And that perception of “doing more” be tricking people into thinking he’s the better player

Bald players from the 90's have a tendency to do that.

Especially when they make their own 10 part pat on the back documentary.

 

[lovehateself]

was KG even better than derrick mckey ?


not srs

 

[ill steelo]

Basically simplified all that moving and operated in 2 spots. One of the goat iso scorers

Shout out to Avery Johnson. He set him up

He gave Serge 48 on like 15 shots Served Pau right before that. He was a killer man.

Even during the run I immediately wrote them off after that 40 point game from Brandon Roy I thought it was the same ol same ol

I don’t think I’ve ever been more surprised by a champ. I didn’t want to hear Dirk anything after ‘07

One of my favorite playoff performances

KG is my man but I agree with whoever said he wasn't a natural #1 offensive weapon. Dirk was.

However, it's hard for me to go against KG's versatilities.

I think I would go with KG for that reason alone.

Offensively, it was a pleasure to watch high arch shooters. Dirk, Fish, Ben Gordon. All were special to watch shoot the ball.

Dirk getting treated like a sucka by GSW and then redeeming himself by doing what he did in 2011 was some real man stuff right there. He stayed and made it work. He didn't run off with his Olympic buddies to rule the basketball world like a bunch of teenaged girls.

I still cant comprehend Dirk’s individual growth from ‘07 to ‘11.

I don’t think any player has improved that much after age 28.

7’ + with a LETHAL jumper and no major injuries

Dirk only had 5 seasons under 73 games played. Dude was durable as hell. 16 years of 70+, 7 years of 80 or more games.

and it helps that he didn't rely too much on his athleticism i.e. Bird, Duncan, etc. That type of game usually ages well.

Find their spot and “do work” for real

What a time



Giggling like teenage girls….and then got punked by Dirk.



This and the Knicks (wearing black to close out the Celtics in game 5 as a funeral) and losing gotta be some of the corniest ****

Stephs 2016 Finals was worse than Bron's 2011

Stephs 2016 Finals was worse than Bron's 2011

It doesn’t get much worse than an 8 point game in 45 minutes of action.

Blowing a 3-1 lead is worse

why yall lying?

Blowing a 2-1 lead with home court, after forming a super team with a prime D Wade & Bosh and scoring 8 points, and averaging 17ppg in the finals is disgusting for a player considered “the goat”.

3-1 leads ain’t even that rare nomore

I don’t think we’ll ever see a comeback from 3-0 tho. That would be crazy. I think only Hockey may have had it.

 

[ballinsam23]

Luck is involved in almost every chip.

Celtics had a fully injured East.
Raptors had KD tear his achilles.
Lebron had Rays corner 3
Lebron had Kyries 3
Lebron had Dray get suspended and Bogut miss games to come back 3-1

Stop it.

Reigning champs, Back to back unanimous MVP, Home court advantage, most wins in a regular season in NBA history. Warriors were getting compared to the '96 Bulls on ESPN every morning.

Up 3-1 and Steph folded.

All that luck and the Knicks haven't had any since 1973

Ray Allen’s 3 might be one of the most overrated shots ever

Bron scored 10 straight before it. He didn’t do that who cares about that one shot.

This really how you rationalizing your argument?

 

[ballinsam23]

Despite the Dray suspension and Bogut getting injured, and their defense going to ****.

To Bron and Kyries credit, games 5 6 and 7 they played some next level elite basketball.

Warriors also decided to play horribly. Brick squad with Barnes leading the way.
