“This nikka really got no wife or kids at 36.”

[King Poetic]

Majority of these athletes who have kids and with multiple women, don’t realize that woman never had no love for them nikkas anyway and it’s just a way for those broads to lay on they ass, shop and travel on your dime and then create some bullshyt business or tv show to show they are these well rounded business women who making moves

Bless his heart and mind. That man doesn't know what it is to step on a Lego or Hotwheels at 2AM in morning on the way to the toilet.

Some people don't want children. Some people would rather wait till their career is finished so they can give the actual time to be an actual parent. Like Lennox Lewis did.

And some people who are parents/have children should of never had them in the first place due to them being selfish in nature and that hasn't changed since having kids.

This is very true. I actually give KD props for not being like Tristan Thompson and having do many kids. It's hard to be a good father and too many men and black men in particular make so many fatherless homes like Nick Cannon and Future.

I see no issue at all.

Guy living a dream, one of the greatest players to touch a basketball. Huge bank account. Y’all think he worried about a wife or kids? Something he could have at anytime he pleases…but how long can he play? Ol boy take his career serious. Y’all could learn a thing or two…

 

[Armchair Militant]

I'd say up until 2010. Social was around but it wasn't such a huge factor in people's lives like now.

Nothing was the same after instagram dropped

 

[Weaver31]

It's a shame too many of us in our community treat focus and discipline as something that is unusual or weird.

Totally agree....some folks already stereotype black men and say we have no impulse control and lack discipline.

Unhappy father and husbands always giving shyt to nikkas because they don't have a ball and chain

He has unlimited time. Maybe he wants focus on his career and wait til he retires.
99% of women will overlook him being ashy and not combing his hair. Breh is 6’11 with over 100 mil.

So many of these athlete wives complain about how the fathers aren’t present in the marriage and child rearing because they are always gone. So even if he did have a wife and kids, when his business kept him busy, they’d complain about him not being present. Can’t win at life trying to please other people.

This whole part! Last sentence is so true...I learned that going thru life.

Exactly.

KD is still elite at his craft and doesn’t have the burden of family especially if that’s not what he wants. So I’m not seeing the issue.

Autonomy and freedom are priceless.

And people who have never even had a piece of those things will never understand.

 

[King Poetic]

KD made over 500 million dollars over 17 years on the basketball court alone

And more millions off the court

No wife, No kids , not being like Ant man begging hoes to get abortions, not being like Zion who got some passed around ho pregnant and think he hit the lottery, not PJ Washington who also got the worldwide ho Brittany Renner knocked up and has to deal with her for 18 years

All people joke with him about is being in broads DMs, but hell nothing wrong with that when u trying to fukk and not leaving any seeds around..

KD doing everything right

I remember people was desperately trying to pin Jay Z with kids back in the early 2000s and Jay did the right thing, got married to a chick with as much as him and had kids and not getting caught up like fools

 

[Ghost Utmost]

People think it's weird that I don't have kids.

I'm 49. Was married for several years and shacked up with a few chicks for years apiece.

I could be shooting blanks. Except I know for sure one of my gfs had a miscarriage. I was mid 20s. I was on point for the most part but I guess I slipped up. Really buckled down after that.

MEANING

I know what makes a baby. If I was tryna avoid having one I was careful. Only times I "tried" was late into my failing marriage. And I feel that she prolly stayed on BC even tho she said she stopped (career woman. Making much more than me. Ended up with a corporate Breh making serious money).

In summary. I don't have kids cause I was serious about being careful.

 

[Wild self]

It's a shame too many of us in our community treat focus and discipline as something that is unusual or weird.

Cause people want to have kids by people who they don't get along with, and raise them in substandard poverty and to struggle always

 

[pawdalaw]

He’s one of the best athletes in the world, He plays by the rules, he’s dedicated, disciplined, focused and has a real appreciation for Women.

How many athletes have you seen tearfully call their Momma the MVP on draft night? I’m sure many feel that theirs is. But he let it be known.

I have nothing but respect and most times admiration for Duke. I didn’t have my 1st child until 30. Had I had the world at my fingerprints then, I might’ve prolonged it

We clowning the nikka who coined the phrase “You da real MVP!” think about that! Now think about your life!
