He also made the Suns trade for Beal 🤣

he’s not the only one tho

So KD is Carmelo with efficiency

That’s crazy when you put it like that

The last time either Kd or Phoenix won a playoff game was May 7, 2023

The last 2 playoff series Kd won:

• 2023 Clippers without Kawhi or PG, relying on post-lakers Westbrook as their first option

• 2021 Celtics without Jaylen Brown and Kemba, giving minutes to Tristan Thompson, Fournier, Romeo Langford, Jabari Parker 🤣🤣

since leaving GSW, Kd has gotten more coaches fired than playoff series wins.

Uhh…Easy KD is a bus rider NOT a driver leader of men

It could have worked. They just had to adjust the rules a bit so that using 3 balls at the same time was allowed.

The funny thing is that AI wasn’t a traditional “bag” guy in the sense of having dozens of counters built in his ball handling style, like Kyrie and PG.

AI’s whole game was built on a lethal first step, his signature crossover, soft touch, and his legendary grit.

I noticed the more all around players like Steve Nash, Magic, Bird value guys like LeBron more so as well

Kobe doesnt deserve that label. Kobe showed effectiveness in scoring, distribution, defense, he could create space for teammates.

Kobe was a polished fundamentally sound player who was a scorer. Most scorers cant do anything unless they are scoring. Hence why guys like Kobe, MJ, Wade, Clyde etc stand above the rest because of their abilities to impact winning outside of scoring

Iguodala said kyrie was top 5 all time players hold him in a regard basically just as good as steph

kobe is also way more than just a bucket getter

Mentioning Kobe in that group just shows you don’t know much about basketball

Crazy to put Kobe on there

It’s also why a lot of those guys tend to get overrated to varying degrees. Too many players and fans place too much value in that. Not to say it ain’t a good skill to have, and you can absolutely have success playing that way as we’ve seen.

But if you don’t win you are Melo. So KD is very sensitive and didnt want that narrative

Bruh putting Kobe’s name next to those guys…

Which is not how chemistry or team ball works so its a weird way to view a team as a whole

KD loves the game as a street Hooper. Guy wants to be a pure scorer anywhere. All his decisions after GS point to teaming up with high volume scorers which will not won you a chip unless you have team defense. Well now he has the reverse problem with the rockets where theres nobody who can shoot except him

They were all guys who had averaged 25+ppg before too

and before that it was the nets

If Draymond only talks about ideal basketball and truly playing it at the highest level he’s a genius. Anything else just No.

Draymond is to basketball takes what Eddie Hearn is to boxing. If the level headed and logical perspective is beneficial to him, he’ll express it beautifully. If it isn’t, then get ready for some bullshit.

I was thinking the same thing. I was expecting scorched earth.

Draymond seems like a smart dude from time to time lmao

Draymond is a basketball genius, but he’s also an asshole and dumbass otherwise. 

Clock is right and all that. Bound to do a reasonable take after so many bad ones.

Draymond gets shitty when he’s attacking guys that make him feel insecure like other big men, but he’s got all the ammo in the world to take the high road over KD. 

When KD is making himself look like an immature middle schooler, there really isn’t anything that needs to be said. KD is doing all the work. Draymond just has to act disappointed and he wins.

And Would you look at that? It doesn’t translate to winning.

Yeah he didn’t like the warriors system and you saw him reject it as the years went. It’s part of the reason he didn’t want to come back, he wants to be given the ball and go get a bucket. He hated setting screens lol

KD isn’t making good points, he’s expressing his victim complex. He’s just salty that LeBron ain’t catching as much shit for going to Philly as he did when he signed with GSW.

Shows that KD completely ignores, or just undervalues, the concept of team/roles. At their core teams who win typically have guys sacrificing something for the sake of the team.

Directly off that team, Iggy was never a great scorer but showed he could be an 19/5/5 a night guy on a meh team. It’s really not hard to imagine Dray/Klay putting up higher box score numbers in that same way had they played elsewhere.

Draymond at his peak was more conducive to post season success than even Embiid. Iron man, never took a play off on defense, rarely missed exploiting a mistake on offense. And he got better generally in high pressure moments

KD would say his own mother couldn’t cook if it helped him win arguments on Twitter. There’s no logical thought process going on in that skull besides “I gotta show this anon who’s boss”

People have been giving LeBron shit about super teams for 15 years though

“KD doesn’t care about anything but basketball. He’s a purist. Ball is life”

Can we stop this moronic narrative now?

It doesn’t make sense in any reality. It’s basically implying that Sixers would have won it all last year if they swapped PG with JB since KD joined a championship winning team

It’s deflection because he’s still mad everyone hates him for Summer 2016.

Even if you compare it to the actual best players in Maxey and Brown, they aren’t even in the same tier of players.

This comment is posted/repeated every week when a Draymond podcast clip gets voted up to the top. 

He’s basically just saying KD didn’t mean to offend anyone, he’s just a guy who thinks ‘more buckets = dominance’
