Ahh so you agree that Lebron is more popular than David Beckham? Joining my ignore list for blatant trolling.

Where are nikkas getting this "take it easy"/"can't go hard" on someone close to you shyt from. Me and my brothers should have permanent injuries from some of the shyt we did to each other as kids on the court.

I don't see how anyone could have seen last years Finals and question how hard Durant goes at Bron. Durant went plenty hard at Lebron, he just wasn't good enough. Same with Barkley back in 93. He played his ass off he just wasn't as good as Mike.

at Bron being cold and calculated. Just a year ago he was soft and didn't have what it took to get it done in the clutch and get a team over the hump and KD was the cold-blooded killer. Seriously this was the narrative entering the Finals and now it's completely flipped.

you know how it is in here, man. If you don't win a ring, you suck.

word durant is not the reason they lost to miami.

harden(6th man of the year) didn't show up.

Harden not showing up isn't even the reason they lost to the Heat either, even though it probably would have gotten them another win.

The Heat were just better and more talented, probably hungrier too.

Nah...both teams where just as hungry...but be honest...did you really think that Shane "fukkin" Battier would heat up the way he did for that series. There's no game plan drawn up that says "shut down Shane" as the key to victory...esp when you had LeBron, Wade and Bosh to worry about prior to that...and even Miller was more of a concern.

If Harden wasn't blowing lay ups and missing gimme shots...then it would have been a different outcome potentially b/c he was getting looks and drives...he just choked

No, but he was shooting wide open shots, so that's just what you give up when you double guys or help on penetration. I'm sure that part of it was in the game plan.

Harden playing his best probably gets them one more game, but really you could tell from the start of the series that the Heat were the better team. The Thunder really were lucky (well, not lucky, they earned it and made a comeback) to get the first game.

I can kinda see how Bron got brought up in the thread, cause thats who KD is comparing himself too in the article.

But how the FUKK did this thread become about Kobe

Is this your first time on the-coli, friend?

Kevin Durant sat in a leather terminal chair next to a practice court and pointed toward the 90-degree- angle at the upper-right corner of the key that represents the elbow. “See that spot,” Durant said. “I used to shoot 38, 39 percent from there off the catch coming around pin-down screens.” He paused for emphasis. “I’m up to 45, 46 percent now.”
…
Durant has hired his own analytics expert. He tailors workouts to remedy numerical imbalances. He harps on efficiency more than a Prius dealer. To Durant, basketball is an orchard, and every shot an apple. “Let’s say you’ve got 40 apples on your tree,” Durant explains. “I could eat about 30 of them, but I’ve begun limiting myself to 15 or 16. Let’s take the wide-open three and the post-up at the nail. Those are good apples. Let’s throw out the pull-up three in transition and the step-back fadeaway. Those are rotten apples. The three at the top of the circle — that’s an in-between apple. We only want the very best on the tree.”

This article and quote gonna make me buy this issue, put it in one of them mylar sleeves and crack it open for my kids from time to time to remind them wha it takes to get to greatness.

Its about honing your skillz, not setteling for being nice but tryin to get better and better. Yeah you nice but you can always improve ... always

Nah but damn Bean ain't even playin right now.....

i'm starting to think it's gonna be derailed threads about Kobe 3 years after he retires...

Bulls fans at least fell back a little bit on spamming every thread with propaganda since he's been hurt.

Kobe stans is mad corny.

 

[Da_Eggman]

least he doesn't have to worry about coming in 2nd this time

 

[FreddyCalhoun]

Begs a good question

I'm sure the hate fueled Lebron to get that ring...

Would you prefer Shade and Hatred or Compassion and Understanding from NBA Fans...

Because these passes that KD been receiving aren't helping him.
