In 2010...LeBron was the 2X reigning MVP....and went to team up with the 3rd best player in the league at the time.

But "that's different" huh.

Naw I know where I'm at, I'm in the land where people said curry was better than Lebron until they humbled themselves, I mean lebron humbled them. I'm in the land where people act like they don't see a difference between joining the 73 win team that beat you in the western conference finals, after you were up 3-1 vs going to a team that didn't even win 50 games. Most pretend not to see the difference out of spite for lebron but hey


Hey if you can't beat them join them...

i remember july 4th 2016, greatest event to ever happen on july 4th. KD knew where he could get the best burritos and weather.

thing is, bay area housing market is so tight that even on an NBA salary he probably had to apply for section 8 housing

Y'all remember how trash Bron was for his first 2 finals and how he turned the switch after that?

Burry's first two finals performance >>>>>> lebron's

This year, burry in the finals is gonna be legendary.

I don't have a problem with dudes leaving teams to better their careers, especially after giving so much of themselves in a business that can discard you like trash, but you real goofy if after all this time you still can't differentiate between Lebron leaving and KD leaving. Not sure why it has to be spelled out so much.

I'm always seeing articles of people making 500k and still struggling in that area. Ive always wondered if they're exaggerating for shock value or if it's really that bad.
 
Anyone making 500K and struggling is not trying to live within their substantial means

those people are absolutely trippin and living far beyond their means. i know that $500k figure is hyperbole but it doesn't take away from the absurdity of these 6-figure tech nerds in SF complaining about not being able to afford rent. unless youre trynna live in the penthouse of some dubai skyscraper, there is absolutely no reason why $125k for a single person won't allow you to live comfortably in any part of the globe, including the most expensive parts of the bay area.

but then again, there are antoine walkers in every sector.

Why?  I honestly don't see the difference in the way you're implying.
 
Sam Presti did a great job loading that team with talent. KD didn't need to leave OKC to win as the 3-1 series lead shows evidence of that. LeBron on the other hand, year after year, carried that team on his back and every year another team would up end him. Mike Brown couldn't (and still can't) coach and Danny Ferry did not do a good job at bringing in another legitimate all-star to compliment LeBron whether that was via draft, free agency, or trade. Very different departing circumstances. KD had everything he needed, LeBron didn't.
 
cuz you are a sucka if you dip to the squad that you lost to.

you are overlooking the fact that bron and KD's moves had the same impact: creating another "super team" (whatever the **** that means). who they lost to in the year prior to leaving bears little weight in trying to find the difference in who left with more or less dignity. both those dudes wanted to win so they linked up with all stars. **** is as simple as elementary school pick up basketball, get with the best players on the playground and win.
 
Sam Presti choked too we ain't letting him off the hook
In regards to acquiring talent or keeping KD?

Idk man, my elementary school was year round so we had "tracks." Blue, yellow, green, and red. No student from any track turned heel to join the other class's squad. My track is better than your track bragging rights stuff. **** was heated everyday :lol:
