Lmao

If only the nikka really felt like this, it’s no secret KD cares about the opinions of fans; dude was on a burner account defending his weak ass move

nikka can hoop but I agree wit @The_Sheff here; y’all let KD get away with saying a lot of BS cuz he has a pretty pull up jumper

None of this shyt means a damn thing without the fans
Caring about the opinions of the fans doesn’t mean KD put value into said opinions. KD is gonna do what he does on the court regardless.

KD values they opinion, if he didn’t he wouldn’t try to control narratives himself

I have a feeling theyre gonna beat them so badly they will let up the last 5mins and give them some pity baskets that will make it a 11-12 point win...

I know. I was being sarcastic.

Tatum is a great player, he’s just not multiple 1st team all nba great.

Who should’ve got his spots then?

Because Paul Pierce never made one that means Tatum should be ineligible? What exactly is your angle?

Put it this way, I care about the opinions of my parents about money but if they ain’t rich then I don’t put much value into said opinion.

Fans opinions don’t bring value to how good KD is at basketball. Don’t confuse caring for value.

For Kerr not to play him any minutes when guys like Adebayo are taking corner 3s is absurd...Hes doubling down on it after the first game just to prove hes in charge cuz he heard the criticisms...I wouldnt be playing Ant Jrue or Derrick White over hi.

even the biggest Boston homo (homer) bill Simmons has backed the D white over jaylen brown thing…and even understands the Tatum thing…he even said Tatum is being benched coz HE CANT SHOOT 3s and is even PASSING THEM UP IN PARCTICE

It’s an instant :mjpls:for anyone citing bill simmons for hoops knowledge. Gross

We still probably haven’t processed what just happened. Like look how people remember Kobe’s gold medal performance and a couple clutch shots vs Spain….we won by 11.

Then it’s a perfect storm of KD-Bron-Steph the icons of the era, and can’t forget it being against Jokic adds to the lore. Insane

Watching Bron get Steph and KD out of character is funny af. For years the Bron-Steph love has been kinda one sided. Bron is always efusive af praising Steph but Steph always with the tepid canned responses. Now Steph fully embracing it he wanted to cry when LeMotivator grabbed his head pause :russ:

And KD been in character for years now trying to cosplay as emotionless but Bron had him hype af and rambling after the game how he he’ll never forget this :russ: Crazy bc Bron did similar with Kobe in 08
