Kd the type of person to play on rookie diffuculty in 2K and say why not?
Alpha X
LMAO!!😂
Alpha X hahaha😂😂😂
Alpha X lol
and average a triple double the whole season lol
and Lebron playing every season of his career in the East is what? D-League level difficulty?
Molly's been noticing how much freedom of speech and liberty they give Joy over at Undisputed, and decided to give it a try over on First Take. But Stephen A ain't having none of that😂 she just sounds irrelevant
Buhle Mwanza. And at least Joy knows a little bit about basketball unlike Molly
I 100% agree with you my friend, overall, apart from Stephen A Smith I think FS1 has a way better crew than ESPN
Buhle Mwanza Difference is joys not annoying and undisputed is way more playful when they debate. skip and Shannon are both trolls lol
Allen Iverson ur a dumbass warriors bandwagon stfu kid
You're a fucking dumbass kid. What did I say that was wrong exactly? Golden State is my least favourite team btw and KD is my least favourite player. Im guessing you're a Cleveland fan if you're acting like this
Molly keeps trying to talk and nobody pays her any attention 😂
because she don't know shit about basketball
it's her fault not being good enough, I remember Cari Champion doing just fine, Skip Bayless was much meaner than Max Kellerman
Motherfucker like she deserves
no really, Molly should shut the hell up!!!!!! She's not part of the debate.
The way people talk about female reporters is crazy and disrespectful. Lml and y'all wonder why feminism exist 😭
The NBA scammed us all. We knew what was gonna happen when Durant went to GS and we literally just spent like 7 months watching basketball for no reason
This!
Exactly
It’ll be great when Curry retires.... I’d like to see him join another team like the Jazz or the Pelicans
The other teams need to get smart and start making trades
And to this day I can barely watch the nba. Everyone keeps riding the warriors acting like they didn’t ruin everything
it's not that I don't like KD's success, it's just how he did it
Chaz Bustos - Free Agents leave all the time
That Bitch Kristine Leahy #StayInYoLane not to the team that beats them and not to your ultimate rival. Bitches make bitch moves
That Bitch Kristine Leahy #StayInYoLane not to the team that bears them and not to your ultimate rival. Bitches make bitch moves
Then put lebron's name in your comment too. Remember how he left. DON;T EVER FORGET I'M TAKING MY TALENTS TO MIAMI on national TV
Jerry Huang yeah but Miami wasn't built up yet and LeBron was part of that rebuilding whereas kd joined a 3 all star team that obviously was already really good and then they were so good theyswept the playoffs like it was nothing. You can see why kd is called a snake when you understand kd joined a superteam while LeBron built one
He ain't lying season was wack
Nobody gives a fuck be gone bitch
If your are a Cavs fan!
Whopper Mage6171 we do give a fuck dumbass
I give a fuck.
We do indeed give a fuck about this season being complete ASSSSSS
KD did ruin the league, max and other people don't understand. When the lakers and Celtics were dominating in the 80s, it still wasn't clear who was going to the finals, (which is why the 2 teams never met 3 times in a row) when Jordan was doing his thing, we still didn't know who he was facing in the finals (out of 6 times he only saw the same team twice). The difference between those super teams and today is, at this point in the league and before this season even started it's clear that the warriors and cavs are going to the finals and it happened as expected this year, and unless shit change it will continue to happen for at least the next 2 or 3 years. The same two teams in the finals for 5-6 years? That's whack homie, where's the suspense ?
Mr.Wavy24 Also Cavs need to add like a paul geroge type player just to make it fair
Mr.Wavy24 Lebron ruined the eastern conference for the past 7 yrs
clutchbot 02 and that's something we can live with, he's a once in a generation player, like Jordan. Those people come around rarely so when they do it's something you just live with. Lebron and Jordan always lead their team to the finals in their prime but before KD joined the warriors (just like the 90s) we didn't know who was going to come out of the west so there's still that element of suspense and uncertainty. Once again KD fucked shit up. Jordan wasn't facing the same team out of the west every year and neither was bron, until KD fucked shit up. Once again, the same two teams in the finals for 5-6 years? That shit is WHACK homie.
Mr.Wavy24
Well, taking that logic Warriors are a once in a lifetime team. Let them be.
Mr.Wavy24 and here it is, in 2018, and the Dubs swept the Cavs to win it all again. LeBron is leaving the Cavs. The Warriors will win the championship again in 2019, unless the King plays on a West team. If the King signs with the Rockets, then they will be an even BETTER team than the Dubs, but only if Paul George stays. If Paul leaves to go to the Lakers, and LeBron signs with Houston, then MAYBE the Rockets put out the Warriors in the West finals. If LeBron and Paul George sign with the Lakers, and Kawhi Leonard leaves S.A. and goes to the Lakers, then the Lakers will be contenders for the first time in ages. They COULD put out GS in the west Finals with a team like that. We will see what happens.
Don't tell me BLOWOUTS ARE GOOD FOR THE NBA! It's not! FFS
Right lol ... this is the nba not D1 vs D3 lol
What's the point of every game being won by half-time. What's the point of watching a game that you know the outcome? It's just sad the dirty GSW had to injure the Spurs, which were the only team that had a chance to play a competitive game
Jafninetyfour
Yeah and whats worse is that while us true basketball fans are suffering through this dark era of the NBA, we are subjected to all kinds of taunts and name calling from these classless GS fans. In my experience the worst fans in any American sport come from the coastal cities like New York, Miami, LA and now GS. I believe the reason for this is because of the high concentration of FOBs who tend to jump on any popular trend so that they can have the illusion of fitting in.
Honfy Lam lol stfu. None of the games were decided by halftime. The Spurs were not gonna beat the Warriors and for the love of God, Zaza didn't intentionally injure Kawhi. But wtf, if they're such a good team, why didn't Lemarcus step up, why did they blow that lead, why did they start sucking balls? It's not a one man show in San Antonio and by no means are they trash without him since they blew out another good ass team without him. GS is just a good team
Jafninetyfour
its actually hilarious and entertaining
These warriors are nothing to comparied to the 2082 warrior's 80-2. 16-0 playoffs
Aged well, they have no klay either, no iggy, no kd, no Livingston, draymond punching everyone. Steph just alone, they’re going 0-82
Personally I loved seeing just how formidable the Warriors had become. I loved watching my Wizards show the East what they could do. Loved watching Russ put up crazy numbers. Maybe there wasn't much suspense because we knew who was going to the finals, but it was still fun to watch.
He right the NBA is 🤢🗑trash now KD ruining it
Cuz he's to good
datboy donny no one talking about how lebron went on a streak in the playoffs.
You make another human speak your words. Fabulous
KD is ruining it? Thats just you being blatantly ignorant. Other teams this offseason WILL be making moves. You seem to fail to realize that there are free agents every single year and people get moved around, trades will be happening so that losing teams can get some type of value for their "stars" and build forward for the future. So what if there are 6 competitive teams going into next season because stars align other places and make it interesting... Is it still ruined? Because of KD? LeBron started all of this shit as far as Durant goes.
datboy donny W
If witnessing the greatest team ever means watching a team easily go 16-0 in the playoffs, then yes, its boring.
TheMLC35 I personally like watching my team going undefeated in the playoffs. It's very entertaining. Just like if someone else was watching their favorite team sweep everybody. All the haters can go cry in a corner somewhere.
- Born and raised in Oakland btw
TheMLC35 greatest team ever? Seriously, dude? I wanna see this "greatest team ever" go up against the 01' lakers or the 95' bulls or Lebron's heat or the big three celtics. Are u fcking kidding me with "greatest team ever"?
rybo joho I never said they were, witnessing the the greatest team ever is a Max Kellerman quote from the video. Video that you probably didn't watch
Michael Hearn Its only entertaining if its your team, you wouln't feel the same if the spurs or the cavs went 16-0
Dirk singlehandedly beat that Heat Big 3!
Anybody watching this 2020 in quarantine?
KD can take quarters off to let his teammates get his. LeBron takes his foot off the pedal for a second and the team falters lol that's the difference between these teams.
