[ballinsam23]

This is a dynasty in the making. Wont be over until a Warriors 3peat.

 

[SadBoi]

Until they Big Shot Bob ruined it

To this day, I still hate the guy. No doubt in my mind the Suns would have won a chip that year had Amare and Diaw not got suspended.

 #NBAFinals Game 2 draws 12.7 overnight rating, up 7 % from last year. Through 2 games, '17 #NBAFinals up from 2016 (12.6 vs. 12.5).

Like the GSW postgame last night KD/DRAY are on the podium.

Reporter asks Dray how he was able to keep from crossing the line and getting suspended (something like that).....and no sooner than he gets the question out KD gets defensive and butts in like "ah you really want him to cross that line don't you"....

Let Dray answer, which Dray answered well, he doesn't need you speaking for him.

KD would do that in OKC too with Russ, he's like a Drama King creating animosity, he's that guy in the group who is always "stirring up controversy" and making a big deal out of little things just to have some beef cooking.

Reporter should have asked him, um KD how did you feel last year when it was your teammate that Dray kicked, were you that defensive then? Or were you too busy conspiring with Dray to join his team while you tanked the series and blew a 3-1 lead?

Wait but Russ did the exact same thing to Stephen Adams this year...

Still not understanding the KD hate

Lebron paved the way for these type of "Super Teams" by winning 2 rings in Miami.

LeBron continued this trend by adding Kevin Love when he came to Cleveland.

KD followed the blue print and did it wayyyyy better, savage style at that

These elite kids in high school teaming up in AAU, then going to Duke, UK, Kansas, etc. The super team trend will be here for a while bros.

Bruh, first off, Boston in 2007 technically started what is the modern Big 3 "Super Team" the 2003-2004 Lakers tried (and horribly failed) to do it with Malone and GP, who were way past their prime.

KD gets hate because he joined a championship winning team that had 73 wins and made the Finals two years in a row. When Lebron joined Miami in 2010, the Heat were a struggling playoff team.

Lebron joined a team and turned it into a contender (with Bosh), KD joined a team that was already a contender and apparently made them unbeatable-it's as simple as that.

I could've took it back to those Lakers and Celtics teams but those guys were at different points in their careers.

Lebron started the trend of doing this in your prime, with other stars in their prime. KD followed that blue print and took it a whole different level.

we hated on Lebby for it so why wouldn't we hate on KB for it? I plan to hate on the next top player that does it for that matter

I can agree with this, I wonder who's next.

The biggest game of the series is on Wednesday.  Not over.

Statistically speaking, probably Lebron again.

Ok...were you done or were you going to say more?

 

[everysingletime]

LeBron should opt out and join a squad like the Bucks and bring a scorer with him.

Giannis LeBron and a 3rd guy, surrounded by all those defenders

 2017 Finals PER:
1. Durant: 36.1
2. Curry: 29.4
3. LeBron: 27.6
4. Love: 23.9
5. Pachulia: 15.2

You can't compare Lebron to KD in saying that they did the exact same thing because the 2010 Heat were not contenders, the 2016 Dubs were absolutely contenders.

The 2010 Heat were not contenders because Riley constructed the team that way. They gutted the team in order to be able to sign Bron & Bosh.

Wade's knees falling apart is why the Heat didn't become AS big of a monster as Golden State.

Bring Thompson off the Bench. Frees up LeBron to guard Draymond and not run around chasing KD?

 

[bballkid11]

Cavs still win Next 2.
