Dude is a Thunder lifer.

 

[buc em]

Kobe has not been able to stay healthy since he started drinking body armour

That is kinda true. Have you tried Body Armour though? I like a couple of the flavors a lot...and you can tell the difference in how hydrated it gets you compared to just a normal Gatorade or Powerade.

 

[tommyicerocking]

Marv Albert needs to call all of Kobe games, this man voice is amazing 

 

[a-friend]

"dass Russ team doe, he got Mamba blood, KD beta"

That move at the 2minute mark though Lebron wasn't stopping that if Bruce Bowen was out there trapping with him.

 

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

A lot of that Russ is alpha/KD is beta is mostly Brooks' fault for not installing and enforcing any kind of system

You had Russ taking terrible shots and KD getting froze out... in the playoffs...

 

[pastor glo]

if kd was alpha he would hold russ accountable but he wont

 

[a-friend]

Good thing he's passing on interviews and planning on sitting 15-16' out to do Television and family or, he'd be watching some team run amuck from his Coaching seat on the bench

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

When you're as great a player as Russell Westbrook, it isn't KD's job to "put him in his place" aka "hold him accountable". That's the coach's job. If we're talking Steven Adams or Dion Waiters, sure, it is both KD and Russ' job to regulate. KD and Russ are both leaders, both at the top of the food chain

It's the coaches job to reach the leader(s) on a different level and make him (them) understand the big picture

KD and Russ set the table, everyone else just falls in line

 

[pastor glo]

we seen it with kobe and pau, and they won 2 titles together and kobe says that was his favorite teammate

kd and russ are "brothers" right? sometimes you gotta keep it real with your bro

 

[pjdabullsfan]

Chief rode a coat tail in Chicago for a title (I think)

Yep 

 

[pjdabullsfan]

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Why in the world are you comparing Pau Gasol to Russell Westbrook. Terrible comparison 

1. Age

2. Personalities

3. Skill

4. Big man to a guard

5. Kobe's won before Pau arrived

 

[pastor glo]

doesnt matter kd is a great player, but hes a player that leads by example

thats what separates him from a bron,kobe and mj

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

When did this discussion involve LeBron, Kobe or MJ? They are three of the best basketball players to ever live

Yeah, there's a separation between them and 90% of human history

 

[jpzx]

Who will be the worst team in each conference next year?

 

[pastor glo]

kd is on there level just without the accolades

him and russ have enough experience and should be close enough to keep it real with each other

just like wade and bron did after they lost to dallas, simple as that

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

What you're referring to then has nothing to do with "being alpha". That's just being a good teammate

You made it out to seem like KD had to assert his dominance over Russ, i.e. being an alpha dog

If implementing a system isn't the job for a coach, then what is his role on a team? It's pretty simple

 

[Quincy McCall]

Who will be the worst team in each conference next year?

6er's, Nuggets
