NBA OFF TOPIC THREAD

crap...see everyone after the holidays.

That one took me a minute. Well played.

 

[Black Adam]

He is allowed to speak his mind. The flashy move was unnecessary and resulted in a missed shot. It also was a travel

Speak his mind, maybe. Put the kid on blast...?

Seems like a dick move to me. Just sayin'...

It's fitting that you're the one defending him. And I'm not surprised that you think that what he did, attacking a kid on social media, is acceptable. Keep it classless.

would Lakers fans rather have AD and this squad?

or no Davis and:

Ball
Ingram
Kuzma
Randle

?

basically saying- still sign LeBron- but just keep the young guys and play it out. Almost certainly no championship during "The Freak Show"- but going forward it would seem to be formidable.

That's a tough one. Great question.

On the one hand, AD is a unicorn and when healthy, is one of the top 5 players in the game. When he's right, he and Lebron alone make the Lakers title contenders.

But looking at how those young'uns have developed, that team probably contends too and would be a lot of fun to watch. But having AD already got them a title.

I think I go with the kids though.

KD crossed the line going outta his way to criticize that kid. I feel sorry for him.

Just another example of the glaring self esteem issues he deals with on a daily basis.

And I hope he gets called out for his insane immaturity.

Just another example of KDs complete failure at social media, it’s kind of pathetic really

 

[trojanfan12]

It was kind of close, but I think it should have been PI because the defender never looked to make a play on the ball. Had he turned and looked for the ball...no PI. I was a little surprised the Seahawks didn't throw a challenger flag, but I don't know if they even can on a call like that.

Everyone know that move was bad. Look under the comments from the video. We need to stop holding these athletes to such high standards. They are not role models. It was a bad move that isn't even illegal. It not like he responded to the kid directly either. He responded to the page that posted it

Saying a move was bad is attacking a kid? How do you think that move would go over in HS to that kid coach if he tries something like that in a year or 2?

This is even worse than him creating fake social media accounts to defend himself.

I don't know or really care of KD has kids. But if he has a son around that same age I wonder what his reaction would be if a current NBAer went to social media and blasted his kid?

It was low class, uncalled for and totally unprofessional.

Yes it was attacking that kid. Seems like the only person that can't see that is you.

 

[trojanfan12]

Another example of why KD's one of the biggest jackasses in the history of the league. What a complete POS.


An eighth grader is buried in criticism after Kevin Durant trashes him. 'Why's KD being so mean?'

KD retweeted a video of Jaylen Moore attempting a flashy move on the court. KD's response to the video- "This (expletive) stinks."

Then after KD went o the social medias to trash this kid two other NBAers also chimed in with their worthless and outta line two cents.

First that dipshit Isaiah Thomas (of the Lakers) said- "horrible basketball!!!, Smh."

Then some no-name fuck named Austin Daye (won a title with the Spurs in '14) said- "This is just bad hoops period."


Thomas & Daye wouldn't have said a damn thing about it had KD not turned into a total bitch and called this kid out in that fashion.

Why the fuck is IT even chiming in? Dudes on a 10 day contract and only in the league because of Covid and injuries.

He was attacking the move not the kid personally. There is a difference. Did he say the kid stink as a basketball player?

My bet is KD kid would never try that in a game just like I haven't seen Bron or Wade kid try something like that. The most blame should go to overtime twitter who initially posted the move as they provided no context behind that move. Had the provided the actual context behind that move then I'm sure KD wouldn't have said anything

The differences are...

1.) It's on social media, so now a bunch of other idiots are chiming in...

2.) Unless KD is the kids coach...why the fuck is he even commenting like that on some kid?

Agree it would not be like him to go personally at a kid, he is just so socially challenged.

Make sure to read comment # 9922 since you can't figure out why what KD did was so outta line.

This is old news to me. I saw it as it happened. He criticized a MOVE. Big freaking deal.

Stop coming on here attacking like he was attacking the kid because he wasn't

 

[bksballer89]

@tlance thoughts on this move as a coach? If someone just randomly sent you this move being performed in a real game, what would you think?

So you still have no clue why KD's actions were outta line? Figures. And nothing more needs to be said.

Just because you think it was outta line doesn't mean i have to agree. Once again, people are allowed to have their own opinion. A basketball player criticizing a basketball move isn't out of line in my book
