Nobody is trying to talk him up as a superstar. He isn’t one.

But as you said, the statue should be of all 3 together.
What happened was kind of absurd. I mean the whole thing started with Kerr noticing that Steph can hit a 28 footer and gave him the green light. And it helped that he had another guy who was also top 5 all time pure shooters of all time. All I'm saying is that Klay or Steph have a few more alternate universes where things work out for them than Dray does.

I mean…

All depends on what you define as working out.

Does Draymond have a HOF resume playing in another city?

Probably not.

But he would still have a damn good career. He is a good basketball player who gets discounted too much because he isn’t a scorer.

There's also the distinct possibility that Dray would've been on his 3rd or 4th team by now and playing himself out of the league with his antics. Not every front office has the patience to deal with a player like him.

Even if the Warriors somehow win Game 5, I'm not even sure if Steph will actually be back for Game 6. A hamstring injury is not something you just rush.

Well I'm certainly glad being a wiseass made you feel better about yourself. For about 3 seconds. A temporary distraction from that miserable existence of yours living in your mother's basement.

Actually, studies have shown that being a wiseass makes @msgkings322 feel good about himself for an average of 6.8 seconds.

As for miserable existence...how bad can it be with the free Hot Pockets?

The W's won the title in 2022. When is this whole 'development window' that they've missed so far. Are you thinking that they should have run a Curry/Green/Ayton/Kuminga/Moody starting lineup like something would just magically happen? Remember that young player that developed in the tail end of the Lakers or Celtics dynasties to carry the torch forward? Neither do I.

AC Green, Byron Scott and James Worthy came to the Lakers as rookies in the middle of Showtime and developed just fine. Scott even had to start immediately and replace Norm Nixon who became a fan favorite.

Worthy wasn't even able to beat out Kurt Rambis his rookie year.

I hear those guys helped get them 3 more championships.

And he only gets the leeway here because of all the winning. If they weren’t winning rings he’d probably have been shipped out

They likely won’t have to make that decision

I dont think there was ever a chance of Curry playing again in this series but of course it wouldn’t have been smart to come out and say that.

Neither of us have any idea but the chatter was game 6. We probably won’t get to find out.

What’s Father Time record? I think I got it at 437227229-0

Father time gets beat all the time.

See Brady. See Lebron. See a million other examples.

Unlike the playoffs just because he always wins the final game, doesnt mean he won the overall head to head matchup.

If he was undefeated, everyone would be dried up by age 33.

I just think in the regular season it’s a minimum 3 week injury. The chances of reinjury if pushed are high.

Like I said we don’t know the details or actual severity.