That's also the difference between Bron going to Miami and KD going to GSW. Warriors could have won the title without KD lol they technically didn't even need him. The title was within reach for GSW last year(more so than any team that has ever lost the NBA finals since they were up 3-1). The won 73 games last year lol
And one more thing, because personally, in my opinion, this is what really makes it worse than LeBron. KD was talking to Draymond about joining the Warriors during the WCF last year.. DURING THE SERIES!!! Did he throw the series? Did he give maybe a little less effort than he could have because he knew he was gone? I'm pretty sure if LeBron joined the Celtics(who were actually past their primes, not a 73 win team) after getting eliminated by them the year before and then it came out that Paul Pierce was recruiting him during their playoff series the year before.......the LeBron hate would be nonstop for the rest of his career lol
Everyone's saying the win the proves the move was right lol I'm pretty sure the only reason people were bothered by the move in the first place was because it very well game them the best chance to win. It almost guaranteed it and people were saying since the moment Durant signed lol no one would have cared if he went to a moderately good team.
Onlyrealmusic4life - If i could like this comment more than once, I would.
damn Max is rarely ever realistic. GSW ruined the season, specifically KD.
Wilson Lewis for you not everyone
Wilson Lewis
Yea man, its plain as day that this season was boring from a fan's point of view and its also obvious that GSW sweeping everybody is the reason why. Max is so fucking annoying these days cause he's always trying to put a different spin on things simply to disagree with SAS.
Huey Freeman for everyone not a warriors fan? for everyone that wants to be kept guessing somewhat?
Dan The man I'm not a warrior fan yet I have enjoyed this season a lot and I still enjoy watching the warriors because of their high level of skill and ball movement and defense it's impressive
Huey Freeman so u enjoy watching blowouts with a team u don't support?
This season was bull shit
bull chicago bulls
facts. soccer was better this season lol
Eric Britto half the world watches soccer stfu bitch
It's all good tho. If the warriors are gonna play dirty and build a mega team, then so can the cavs. The cavs are loading up. The finals this year is about to look like the all star game.
come on, MJ and Bulls completed 3-peat TWICE, will you say MJ and Bulls ruined the NBA? right now GSW is just going to get the 2nd ring, and the first with KD.
So it's okay for Lebron to dominate the east for 7 straight years but when Warriors are about to sweep him, they're the ones who ruined everything? Okay
Marlon Ndoro LeBron is the GOAT, that's why
It's about competitiveness. Miami went to game 7 against Indiana and Boston while he was there in back to back years. Just because Lebron has gone to 7 straight finals doesn't mean it was easy every year.
It was easy. Don't pretend like we didn't know who was going to come out of those Heat vs whoever series. The only series the Heat truly has to work for was Heat and Celtics Conference Finals 2012.
Richie Porter I disagree. Those Pacers teams were pretty damn tough. Lebron had to have some all-time great performances in order to beat them.
I thought so at first but the performance of the Pacers in game 7 was pathetic. They were not playing like a team that wanted to advance and by the start of the 4th Quarter it was already a wrap.
Stephen A. grabbing his notebook and pen killed me 😂 the sarcasm
Stephen A., I hope you read this. Tell the NBA to get on the level of Warriors instead of telling the Warriors to drop to the level of the NBA.
Daniel Alvarez That's literally impossible unless you gather four stars on a team ,it will be like 12 good teams everyone else literally trash don't be an idiot
Goat Like it's not the warriors fault. Steph and KD just simply work harder than everyone. Tell the rest of the NBA to work as hard as them.
Timothy Clarkppp
preach
Goat Like Curry, Draymond, and Thompson was drafted by the Warriors
The Difference between the other great teams dominance and the warriors dominance is that back then, there were other teams that could at least give a good series to them. Utah and Seattle gave the bulls work in the finals game series making it entertaining, The Spurs and Pistons were there to disrupt the Lakers, and the Pacers, Boston, and Spurs all gave Miami a great series. There was no other team on the Warriors level this year (except for the spurs, but they were injured), leaving the series to be EXTREMELY lopsided sweeps.
He doesn't like the Warriors that is his reason. LeBron's move killed the NBA.
