Piru P says KD joining Golden State is like a kid becoming friends with bullies to not get Beat Up

[SchoolboyC]

they started a corpse at PG, and a 12th man at center. It wasn't until riley put more pieces around them they won a title.

mike bibby was the worse starting PG in basketball and joel anthony was the worse starting center.

And despite having bums at PG & C they were still the favorites to win the title. So what does that tell you?

 

[Houston911]

he teamed up with wade and bosh we all know that. He took less money as did bosh and wade to make it happen

My point is miami wasn't this dominant team 2 years removed from a chip and 1 year removed from 73 wins.

That team was 3 allstars and 9 scrubs in miami, while golden state was already a top 2 nba team before durant.

I don't care about all that other sh*t

Lebron, wade and bosh all took less than max salaries so they could have a squad that would win not 4, not 5, not 6, n



Lebron took less than the max and had the media pressuring Carmelo to do the same. as if superstar players who generate hundreds of million in profits shouldn't take every dollar possible

Don't get mad when Durant puts himself in a position to win not 4, not 5, not 6, not 7

Shyt, at least Durant took a max contract

the thing everyone is missing is durant had another top 5 player on his team and should've been in the finals. Did lebron play with even a top 20 player during his first run in cleveland?

 

[R.E.N. Spells Ren]

Justify how you want, but are nikkas really acting like Pierce is wrong about this?

 

[jwinfield]

we're comparing the situation each player went to. Miami was a middling eastern conference team, while the warriors were a nba powerhouse. I don't see how people don't know the difference.
.

The Miami team Bron signed to wasn't the same team that finished the previous season.

Bron signed to a team with Wade and Bosh.

Reminds me of Bill Burr's take on the situation months ago at around 4:30

at the end about splicing his own bit into a Louis CK/Dave Chapelle special

what is the point of this? Lebron joined a team with a top 5 player in Wade and a top 15 player in Bosh.


This is why I keep telling people that this in the moment stuff don't matter. Lebron got criticized by people like @Jplaya2023 in 2010 when he joined the Heat.

7 years later, and the same people are justifying it because Lebron won rings. If Durant gets multiple rings in Golden State, people gonna pretend that these talks never happened and Durant is a champion and All Time Great.

He's a hypocrite, that's all.

 

[R.E.N. Spells Ren]

He's a hypocrite, that's all.

How so?

If lebron joined the celtics in 09 then these 2 situations would be comparable hence the same level of bytchassness by both players.

Breh this sounds dumb as hell

"Miami was a middling team"

Who gives a fukk what they WERE?

They had two top 5 players and another top 15 player

The previous season is irrelevant

If kawhi Leonard, anthony Davis, and russel Westbrook all took paycuts and joined the Sacramento kings, I doubt y'all would be in here talking about "this is no big deal. The kings sucked before"

What does this have to do with lebron taking less than a max contract?

Him and wade could have both taken the max and played together without bosh

They didn't want that though...they wanted 3 stars cuz they wanted the most stacked team in the league

Now you're mad cuz Durant is following the win at any cost blueprint

bosh was top 15

 

[prophecypro]

Ironic since he recruited KG, an actual bully

 

[dh86]

How so?

Attracting KG & Ray to Boston was "needing help" too. Just because Pierce didn't go to Minnesota is immaterial.

 

[mastermind]

bosh was top 15

You need to stop trolling.
