Bird dropped 35 on Dr J and told him it was time for him to retire. Lmaooo

I would've put them hands on him too.

Funniest shit I've heard Larry Bird say "I felt disrespected when they put a white guy out there to guard me"

an what KD saying?

"guard them niggas so I can shoot"

Lml that's mad funny

Brons series proves why they needed KD

How you gonna say a man putting up 35 8 5 on 55/45/90 don't deserve a ring?

He went point for point with LeBron in a close out game

NBA has always had super teams, the construction of them just change over time

There were up 3-1 without him last year. If bogut didn't get hurt the would have won.

I Just don't get the narrative that GSW needed KD to be the Cavs when they beat them before.

With kyrie and live hurt u willfully omitted that

Why would I need to say that..

Man, y'all niggas are more mad than I am.. I'm a thunder fan and y'all in here bitching like gsw wasn't going to win this year barring injuries.

What did y'all really expect to happen smh

Bruh how u gonna bring up the injuries for golden st losing and ignore the injuries Cleveland had the year before?

Because gsw is clearly the better team. They were up 3-1 When both were fully healthy

[Go figure]

When lebron went to miami people were saying it's a wrap jvg said they'd win 33 in a row and 73 games lebron talking bout throwing oops to pat riley on fast breaks.He said the objective is 'win not 1 not 2 not 3 'etc

Y'all having selective memory.What lebron and durant did was the same(joined all stars in their primes) niggas just mad durant took it to another level.

Nah it's not the same at all. Leaving Cleveland to go to a team where your starting PG is Mario Chalmers ain't the same as going to a team where your starting PG is the reigning 2x MVP

Naw he went to a shooting guard who had won a ring and finals mvp. Ur just moving the goal post.

That same Finals MVP hadn't been out the first round in how many years before LeBron and Bosh came?

Like i said, bron set the precedent.

Kd one upped him but they did the same aside from irrelevant variables. For the record im glad bron went to miami and got a ring. I wanted him to win in the finals this year and farther his legacy but im not mad at kd putting his career in his hands either.

Whatever u feel keep the shit consistent.

If u think kd copped out ima need u to feel the same toward lebron its more respectable at least.

Nigga a 2x MVP in Steph, one of the best 2 way players in the game in Klay, and a possible DPOY in Draymond aren't just "irrelevant variables" lol. Like I said I got no issue with the move but don't downplay the Warriors being a 73 win squad before he joined. Them niggas was great before, added KD and got even greater.

Right, kd teamed up with superstars.

As did lebron.

Youre just talking specifics theres really no difference, kd just did it with a better team thats all.

 

[ckfree]

kd just flipped a track thats been flipped but flipped it better

the principle was the very same

marquee players teaming up to better their chances for a championship

in both instances lebron and kd wanted cake walks to championships

look at these goofy ass mogs

rising out of the stage floor and shit

Spoiler

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFkwgtRyfos

they did undertakers wrestlemania 25 entrance to announce their singing to miami

like they literally held a summer jam concert talking about how many championships they were going to win before they played 1 game

the warriors unfair dominance only sticks out because the heat underachieved and got taken to 7 by teams that were beneath them

we look at the heat coming together and their label as superteam differently if they beat dallas but since they chocked some can say they werent

interesting

kyrie is really the perfect second star for lebron in a lot of ways

yet

they might need to trade him if they want to beat this gs team

on the low it says a lot that the only way kyrie can impact a game is by hitting a bunch of incredibly difficult shots

lebron a smart dude so i know that thought crosses his mind even when he see kyrie is killing shit

 

[WhoisDonG???]

KD did what he had to do and got his ring. Now he going for Legacy. barring injuries to the core they can run off a 3 peat. Happy for its KD and Steph time!!!

The specifics is where the differneces are though...

This nigga KD said Kyrie is better than Iverson.. smh.. *facepalm* Bruh..

 

[MarcusGarvey]

This nigga KD said Kyrie is better than Iverson.. smh.. *facepalm* Bruh..

Kyrie is a better shooter than Iverson, 3 inches taller, better finisher at the rim

Iverson had higher degree of difficulty at 5'11 165lbs - to this day never seen anything like it, it'd be like isiah Thomas doing it for 12 years straight

I don't think Kyrie can lead a team as the 1 option, he looks this good cuz of the luxury of playing with Bron

 

[Mister B.]

As good as Kyree is as a finisher, he's not great as a leader, which AI was.

If Bron leaves, or Kyree gets traded, when Kyree can lead a team to a plus .500 record for a season - let alone to the NBA Finals - we'll talk.

Let's look at both of their first three years and their teams:

Kyree:

A.I.:

 

[JusDre313]

3 of these guys are NBA champs

BRuh!!!!!... hilarious....

 

[Maywood]

This nigga KD said Kyrie is better than Iverson.. smh.. *facepalm* Bruh..

Uh Oh

 

[Peace_79]

This nigga KD said Kyrie is better than Iverson.. smh.. *facepalm* Bruh..

Ehhh .... I don't know about that.

He's an All-Timer though and one of the most skilled offensive scorers at his position I've ever seen.

 

[Beta]

Shoutout to AI shooting like mudiay from three

 

[infamous114]

 

[Crude_]

Kyrie without LeBron on that exact same team those guys would be lucky to win 30-35 games.

He's one of the most prolific scorers I've ever seen from that position when he asserts himself, but he's not the type of guy I believe can carry a team. He's a one trick pony.

He's not a great passer or rebounder either. He's a volume shooter and iso's to much. He's an excellent second offensive option though.

He'd just be another guy putting up numbers on a trash team basically.

Im hating, but this Pic dope