Don't blame the GS Team, Blame the Team Organizations, Players Salary, Poor Training Regiments, and Immaturity! OKC didn't believe in KD they Believed in Westbrook. Westbrook mad because KD left before him! 😂
as much as i love russ he woulda left to oKC if the chance arose
Lmaooooo Westbrook been wanted to leave
Kassim A. Ibrahim I guess that’s why he signed an extension? 🤔
Game 6 2016 wcf and u tell me who fucked it all up. 10-31 and yes he threw that game so he could join a 73-9 team snake aaa 🤷♂️
Players leaving college early is destroying the NBA! The NBA is full of talentless millionaires!
Another thing about witnessing the best team ever is that this doesn't feel like a one year run or something coming to a close. If this is the best team ever than it feels like next years will be even better and the NBA could be non competitive for the next couple years
lebron been holding the east hostage for 7 years now. SAS never mentions that though. warriors made it more competitive no one wants to see lebron win every single year
zero Nobody knows if the Cavs or Warriors would have won if the teams had a trilogy together, then KD came and ruined any chance of a good series for the next 3-4 years.
zero wtf is that statement lebron is 3-4 in the finals so theyre beatable and teams back then were competetive. now this year kd joined a superteam that was close winning last year but fucked up and now having durant they would dominate this league.
LeBron is 3 of 4 lmao. What NBA have you been watching he's 3 of 7 about to be 3 of 8.
Richie Porter he not 3-7 in the finals he ain't been to 10 finals
warrior isnt winning without KD
So Max was defending the Warriors and Stephen A was hating them? Oh how the turntables. Max is right. People gotta stop complaining about a team for not being too good!
Delusional
I don’t understand. Why can’t we say all other teams destroyed NBA by being mediocre? If a good team rises, shouldn’t the other teams rise to their level to be competitive to make the games challenging and exciting? It’s not as if the other teams can’t work hard like GS.
Your delusional 😂🤣
The whole first minute was Stephen a smith talking about himself
the salt is real. I don't think kd would have got this much hate if he joined the cavs. everybody just want lebron to win now.
There's no denying this season was boring as hell. Before it even started literally everyone knew who would be in the finals. And because of that, they kept looking at their watch like hurry up lets get to the finals already and watch the cavs and warriors go at it.
“Hopefully the league can figure out one way where it can go back to the ’80s where you had three or four All-Stars, three or four superstars on the same team. The league was great. It wasn’t as watered down as it is [now].”
-- LeBron James, Dec. 2010
Don't blame GSW. LeBron brought this all on himself.
Leroy Green they love to ignore he planned Miami and the Cleveland situation. The nucleus of the warriors team was DRAFTED!
KaoMinerva wait a minute, everyone is fine being this and that for the warriors. but kd signed in and joined thats the problem
And? When the '82 Sixers lost to the HOFer-heavy Lakers in the Finals. In '83 they added Moses Malone who won MVP that year, went 65-17 for the season, and 12-1 in the playoffs on their way to the title, including a sweep of the Lakers in the Finals. Malone won Finals MVP too.
It didn't ruin the NBA; the league actually got more exciting right after it.
Leroy Green people just mad. LeBron not getting no ring playa.
Leroy Green not rly super teams were already a thing before lebron. No one says how Jordan was on a super team. Jordan had 2 three peats
Stephen A and Charles are the only ones speaking the truth about this BS.
I guess the bulls ruined basket ball
The golden State warriors just did what they want keep winning and don't matter what people say
thank god am not the only one that feels like this
lebron been to 7 straight finals in the weak ass east but KD ruined the NBA LMAOOOOOO
Bron Matthews LeBron never went 16-0 with most games being blowouts, the pacers, Celtics, and bulls all gave good competitive series. The Warriors made this playoffs extemely boring.
Bron Matthews oh and they lost 2 out of their 4 finals, while it looks like this warriors team will cake walk the next 3-4 years, it's so fucking lame if you aren't a warriors fan.
Please use your brain before posting dumb shit like this, no matter how small it is. I don't remember any Lebron's teams going 16-0 through the playoffs or joining a 73-9 team with 3 All Stars that just beat him a year before. Not trying to defend Lebum, he got ripped for his move to Miami and rightfully so but it isn't even comparable to KD going to GSW and the NBA wasn't even close to being boring then as it is now.
