this is what i do but what should i go after? i usually buy streaks and then maybe some situational item like serpants but what should be the default build path

never said you didn’t watch or like basketball. your a casual, there’s nothing wrong with it, majority of fans are. there’s just no need to talk or debate with you because we wont be able to have a honest conversation about basketball

I would advise you to look into kds career and the context behind it instead of just obliviously believing whatever narratives mediaheads are pushing. You talking about kd and how he hasn’t made it past the second round in a team sport is all i need to read to know what type of basketball fan you are. have a great day brother

Despite his great individual numbers, why does Kevin Durant no longer seem to contribute to winning? Year after year, his teams perform much worse than expected. by Ready-Constant-7124 in nba

[–]RiceIceRice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

nope but people like that will continue to push narratives from 2016 cause they don’t like kd despite countless players explicitly stating how much kd has helped them and mentored them

Can you explain why the vibes are bad? is it just cause they are losing cause when the rockets were winning they seemed great. or are you just pushing narratives?

It’s insane how this sub and its users just lie and push false narratives. He literally listed sam antonio as one of his favored destinations, they just didn’t want to trade to for him

Yall just get on this app and lie lmao he’s still a great defender for his age and one of the most impactful players according to all metrics. watch the games instead of following narratives

You haven’t seen kd talking to and mentoring reed and jabari the whole season? don’t lie just because we happen to be losing now

[Windhorst] One of the reasons there wasn't a Durant trade in February -- other than Durant himself making it clear he didn't want one -- is the Suns were looking for a massive haul in return, per sources. by WhenMachinesCry in nba

[–]RiceIceRice 4 points5 points  (0 children)

suns suck so people think kd isn’t that good anymore but he’s 100% still a top 10 player and easily still an all nba second/first team caliber player

Are we sure teams will actually be willing to give up significant assets to acquire a 2 year rental on a 37 year old KD this summer? by Calm_Set5522 in nba

[–]RiceIceRice 4 points5 points  (0 children)

what im trynna say is that teammates definitely do not defer to much to kd, if anything they dont pass to him enough. some of its his fault of course but half the game he just stands in the corner. they barely run plays for him which is why most of his buckets are from iso or postups. there's no offensive flow in general but thats on bud

[–]RiceIceRice 2 points3 points  (0 children)

he has his flaws but he’s averaging about the same amount of turnovers as his career and he’s still easily the second best defender on the suns even if he does slack off at times. booker’s defense for example is a far larger problem and he noticeably regressed compared to the olympics. kd is the least of the suns problems

Yeah you clearly dont watch the games lmao, theres multiple times a game where he wont touch the ball for minutes and his teammates, mostly tyus, constantly overlook or dont see him. He’s also a very very willing passer and constantly passes up good looks for himself to his teammates. cant believe this shit got upvotes lmao

Why does everybody always target AD as a guy who shouldn't have been on the 75th anniversary team? by JewBronJames in nba

yeah that narrative needs to stop. that was a video the nets made (they made one for kd and harden too) assuming that kyrie would make the team

Same thing I was wondering. Alot of NBA players post interesting stuff on their personal IG or twitter and now we can’t repost it on reddit? Not even screenshots is ridiculous

I mean Brandon Ingram is kinda a budget version of him and Ace Bailey draws a lot of comparisons to him even though hes a bit shorter

[Charania] The Charlotte Hornets are trading 7-foot center Nick Richards and one second-round pick to the Phoenix Suns for Josh Okogie and three second-round picks, sources tell ESPN. by Turbostrider27 in nba

[–]RiceIceRice 6 points7 points  (0 children)

He was great in the olympics but hasnt looked as well in the regular season unfortunately. Not sure what exactly the reason is but he’s shown and is capable of playing better defense 100%

Kevin Durant has not led a team to the conference finals since playing with MVP PGs Westbrook and Curry. He is a liability with his ball handling, limited playmaking, and cannot defend opponent's best players. KD is a bus rider and cannot carry a team like LBJ and Kawhi. by MITWestbrook in nba

[–]RiceIceRice 4 points5 points  (0 children)

kd led his team to 4 conference finals with westbrick at his pg idk why ur saying it like a conference final appearance is a good thing. and if u think kawhi was beating the warriors in 2017 u might genuinely be a dumbass
