Why do you feel LeBron would have tied Jordan if KD weren't there?
Because those Cavs were clear and above the rest of the league, outside of the Warriors. However, with how quickly things change and players move in the NBA, assuming or predicting ANYONE to win three rings at any point is kinda wild.

He has a point, but it's disingenuous as hell considering that he and others essentially gave KD shyt over the years and helped contribute to him leaving. As I will say once again, people need to pick a KD/GS stance and stick with it. You gave him shyt when he was there and you're still giving him shyt now that he's not.

You either wanted him to stay or you wanted him to go elsewhere. Playing both sides come off as hypocritical.

This

I respected KD for leaving Golden State.

The only issue is that he chose Kyrie specifically. And still got Harden.

But him leaving Golden State was GOOD. For the league, for the fans, for the game. It's stupid to insult him for it.

The fact that people are speaking out of both sides of their mouth on this shows how full of shyt and lame people are. How you gonna bash KD for making a weak move... then bash him for leaving?

Warriors don’t beat Lebrons Cavs without KD. KD prevented Lebron from tying MJ in rings
People were talking like the Clipers were gonna eliminate the warriors that year until KD kicked it into drive. Then they did the same thing against Houston until he did it again. Warriors do NOT win without KD those 3yrs. That’s why they didn’t win against Toronto (plus losing Klay)
:mjlol:

People just like to talk even if it’s dumb as shyt or spot on.

Except we don't. Both are legacy missteps. If you signed up to cheese on a real life 2K team, might as well embrace the villain status and rack them rings up.

Curry don't have 2 of 3 rings without kd it was clear kd was best player on gs and won 2 finals MVP in his 2 healthy years


Also curry Thompson green jumped in a car 4 deep to beg kd to play with them after losing to cle in the finals


Kd never begged to play anywhere and bad luck circumstances has kept him from winning with nets

But curry in no way is better than kd outside of shooting

And he a ceiling raiser

not a floor raiser

Like kd LeBron Kobe are

Meaning curry can't carry a team he proved that last year when warrior team missed the playoffs.

He 6 ft 3 and not a good defender one of the reasons the warriors are below avg if green doesn't play.

A 6 ft 10 great player always better than a 6 ft 3 player


I say all this to say niether Irving or curry can carry a team far because of height so they both need a kd or lebron to win titles

I Kno curry won 1 without kd but that had alot of good luck and curry has the best org and one of the best coaches and a perfect system for him.


Folks just don't like kd why they say this nonsense like Steph better than him.

Kd much better overall player than Steph
So what Curry doing right now in present time ?

True but I was wondering why he thought Bron would have 3 more in particular.
