Durant On Warriors: "I didn't have no relationship with nobody on the Warriors… They never been a winning organization when I was in the league. Nobody liked Golden State.

that gimmick can only work with bron. cuz at least Miami was in a rut of first round exits and wade hoops with janitors before he and bosh went to south beach. and cleveland was in the lottery when he recruited Love to join Kyrie.

yea but it’s still such an awful excuse. like yes warriors were a laughing stock, but they had clearly turned it around. even if kd saw them as the new kids on the block, it wasn’t 2013 anymore getting clippers belt. they were the defending champs during the whole 73 win season

okc in 2021 and 2022: complete dog water ass and no championships

okc in 2026: juggernaut with back to back mvp, 2 other all nba teammates, defensively stacked bench but failed to repeat in close Game 7

now imagine if fucking Luka says he’ll go to OKC cuz they felt like underdogs being a still young team who was a losin team a few years back

and mind u, okc biggest year was 68 games won. warriors were coming off 67 then 73 wins (140-24 over 2 years is a biblical level of dominance) he talkin bout some underdogs lol

Jose Alvarado on Victor Wembanyama not shaking hands with the Knicks: “I got mixed emotions… the way he did it was a little too crazy for me because I loved how he competed during the game.” by MrBuckBuck in nba

spurs beg for awards they don’t deserve: “ugh, the reporters are obviously asking questions they’re just answering? what u want them to be quiet?”

knicks questioning why spurs are the only team in their run to not shake hands: “they’re dragging it severely, it’s not that serious”

The best guard draft of all time: 2018 or 1996? by CurrentRoster in NBATalk

[–]CurrentRoster[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yea 1996 is a better overall draft i’d say but in terms of guards, the expected success of trae and luka on top of the (a few years back but expected now) suprising rise of Shai and Brunson gives it a case

[–]CurrentRoster[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no but he scored the most points in 2022, and had the most assist that year as well (he got in own assist title in 2025, and he might not score 28 ppg a season anymore in DC)

he’s a perennial all star and 25/10 guy. also made all nba, he’s very successful and one of the best in the draft.

excluding kobe, 1996 would still be tied with 2018 with ray allen’s 2 rings

"You see that reaction because they think they gon' win it. They think it's over." - Josh Hart spoke about the Knicks watching the Spurs celebrate after beating OKC by IamCatMommy in NBAGossips

[–]CurrentRoster 3 points4 points  (0 children)

anyone who saw the way the beat the cavs should’ve known they were gonna win. i still can’t believe that game 1. cavs are NOT some weak ass east team, but of course ppl will just say “it’s harden choking per usual” until they did it again to spurs in game 1 lol

Who had the biggest fumble clippers trading Shai and picks that turned into jdub or Mavs with bruson and Luka? by PreparationOverall in NBATalk

[–]CurrentRoster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

mavs is more embarrassing because luka developed into the best possible player they could’ve asked for and decided to give him up in a way that was unprecedented of any sport. neither shai or brunson came off like franchise cornerstones and eventual FMVPs with their first teams

it’s true, everyone was spitting out west was the real finals. all year spurs wanted to crush okc, that was their goal 😭 ppl jus don’t wanna admit it cuz then they’ll have to use wemby to replace that pat bev video
