Dirk’s 1 ring>>> KD’s 2 rings...Facts or nah?

[The Amerikkkan Idol]

You seriously don't even know what the call was? Draymond WAS suspended for those shots. All he got called for on the LeBron play was a flagrant 1. The suspension came from the total of the flagrant 1 for throwing Beasley PLUS the flagrant 2 for kicking Adams PLUS the flagrant 1 for hitting LeBron. It was the combination of all three shots that led to the suspension, not just the LeBron shot.




Wait, you just said "even guys like Charles Barkley."




Yet she was the only one you named to prove your claim. Your two expert examples of great principled outrage now are Ayesha Curry and Charles Barkley




Then why did they let the Warriors sweep damn near every series the next year, including the Finals in 5? Why make the terrible call in Game 1 in 2018 when everyone knows the Warriors are going to win and the Cavs need every break they can get?

You can't acknowledge that there are bullshyt calls all the time, and then claim the ones that go against the Warriors are evidence of some great conspiracy. You have to have a body of evidence for such an incredible claim.

Stephen A. Smith talks about how the NBA helped the Cavs the 2016 finals as well (not rigged, but badly officiated), so it's not just Barkley & Steph's wife. Though, I don't see why people would discount Barkley's opinion, as he is a Hall of Famer, even if he acts crazy.

Again dummy, the argument is that the NBA wanted the series to go longer, not that they're anti- Warriors. I fully acknowledge that the Warriors get bullshyt calls all the time. I AM NOT A WARRIORS FAN (at least not anymore).

You can't do that with Durant on Golden State because they're too good now. Back when Cleveland and Golden State were closer in status, you could kind of rig a game here and there and make a series close.

Now, even if the refs did cheat, Golden State would still probably win most games by 20, and it'd be too obvious if all of a sudden, teams were hanging with a team that has 4 all-stars in it's starting line up.

The KD hate gotta stop.. He accepted the best offer and it worked out. This move was for HIM. It's wasted energy hating on the best player in the game. He's gonna win anyways.. Frfr - he could leave for about 4-5 other teams - and they would instantly become the favorites. It's his league

The hate doesn't have to stop. He can have his rings, and we're entitled to think they're cheap. He has his rings. We have our opinion that they're bullshyt.

And I almost missed it that you called him the best player in the game. "Gonna win anyways" when he never won shyt outside of a squad that had a ring without him (and beat him to get it). Yeah, I'm done with this.

So why he ain't do shyt from 2013-2016?

Cause he was trash

All players are garbage until they win a ring

Eh, it's both really. Dirk killed it let's be honest here, he was clutch, hittin some ridiculous shots at key moments. On top of that, Lebron playin like shyt and only scoring 8 points in a Finals game while losing a 2-1 series lead in 6 games on your home floor is equally as impactful.

I agree, but of all Bron's Finals losses, this is the one most will point to him losing vs others just busting his ass.

You actually called up Stephen A. Smith now.

Who's next, Skip Bayless?

And yes, Barkley's opinion is worthless because he just says wrong things all the time.

The refs could have very easily done it in Game 1 of the Finals this year. Or last year Game 3 against Blazers, Game 1 against Spurs, Game 3 against Cavs.

To make a theory, you have to have evidence. All of your evidence is that there was ONE call you disagreed with. All the other evidence is against you.

And I love the "at least not anymore" caveat.

What's funny is Dirk was commonly called a choker before that run lol.

That OKC series was legendary. His efficiency was off the fukking charts in that series & he was unstoppable in clutch time. My nikka Ibaka tried everything he could think of to try & slow him down to no avail.

The sonning of Kobe & the Lakers has become underrated. Those nikkas couldn't miss from 3 at all.

Easy sweep despite going into that series as the underdogs.

Yep, it's a RARE feeling to see your team get dealt wit, and still be like god damn, this fool is on that mission; I support that

It's how I imagined Denver fans felt that night that Russ broke the triple double record in they city, BUT put them out the playoffs in the same night

nikka, you don't need no evidence to have a theory.

There's no evidence that aliens exist, but the theories are still out there.

There's all kinds of theories about who killed Jon Benet or 2pac or Biggie that haven't been proven yet, what the fukk does that mean?

I called it how I, and multiple other people saw it. You don't like it tough. All I said was I wasn't the ONLY person who saw the finals that way.

You don't like Stephen A?

ESPN does and pays him millions and millions of dollars a year and plenty of NBA players, coaches, and GMs confide in him all the time.

You don't like Barkley?

Fine, he's a Hall of Fame basketball player

Your emotional ass still keep coming to it from the perspective that I am a Warriors fan, when I am not.

That's why you brought up all those other series when I was specifically talking about the 2016 Finals.

I believe the NBA wanted the finals THAT YEAR to not be an even worst blow out than they were the year before, which would've hurt viewership.

Now, like I said, once Durant joins the Warriors, that plan doesn't work. Nobody would believe that Cleveland would credibly hang with the Warriors with that roster, so why rig a finals you already know is going to be a blowout series?

And there's no point in even rigging all those other series you were talking about.
