Wow, a Warriors fan said Draymond Green could guard Kareem

[Consumed]

They're trying their best to revise history and put up straw men to essentially wipe what the Warriors have done over the last half a decade, all the while contradicting all the Super team rhetoric that they spend all these years building.

some neurotic shyt. they’ve been spinning the narrative in whatever direction makes the Warriors look worse since the ‘15 playoffs

i’m genuinely stunned that all that bytching about the Warriors never needing KD, four all stars (Klay and Draymond overrated tho) + questionable DPOY + Steve “ain’t coachin shyt” Kerr system = forgone conclusion is now thrown out of the window because of a small sample size where the roster is unrecognizable.

U mad that the Warriors “dynasty” is literally the least respected in NBA history?

@Consumed is one of the most knowledgeable posters on this board; he's one of a very few who has actually watched games from previous eras and knows how to break down the game, unlike @UpAndComing who has absolutely no idea of what the fukk he's talking about.

why can't he with help. Draymond is extremely hard to move on the block, he forces a lot of turnovers against post players trying to establish position and the Warriors are great at swarming/making it difficult for teams to make routine post entry passes.

the disrespect of Klay and KD defense exposing these casuals. Another L for the bipolar @Gil Scott-Heroin who continually embarrasses himself on here

Please, please, stop embarrassing yourself. I say this for your own good. Dap fishing isn't going to hide the fact that you're a sad little man who can't think for himself.

We acting like Malik Rose ain't used to give Shaq fits?

The right small bigs can do better than you would think.

6'9" skinny-ass Brian Grant guarded Shaq a lot in the 2000 WCF. 6'6" Chuck Hayes was probably the shortest center that guarded Shaq.

Ben Wallace was a beast but supposedly he's only 6'7" yet he could guard anyone.

Dennis Rodman matched up with most of the bigs of the 1990s and he was barely 200lbs and maybe just 6'7".

Dave Cowens used to guard Kareem at just 6'8".

6'7" Wes Unseld would guard Kareem and before that Wilt too.

I legit feel embarrassed for some of y'all who've supposedly been following the game for most of your developed lives yet are still stuck at the ground level.

So now you comparing Wes Unseld to Draymond Green?

This thread just keeps on giving

Draymond is 10x the defender that Wes was. Of course, I wouldn't expect you to know this since you don't know what the fukk you're talking about.

Where did I do that? The guy I quoted was talking tongue-in-cheek about Malik Rose, and I compared no one to anyone.

Some of y'all would rather talk about other posters than talk basketball. Expose yourselves brehs.


Edit: Not that an actual compare/contrast between Unseld and Draymond wouldn't be interesting though. They were both very undersized centers, had some differences and some similarities in skill set and accomplishments.

Aren't you like 19 years old?

I wouldn't expect you to understand.

Draymond is not a center
He's a tweener SF / PF
A role player and 4th option


Wes Unseld was a League MVP and Finals MVP... Which is why I'm laughing at the comparison
