So to you, winning is winning no matter what? Bill Russell is the greatest ever? Derek Fisher is better than Chris Paul? If you view basketball as only a business, then I’d agree with you. If you view it as a sport, then you should see why your argument is bullshit.

And strong arguments aren’t yours. If you want to explain to me how I’m being petty then you can, but it’ll be hard without knowing WHY I don’t think he earned it.

Yes, Durant is playing amazing. That literally has nothing to do with the point. He could be averaging 0 points on 0% shooting. The fact remains that he joined the best team in the league instead of playing against them. I’m not giving him shit as a basketball player, in that aspect he’s easily top 5 right now and a…

The point you’re making is ridiculously dumb. The pressure on him was to continue to do what he’s always done? Does that actually sound meaningful to you? That is NOT what people are on him about.

Exactly, he’s being judged on how he won it. Really simple, yet you still don’t understand that. It was THE easiest road to a title. The only pressure he faced was from expectations that were very easy to uphold. Don’t magically turn into a shitty player? Check. Win a championship playing on the best team in history?…

Basketball is a team sport so yes, you can be the best player and still be a coattail rider. He joined what was clearly the best team in the league. I understand exactly the type of pressure you’re describing and I’m telling you that it doesn’t really mean shit when there’s no real competition. You keep giving it this…

What’s petty about it? I don’t think he earned it. It’s more of a participation trophy than anything. If another top 5-10 player went to Cleveland and we actually got a close Finals, then I’d give him props for that ring. But this one? He joined what was clearly the best team in the league. Is he going to be a winner?…

Sure pressure exists, but in the most minuscule of amounts. Just like there’s “pressure” on Team USA to win gold at the Olympics/FIBA World Championships. It’s not pressure so much as expectation when you’re Goliath.

People who say that are idiots.

It’s not really pressure when you’re playing with 2 of the greatest 3 point shooters ever and a perennial DPOY contender. They were expected to win before Durant joined. There’s no tension at all to these Finals. We all know how it’s going to end. That’s not pressure.

I’ll never give him his due for this ring. Why should I? They were heavily favored and likely would have won the title with or without him. He is an all-time great and will be remembered as such, but he took the easiest route ever. People give LeBron shit for going to Miami, but this is like if LeBron had went to the…

What exactly did this season prove? Curry is about to win the championship on arguably the greatest team ever playing with 4/5 of an All-Star/Team USA starting 5 with a former All-Star 6th man. Westbrook averaged a triple double and took the OKC leftovers to the playoffs. Surround Russ with 3 and D players ala…

The personality of the actor will matter much more than their ethnicity. Sung Kang could’ve worked but I think he’s too old for it now. I always saw Spike and Faye as being in their early to mid 30s with Jet pushing 50 or 60.

So Durant threw the Thunder’s 3-1 lead to please his new super team...who blew a 3-1 lead to Cleveland...who are getting blown out by the Warriors...who now have Kevin Durant...

As another commenter said, I think you’re just emitting “sure I’ll check out your cock” vibes.

He’s worth over $100 million dollars. While another $53 mil would be nice I think he’d rather have a ring.

He’s trolling you dumbass. Welcome to kinja.

He’d have the one ring to rule them all and he’d be the undisputed GOAT in my mind. This is arguably the greatest NBA team ever assembled. You have 3 of the greatest shooters in NBA history, 2 of them currently top 5 players (who are also easily first ballot HoFers), 2 more top 25 players, and their team defense is…

Will it though? Assuming we’re talking a decline in athleticism and not injury, I could see him having the GOAT Old Man Game. He’ll still be able to post people up, and if his 3-point shooting improvement is for real then he still has plenty of useful years left.