LeBron has only gone to the finals the past few years because the East has been a severely weak conference since The Lakers and Celtics Final in 2010. Him going is not an actual reflection of his talent or skill because there is no competition. When he went to the Heat they had a 20 something game win streak one year but everybody wants to act like the Heat were a completely broken team. The bias when it comes to LeBron is ridiculous. I'm not a KD or Warriors fan by the way, my team is the Wizards.
Lebron earned 7 straight finals KD took the easy way
Stephen A. Is 100% right. Most pointless 2 seasons of basketball ever. Not whining, he has every right to do what he wants and the team made it work. Just a fact. It was a weak, weak move. They should win and trample everyone. They're a legit allstar team. Congrats to their real fans who have watched for years before they became what they are. But it's a boring league when every single person knows 100% how it's going to end.
LeBron running through the East year after year ruins the NBA season as well.
willemdee he can join any team on the east and they will make the finals
Crazygood 2K Hell no that is a lie. He could not carry the nets, magic, 76ers etc. to the finals. Absolute nonsense.
willemdee a) The East is a weak-ass conference, b) at least there was always some drama in the West, and c) the Finals were never a done deal for LBJ's teams.
willemdee ur dumb ass fuck he is 3-5 dumbass
A team with a bunch of superstars just takes the fun out the game
Yet you enjoyed it when Lebron joined Miami......Smh. GTHOH. Steven A.
eyeh8u even tho the heat was a super team they still had competion, warriors are just going to sweep every finals
2 championships out of 4 finals appearances. 1 of those was a 7 games series. Do you realize that the heat were actually worse than sas. No team is better that gsw
eyeh8u the heat were 45-37 before LBJ joined
Conferences ruin the league not the warriors
I swear Stephan A. is as emotional as a teen age girl going through mood swings. Praises GSW one minute the switches up the next 😂😂😂...just enjoy the fact that we are all witnessing one of the greatest teams to ever play!
Stephen A is right. The lack of parity in the league is sickening. To have the same two teams meet in the championship series four years in a row, and to have the same winner three of those four years, is just awful TV. And unless you're a Golden State fan, what is there to be invested in?
For the guys saying that LeBron 7 straight and KD to GSW are the same. I know by experience, many people who stopped watching NBA this year because there's no competition. At least LeBron loses in the Finals, and actually he doesn't demolish the regular season and playoff rounds, his teams aren't that great.
This GSW team is so stacked by the fact the 2nd best player in the world and possibly Top 2 greatest scorers in the league, joined them after a record 73-9 season.
So did LeBum and Miami ruin the season too? Did Cleveland easily running thru the east 2 years in a row ruin the season? It's just crazy how people were like "73-9 don't mean nothing if they didn't get the ring" but now yall mad at KD? What exactly do yall want?!
Ahmad Randolph
Miami had to deal with: Boston's Big 4, the defending 2 time champions LA Lakers, a great young OKC team, Dallas, the unstoppable Spurs, Indiana etc.
Golden State has to deal with: ... Cleveland? Houston, SA and OKC have no chance against them.
You know the NBA is ruined when you KNOW who's gonna win
Back in the day players were like "Men i want to beat your ass so hard that you will be having nightmares about me". Now players trying to be best friend building banana boats, holding hand lets join forces becauses im a lazy ass who doesnt want competition.
You guys act like he went to the team he lost too because he didn't like OKC, he went there because the warriors offered him and he knew how good they were and it was a free ring. If anyone was in that position they would do so, what do you expect to happen when the best team in the league has interest for you. You'll join them.
it's funny lakers get praise for going 15-1 in the playoffs, but when gsw is nearly about to sweep "NBA is ruined" come on cuhhh.
They literally had TWO. Two players. The rest were all role players. And the competition was more evenly spread out. The warriors have 4 lol. Two of them who were the last 3 mvps. The lakers didnt have that. Talent disparity is completely off.
Jaden Ray i argue 3 because dray is really more of a threat on the defensive but anyway. Lakers was dominating teams just like gsw was. My point is that we as fans need to enjoy this just like fans enjoyed that lakers run.
