and the overall message doesnt change. they have communicated. maybe its not in the way that broussard initially suggested, but it doesnt change anything that they have had direct communication with one another
I agree, but he's definitely trying to act like he's more of an insider than he is. It's been his MO forever.

wont disagree with that

KD starting up a 5 hour conversation with Broussard on IG is what insinuates that they know each other enough to have each other’s number.
Now Chris hasn’t given KD his number yet, but that hasn’t stopped KD from reaching out to him multiple times for hours and hours.
They’re texting. Idk what else to tell you. KD is texting Chris Broussard.

And Lebron could potentially rejoin the conversation after his terrible year this year.
27.4/8.5/8.3 on 51% is a terrible year.
That's the absurd standard LeBron is held to. Averaged more points, rebounds, assists, and steals than KD. Had a higher PER, higher BPM, higher value over replacement yet somehow KD is "clearly" the better player.

i just think its weird that broussard said they have texted when they havent. maybe he got DMs on his phone and got it confused? idk, i dont think it makes much of a difference which is why its so weird that he said texted instead of DMs

He’s also the best player of his generation, no question
That’s debatable.

There’s a reason I said completely recognized.
Fans are more biased than media...but important ones such as Rachel, Zach, Ryen, etc...have all acknowledged he’s the best player in basketball among others
quote:
Just a straight up lie. This is the first season people can definitively say Durant was better. quote: He’ll have maybe two more years as the man, He’s had 0 years as the man, and he won’t have any going forward.
He’s had 2 years as the man, best player, most valuable player on one of the best teams ever. That’s not in question except by detractors-LeFans.
quote:
So you think Durant is better than Jordan too?
Weird that you’re bringing up Jordan, but it’s possible that Durant can pass Jordan, but his reign would have to continue for 5 years & the haters would have to submit.
It’s far more likely not happening. 5 years from now he’ll be 35-36.
Giannis will be 28 and likely the dominant force.
Kawhi 32ish
Davis early 30s
Simmons, Embiid in prime.
Zion would be 25.
The 3 best players this year are Durant, Giannis and Kawhi.
Kawhi could have an interesting arc if he gets to the finals.
I’ve also said, repeatedly,that if Giannis takes the NBA’s triple crown this year-very much in play especially with Durant’s injury, he’s unquestionably the best player in the NBA at that point.

Actually don’t disagree with any of this. Those numbers being considered terrible is laughable.
But he literally stopped trying on defense, lost way too many games to teams like the knicks and suns when the lakers were pushing for the playoffs, and just overall seemed disinterested and not playing at the same level. Speaking non-statistically, he had a terrible year. And the lakers suffered for it.
If those things change next year and he’s back at that same level statistically, he’ll be rejoin the conversation.

It’s 2019. I truly think it’s all the same.
Countless times I’ve seen a friend comment back on a Snapchat video they received and then days later they’re still making plans and talking and shite in that same text thread thing.
Same with pretty much every app.
I’m not holding it against someone if they don’t say, “I was snapchatting my buddy for hours the other day about life.”
And Broussard is old anyways. Dude called messaging through text.....texting. It’s a bit ridiculous that people are hung up on the word he used.
Also, KD is a BITCH.

I stand by my thought a ton of Durant haters stem from LeBron fans upset he was usurped.
Again, this isn’t without precedent.
LeBron had a ton of haters from the Kobites.
Especially when he changed teams to pair up with a few all stars.
It’s normal message board behavior for the NBA landscape, I’m just pointing it out.
Durant’s a weirdo, obsessed with proving people wrong. I enjoy it.
He absolutely made the right move going to Golden State. He’s measurably better on both sides of the court since going there, & he was already the best scorer in the league despite playing with the most self centered player in the league.
It’s a bad year for LeFans, as the general narrative is not really interested in basketball anymore...which is completely fair after 16 years.
If it wasn’t good for his media empire & his wish to play ball with his son, he’d be retired.
That’s okay, but just acknowledge it so the Internet can move on.

You are a weird dude. I've never in my life met someone who uses text message as a blanket term for literally any message of text.
They were not texting and you know that.

There is legitimate debate going on right now on whether his team is better without him playing.

Let’s play a game. When I’m back on a computer, I’ll post links to player rankings from before this season started. You do the same.

Almost as weird as you insisting people like a player because of his shoes.

And this is how we know you’re not to be taken seriously.

If you say Giannis then you’re emphasizing regular season, so add harden.
If you say kawhi you’re emphasizing playoffs, so add curry.
The real takeaway here is that this is the first year its indisputable that Lebron isn’t the best player in the league. And as a result, there are a number of players competing for that distinction, but no clear winner. So as I’ve been saying, Durant has never been completely recognized as the best player in the league. And likely never will be.

