I can't think of a player who scored 20K points and had less impact than him....

He was the "star" in Toronto but overall Kyle Lowry was probably better all along he just ain't lead em in scorin. DeMar was supposed to score but in playoffs he arguably biggest playoff dropper in NBA history.

He was 23-27 PPG in his prime but dropped off to 20 - 22 PPG in playoff. And his numbers was shootin splits of 41/21/85....

Raptors was one of the top seeds in that time but everyone knew he wasn't a superstar or even top 10 player.

nikkas like JR Smith, Solomon Hill and :flabbynsick: Paul Pierce was lockin this nikka up 1 on 1 in his prime shyt was wild. And scorin was only thing he could do.... Can't defend, can't pass good, not a rebounder, can't space floor wit 3....

Raps traded that nikka they "franchise player" and immediately won the title when they had a actual top 5 superstar wit Kawhi. I know that shyt burned his soul and still do and he talmbout if he was on that team they would won like he was gon do anythin to that Sixers or Bucks team :russ::deadrose:

And he was only makin all star cause Leastern Conference was historically weak in his prime. That nikka went out west to Spurs and ain't sniff an all star game and couldn't even make playoff in a real conference. nikka was an afterthought overnight....

He get traded to Chicago and make all star again :mjlol: now he won't even be in convo again out west he not even top 2 player on Kings now. Yet this nikka was makin all star every season his prime in Toronto only cause it was one of the weakest conferences in NBA history where 95% of the real hittas in the NBA was in west. Bron found that out his 1st season in LA too before he traded all em younings for AD.

So can it get worse for DeMar? Matter fact it can LOL now they swapped Harrison Barnes for DeMar..... The roster the exact same otherwise......... And Kings got MUCH WORSE...... They freefallin to a bottom 3 seed when they was in playoff/playin wit HB. Harrison is a much more well rounded player. That nikka even been winnin Player Of Week in SA and been gettin busy. Meanwhile DeMar low impact ass contributed to Mike Brown a great coach gettin fired and he just doin nothin over there

You look at DeMar career and Olympic gold he def gettin into HOF but he shouldn't on merit. Truth be tol prime for prime I'm not sure he was a clearly better player than wings in his own era like Luol Deng, Rudy Gay, Harrison Barnes, Danny Granger.... Ye he scored a lot points but in playoff he don't do shyt he arguably the biggest playoff dropper ever. Antawn Jamison scored 20k career points and I don't know if DeMar clear him truth be tol....

dribble dribble dribble, pump fake, contested mid range then falls down complaining to the ref when he don’t get calls 24-25x a game. He woulda been a superstar if he was drafted 10 years earlier

Nah he would been another Jerry Stackhouse probably better or actually he would be another Michael Redd but he wasn't gon be no superstar :mjlol:

If he was drafted 99.... His "peers" as in wings would been hittas like Kobe, TMac, VC, Pierce, Grant Hill, Ray, Arenas.... He not like that. Like Pacers Artest was a clearly better overall player than DeMar and he wasn't really seen as a superstar.

To be fair, that Raptors team only won because LeBron left the East & then everybody got hurt for Golden State in the Finals.

They would've gotten swept by the full Golden State squad. :francis:

The rest of that was facts .

That's what always tell everybody when they start going on and on about LeBron's "8 straight Finals":ehh:

2019 was a transition season for the conference

Giannis/Middleton/Brogdon/Blesoe/BroLo Bucks
Jimmy/Embiid/Ben/JJ/Tobias Sixers
Kyrie/JT/JB/Horford Celtics

There wasn't no East teams like that when DeRozan was over there stinkin it up wit Lowry. Those teams were way better than any other East team of that little era besides Bron/Kyrie/Love Cavs and even they would maybe lost to first 2. Bron in that 2nd Cavs run best player he played in Least was Playoff P :mjlol: he ain't have to see a Giannis or Embiid in playoff

Kyrie had already left Cavs in 2018. Bron wit just Love and role players gettin swept by 2019 Raptors. Bron never even had to deal wit a top 5 superstar in the Least when he was in that garbage conference besides 2011 when he played DRose wit Wade/Bosh on his side and in 09 against Dwight when he lost wit HCA.

Bron leavin conference had nothin to do wit 2019 Raptors winnin it all. Bron was doin shyt to that team. Matter fact Nurse Raptors was shyttin on Bron for a while since he could make adjustments unlike Casey. When LA won in 2020 they went 0-2 against Raptors only team they didn't beat that season.

That full GS squad was goin 6 games wit Lou Williams and Montrez Harrell :mjlol: blew 30pt leads and Warriors was actually bad at home that season they wasn't sweepin shyt. Their defense fell off in 2019.
