Typical Bron Stanleys trying to spin this like it isnt a p*ssy move on Kawhi’s part


Yall were just complaining for the last 3 years that the competitive balance in the league was bushed because of KD’s move, but what Kawhi is doing is ok? :mjtf:
Been saying the same thing. Dudes on here who probably parroting their sports media heroes coming up with all the bullshyt rationale why this is different Foh. The way they got there is different but the end result is the same which is a team that outside of injuries is going to be almost guaranteed to be in the finals. That’s why you can’t take cats seriously because they got different justifications if it’s someone they like or not. Shannon Sharpe stay on KD dikk about this shyt but now he dancing harder than a Laker cheerleader in Paula Abdul’s heyday for this team up Foh. Personally I’m for dudes to do what they want but I dislike dudes who are inconsistent on similar topics.

Nonetheless they missed the playoffs last year while Kawhi, while not on the same team yet, won a chip. He's clearly the power player in this scenario no matter what he does.

There are similarities. There significant differences as well. So significant that's rather silly to compare.

So let me get this straight...doing a TV special and pep rally (not alone mind you) is on par with blowing a 3-1 lead and then going to that team?
At the end of the day I just want to walk into next season with handfuls of teams equipped to win the title. If Kawhi stays in Toronto the balance would be incredible and make for a much more enjoyable 82 game season for me. We would have serious contenders in LA, TOR, PHI, MIL, HOU and teams like OKC, Utah, Denver, Portland, Indiana, Boston (eh probably not ( :heh: ) that will compete at a high level. Add in all the upcoming young teams, and the pending KD Nets return the following year. Would be a beautiful thing.

This the exact bytch logic in talking about. nikkas sound like bytches with all the excuses and shyt. Either your with dudes teaming up forming these almost guaranteed chips or you’re not. fukk all the semantics of blah blah blah is different because end of the day this potential team will be just as loaded and deadly as GS or Mia when they got together.

aka How dare you use context in an argument. Clown shoes.

Stars teaming up is stars teaming up don’t give me that record bullshyt because it doesn’t matter

Either stars teaming up and wrecking the league is good or bad


Facts

Lets use this free agency for an example

So if Kawhi, Kyrie, KD, and Klay were to team up you telling me people wouldn't have a problem with that :mjlol:

People letting KD ride :mjlol:

The only reason people are saying this move is okay is because they hated the Warriors that much after he joined the team and now Lebron has a chance to win again

“Oh I’m done with the NBA”

“This is the weakest move by a superstar ever”

“It’s not fair”

We really gonna act like plenty of folks, mostly people that hated Bron, weren't okay with the move? We gonna act like there wasn't plenty variance in the media? KD never became a "villain" like that. If we are comparing it to Bron's move to MIA, yes plenty of people let it ride.

Honestly I would say it's less Warriors hate, and more Lakers/Bron love.

I am truly amazed at the way that people gloss over him blowing a 3-1 lead, playing like shyt in the process, and then him going to the squad that he blew the lead to, that had been recruiting him all year, and attempt to compare it other, non-comparable things :mindblown:. There is nothing in the history of the league that can be compared to that or top that so let's just leave it alone.
73 wins is 73 wins no matter if they beat him or not. Just like it’d be 3 top 5-7 players joining LA( depending on what you think of Bron at this stage).

All the rest of that shyt is just noise. And no the basketball world didn’t let it ride

The records out West at that time were constricted. Sure the Lakers were the 4th seed but they were also 2 games out of the 9th seed. Also don't forget the Clippers were the #1 seed around that time and the Rockets were out of the playoffs. So a lot changed in the NBA from December to the end of the season for several teams.

Citing NBA records in December is as silly as saying a team that was leading after the first quarter should have won the game simply because they were leading at the start.

And don't act like LeBron didn't come back in February when the Lakers were only 1 game out of the playoffs declaring he had activated PLAYOFF MODE only to lose almost every game down the stretch. You Bron stan can try to spin it as much as you want but you know the truth. LeBron was exposed last season.

Man do you understand Chemistry changes when someone goes out. I’m not about to go back and forth,that nikka legacy good,top 3 of all time and about to win some more rings. Think what you want
