Gilbert it became a thing when you and LeBron James started that shit
The whole team ass. Nobody ever said KD was the reason they’re losing
They’re blame deflecting instead of calling a spade a spade and saying it starts and stops with KD
The coach is ass that’s the only explanation
Baseball is a different sport, dummy.
people forget kd led the suns to the playoffs last season idc idc idc book and beal were always out most of those wins was because of kd if not all vogel was a good coach just a meat rider lol..
If they can and they’re not it’s their fault
the day they trade for Bradley Beal is the day they ruined the team.
I normally don't agree with Arenas but I agree with what he said here. I'm a baseball guy and baseball players never get the flack basketball players get individually for team failures. Mike Trout was the face of baseball in the 2010's and he only made the playoffs once that whole time where he was swept. He rarely got any flack for it snd they just made excuses on how he was on a bad team all that time.
it's what comes with it when you're the superstar/best player on the team. nothing more simple than that.
Due to the fact majority of the budget is being spend on three players. The organization doesn't have the money to improve the roster.
dude is so baked 💀💀
if winning isn’t centered anymore than why does anybody’s stats matter?
Just give every award to whoever has the best stats and call it a day
KD is a hooper, he’s going to get his, especially on a bad team…I’m not giving him any more extra credit than Booker when the team is trash
I’m at a point where if your team ain’t at least in a real playoff seed, not no play in BS, than I really don’t care what you got going on unless you’re doing something genuinely historic like Westbrook avg. a triple double for 4 seasons
4 seasons bruh 😂
They never built this team the rite way man they need a good coach mark Jackson would help this team
That’s what leaders and head coaches are payed to do. Take on the burden and pressure for the whole team. all championship winning players’ interviews have the word sacrifice mentioned multiple times. Every single one. Sacrifice Encapsulates many aspects of winning from the tangibles to the intangibles. Small thing like taking care of your rookies to have the superior skill to save your team at times.
KD to the Bulls
I really think Steph is the only mf to score his way to a chip. Anybody else who is just a pure bucket and has won were also elite defenders but as far as I can think right now, volume scorers have never won anything but an MVP and scoring titles. Even Wilt only has 2 chips and the mf was averaging 50 and won no ring that year. KD is one of those guys who can guarantee you 25-30 but can’t guarantee you much else I think it’s time to face that seeing how he’s only won with the greatest team ever and hasn’t done much else since
Gil repping the Perth Wildcats jersey is tough!!!
If this was lebron every body would dogging lebron out kd can't win without curry that is the thing even in okc when he had a great team he could not win
There’s what you call empty calorie stats.. where you have good numbers but don’t make impact plays. You see it all the time with Lebron stat padding. KD currently dgaf and is just hooping.
Mike Bibby only played 22 games and started 12 games for Miami during 10-11 season. Quit making excuses for KD, because we know his play does not translate to wins for his team anymore.
You notice how Dbook never gets any blame, but somehow its his team.
Gil only talk about scoring kd don’t need to be mentioned with lebron ever again
How y’all listen to gill y’all stupid
Gil just making retarded comparisons all week 💯🤣🤣🤣
Kd don’t make teammates better that’s his history
Thank you Nick Young!!!!! Quote “he’s too good to be losing “.
Isn’t greatness supposed to make the team better? So it is kd fault they not winning he is a focal point it was easy to give him credit in gs why can’t he lift them
So luka and lebron aren’t the same style player. Smh spo change the offense to fit lebron cause he couldn’t run the system this guy
There are so many of these supposedly championship-bound super teams who flop, don't have any defenders, and don't have a supporting cast. Westbrook-Harden-Durant, Irving-Harden-Durant, Beal-Booker-Durant. 0 championships, and coincidentally, 0 All-Defensive selections. Whoa, no defenders and no championships, what a crazy coincidence!
The Duncan Spurs dynasty had several great defenders like Bowen, Duncan, and Kawhi. The KG Celtics championship team had multiple great defenders like KG and Rondo. The Heat championship teams had several great defenders like Wade, Shaq, Payton, Mourning; Wade, LeBron. The Warriors dynasty had some great defenders like Draymond, Iguodala, and Klay. The new Celtics championship squad had several great defenders like Jrue, White, Horford, Brown, and Tatum. The Chauncy Pistons dynasty had numerous great defenders like Ben Wallace, Tayshaun Prince, and Chauncey Billups. The Kobe-Shaq dynasty had 2 All-Defensive selections each season. The Bulls dynasty had some great defenders like Jordan, Pippen, and Rodman. The Bucks championship team had a few great defenders like Jrue and Giannis.
Before you get carried away with some super team getting assembled, check how many great defenders it has.
devin haven't got better since the finals run, KD isn't good enough to hang with the top 3 mvp canidates, beal robbing the suns, the best big they had is nurkic(thats a problem), bol bol didn't get real minutes until it didn't matter, they got no draft picks until 2032, and unfortunately as a bucks fan bud is slightly overrated
Suns fan here, it’s so clear yall don’t watch the suns. Inconsistent minutes, inconsistent rotations, not playing the right guys…
Ayeee it’s dope to see Los on Gil’s Arena but what happened to his pod with Austin rivers lmao 😂
Hearing Nick Young talk basketball is further proof not all NBA players know what they're talking about just because they played.
Finally someone brings up the bull shit Steph curry 3rd in mvp voting year! Like bruh how?
KD is averaging 27 at age 36 — why is he the one getting blamed instead of the front office or the coach? Are we being too soft on Booker and Beal?
who is this guy
Is this that hard of a conversation? Their team sucks. So of course they’re not gonna be winning games. Especially since they don’t even mesh well and Beal doesn’t even wanna be there. How is that so difficult to understand? These blacks are slow
I have no idea who that guy is next to jennings AND I cant be the only one
Man, I’m all about this vibe, so fresh it’s unreal.
KD is 36 years old right. Is it Book team or KD team
Beal is the bigger issue. He can still play good but he’s not needed for that team. It’s crazy to have two natural SG’s and force one to play the point it cuts into their game. They really should just ship Beal wherever he wants to go and take the L and build properly around KD and Book
That team was decapitated when they failed to sign CP3
He love making excuses
Josiah let them talk for 16 minutes for no damn reason lmao. The offense is not as bad as it appears to be according to the narrative. Its 100% the defence thats the issue due to lack of athelticism
Suns are a team with 3 left shoes the got 3 scores but try putting that left shoe on your right foot and see how far u get
Shai its caught doing the Lebron Flop, and flopping looks bad.
KD is bus rider
He can't be the bus driver, that's why wherever he goes, that team fails
