Do you think Jimmy is a better basketball player than KD? If yes then why are you so shock by KD losing, y’all just argue just to argue
There’s ppl on this board still adamant that Butler is a Number 2, posing as a number 1. And they’re adamant that every deep run he’s had in Miami thus far is just by sheer luck and fortune. Reputation supersedes reality. Jimmy on those Warriors has two rings too, just like KD. Hell, healthy Jimmy with a healthy Heat roster isn’t facing NY in game 6 tonight. They probably sweep NY and possibly beat Boston last year. He may have 2 finals appearances and title to his name if Miami didn’t constantly have key players injured including Jimmy himself. KD has gotten the same injury breaks in his post season runs. Kawhi in 2017.

What’s the asterisk for on KD’s 2?
‘ when it was announced. He started crying lol That move really just ruined shyt. Everyone has just a natural sports DNA, sports ethics. Even as kids picking teams you just naturally balance teams out. ‘You go here, you go here’. You don’t even need to be told or see it on tv it’s instinctual. And he violated that
‘KD is ___ to nba fans’
I don’t ike using that kind of wording man….but metaphorically its true
I live in the same county KD is from, I’m like 5 min from his childhood house. I never even think about it. PG county is known as land of the hoopers but not ‘KD’s hometown’. Nobody brings him up as a source of pride
My nephew who DID kinda look up to KD, he was like 13 when KD went to GS. He was like ‘nooooo
how was the climate there before he went to GS?‘KD is ___ to nba fans’

Ok cool. Hence he’s looked at as a business man. No emotional attachment from him, no emotional attachment from fans
So nothing is lost right? Bc athletes would never care about the love and emotion they get for perfecting their craft right?
