Whatever show that is with Pierce and them, it was good discussion :ehh:

First time listening to them

I agree with them too. I don't really have a problem with "ring culture" per se bc 1) the point is to win and 2) so boohoo you don't get to be #1 in barbershop talk but you're still worshiped by millions while making 100s of millions of dollars; there's worse things in life. If Giannis don't win another ring... he'll be alight lol.

More-so, obviously it's kinda funny when James or KD ("i just want to hoop") speak on it when we know how shameless they were in their pursuit to stack rings, and how much they loved the attention when it worked out for them. And i got no problem with the shamelessness (the point is to win) or the stat padding, as long as you own up to being a major contributor to and beneficiary of it. It's fine.

Real niggs on here been saying Bron a hoe and knew this would be the angle he takes as his career dwindles.

The NBA is gonna lose itself I’m glad the media is pushing back. Because if the regular doesn’t mean anything anymore, if the playoffs are too long, and now suddenly rings don’t matter then why the fukk are we watching?

I think bron post career is going to be a sight to be hold. Too much talking while playing, too much controlling the narrative out and the open.. this is the same nikka that had a TV show telling us he is taking his talents to south beach to guess what……. Win a ring…. Now it’s the ring culture is toxic because he failed to mirror the goat. Sad that yall crash out for this nikkas. Bron great dad sure but being this insecure will take a hit to his legacy and rightfully so!!!!

SAS just said Giannis is an underachiever for only having one ring.

The ring conversation has jumped the shark

Shaq "didn't do enough," with this resume;

NBA Finals MVP (20002002)
NBA Most Valuable Player (2000) (He should have two)
15× NBA All-Star (19931998, 20002007, 2009)
NBA All-Star Game MVP (2000, 2004, 2009)
All-NBA First Team (1998, 20002006)
2 All-NBA Second Team (1995, 1999)
All-NBA Third Team (1994, 1996, 1997, 2009)
NBA All-Defensive Second Team (2000, 2001, 2003)
NBA Rookie of the Year (1993)
NBA All-Rookie First Team (1993)
NBA scoring champion (1995, 2000)

I was one of them. I been saying for years that Bron's resume is not gonna hold up as time passes by.

The way these kids try to attack Kobe now? Wait until a new star comes in the league that's a bonafide new version of Jordan or Steph and that new star gets 3 or 4 rings. They are going to pick LeBron apart to push that new nikka.

Pierce is always spittin one of the best on TV. ESPN are fakkits for cutting him over some hoes. But anyway, Truth was shyt on by the media for not winning even though the team around him was complete ass so he knows what it's like. He stayed in Boston, they finally built a good team there and Truth went out and won the Finals MVP. Would have won more if KG's knees didn't explode. He knows what he's talkin about

Did they even listen to what he said.

Just cause you want rings doesn’t mean that if you fail to get them you’re trash.

What if Shaq didn’t join Kobe and Dwade and stayed in Orlando, possibly leading them to one championship. Would still not be up there? Is what he’s saying.

And also that rings should not be the only comparison parameter. Cause at the end of the day it’s a team sport. And we are humans with intelligent minds, capable of judging a set of players on mad parameters.
