    what people seem to forget is that a lot of these superstar players came from the gutter. a lot of them experienced genuine poverty. there might be a sense of rivalry between, let's say, lebron and KD, but there's a mutual understanding that as young, black males, they have penetrated the higher echelons of society. competition and athletic achievements are important, but improving the quality of life of your family for generations to come, that's invaluable.

  • @jinxiao0215
    @jinxiao0215 7 років тому +515

    Just like Wanda Durant said to KD. Dont care what nobody say. All you hater's dislikes and comments don't mean squad. He's a champion today.

    • @Dzivdza
      @Dzivdza 7 років тому +8

      yea he is a champ, but under what circumstances? You think his legacy will be the same as LBJ or MJ or KB or any other GREAT? get your goofy ass outta here. He just a soft ass bandwagon backstabbin bitch with a RING. Congrats.

    • @TreyDoe
      @TreyDoe 7 років тому +6

      Loud8 Pac9 nope .. but at least got that the ring he wanted so bad , like what's the point of the ring if u just joined the greatest team of all time to get it ?

    • @yulewave1
      @yulewave1 7 років тому +1

      Yet he will go down in history as a weak minded coward for simply joining the team that won the most games in history the year before. The ring has no real value

    • @jinxiao0215
      @jinxiao0215 7 років тому +22

      OK. Your opinions have been heard. Doesn't change a thing. LeBron couldn't get his until he joined Wade and Bosh and the referee association. He has 3. Kobe couldn't get his until Shaq and Paul. He has 5. Magic had Worthy, Kareem. He has 5. Jordan Pippen, 6. Bill Russell played when there are only 3 teams were in the league. He has 11. Aint nobody are talking about them or hating on them today. All y'all are just on the HATE bandwagon.

    • @worgenization
      @worgenization 7 років тому +25

      What's the point of being a champion if nobody respects and appreciates it?
      Is it for the ring? Cuz anyone can buy one of those.

    • @kaaaarrrrl
      @kaaaarrrrl 7 років тому +9

      No struggle, no glory.
      KD a top 3 player in this league no doubt. He doesn't deserve being called a "champion".
      He joined the team that beat him just to win a championship, he did it for himself, not the city.
      Not just any team, one of the greatest teams in NBA history.

    • @kaaaarrrrl
      @kaaaarrrrl 7 років тому

      Kevin Martinez thats not true, both situations are different. KD betrayed OKC by joining Golden State the rival.

    • @nasiryahaya4184
      @nasiryahaya4184 7 років тому +4

      If you know anything about the NBA, it's all about how people feel about you, No one says bill russell is better than Jordan because he has more rings, its about how you win, everyone has a hell lot of respect for dirk because of how he did it. He blew a 3-1 lead to miami in 2006, he didn't run, he stayed and his time came. But goodluck to KD.

    • @Jamienesbiitt
      @Jamienesbiitt 7 років тому +8

      They didn't "need" KD, they already won a championship, the only reason they lost in 2016 is because draymond got suspended and bogut got injured, so FOH here with they "needed" him

    • @josephdormon478
      @josephdormon478 7 років тому +9

      trey doe
      Fuck the 73 wins.... They lost in the finals
      Last yrs Golden State team would've lost to this Cavs team.
      KD gave them the dynamism to compete against LeBron. He's a LETHAL SCORER and has the size to match LeBron defensively.
      They needed a SCORING SUPERSTAR to draw attention from Curry on the floor because in that finals CAVS game DEFENSE WAS FOCUSED PRIMARILY ON CURRY.
      Guessing you're a Cavs fan

    • @kd35beast24
      @kd35beast24 6 років тому

      They always wanna say its guaranteed so its unfair, even tho they still listen to and agree with idiot LBJ fanboys like Nick Wright and Colin Cowherd saying Cavs in 5 and the east Finals has been guaranteed and unfair itself. The thing is 2011 Finals was also a guaranteed W for the Heat cuz nobody picking Dallas over Miami, lets be real but there is an asterick next to that guarantee and the asterisk is *: Best player must show up and not put a choke out performance and put 3rd option numbers and get his ass owned by a tiny role player off the bench. And that's exactly what LBJ did choke out in what should've been an easy and guaranteed Heat win, you gotta give KD credit for showing up and performing and not choking or getting owned by some role player on Cavs like D-Will or someone else.

    Spurs fan here,congratz to Warriors first,finally having a well drafted and trained team and prolific staff regarding basketball itself and for trading/acquiring operations. KD did very ungrateful and pussy move to join Warriors after they beat him,but he didnt get carried by them,he was actually the best player and tried very hard to win it all,which he did. He did deserve Finals MVP and he played his heart out,but it was an easy way to the ring.

    I like KD's Mom. She obviously did the right things by her son/sons, but he DOES HAVE A FATHER that's in his life as well. Sometimes us Black MEN (ESPECIALLY) have WAY too much reverence for our mothers and not enough for our DADS.
