By Kabro Go To PostLG is sensational right now.Gonna check it out.
“Steph Curry is the face of the franchise, and that helps me out, because I don't have to,” he said. “I don't want to have to be the leader. I'm not a leader. I'm bad at saying, ‘Stand behind me and follow me.’ No. I'm one of those guys that's just like, ‘Let's do this shit together. Let's just work everybody together. I don't mind being on the front line with you, but let's come and do it together.”
KD is learning and accepting that he is a Beta. Damn.
You know I thought when we first signed him, it would become KD's team and Steph would never get any MVP considerations ever again. I'm glad that isn't the case. This is still Steph's team.
By LionPride Go To PostSo…..I need Embiid to not be able to play more than 33 games so I have an argument as to why KAT is better cause I'm runnin out of shit for my agenda
So you're saying you need a modern day Jeff Gillooly.

It's funny, I learned he was a beta when I saw his BlackPlanet page.

🤣
We have a few slaenters who would always argue he wasn’t a beta
I wonder, are you gonna argue with KD about whether KD is a beta or not?

By s y Go To PostMy goodness KD is a bitchWhen did being a team player and knowing your personality become "bitch" or something to be mocked for?
Guy goes out there and plays like a top 5 player every night and regularly gets it done.
He was always a beta and sus, but seeing the self awareness after the tantrums he made throughout the offseason is weird.
By shun Go To PostHe was always a beta and sus, but seeing the self awareness after the tantrums he made throughout the offseason is weird.The phrase beta is supremely dumb in this context.
Whatever he says, he plays like a 1 and it's a good thing too because Curry's lateral movement isn't anywhere near where it was 2 years ago. It doesn't amount to much because they blew the Cavs out, but he was cold in the finals.
By Mariosalic Go To PostI see no problems with that statement. Some people would rather be employees than employers.that's.....like a bad analogy friend.
By DY_nasty Go To PostImagine how good KD could actually be if he wasn't wired like a chump
You think he could walk into a pull up 3 over Lebron in the finals to seal the championship? Just imagine.

It got kinda of bodybuilding forums in here, what is this.
Anyway no one more "im taking my toys and leaving" passive aggressive than LMA.

By Kuma Go To PostOh hell no. Lakers fan we need an emergency meeting. Stern is broken.
Lonzo going to be alright
How do you train your son for basketball since he was a toddler and let him get to age 20 with a shot that broken?
By Stern Go To PostHow do you train your son for basketball since he was a toddler and let him get to age 20 with a shot that broken?Thinking you're the know it all in things despite not balling himself. Shoulda let momma handle it but he seems the type of dude to have to be in control all of the time.

I clicked on a highlight of one of the younger ones, the dope with the braces. You ain't seen nothing yet.

lol at Kevin Durant being a beta. Anyone that watches him play and think he's a beta is a fool. He's like Dirk, Curry, Magic, Bird, Garnett in that he tries to make the team work to achieve the ultimate goal of winning. When the team needs a big play Durant is always willing to be that guy just like the players I mentioned. That's why shit looks easy for him game in and game out versus other guys who want to hero ball. He is the best type of superstar to have. The game comes easy to him. He doesn't have to dribble out half the shot clock for the majority of the game and throw out a ton of moves to get his.
What you're seeing from Lonzo is what he has always been. Which is why I never understood why people were saying he's crafty, fast and all the other stuff they were saying.

Off the court, not on the court.
His offseason was hella sus. They're not bad guys but I'm not excusing dumb behavior from KD and Dray just cuz they on the squad.
Where as LMA is both on and off. Same with YNB.

kd is.... its REAL easy to show up and make big plays compared to being the guy. dude's got that vince carter mindset, not kg or whatever. i don't know how you can compare him to any of those other guys after how he carried himself for years in okc. not only did he not contribute to that kind of environment, he used a fake account to talk shit about that org right after he won with GS
By DY_nasty Go To Posthe used a fake account to talk shit about that org right after he won with GSlmao. almost forgot about that.
I think "beta" is not the best word... or there has to be more of a designation between off the court and on the court. "Diva" could be used but then if LeBron is the baseline for that then you'd need a weaker word for KD.
I think the Lakers need to have Ingram initiate the offense more in the half court as the primary ball handler. He's the only guy that can potentially be a star and he is the best ballhandler they have while being a decent passer.
By DY_nasty Go To PostKP a chump tooChump works.
By DY_nasty Go To Postwe kill LMA but KD is safeTalk about false equivalencies.
aite slaent
Kd shoulda just slapped Westbrook in front of everyone and said "calm your stupid shit" and then be done with it but that's old news now.
By giririsss Go To PostI think the mom isn't on the scene for the Balls.
huh? his mom is recovering from a stroke still...
The reference to mom handling it was even as a tyke since she's the person with the basketball background, played at state and stuff. But when one looks at how much of a control freak and clown dad is, he probably didn't want that.

There are no divas on the Warriors, they're kind of unique in that respect, no drama, no ego. You could say Draymond throws tantrums, but he shut down those offensive ambitions really quick when Durant signed.
Last year's finals were about KD and it will stay that way. if GSW could only have one they would still take Curry, but KD is the tip of the spear now. Doesn't matter if you blame the knee or natural regression with age, Steph cannot get separation and pull up off the dribble the way he used to. To the rim he pretty much only has straight line drives as well. Never mind the behind the back crossover, any kind of crossover is gone. He'll do it occasionally, but it's not to get past his man.
This ship has sailed, I'm sorry to say. KD is very much a necessity against elite competition now, which is fine, he's kinda good.
The Warriors culture gets largely ignored. They managed to convince Iggy to come off the bench and it worked swimmingly. That's not just him self-sacrificing, you have to cultivate a team where that's acceptable and feels comfortable to do.
Durant ripped the beating heart out of the best player in a generation - perhaps all time - during the Finals, and people call him a beta like it matters.
All because he said he doesn't like being the face of the franchise. Curry uses much of the same language.
Their mindsets are what allow them to be successful. Team first, but dangerous in their own right.

"Team first" to me also means asserting some kind of beat down (not necessarily physical) on folks who keep fucking that part up.
By s y Go To PostKD's ring is Robert horry/David West/Joel Anthony statusYou beta as fuck right now.

Curry and Durant showed maturity last season figuring each other out.
By Trey Go To PostCurry and Durant showed maturity last season figuring each other out.Oh for sure I was mostly referring to dealing with folks who are fucking the team up with their selfish ass drives or fouling out. You don't have to be the franchise mascot but at some point it's not a matter of choice is it?
do you really have to figure out Curry or Durant? You just play regular basketball, there's no quirks or weaknesses you have to deal with.
By The Frankman Go To PostYou beta as fuck right now.he's not wrong.
