Probably….these guys not dogs. MJ and Kobe was different. All these guys friends.
MJ and Kobe were friends and here you are reminiscing over their overrated asses. They're only popular online.
Oscar burried that bassed ass mouth looking nigga lol
See I think that’s why I like Silver. He listens to the players so when shit goes wrong they can’t blame nobody but themselves. He’s very player friendly unlike the NFL who can’t even get fully guaranteed contracts.
And he didn’t tell not one lie either lol.
If Draymond's accomplishments mean his opinion matters, Oscar fucking Robertson't opinion matters 10,000 times more than Draymond's. Fuck outta here.
Talking about a job and what you discussed in the interview publicly is the best way to get the job... Lol
Even in this thread 70% of the content is parody pages or dickeaters pushing tropes and narratives from the 2010's. You can't blame the league for only giving you 20 minutes of actual basketball play.
That’s what I was about to say lol….he ain’t accomplished a 10th of what Oscar did……defending Oscar in the name of Draymon Green is twisted.
Steph Curry won ASG MVP in the Bay in a game that's widely considered the worst all star game of all time. That's gotta suck. Nobody's even talking about him winning it. 
I didn’t cite Draymond’s accomplishments to validate his opinion, I cited them to debunk Robertson’s idiotic claim that Draymond doesn’t guard anybody.
Sounds like he doesn’t watch modern basketball and if that’s the case, he should stfu about areas where he suffers from the big O— obliviousness.
Draymond has 4 rings. I agree, Oscar Robertson with only 1 ring courtesy of Kareem is stepping out of his pay grade tryna sass Dray. Old head needs to sit down and STFU when grown folks talking. BGOL being hypocritical about rings and their value once again.
LeBron James didn't play, that's why.
Bomani been on this for years revisiting this dead topic
Kevin durant is a top 75 player
The bay loves him and his time here
Steph Curry was the player being doubled and tripled while Kevin was on the court. That is why it was unfair. Kevin durant vs single coverage at every point equals unfair advantage.
Replacing who gets the wide open space with Kevin durant is the game breaker we enjoyed and appreciated but make no mistake teams lived with Kevin durant doing whatever he wanted if it meant Steph was accounted for.
Don't take my word for it
Ty Lue Admits He Trapped Steph Curry Over Kevin Durant in NBA Finals
Ty Lue has a very specific way of facing the Golden State Warriors.
Kevin left believing he could just make another "hov"
He did it with the guy who was supposedly just as good in Kyrie and the guy he had beaten in harden
They ain't make the finals
Steph won another ring with the remnants of klay
Wiggins playing the best he's ever played to the tune of 19ppg and 8 rebounds
Mr wizard Jordan Poole ( who benefitted from the single coverage and no pressure)
While making people believe in Otto porter Jr and
Nemanja Bjelica who retired after winning this ring
After 1 game Jimmy Butler was relieved at how easy the game is
Meanwhile kd is with prime booker and another former Steph comparative in beal and what they doing?
If you want to say Kevin was the best player on those teams awesome
History will remember who the best player and best career was and it's not even close
Not even a THING
NIGHT NIGHT
Charles Barkley makes shocking gesture amid abuse from angry NBA fans
Barkley previously vowed to boycott the All-Star Weekend and referred to San Francisco as 'rat-infested' and the 'armpit of America'. 'San Francisco is not a beautiful city!' he insisted.
You definitely sound crazy.
McClung should’ve never been in a dunk contest outside of a gimmick. 3 time champion just discredits the contest and takes away from it being an actual NBA dunk contest.
It is like allowing fans in to compete in joes vs. pros.
With the game now being global they should have been adopted this format.
And when you play on international soil FIBA rules apply... on US soil NBA rules.
Then throw some cash on top. Winning team gets a bonus and the mvp gets their bonus matched for their favorite charity.
The second the NBA decided they were going to let Kevin Hart make fun of players while they play and stop a game to honor a TV commentating crew, the players got mad and decided it was all a joke.
The NBA made a big deal about wanting players to play hard and supposedly even had a meeting with players about playing hard...and then the leage pulls that crap? I think the players were actually mad, and some made no attempt at hiding it. And frankly I don't blame them. Don't tell me I need to respect the game for the fans, and then go make a joke of me and my peers and disrespect me so badly by letting Kevin Hart talk his trash WHILE I'M PLAYING, have endless game stoppages for non-basketball reasons, and honor a bunch of commentators who continue to trash all the players game in/game out and then tell me to play hard the 5 minutes I get to play after sitting there for 30 minutes.
Something definitely happened to push players over the edge. Lebron refused to even put his jersey on for pictures. Ant suited up and warmed up and then decided last minute he wasn't playing (and then supposedly just left the arena after his game when he had participated in everything else all weekend). SGA was very clearly unhappy with Kevin Hart's talking to him during the game and didn't even try to hide it. Several other similar observances could probably be made. I wouldn't be surprised they found out the "championship game" was being stopped to honor the Inside the NBA guys and that was the last straw for a few of them. I know they hate how those guys talk about the game. (Last year in the playoffs Ant said he would not do any more interviews with them after they kept talking shit about his teammates, particularly Rudy, out of solidarity to his team so my conspiracy theory is that is why Ant actually decided to boycott last minute).
The NBA made this year's game a joke, not the players. It was just as, if not more, disrespectful to the game and the fans than the players not playing hard. Because the leage and TNT not only disrespected the the game and the fans, they also disrespected their own players - who are the product.