I don’t hate LeBron, his fans are another issue.
They are the most sensitive and protective of their guy.
Rachel, Zach and their ilk are important because of the respect they carry, their body of work etc. not debatable.
Plenty of media have said Durant’s passed him up 2 years ago.
He cooked him on the court, without question.
It’s only this year that LeFans are coming to grips with it.

Chris Broussard is old af. He gets a pass. I bet if he would have said he was talking to KD. KD would have said you don't have my number i haven't talked to you on the phone before.

Well you can stand there being a moron then. Durant gets hate because he does stupid unnecessary shite on social media and because he left the thunder to join the 73 win team he blew a 3-1 lead against. Neither has anything to do with Lebron.
You didn’t see Lebron fans hating curry in 15 and 16 when there was talk of him being better.
You didn’t see Lebron fans hating kawhi when he locked Lebron down in 14 better than Durant ever has.
You don’t see Lebron fans hating Giannis now that he is the likely heir apparent.

Sure, if he wanted to win championships without being recognized as THE reason for winning those championships. Which he clearly doesn’t, based on his social media behavior.

I don’t hate LeBron
Your behavior on this message board proves otherwise. Not only do you hate him, you’re obsessed with hating him.
For a recent example, see your complete lie about lillard facing more all-nba players in this year’s playoffs than Lebron did the whole time he was in the east.
In a thread about lillard.
Where Lebron was never mentioned previously.
quote:
Rachel, Zach and their ilk are important because of the respect they carry, their body of work etc. not debatable
They are individual media people with opinions, nothing more or less.

So you’re in for that posting best players list game?
quote:
He cooked him on the court, without question.
With plenty question. And less than kawhi did in 14, when Lebron was visibly dejected when kawhi entered a game.
You’re just still stuck on him switching off Durant on a ball screen in a late game situation.

It’s only this year that LeFans are coming to grips with it.
Nah, it’s only this year that it’s actually true.

When one results to insults, their argument is flailing.
73 wins is meaningless.
Those Cavs, healthy, were better than the Dubs pre-Durant.
quote:

That’s false, it was the “no help” argument, “put him on GS”...do a search & you’ll see.
quote:
You didn’t see Lebron fans hating kawhi when he locked Lebron down in 14 better than Durant ever has.
Again, “Wade & Bosh suck”...also revisionist history.
quote:
You don’t see Lebron fans hating Giannis now that he is the likely heir apparent.
Because he’s not succeeding him, he’s succeeding the guy who succeeded LeBron. The Kingslayer if you will. That’s why he’s their next guy.
If Kawhi takes Toronto all the way-he’s getting legitimate MJ comps...as he plays more like him than anyone. Then people will start placing in all time convos, possibly calling him the player of the decade, and the hate rise again.
quote:

For context, I literally said LeBron got the same kind of hate by Kobe fans, for some reason is not included in the quote you pulled.
quote:

I actually don’t care about his ego, all of those guys have huge egos, are obsessed with their narratives.
Curry and Duncan are the exceptions.
I love Durant’s “frick you” attitude and how he plays basketball-& his dedication to honing his craft.
quote:
Sure, if he wanted to win championships without being recognized as THE reason for winning those championships. Which he clearly doesn’t, based on his social media behavior.
The Dubs couldn’t beat a healthy Cavs team.
He’s literally the reason it went from “slight edge healthy Cavs” to “1-8 in the Finals”
He shot 70% when LeBron James guarded him. That’s “Giannis at the rim” efficiency-essentially a layup.
He hit the Game 3 dagger from 30 ft out with James guarding him.
He did the same thing next season only James saw it coming and didn’t pick him up in transition and wanted no part.
Durant passed him up, on the court, when it mattered. First Take narratives don’t hold weight to that.
It’s on film, look it up.

No, I’m obsessed with the truth.
Giving Lillard props, that tidbit was used for context how tough the West is. If you detract that the East was easy, then it’s a bonus.
I think LeBron is great, just not as great as his hype, all timer no question. When he loses, more often than he wins are his fans Full of excuses? No question.

Really? I have a group snap that I'm sure on more than one occasion have referred to as a text (most of the snaps are texts not pics). It's a text based conversation on your phone, what does it matter if it's an actual "text" versus a DM, especially when KD was the person who initiated.
KD tried to act like Broussard was lying, when he was the one who reached out to Broussard. It's a bad look on his part. If you think Broussard looks worse in this situation, you're delusional.
