What financial opportunity opened for Durant after he won a ring ?

More commercials, more endorsements, the like. The ring is still fresh so it isn't immediately benefitting him in that department yet but it will soon. You've seen this story before.

Lebron had it all available to him before he won, but after he won is when shyt started to go next level. He got a lifetime nike contract, was able to get his nikkas involved to start up Klutch Sports, and is putting TV shows on networks. You can argue he'd do all these things if he never won a championship, but I'd beg to differ. The attention of winning a championship, especially multiple, is a money magnet, even for role players

I understand your argument but it really doesn't apply to KDs situation. He already had the huge Nike deal. He had a movie. Gatorade and all of that.

It can go both ways.

For superstars it doesn't change much because they are already easily marketable.

Now for a player like Curry it took his fame and endorsements to another level.

Nobody in real life talks about it like you coli nikkas though. I've talked to plenty of people and can't recall the (fake title/no respect) talk. I heard a lot of people saying kd busted bron ass though. This website/internet dudes aren't real life. I see that. Keep talkin yo shyt though :yeshrug:
You don't talk to people who actually watch/care about the NBA then.

Nobody respects that nikka KD after going there. And the people I've talked to in real life who even kinda do seem almost afraid to chime in and give that opinion cause then know they gettin shytted on.

So much two-faced hypocrisy in here.

Same dudes caping for KD saying "its ok he did the same thing as Bron" are the same dudes who were KILLING Bron for leaving Cleveland the 1st time.

"Its about money, not loyalty, let KD cook"
:gucci: KD just purchased a championship ring for 11 million dollars. Like... how many times can yall contradict yourselves tryna cape for this dude?

There is some loyalty in sports, some dudes play their whole career for one team and then work in the front office until they die

A guy like Ozzie Newsome has been in the same organization for 40 years

Most Coli brehs were saying the same thing before : "Do you", "Do what's best for you and your fam", etc etc etc. Praising Bron for doing what he wants for HIS career. "He's a FA, he can do what he wants"

But brehs mad at KD for doing what he wanted:yeshrug:

You can be mad from a competition standpoint (I am) but not at him exercising his right to go where he pleases. :yeshrug:

But indeed, there's no loyalty in the NBA.

yall be actin like one dude's friends IRL negates every opinion. In the same manner, everybody I talk to in real life mentions how flawed that ring is. Its far easier to find people who believe in that narrative lol

Celtics had their best season in years, and traded their number one option. Played in the playoffs when his fukking sister died. NOW there are reports that IT rubbed his teammates the wrong way.
Bullshyt
The celtics did IT dirty af. Hope he eliminates those cacs in the playoffs
