It's truly fascinating how even in an NBA Finals series with the Indiana Pacers vs the Oklahoma City Thunder, SAS was able to create a toxic ass narrative around it.

There's no off the court drama or underlying storyline between these teams but this man really keeping the puters putin' with the "Superstar" debate around Haliburton

I didn't pick Indy to win this series, but damn, the amount of crow SAS will have to gag on will be unbelievable if the Pacers pull this off

On KRS One's nose, eating sunflower seeds.
It's flat out embarrassing that a former player would put forth such a surface level critique than get schooled with details.
Too many retired players become dumb and blind to the game. We do have to remember that all retired players weren’t knowledgeable players either, some were just were good at what they did, and not good at Xs and Os, or the feel of the game. I’ve learned to listen to certain players and Charles isn’t one of them. Great talent, poor basketball mind analytically.

A lot of people treat basketball like music...its all about the vibes and how they feel. Thats what current basketball discourse is based around...how people feel.

Then there is this. Just because you can do something at a high level doesnt mean you can analyze or explain it at a high level.

Then there is the issue of people that played 30/40 years ago applying their experience and sensibilites to the current game with 0 regard for or understanding of how things have changed. Its the equivalent of people that were able to live comfortably 30/40 years ago shytting on the work ethic and maturity of folks that cant afford the same shyt today.
