      Yeah he might be offended but the team is important. Chuck and Shaq think only the main players impact the game --they have extreme points. it's not that simple. The point Kenny is making is the type of team you have will determine your chances. Individual talent can only get you so far if you face a team that can match you with the talent and a better system. Boston is playing historically great defense that's why Kd and Kyrie have been stymied. They have better coaching and a better team culture. That's the point Kenny is making. KD is struggling not because he's not really a great player, it's because he's facing a great team that probably will go on to the finals and win. But yeah, rising above this defense would enhance KD's legacy or playing well against it.

      They're half right. But Kenny is also right, it's been over the top. KD and the nets are facing a historically great defensive team. They are finding out that it takes a team to win not just a bunch of superstars. You have to have the right system and team culture. But having said that KD needs to play better and overcome the challenge which is what separates the great ones. But maybe that's for next year but he'll be 34-35 -- that's the problem.

Nets definitely need a lot of changes. Nash will be gone, maybe even Kyrie. They need a defense bc they were swiss cheese. People are just lapping up schadenfreude right now bc the Nets were arrogant and now they look ridiculous. But I don't see this as a referendum on KD's legacy.

    This is probably one of Inside’s best segments. To give emphasis that superstars carry burdens and huge responsibilities when their teams experience fallouts is often overlooked, and these guys pointed that out really well. It ain’t always easy being a superstar or the franchise player of the team as the blame will always go to them when they go downhill. As Shaq and Chuck pointed out, role players never got the blame most of the time and they both endured it during their playing careers. This episode alone deserves an Emmy.
