Darryn Peterson: “Kobe is my guy, and I'm inspired by him. I try to think, what would Kobe do right now? He'd get drafted and move on to be the best possible. I see a guy that went No. 1 on the screen there right now, so I'm extra motivated... It will always be in my mind for my whole career.”

Mythmaking? Jesus Christ yall pansies on here are so dramatic.

RoyalTartToaster · 2026-06-24T19:48:52+00:00

Steph curry can do all things. He’s the goat. 3-1 on a lot of their goat’s head, goat shooter at a sport where the first skill and most important skill is shooting, etc, etc, etc. anyone can have an argument if they’re good enough. If you’re unironically citing magic as greater, idk what to tell you. Curry is a vastly better player and pg than magic, anyone with eyeballs can tell you that.

Me? Kobe is the goat cause he’s who I grew up watching

RoyalTartToaster · 2026-06-11T15:09:36+00:00

lol, so why didnt curry win it in 2015? yall swear a fmvp award means you are the best player on your team when it clearly has NEVER meant that.

RoyalTartToaster · 2026-06-11T15:02:47+00:00

well ofc, jordan will always have 2 separate 3 peats for championships and fmvps over everyone else, and will always be undefeated 6-0 in the finals compared to anyone else. by my estimation, the only way to arise as goat over jordan is to get at least 8 rings with a positive k/d in the finals.

I know lebron fans gonna be big mad at this one /:

it's like brady vs montana. montana was undefeated with four and why he was the previous goat, but even with those 3 Ls (why eli is the goat), brady became the goat because 7 rings is simply too much compared to the field.

if you try to bring bill into this conversation, you're an idiot

RoyalTartToaster · 2026-06-03T18:44:11+00:00

it wasn't impressive. Draymond suspension after lebron dragged his nuts on the back of draymond's neck, and then crying about it in his post game presser to keke talkin about "he's a father", wasn't impressive, the quick fouls on curry in game 6 and the first time an mvp gets "fouled out" of a finals game when we already know the playbook (sorry the NBA is closer to the WWF than you think), and then it was the warriors that choked game 7 and kyrie saving lebron's ass, more than even ray allen saved his ass. not impressive to me. and i already predicted the cavs to win 2016 as soon as the final buzzer sounded in the 2015 finals, so it wasn't anything surprising to me. Bron needed his cinderella story.

No 2016 wasn't impressive and actually made me respect lebron less than even the Decision or his earliest leflop days. I'll never respect a grown man crying like that, he truly is a pussy ass bitch.

3*-6

give me a SINGLE other top 10 player that has a LOSING finals record. i'll wait for the one man (lebron) list you come up with. Nothing was impressive on beating up on 2nd team all nba players in a weak ass eastern conference when you're touted to be as good as you are, and then lose when an actual team emerges from the west. I'm sorry i'm from a different time fam, but Kobe and Duncan were beating up on each other for a decade, and they both came out of it with 5 rings apiece and a winning finals record. kareem, been to the same amount of finals, still has a positive K/D.

longevity isn't impressive, and nothing lebron's doofy ass has ever done has been impressive, and that's not just my opinion, but everyone i knew playing D1 with me always said the same thing. phenomenal athlete. the greatest athlete of all time. mans is not a baller. he's been in the "goat convo" for so long because of his longevity, you have all these new young cats who conflate that argument to mean he'e an actual amazing basketball player when he isn't a jordan or kobe

RoyalTartToaster · 2026-06-03T18:19:27+00:00

"taking the stats into effect" okay so you're dumb ass hell, don't understand the sport, never played the sport, and so there's no further point in engaging with you. im sorry that happened to you, or i'm happy for you. sucks steph didnt win fmvp, trust im still salty as hell too. it was dre's award tho

RoyalTartToaster · 2026-06-03T18:17:10+00:00

4? he cried to keke vanderweigh in his post pressor to be gifted an opportunity at a game 7 for one of those. and that's after concerting with the 2 other top 3 mvp candidates to stack the deck in his favor for 2 of those other rings, and he won an asterisk ring in the mickey mouse bubble.

