You must compartmentalize to stay sane

Trash talkers literally enjoy talking shit, we think they are getting really angry but on some level they are actually enjoying themselves.

You should look up soccer games where Diego Costa played against Ramos and Pepe. They don’t stop talking shit, elbow each other, slap each other, hard tackles, stomps, even spit (including Costa spitting on his hand and throwing it to Ramos several times)… then the final whistle blows and every time they’re all hugs and smiles leaving the pitch together. Psycho behavior.

Sports taught me how to compartmentalize my minor trauma.

People are amazed at work where I can have a pretty brutal meeting (eng consulting), then ask everyone if they want to go to dinner after.

I don’t hate you as a person because you mismanaged millions of dollars and fucked your company. We can still be cool, plus I am hungry.

Somehow Schroeder didn’t get the memo

When you have a good group of confident friends, you get it.

Yeah that’s how competition is supposed to be. Leave it all out in the court and after all is said and done you show a little respect. Unfortunately people like Draymond have conditioned us to nut shots and eye poking instead lol

Yeah from all accounts KD loved it

I thought calling someone a “bitch” was always crossing a line with these guys, but I guess it depends.

Bro that’s actually a good point.

I’d love to see the forensics:

“This camera shows Durant pick up his phone in the locker room at 7:04 pm. At 7:06 pm user ‘TheFinalFinalsMVP’ posted the comment “You box like a bitch” along with this video of Tyler Herro’s incredibly slow hand-speed.”

I agree, it’s entertaining and at the end of the day it’s just shit talking

I mean, lets be honest none of us are any better bitching on reddit 😂.

Yep it’s fair game. KD wants to have a burner to talk shit then Herro has full right to talk shit back

The fact that he not only had a burner but named it “getoffmydickerson” should show that too

The main is for business and the burners are for shit posting.

The best part about KD is that at his core he just loves ball. Dude’s going to be pulling up to random pickup games for like 2 decades after retiring talking shit to retirees in a 55+ league. We can clown on him for a lot of shit, but nobody can question his love for the game.

KD has always seemed very cool and self aware about the burner thing.

No particular shame in his game over it - he has to use burners to troll on the internet or else everything he says would make the news. Don’t think he’d be afraid to speak his mind under his own account if that wasn’t the case - I’m sure once he retires he’ll be loud and proud with his social media nonsense.

Book is definitely who he tries to model his game after, yes.

Yall should do Red Son night (Superman: Red Son) at some point with the theming and aesthetic alongside Booker, Nash and Chuck. Would be fun but the NBA would probably put a pin on it.

I’m not tired of him. Herro is great.

Fuck off, KD.
