  1. 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..

  2. 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.

  3. 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 😂

  4. 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.

  5. 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

  6. 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

  7. 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.

  8. 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.

  9. 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

  10. 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.

  11. 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

  12. Hearing Nick Young talk basketball is further proof not all NBA players know what they're talking about just because they played.

  13. 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

  14. 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

  15. 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
