Piru P says KD joining Golden State is like a kid becoming friends with bullies to not get Beat Up

unless your bird or magic (being drafted to play with cap, or getting mchale and parish your second season more than likely you're going to struggle)

Part of the process of winning is losing first.

Almost all superstars HOFs had to go through hell to win. This isn't anything new with Durant. The biggest difference is the guys i mentioned did not have another top 5 player with them nor did they jump to an already great team to win. People don't criticize durant for leaving, they get on him for going to the warriors. If he went to the wizards, spurs, bulls, etc.. no one would bat an eye. People question his competitive spirit by taking the so called "easy way" out to win a ring.

So it wasn't by the luck of the draw that they were fortunate enough to have good GMs, no?

You're going to say no, right?

If so, you're being dishonest. If you agree, then why fault players for taking their careers out of the hands of their GMs and in their own hands?

The Truth for a reason brehs

 

[KingJay]

Maybe breh just didn't want to live in wack ass OKC.

There are other cities he could've gone too

 

[Brief Keef]

That's EXACTLY what this is. I said this very same shyt the minute that Olive Oyl stick figure signed with GSW

Why didn't that fakkit sign with the Celtics? They have a good team that has mad draft picks they can flip. Great young coach and incredible legacy..

He wanted NO PARTS of Bron without a slaughter crew behind him to jump that nikka on some 3'o clock High shyt

fukk KD

so why would he do what you want if going to boston means he wouldnt beat bron ? lmfaoooo yall nikkas stupid

the thunder had 3 mvp candidates in durant's 3rd year. russell westbrook or james harden caliber player did jordan have in 88?

Again i have no issue with durant leaving, my issue is where he went to.

Paul Pierce: I wanna fight. That's just where I come from.

Paul Pierce is from Oakland.
Pierce. Marshawn. They just built differently.

Paul Pierce is from Inglewood

 

[VBM]

Absolutely

But again, if Durant wants to win as many rings as possible then he'd be stupid to not join the warriors

True, but his legacy needs to be graded on a curve then. A couple rings as a sidekick to the Splash Bros = the same asterisk a guy like David Robinson got for winning 2 rings as Duncan's sidekick.

Why would it have been ok to go to the Spurs? A team that was only 2 years removed from winning a title, had the player who finished 2nd in MVP voting, another player who was perennial All-NBA while also having the best coach in the game?

What is it about you not answering questions?

 

[Remote]

Paul Pierce is from Inglewood

Wasn't born in Inglewood.

 

[Jplaya2023]

What is it about you not answering questions?

I answered your question. About the GMs? Durant had a good GM as well. They all had good GM's but they still had to learn how to lose before they knew how to win.

Pistons GM drafted joe, salley and dennis to compliment zeke and lambierr

krause drafted pippen and grant in 87

philly GM for moses

jerry west is the goat GM

Presti drafted russy and harden and ibaka after durant so they had a core as well.

But we all know what he reps tho...

See two posts up.

 

[Flywin Lannister]

Reminds me of Bill Burr's take on the situation months ago at around 4:30

Went from a Paul Pierce disliker to nothing but respect in a 15 second clip.

10 rings and I'd never respect this KD dude. Barkley, Drexler, Malone, Stockton, Ewing, Miller duked it out with MJ like champions.

Pierce


Pippen's reaction says it all..

KD if he one day wins a championship will be the least revered champion ever. Fact.