Dray spreads the floor and can create for players like steph or klay with with his passing. Not to mention the fact hes an all nba player and defensive player of the year candidate. The talent was fine last year beccause the spurs and thunder could honestly compete with the warriors. Now its just different tbh.
Jaden Ray spurs can still compete imo i think gsw dodge a bullet when kawhi went down.
stephon kerr It goes back further than that. The Lakers came out of the West 8 times in the 80s
I gotta agree with SAS on this one. I was waiting all year for this matchup and the Cavs keep throwing up low percentage shots and playing horrid defense against a team so stacked that any mistakes mean a loss. It's been the most disappointing NBA season of my 27 year old life. It's not all GSW's fault, though. The teams with the other superstars were boring to watch aside from Russ Westbrook who really didn't have a shot to get to the Finals anyway. You know its bad when you're watching the Twolves and Lakers just to be excited for the future of the game.
"Lebron went Miami; KD went to Cleveland," it doesn't matter jumping ship is jumping ship!!!""""" So stop crying and play ball!!!""""" Why is it ok for lebron to run after a ring and not KD?!""""" Both jump the bandwagon!!!""""""
Cuyler Hawkins KD joined a super team LeBron didn't
Bruh Miami was garbage before LeBron got there😂😂
What's ruining the NBA is the Cavs winning Game 4 when this game should be ours.
Only beacuse they built theirself as a team really great its not their fault, take Lebron to Houston or whatever team make superteam and dont complain if they lose..Heat was a superteam 2 but nobody complained so idk whats the big deal now
That Stephen A intro sounded like the Rock recalling all his achievements in the WWE about to fight his last fight...
The cavs just swept through the entire eastern conference now it's a problem when they get swept ?
But it's not like Clyde Drexler or Patrick Ewing came and joined the '95 Bulls.
Lmfao Molly had to feel stupid after trying to offer her 2 cents
GET OVER IT STEPHEN A. seriously bitching about how you feel about KDs move is not going to change the fact that he is on GS. you can criticize him all you want and belittle him as much as you want on national tv. But at the end of the day, he made a decision to better his career just like everyone else does in the NBA.
NFL and NBA are both suffering from a lack of competitiveness from the lower half (possibly lower 75%) of the league. None of the the teams that were consistently bad have yet to turn it around so the league has a new contender
The NBA didn't allow Chris Paul to join the Lakers, with Kobe and Pao, due to competitive balance issues. Ironically, Cleveland and GSW were two of the teams that protested against the trade. Now, they're building super teams that make the rest of the league boring as hell. Irony.
Y'all sleeping on the Spurs. GS aint gonna be shit next year against a healthy Kawhi and possibly the addition of CP3. #SpursNation
There have always been dominating teams throughout the history of the sport. Boston Celtics won seven in a row in the 60's, in the 80's the Lakers team won 5 chips, the Bulls won two three-peats in the 90's and a few years later the Lakers would come up to win three more titles in a row. Even the Spurs, that won 4 titles from 1999 to 2007. So, I think it's nonsense to think that the Golden State Warriors are ruining the NBA just because they could become one dynastic team (they aren't yet), just like these other teams that I mentioned.
yeah NBA sucks when Cavs get 4#1 draft in 2 decade and the Warriors last #1 draft was Joe Smith...
And the draft has to do with this... how?
irrelevant ass post Patrick lol
Stephen A ... You are Wrong ... I was Born in 1960, NBA & ABA Fan from 1968 ... This is one of the BEST Seasons
SaS is the biggest contradiction in history. One hand he blames LeBron for not winning but then turns around and says KD ruined the NBA by joining a team that didn't need him
Soo, they argue how to make teams better, but if they are tooo good, they argue how it is ruining the nba? Wtf?
This is why I hate GSW haters because now that they are coming out the west year in & out the nba sucks. But wait, it didn't suck when the bulls did it or when the lakers did it. It also didn't suck year after year LeBron made it to the finals but now that the GSW are about to win and make NBA history it sucks. Logic...
