**NBA FINALS THREAD - RAPTORS DEFY GRAVITY**

[BIG LEEMELONE]

These are exactly the games that get you..you put $ on the clear favorite. Some bench player plays his heart out, GS takes it easy and next thing you know you lost some cash.

Isn't that exactly what happened in game 3?

 

[shotsrangout]

so much length and girth in those two bodies

KD don't need to come back

KD don't need to come back

**** you talkin bout bro? stop ****ing play bro, you stupid bro. I'll kill you bro, where do you live?

-KD

 

[ThePeoplesChamp_]

Bro that's exactly what I said . I said it didn't happen overnight, it was brewing. So it's not just the media pulling rabbits out their ***. There's a real sentiment from both KD and the rest of the guys that he could be gone



So that whole thing between KD and Dray was just a report? You think KD is a lock to stay? How sure are you exactly..?

Wow one incident from 5 months ago you got me . All these reports and stuff comes out when the Warriors plays is pretty embarrassing. They’re trying to split this team up.

Klay says he wants to be a Warriors


Next day on first take “is Klay coming to LA to help LeBron” like cmon.

watch durant take significantly less to stay and they re-sign dray and klay

league's worst nightmare. hot takers have nothing left to discuss

How many rings does dwight Howard got?

 

[Based Jesus]

People often conflate being a better player and having a better career. They're not the same.
At his best Dwight was a better player. Dray has had a better career. It's hard to beat rings.

Ball looks so small in Giannis' hands

Outside of rings, what individual accolades does Dray have over Dwight?

Dwight was a better player and still has an argument for a better career.

A ridiculous amount of college accolades and awards versus zero from Dwight?

Podcast host Tim Kawakami noted he wouldn’t have thought Durant would take such a big pay cut last year.
Durant:

Me either. But I thought that, at that time, it was a good deal. But that’s not setting a good precedent for me if I’m like, “Man, I’m taking 10.” Now, they’re going to start taking advantage of me. You know what I’m saying? I know it’s a business, too. So, I’ve got a business to handle as well.

We’ll see what happens, but I don’t see myself taking that big of a cut.

Draymond has the rings but Dwight is no slouch at all.

8x All-Star
8x All-NBA
5x All-Defense
3x DPOY

He’s a hall of famer

Also add pedophile and booty goon to that list

A likely minimum of 4 rings, better playoff numbers, and personal accolades of his own gives him the edge for me.
Rings, rings, rings, rings, rings. Yeah it's a team thing but he's an integral part of the team. Would've had a finals MVP in 2016.

Playoff #'s? Dwight averages like 20-15-3 blocks in the playoffs. Dray 12-9-6. Dwight was the best player on a team he took to the finals.

What personal accolades tho? Dwight beats him in all of those and even DPOY awards. Not to mention he's got blocks titles, rebounding titles and more defensive teams.

If it's rings does Dray have a better career than Barkley and Malone so far?

 

[dland24]

i chuckled

What's funny? You asked for what Draymond has over Dwight aside from team things.

It's real interesting when dudes care and don't care about rings.

I think of it in terms of what career I’d personally rather have and I’d sacrifice some individual accolades for more team success. Winning is fun and benefits everyone. I’d rather be the lesser player, but still really good and important, with mutual rings than the guy with better individual numbers and no rings. I can see the argument on the other side though.

Dwight didn't go to college. Of course Dray would have that. I thought you were joking. And this was an NBA related question anyways

How tf are you gonna hold Dwight not going to college against him lol

 

[dland24]

Its not an NBA related question. Its a Hall of Fame related question.
