Thank you so much for mentioning how weak it was for the Warriors to go to Hamptons and beg KD to join them after a 73 win season and minutes away from back to back titles , I hate how nobody ever gives Steph , Klay, and Dray crap for that ! It was incredibly weak on their part ! If they had any heart at all they would have came back as is with minor tweaks and got revenge like the Spurs did in 2014 ! CUP CAKES !
So let me get this straight. Draymond tells the front office: hey we can replace Harrison Barnes who averaged 9.3 points on 43.1 TS% in the Finals with Kevin Durant, an MVP and 4x Scoring Leader. And theyre gonna respond, "nah everyone's gonna hate us lets not do that."

Bird had a ton of injuries in that post season. Could only play 6 games the season after. Injuries are the biggest reason for his numbers going down in the post season most of his career. I would have went with his 1982 playoffs. His numbers took a dip while being completely healthy, as far as I know.
@@dudelitte7817 It's hard to perform at your normal level whenever you have bone spurs in both feet, two messed up ankles, and a messed up back. He had to get multiple surgeries after this series. He could only play 6 games the season after. The man wasn't in basketball shape at the time and shouldn't have even been playing that series. I didn't mention that he was playing against the bad boy Pistons who would intentionally try to hurt teams best players every chance they get.
That’s because Bird played like a dumbass diving to save the ball, battling for rebounds when his teammate clearly was getting it, trying to score in the paint when it was not necessary at times. He really abused his body. So he was broke by the post season smart players don’t do that. Derrick Rose even says the way he played before his injury was inefficient and unnecessary
Nobody likes to mention the fact that Don Nelson, who had been the coach of the Mavs for Dirk’s whole career up until two seasons prior, was coaching the Warriors that season. He knew Dirk inside and out, and if anyone should have been able to shut Dirk down, it was him. Plus the Warriors gave the Mavs all sorts of trouble in the regular season. I remember having a gross feeling when they made the playoffs Still a choke, but probably one of the least surprising to me at the time. They also almost gakked up a 3-0 lead to the Blazers once, don’t remember what year
Man Dirk played like trash and never adjusted when played Warriors even in regular season.. Dirk couldn't guard or hit shots... He was basically hurting them
Jordan Sharpe seriously, ANYTIME someone mentions the warriors, KD gets disrespected out of nowhere even if he wasnt on the team in the subject, they cant respect him because he joined a good team. “its because he joined the team that beat him the year before” ok?? wouldnt that mean that the championship team couldnt trade and acquire ANY players other than the draft? by that logic
biff tannen o come on i dont even like russ other than some funny interviews, but you gotta keep it real man… check again, you must have forgotten how good this dude was.
His playoff numbers dip because he mostly went up against Russell and double/triple teamed. I love Wilt but it took him a while to develop as a playmaker.
Man I love you. You are so honest about each player even if you like them. It relaxes me. Just because I like a player doesn't mean they are a flawless entity.

Looking back I wish KD had stayed. He and Westbrook only played three healthy post seasons in their prime together even though they were together for almost a decade.
Kobe lost that game. He caused a riff with Shaq. Refused to utilize the triangle. When Ben Wallace was able to play Shaq man to man, Kobe should have utilized the triangle forcing Ben to have to cover both them down low. Kobe settled for jumpers instead of driving making contact and getting a foul. He never shifted gears to the mindset I’m driving souly to get to foul line or I’m dishing it so my teammates hockey pass it too Shaq and now Rasheed, Ben, the Detroit guards have to defend both me and Shaq down low opening up my teammates mid ranges