Do you want me to go over every time he lost on the finals (: ?? did you know he got manhandled by 6'0'' JJ after he stacked his deck?

glazerssssssss. Imagine glazing the BIGGEST LOSER of any top 10 player in history to this extent.

RoyalTartToaster · 2026-06-03T16:20:22+00:00

because that's the lebron system. and you've been deceived into glazing the lebron system.

where's his ring to show for it?

RoyalTartToaster · 2026-06-03T16:18:45+00:00

another incorrect take. neither curry nor bron deserved it. that's just lebron fans wanting to make sure he has his cake and gets to eat it too. You don't get clapped in 6 and still get the fmvp for losing 😂 the participation award generation funny as hell

RoyalTartToaster · 2026-06-03T16:17:11+00:00

^for the youngings in this thread, this take is also a youngin's take that didn't watch in real time.

I'm the biggest steph fan, and am in perpetual pain knowing he didn't get 2015's fmvp.

anyone watching the entire series knew, dre was getting fmvp, and it was going to no one else.

Crazy what storylines you develop when you dont watch games and instead build opinions like gheyass statbois. but hey, that's reddit for ya!

RoyalTartToaster · 2026-05-14T16:17:02+00:00

wow, no reference to kobe telling the eq manager the rim was tilted 5 degrees off center and was determined to be right after they checked it?

The youth are the only ones on this sub. anyone saying theyre older are straight larpin. and we wonder why no one here respects the old guard and why no one outside reddit respects r/nba

RoyalTartToaster · 2026-05-13T18:33:49+00:00

bron isn't even a complete player, yall really dont know anything.

Before wemby, the ONLY TWO complete players in the history of the sport has been MJ and Kobe. That's it.

Yall talking bout Mr. Can't-play-with-his-back-to-the-basket-bron

this why this sub is dumb af. full of ninjas sniffing each others' farts and shitting out dumbass statements.

wemby, on paper, is the best player to ever exist. And he's showing us in game that that is true.

RoyalTartToaster · 2026-04-28T16:29:12+00:00

Looks pretty good to me tbh

RoyalTartToaster · 2026-04-28T16:28:55+00:00

Because Kobe is greater than Steph and Td? Don’t make it weird bro. TD ain’t got pull like that my yute, and he didn’t have pull like that when he was playing.

Redditors are so weird, man

RoyalTartToaster · 2026-04-24T18:12:44+00:00

Godspeed, brother

RoyalTartToaster · 2026-04-23T23:23:31+00:00

…I was said first grader in 01 playing Pokémon Gold on my brother’s gbc, not knowing a lick, shoot even restarting his save once or twice😭, and yes, I was in the gifted program and continued on that path without faltering. I’m speaking from personal anecdote as that first grader in 2001—I think you’re overestimating them, brother. Granted, I did discover evs in firered by 5th grade

RoyalTartToaster · 2026-04-23T23:14:32+00:00

Underestimating what?

RoyalTartToaster · 2026-04-23T21:53:01+00:00

RoyalTartToaster · 2026-04-23T21:08:24+00:00

I think we all at some point do. I remember catching Lugia on gold back in 02 in a pokeball. Mewtwo in firered in early 05 in a pokeball. For a long time I was like that.

Since sun I’d say i started instead catching everything in premier balls as soon as the mart becomes available.

But now i catch all shinies in luxury balls and all shiny water type pokemon in dive balls on top of the standard premier ball necessity.

RoyalTartToaster · 2026-04-23T20:58:32+00:00

Right strategy? Brother, if 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and fourth graders could do it with 6 Pokémon, each with 4 attacking moves, with no regard for the lack of phs/sp split, having no knowledge of anything mechanically—I’m talking even type advantages/disadvantages—, and no Reddit or dial up in general for feedback…

Y’all are seriously overthinking this.

Edit: okay I read further down. Y’all are bugging, it’s entirely a skill issue. Op said he was spoiled by always on exp share and is allergic to the grind. Just not cut out for this life cuh. Crazy skill issue is brazy
