KD had beef with Warriors reporters + their obsession with Steph Curry / Klay according to new book

[ISO]

Losing to the Mavs got most of it out of the way

Nobody says Heats 2012 and 2013 titles didn't count or dismiss them.

Sure but he was still hated and most rooted for OKC in the 2012 Finals.

Also his rings count because he put up historic performances and faced adversity and his guys were dealing with some injuries Wade’s knee drainage and Bosh’s high ankle sprain and abdominal strain. Also, Bron’s haters dismiss his 2013 ring because of Ray Allen’s shot all the time lol.

Look up the terms "geek", "lame", or "nerd" in the dictionary, and that face is what you will see next to it.

He can ball though

He definitely thought it would play out like that but Wade was far removed from his 06 Wade days. While Steph was fresh off a championship and a 73 win season the following year. He miscalculated

Difference is Bron and wade are real life best friends. So wade had a vested interest in making sure Bron blended in out there. The fans knew Wade and Bron were boys so they rode for Bron out of loyalty to Wade. KD and Steph didn’t have that dynamic and KD miscalculated that part.

It was never going to work for what Kevin overall wanted..TheColi laughed because he "one up Lebron" in stacking the deck but KD shyt was much deeper....as Shay Sharpe said " how you go help someone beat someone else up, who beat you up"


..

Ohh and if KD would've signed a long term deal here initially we would've loved him even more. Those 1+1 deals kept us wondering if he was gon stay down. Like he kept one foot out the door.

following behind Bron, he saw Bron do that in Miami

I have no interest or cares in reading a book about this..

I would say Steph still let KD shine, its just that Warriors fans were never gonna show him love like they did Steph. Steph was coming off 73-9, one of the best seasons ever..you just cant top that. Even in Miami, that is Wades city at the end of the day. Difference is Miami reporters didn't try to create a rift between two like they did with KD and Steph every day.

We all know KD is insecure and I think he was always going to be here short term because of all the backlash he got from joining this team. He should have stayed in OKC if he wanted that genuine love. He doesn't have one city that loves him like that, even Westbrook has that with OKC.

Yeah they won 3.You gotta win Four to begin calling yourself a dynasty.5 really leaves no doubt,honestly.

Who made that rule ?

IM unclear on what constitutes a dynasty,i used to think in the NBA it was a 3 peat or 3 over 4 years...Yet there are many teams who never did that that i do consider dynasties....Heatles only had a single b2b so theyre not a dynasty ? 1980s Celtics didnt win 3 in 4 years didnt even go b2b once and they are recognized as a dynasty ?

 

[Surreal]

How many times does it need to be said??

KD love was anti-thesis to Bron hate or so he thought
He was passive aggressive with the Warriors. He had no problem with them or Curry love. That was just an excuse. He hates Bron. That's all that matters to him. He found out, no matter what, people still love Bron for the most part except maybe Kyrie..hmmmm. His move was to completely shut down Bron chances of winning even more titles and thought he found the guy(Dray Day) who hates Bron as much as he did. Only for Dray Day to sign to Klutch Sports

There was definitely a racist element to the way media covered Steph at his peak. The way he was pitted against KD, Harden and other NBA players. They were nearly always dark skinned dudes.

Rob Parker taking KD's side....Color me surprised

It was his wholesome image.

 

[mindgawn]

Man the boy Steph was Great period! Bust all ya favorite players asses! He was the only one doing it spectacularly, and happened to be the only non dark skinned kid at the top. AD got a lot of credit as well. Stepped back for KD, my hope is that he can get back to his dribble game!

Yes lightskin vs Darkskin

A smiling lightskin man with his whole smiling lightskin family who they would put on TV till this day even with a beard they call him babyface vs a darkskin tall black man who doesn’t want to smile for the whites and who keeps his personal life private when he does talk (reason why he didn’t like the slim reaper name) his words get twisted

KD should counter with his own book

 

[Loose]

just hard to believe the writer would not be biased
