ty wasnt in on that play
 
It's always funny to watch dudes who can't handle criticism on their favorite player call a man, who's attacked by millions daily, insecure/have all the answers for what he should be doing. I don't think y'all have any idea of the type of pressure that is for any of these dudes. Yeah, KD is a bit insecure but so are basically all the other players in the league. And so would you if you had to switch positions. It's a natural human response. Y'all tend to forget these dudes are humans, they just happen to be physical mutants
I don’t think you’re wrong at all. I’d be bat**** crazy if I was that famous. But I honestly don’t think I’d ever make a burner account and respond to people through it.
 
Where did this notion that athletes can't be insecure like the rest of us come from
 
There's a difference between ego and insecurity.
Shaq exemplifies someone with a massive ego and can't stand anyone poking fun at him or putting another legend above him. He genuinely thinks he's above criticism and doesn't have a self-deprecating bone in his body.

KD exemplifies insecurity. From the whole "**** you blog boys" talk to having a fake Twitter account, you can tell he wants to be liked but wants to act like he doesn't care.

I'll slander LeBum at every chance I get, but hey, when you're on the cover of Sports Illustrated at age 16 I'll give him a pass.
LeBron and KD actually both lashed out in the same way when they found out the hometown fans saw them as players and not people. LeBron grew out of it and KD probably will too.

OKC protected the **** out of KD and Russ which is why they are both such ****es. Same as LeBron before Miami when all he knew was media and people fawning over him.
 
So far Ariza is the only one who's bringing it. If Minnesota's bench can produce something, they should keep this close.
 
That's the thing about being predictable and boring on offense. Easy af to gameplan against you. All that switching is wearing harden out. Force him right, collapse the lanes and encourage him to jack 3s on tired legs. Same **** San Antonio did last year
