Is Shannon Sharpe right about Kevin Durant

[god shamgod]

Kd should go to the lakers with lebron imo. The warriors were more fun to watch and more dominant without kd

Lakers got the youngins progressing, add 2 vets to that core

 

[Shadow King]

Yes he's right I don't see how he isn't.

 

[Mr_X]

Listen to the biggest LeThottie of them all

First off, they're missing four rotation players besides Curry. Second, their overall talent is overrated because of Curry. That team has two superstars and a bunch of (really good) role players. I don't care what the All-Star selections say.

 

[IsThatBrothaMouzone?]

KD is a pragmatist. You need a certain kind of ego to be like Jordan or Kobe.

Durant would rather be apart of something great and win 4 rings, than to be the Man and struggle to win once. He knew they were never getting over the hump and Russ would never defer to him. If I'm worth hundreds of millions, '6'10" with multiple rings and a Hall of Fame jacket....that might be enough. Not everyone wants to be Kobe or MJ.

No because in that stupid ass logic of faulting KD when he was talking to Skip he said "Look, they losing!" as if Lebron and the Cavs havent been getting worked by teams significantly worse than Minnesota that very same night.

Compare a 73-9 team roster, to a bunch young bloods coming from loosing teams brehs

They had one healthy postseason in his last 4 seasons there . Was he supposed to lead one of the worst teams in the league to a title when he was between 19-20 years old ? He was 21 and 22 during the 2010 and 2011 playoffs and nobody on their core team had been to the playoffs at all before 2010, let along done any serious winning at that point. That shyt takes experience. The only year they deserved any real heat for was 2016.

He been a top 5 player since like 2010 along with another top 10 player on his roster and only one finals appearance. Dont give me that age stuff

What team ever won a title where the top 4 players were all 20-22 in their first/second trip to the playoffs?

 

[Hugo Floss]

he is a rich man's Scottie Pippen

I can dig it but Scottie was assigned to the opponents most athletic threat...I'm thinking he is like a cyborg version of George Gervin but I'm and sh#t

None, but what did he accomplish on a team level in his 9 years as the lead man in OKC/Seattle? One finals appearance, that's a damn fact. If he felt as strongly as it as yall seem to be, he would have stayed in OKC. Wasn't like they weren't on the cusp of going back to the finals his last season

What team ever had 3 future MVPs and a DPOY candidate all 20-22 on the team at the same time?

It was a unique situation for sure.

 

[Cladyclad]

U fukking GS fans/stans are fukking spoiled. Y’all lose 2 games in a row the world is falling


While my Pistons can’t go a week without losing 2 games in a row

Pay Kendrick Perkins instead of heliflopter Har_en, and then trade him for Kevin Martin & Jeremy Lamb

 

[Marc Spector]

warriors as a whole are still playing lackadaisical

 

[Edub]

No.....but Durant definitely isn’t a leader and has always liked to defer to another.....like Westbrook and now Curry......




Maybe there is some truth to what Shannon spewing then