Go Warriors, I hope that KD & SC win 5 rings together and ruin the nba for the haters.
a 73 winning team added Kevin Durant tho , bullls didn't add Karl Malone , Lakes didn't add Allen Iverson, and Miami didn't add Kobe
I don't get why gsw ass kisser don't seem that adding KD to already overpowered team is unfiar and I'll likely ruin competition , now Paul George or some shit has to join Cavs and it will be ONLY FAIR , that's how op that team is
Goat Like - It isnt unfair tho. Other teams should be able to get talented teams but dont. OKC didnt wanna keep harden there. Miami didnt even wanna pay Wade what he earned. Other players can go where ever the fuck they want. Especially if they are FREE AGENTS!
He was a free agent..he signed with another team, Goat.
Last time I checked a team signing a player was within the rules.
Do you think companies like Apple are going to settle with how they're doing or are trying to get better?
NYC1E1 4 allstars dumbass 4 allstars fake NBA fan
Boy it's frustrating not being able to see the whole segments
when KD made a move to join gsw,most of the people predicted that its not going to work cause they labelled KD CURRY AND THOMPSON as CHOCKERS..and now that they proved the haters wrong y'all losing your mind? pathetic
The reason the finals aren't great because we still play east vs west.
it been that way for a long time you can't blame that on KD or golden State blame it on the League quit hating on Golden State and KD you didn't say that when Miami was winning stephen.a Smith you weak just like the Eastern Conference
too many one and done's from college and finding out they aren't ready for the big time.
don't let this distract you from the fact the warriors will go 16-0 in the playoffs
GOLDEN ST. GAVE UP 5 KEY PLAYERS OFF OF THAT 73-9 TEAM. AND IT SHOWED
THEY WERE 67-15 AND KD MISSED 19 GAMES AND THEY STILL HAD THE BEST
RECORD IN THE LEAGUE .
There is this delusion that the only reason to enjoy the game is through close competition. It has to be said that every now and then witnessing history can be very very enjoyable to watch! And right now, we are witnessing history
I agree with him for the first time, probably ever.
He should blame Cavs GM for paying huge money to chokers like Tristan Thompson. Warriors don't waste money like that and that's why they will sweep Cavs.
You can only witness this Warriors team once in a lifetime. Most of the super teams rely on ISO so much and so boring to watch. Seriously if you are a basketball fan, just enjoy greatness while you can.
Actually, the media did by throwing around all that 3-1 crap over the internet, So the warriors basically said "Okay, well let's just go overkill"
It's like a philosophical debate
How is it the warriors fault there's a lack of competition in the league ?
xzldefine how? You really just asked that dumbass fucking question
Alweezy LMAO 😂
Alweezy it's not dumb at all. Others players should get better
Logan Merrill It's a great team. Do the Spurs ruin basketball ?? No... The warriors have great players yes but they also have a great system.
Yeah its Golden State fault. They should just give away 2 of their all stars so it can be more competitive and everyone will be happy to watch NBA. Keep dreaming moron. If your team drafted 3 all stars and added one more then you wouldn't be saying shit.
Max is wrong you're not "necessarily" arguing that you don't want to see the best team of all time, you're just arguing you don't want to see that team come about in such an inorganic cheap way
Smh double standards 😒
imee esgana there is none
don't act like you didn't wanna watch still
SAS was RIGHT this whole time.
With great power comes great responsibility. You're a Top 2 player. Sure it was the move that made him happy and pretty much guarantees him a ring (joining an already made 73-9 team does that), but it was ultimately a weak move as it ruined the competitive balance in the NBA.
It is more of a compliment as it shows how good he truly is. Only team with a chance is the Spurs, with Kawhi on KD.
I remember when LeBron went to Miami and stayed for a couple years. The NBA was predictable then you already knew the Heat we're winning championships. If people don't like we're the NBA is at right now then don't watch. It's simple.
Stephen A speaks for everyone that isn't a warriors fan
This rivalry and trilogy (maybe more) will go down as one of the most memorable storylines in NBA HISTORY. Lakers vs Celtics, Pistons vs Bulls, Warriors vs Cavs. True fans of the game should be enjoying it knowing they are seeing something rare, like a meteor passing by once every century. Even this overpowered Warriors team should be enjoyed because it's not going to last. Many pieces had to fall into place for it to work, but it will come apart. So I say again, everyone should enjoy these rare moments while they last.
