This dude has to be the softest player in the league. All this drama with Ben and Kyrie this year may cause KD to ask out thus offseason. It's crazy how a team that was supposed to be the next great trio has been a huge bust.

Herb Jones and Jose Alvarado would have this dude jumping off his penthouse balcony if they played in a series

I thought that series was going to be halfway interesting.

The east has been a snooze fest so far.

Yeah, all the hype that series recieved before it started disappeared quickly.

KD doesn't even look right, all those minutes he played in the regular season wore him out.

KD is shooting less than 40% and has 17 TOs

Boston has a very good defense though

His outfits confuse me more than anything. I mean wear something where you don't stick out like a sore thumb. The Nets are basically just black, white and grey colors now. This dude sits in the middle of the bench in neon green, orange, pink, purple and yellow every game. Like dude, why tf are you wearing that.

Screamin A was going in deep on him today. Called him Zoolander and basically said he will be the main reason owners take a stand against guaranteed contracts.

Rich Paul. Enough said.

Ben is trying to do whatever it takes to get his $20 million from Philly for sitting on his lazy arse.

The Nets had Dinwiddie Allen and LaVert they let Spencer walk after the Harden trade. Then Harden tanks a season because of Kyires choices instead of riding out, they have to pull the trigger for Simmons, who is in a lawsuit with Philly for 20 million and now 4/5 of their best offensive players are under 6’4.

What a clusterfrick for Brooklyn.

Player empowerment screwed them up. If they had kept the team they had together and not traded for Harden they would be far better off.

KD chose to play with Harden, Kyrie, and Ben Simmons over Steph and the Warriors.


That has to go down as one of the all time bad decisions in sports.

That would be so messed up. The Nets gave him all that money, knowing he would be out for a season. Then he just signed a 200M extension. That should get them some measure of security.

Irving might be gone. Simmons too. I'd love to see them do a quick rebuild around Durant.

Think the Lakers would do Westbrook for Simmons?

Shiny but sure,
KD chose to play with Kyrie, after playing injured, then blowing his Achilles in the Finals for his team down 3-1 put them up 11 before being carried off the floor.

All of which after the media, some players, all of the LeBronites, and the internet basketball community try to devalue his 2 Finals MVPs. And he was a toe on the line from winning last year. After coming back from that injury at an unprecedented level.


Durant is probably past his apex now, but there are few NBA moments where you see a guy just take the crown of best player alive from the guy he’s facing in The Finals. This shot here. I’ve watched a lot of basketball and this was impressive as any.

Harden and Simmons weren’t there for over a year plus (and Simmons hasn’t played)from when KD signed with Brooklyn, so that’s not relevant.

I met Ben at LSU. I 100% believe he has mental problems. I talked to Hornsby A TON and Hornsby would get my kid on the court, got pictures with everyone throughout the season but Ben just wouldn't do it. My son IDOLIZED Ben that year and for years to come.... He was at an impressionable age and Ben was the #1 player in the Country and we could go see him regularly because tickets were like $5 and we just walked down and sat as close as we could after the first break. We were there so much and waiting for players so much and my son new EVERYONES stats and the players loved it, or at least acted like it. I don't know how those guys had a good time with Ben around will never blame someone for mental health. I have seen it up close, anxiety, depression.. it does affect some people to the point it is debilitating. I hope that dude gets things right, he might need a pill, he might need counseling, probably needs both.

KD is definitely still the best player in the league, but playing 40+ minutes night in and night out took its toll on him this season.
