Brehs, are we ever going to have a SERIOUS discussion about the PHOENIX SUNS and Kevin Durant?

[Versa]

I've always measured the best NBA players on impact, not stats.
This is why philosophy is the main way to judge a player. Does their approach and outlook on how to play basketball translate to winning at the highest level? So far KD's does not.

Kevin Durant is a 2 time champion and two times finals MVP. He's been to the finals 4 times and has dragged many teams to overachieving seasons and series.

There's many more creative ways to hate on dude than saying stupid things like how he plays basketball doesn't translate to winning.

Your name is MostReal - not MostStupid. Moving forward, I expect you to try a little harder.

KD been playing with at least 2 HOF caliber teammates for 15 years

Injuries, bad luck, and management stopped him from having at least 4 rings

 

[Shadow King]

I hate the timeline in sports. There's no guarantee that you'll win a championship with a 3 year window.

KD would make them champions and I would give up Williams and those draft picks if it took to get KD

And you'd lose your job within 72 hours of OKC losing any series before the Finals.

I expect KD to lead a non Steph Curry led team to a championship. Given his talent and amount of adoration he receives, I don't think this is too much to ask.

Saying KD's style of basketball doesn't lead to winning is either disingenuous or stupid.

How he went about winning isn't attractive to your sensibilities, and that's perfectly fine, but he won. Twice

Unless you're the white girl from MCU who dresses in red all the time and be having sex with Iron Man's robot, your feelings don't actual influence reality.

my feelings are reality

this is what is expected of a talent of his caliber. Trying to skirt it by winning with Golden State will not absolve him of that expectation.

Expectations? he's exceded expectations. People claimed his career was over, now he supposed to be winning championships? Brooklyn got robbed because of Covid. not Durant not being great or a leader. Phoenix is poorly constructed, don't know what you expect from them.

 

[Peruvian Connect]

he will def get in

Because of the Olympics, not his NBA career.

 

[T.he I.nformant]

he will def get in

If he stopped playing today you think he’s gettin in?

 

[NZA]

Since when is Book a HoFer?

when he became the suns leading all-time scorer at a young age

 

[L $ C]

If he stopped playing today you think he’s gettin in?

no, but hes not going to stop today lol

I don't like answering disingenuous questions. I'd rather you just disagree and I can go about not caring that you do.

Since when is Book a HoFer?

The minute he became Kevin Durant's teammate because it's easier to sweepingly say he's played with stacked rosters his whole career than to explain his failures than to use critical thinking to consider things like roster construction, injuries, or Russell Westbrook potentially being the dumbest player ever.

I told you that I expect you to elevate your posting to a higher level, only for you to follow up with YouTube links featuring Kendrick Perkins and Charles Barkley.

I regret believing in your potential and am going to ignore you now.