LeBron been to the finals 7 years in row, he ruined the NBA... FAXXXXX 3-5
With that logic Bill Russell ruined the NBA before LeBron was even born. Tell me would you like to see a Boston Celtics team make the finals 10 times in a row. From 1957 - 1966. So no Young Dingo that wasn't "FAXXXXX "
Young Dingo Yes, and Durant made the same weak-ass power move LBJ did, only x10.
Freddy - I mean the celtics did ruin it...
Then how can Lebron ruin something that was already ruined?
Freddy because LeBron has formed super team after super team it's weak ass fuck when you the best player in world
LMAO I heard nothing from him when LeFlop took his talents to south beach to form a super team.
Only thing the warriors and kd ruined is bronsexuals claim that lebron has a chance to be the goat😂😂😂
ProfessorFinesser ....aaaaaand you know, the slight bit of competition in the nba. last year OKC, spurs, warriors and Cavs were contenders now only warriors are winning
Dan The man but LeBron is supposed to be so great right! If he's as good as his dick riders pretend he is then why is he struggling so hard against the Warriors? If you have to make excuses for his loses to the Warriors then he really isn't that great. Definitely not the goat.
Richie Porter Big W
ChicoisBeany That's the point I'm trying to make fam. I have nothing against LeBron I think the man is a beast but his fans need a reality check and they're getting it now in these finals. At first people were saying KD on the Warriors doesn't matter The Cavs will still win and now it's nothing but excuses for LeBron. He has the worst fans.
Spotted the Gay State band wagoner
I agree with Stephen A. This season was boring. This finals is boring. Next season, I don't want to see Cleveland and the Warriors play AGAIN! 🤷🏾♀️
why so much hate on kd lol he can do whatever he wants 😂 who says you cant join a team because their good lol
Everyone seems to be missing the point here. It's about competitiveness. The Warriors did NOT need KD to get over the hump. They won 73 games last year, they were up 3-1 in the Finals. KD was up 3-1 against them. They were on their way to the Finals, and even if they didn't win that year, they were probably just a piece away to be able to do it. And people are acting like Lebron's road to 7 straight Finals was easy. It's been so for the past couple of years, but don't forget that he went to two game 7s in the East in back-to-back years. It's about competitiveness.
The NBA installed a cap so that teams would be competitive and on a level playing field. So 4 or 5 of the best players in the league couldn't sign with one team. They assumed the cap would work because many of these players want money. The more the better. Instead of complaining about the Warriors building a team the right way, why not complain about just how bad the rest of the league is? They had the opportunity to sign KD, which not many playoff teams would would have been able to do in the first place. The Cavs just lost in the Finals, but they can't go out and add a big time free agent which is exactly what the Warriors did by signing KD. The Rockets and Blazers both lost in the playoffs, but they can't add a big time free agent. The ironic part is that the Warriors wanted to sign KD because they've just lost to the Cavaliers. And the most incredible part is, and people don't seem to understand how impossible this would have been, but if the Warriors did win the Championship last year, they still could have signed KD. Most Championship teams are well over the cap and into the luxury tax. So think about just how great of a job the Warriors' organization did.
who wants to watch equal games in play offs if finals are boring, finals are and should be the best teams so this is good.
Warrior fans just seems to block out everything. Look... LeBron with the Heat, Jordan with the Bulls, Kobe and Shaq with the Lakers all won multiple titles yes... But they ALL HAD COMPETITION. Why can't y'all accept the fact that your team ruined the Western Conference by picking up KD...
Nigga if you don't enjoy it then don't fucking watch it. Simple as that
Ryan1EZ you bitch
TrashNiggaARs Watching NBA games is his job and has been for decades. He cannot stop watching games like the regular population. His entire life revolves around basketball
TrashNiggaARs they cheated the NBA im not taking it back imma stand by it
nidiotskap alright if he does that then don't complain about it
curtismyname Heard how did the cheat the nba ?
Cleveland is the basketball equivalency of No Man Sky!
sorry but max makes great points. Steven a is just loud
Robin Hurst Especially bringing up the Sixers. They lost a series they felt they could've won against the Lakers and responded by signing the League's MVP. Teams will learn to adjust in the future
