Kevin Durant disses Stephen A for saying Dantoni 3s or Layups, Jordan focused marketing negatively impacted basketball

[HandyWithTheSteel]

Dudes who can’t make a layup or a 3 in an open gym accusing Steph Curry and Michael Jordan of ruining the game.

On top of the that, he doesn’t even know wtf he talking about. The NBA has always been a stars league that markets the Individual. This was George Mikan in the 50s:

Ehhh really if we’re being honest, TK and Wilbon started the debate shyt, but Skip took it to a whole new level to the point of what we’re seeing now.

PTI yeah true but they didn’t focus the majority of the show on one player though

 

[Thavoiceofthevoiceless]

As I’ve said before, both Bron and Skip have benefitted from the exchange, but it’s negatively had an impact on the game even if it brings in eyeballs and revenue.

I don’t see how Bron benefited at all..

If anything the criticism he gets is based off of Skip‘s bullshyt narrative that he repeats every single day on TV for the last 17 years which leads to people repeating the shyt he says

Ratioed SAS with his own clip.

You have some nerve when that’s all you do.

Stephen A take is horrendously incorrect.

Stars have always carried sports franchises and when you think of bird and magic although the Lakers and Celtics were great teams those 2 were still the focal points and stars not only for those teams but the entire league. Jordan just took being a star to a point of marketing and branding never seen before. But the idea that fans or media thought in terms of teams rather than gravitating towards individual stars is complete horseshyt. Don't know how he formulated such a ridiculous take.

This isn’t true. Basketball is the only sport where teams supersede individuals. But it’s also not Jordan’s fault. The league chose to market him that way. Messi and Ronaldo where the biggest stars in the world but they were never bigger than Real Madrid and Barcelona and aren’t now. Those clubs are who they are. Tom Brady left and the Patriots still sell out every game. Basketball is the only sport where when a guy leaves a team most of the team’s momentum goes with him.

 

[010101]

it is a team sport

that will always be true

the bulls became an elite franchise & that provided the platform for mj to build his legend

same case for gsw & chef

Look at this picture book ass nxgga deflecting from the fact his own fanbase says the same thing about him.

 

[Street Messiah]

Mike dantoni was ahead of his time. absolutely nothing wrong with his offensive philosophy.

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

Double.

 

[Joe Sixpack]

Mike dantoni was ahead of his time. absolutely nothing wrong with his offensive philosophy.

Except he doesn’t win titles and has zero defensive principals

I'll keep on saying it until it becomes a reality: can someone please send KD a Coli invite (I don't use Twitter). He needs to come home.

If ever there was a perfect time, it's now. Off-season, KD clearly has time on his hands. The Coli experience would be good for that man.

 

[Fctftl]

I agree. Look how much talk has changed, even on here, its all about “so and sos legacy”, “are they top whatever”, bla bla bla, instead of watching the games and talking about the play making. I blame Skip and SAS types on tv for this nonsense.

 

[inndaskKy]

Except he doesn’t win titles and has zero defensive principals

Except he's also one of the pioneers of the 'switch everything' philosophy. D'antoni's influence is incredible when you really think about it.
