No. I don’t cheer for the Celtics. Draymond is just like the Marchand of tht NBA to me and it’s amazing he gets away with it. I don’t cheer for the Warriors either but I can appreciate the skill of guys like Thompson and Curry.

Eh there was at least one instance where the bill came due for Draymond
Draymond Green laments suspension costing him 2016 NBA Finals MVP: 'Good luck leaving me off the NBA 75 if I was Finals MVP'
Draymond Green has accepted blame for the Warriors losing the 2016 NBA Finals.

And as much as I respect Kevin Durant, it would be hilarious to see the Warriors get titles both before and after him, while he's holding the Nets hostage to play buddyball with Kyrie for the fifty games a year he shows up.
I don't follow the NBA like I did years ago, but I tuned in last night and caught the final 10 minutes. Steph Curry is without a doubt the greatest shooter I've ever seen. Period.
Oh, I did. I remember watching him light up the Knicks for 68 way back when he played for the Jazz. I still believe Curry is the greatest shooter ever but wouldn't spend too much time debating it as there are too many variables (3-point line, height differential vs opposing players of their time, defensive play). Both are for sure all-time greats. It's a shame Pistol's time was cut short by injury.

A dear friend of mine who's quite a few years older than me said the same thing last night. Or at least that he's the closest thing to Steph he's every seen.
I admittedly never watched him play, but it's my understanding that if there was a 3-point line back then he'd be in a lot more conversations in regards to the all timers.

Double teamed, hands in his face, and just splash after splash from 30+ ft when it mattered the most.
I recall the time Curry was punched in the chest and was falling backwards out of bounds and hit it easily. He’s remarkable.

The Bay Area for decades and his grandkids aren't going to be mad about that line.

Well, he is. But he isn't the best player in the league anymore.I can't wait until next season. The LeBron fanboys will finally have to admit that he's not Jordan
The guy is no longer the best of his generation.
I hate how they give the trophy first to the owners. It's just a buzzkill.

I disagree.
To the latter point, I couldn't agree more. It's actually kind of gross.
Kerr looked almost uncomfortable.

LeBron is a douchebag who loves hearing himself speak. I, I, I, I and on and on. My favorite quote from the jackass is below. WTF?
“I'm true to the game, and I know what I bring to the table,” James said. “I came back for a reason. I came back to bring a championship to our city. I knew what I was capable of doing. I knew what I learned in the last couple years that I was gone, and when I came back, I knew I had the right ingredients and the right blueprint to help this franchise get back to a place that we've never been. That's what it was all about.

Show Me What You Got!
KD has four years left on his deal and will get his way. The agents run the NBA not the teams. What kind of teammate are you to immediately go public and demand a trade? What if the team says no? I get telling the management internally to move on from you and eventually if you have to you go public, but go nuclear right away? How does that instill confidence in the next team that trades for you? What if teams know that you are a ring chaser at this point and any trade for KD is basically a one year rental even with a contract? Just messy all around.

Seems like he's pissy that Kyrie didn't get his long-term extension and the organization finally told them no on one of their demands. Either that or it's the other way around and he's finally tired of Kyrie's bullshit, hence the weird timing of waiting till a day or two after he opted back in to announce his trade request.
And according to Woj, KD and Kyrie STILL want to play together so it ain't the latter

So KD out and freak show Kyrie is probably going somewhere else as well.
Who has all of the draft picks? Because Ben doesn't strike me as the kind of guy you build a championship team around.
Honestly? Sell all of them, tear it down, and see you in '27.
I'm kind of pleased Steph is going to make him look like a jackass in the long run.
