít like these. Turns out he's human after all. These guys are human. Rudy Gobert cried on camera when he found out he wasn't getting DPOY award, Draymond sent a dick pick to the wrong person, Matt Barnes drove all the way to beat up Derek Fisher for screwing his babe in his house. As in these guys are just human. Hiding these emotions is never a good thing. I'll take this over bottling it up and punching a reporter in the face one day. I don't believe Russ would punch someone. He might but you get the example. They are humans. 1 Like |

Roland17:Lol the way I see it Super teams started with Barkley, Olajuwon, Drexler (later Pippen) Old (mid 30's) relatively past their prime greats on the wrong side of 30 Lakers Malone, Shaq, Kobe Payton 2 of the 4 were on fumes KG, Allen, Pierce. (2007-2012) Just nearing the end of their prime early 30's LeBron, Wade, Bosh Super team formed with all 3 at their athletic primes 28 and younger Golden State You can see the evolution. Just like from the first Android to Android Pie. It's just that human beings by nature are full of double standards and hypocritical. Everyone tried to beat the system one way or the other. One team just took it to the next level 1 Like |

Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 10:20pm On May 22, 2019 |
steady986:Nobody cares if they went 0-82 and missed the last 10 playoffs. When the Celtics Big Three formed they were 16-66 yet everyone knew they were going to be a problem |
Re: The NBA Begins by steady986(m): 10:24pm On May 22, 2019 |
A40:Exactly, that is a team that needed help, and not GS |
Re: The NBA Begins by smoosh20: 10:25pm On May 22, 2019 |
A40: steady986:You'd make a great father with your patience I swear as you keep answering this guy and his elder brother here hoping they might learn someday. Cos I swear I won't even bother answering this regurgitated crap everytime. [s]"LeBron case is different because he joined the Heat with Bosh he didn't blow a 3-1 to them and they didn't have a 73-9 record. "[/s] Like Kevin Wayne Durant was supposed to ask one Sheikh on NL who had kunu for iftar what team is ok for him sign? He did what free agents have the right to do. How hard is it to stop riding another man's shaft and let KD be? |
