Well I'm sure he regrets playing now.

Larry Bird (ur God) once said he rather have a player take a shot and miss it than pass the opportunity altogether.
Basically he didn't like cowards. Makes u think.
It's just a game, right? Lololol
Bro, he possibly got a career ending injury and he did it for his team. Of course the fucking GM is going to be distraught, everyone who works for the Warriors probably is. It's only human to be emotionally affected by something like this.
Ain't no love for me here.
Now I know why I didn't get a farewell rec league tour like Kobe. :(
The way the fans have reacted is remarkably similar. When the offense didn't pan out as expected fans lauded fell back on their elite defense and I always always heard "but I really don't wanna give up smart" even when discussing top tier players.
See my Larry Bird statement.How's this?
Also nitpicking circumstantial fg% over actual game winners? Lol.
This threads infatuation with % while ignoring context is truly remarkable.
You not seeing how dumb your arguments are is always hilarious.
Give me enough attempts and I'll be the greatest clutch shooter ever too I guess.
This thread managed to chastise an entire fan base based on the actions of a few idiots and u expect me to believe that u can be sincere when having a conversation about kobe? Lmao 😂
Face value is what u like. Nuance is what u despise.

In terms of each team over hyping their potential? I think it's pretty accurate.
Blake, Ingram and the 4th pick to NOLA
Randle, Kuz and Lonzo to Detroit

That's ur face value attempt to hand wave the fact that it takes immense confidence to call for the ball in the clutch especially when everyone knows u r taking the shot.
I guess next u will say if u were 6"10, you'd be in the NBA?
If FG% didn't matter then yea.
Bum ass players have been chucking up terrible 'clutch' shots for decades bro. Obviously Kobe is no bum, but just taking the shot (especially if it's a bad one) doesn't mean shit.
So u r saying u'd be in the NBA at that height even if u shot poorly? 🤣
Also I think u r being disingenuous by claiming fg% doesn't matter in this context when it does versus the clutch.
If it has to be, then it has to be. I think Phoenix is involved though, I am not sure how.
can Durant sue or anything? clearly they potentially sacrificed a man's career for profit. I hope Durant does not fall for those tears. this is why I say Fuck the spurs as well for questioning Kwahi's health too. Players have to look out for their futures
I don't want to lose Blake, but that is like a comically good trade for the Pistons. Randle isn't as good as Blake, but suddenly they have forward with some size that could start at the 3 AND a point guard that knows what "passing the ball" and "not looking lost on defense" means?
Drummond/Randle/Kuz/Kennard/Lonzo
4 players just mug the fuck out of everyone to give Kennard 30 open 3s a game
anti-3 point squad
retro crew
Bad Boys 2.0
6 seed GODS
Going to Fucking Work Pistons
🤔
love u Blake
Where is the outrage over the Warriors handling of this, the crocodile tears of myers etc?
Many ppl chose to spend their energy on being mad at a some clowns who cheered for an injury over the pressure KD succumbed to playing which ruined the rest of his career.
I mean u could do both but all I still see is outrage over some fans.
did Warriors go against Doc advice? i mean your employer cannot just make you work at the expense of your health right?
They almost assuredly did not, as the doctor is a team employee, and they aren't going to force KD to do anything he doesn't want to do. As long as they were honest with KD himself about the extent/risks of his injury I'm not sure how culpable they are legally.
I agree with this. I think you are right. Were Raptors fans supposed to cry when the player that push to play in an effort to deny their team to winning a championship couldn't go no more? Such a weird thing to get upset about.
yikes. if they did advise Durant of risks and were completely honest, he went against Doc's advice it's on him
all righty then. i got my answer.
Keep generalizing while hand waving the Warriors' mishandling of this.
I don't think he went against docs advice. He wasn't 100% healthy but players rarely are and are still cleared by the docs to play. Not sure anybody could have predicted he'd blow out his achilles
My freezing cold take is that this proves that KD was right to leave OKC for GSW in that the only thing he should care about is what is best for him, because the teams do not give a damn. Players are just meat to them, even the superstars. KD wavered and decided to risk it all yesterday, even though it wasn't in his own best interest. GSW has a lot to answer for, but I doubt anything will come of it. It's a terrible lesson and I hope the young players entering the league will learn from it.
It's absurd for people to think like KD wasn't getting advice from an army of doctors and that he himself didn't want to go out there and shut up all his critics permanently.
U have zero rebuttals and instead keep focusing ur outrage on secondary storylines. Misplaced outrage if u will.
And yes u continue to generalize and hand wave (no pun intended) the more serious issue.
How do you know KD didn't force his way unto the court? So many people pointing fingers and nobody knows a damn thing about what went down.
I don't think a team can force a player unto the court against his will, no.
