@@imnotblindbutiloveblindfol8449 He’s been the same his whole career. He’s a sassy little man who has no respect for fans or the game. Always miserable and complaining. Left the Warriors when he realized nobody took his paper rings seriously and schemes along with like 10 other great players to form a super team in BKL. When things didn’t go his way he bailed on them to go join another established proven team with other big talent to take the pressure off. When he joined, everyone had them winning the title that year. Now that things aren’t going perfectly, he’ll probably go hop back on the Thunder now that they’re good again and act like he’s doing it for the fans
@@imnotblindbutiloveblindfol8449 he’s sassy and miserable as ever what you talking about lol. And he’s been bailing on franchises and fans who invest in him and trying to hop to a more perfect situation his whole career. Guarantee he leaves the Suns soon and probably goes back to OKC now that they’re good again
Jokic is many things but humble he is not. If you went to your job and acted as if you did not care whether you had that job tomorrow would others think you were humble?
Real. People talk about ratings often but ultimately I don’t think we appreciate what’s right in front of us when it comes to the talent and product of the NBA
I don't think the reporter meant anything by it. Lebron, KD & Steph are all in their last few years, and all STILL elite. The reporter was just giving reapect to the fact that these guys have been consistently performing great over their lengthy careers and a treat for fans to watch. Jokic has many more years left to continue to be great.
ppl have been conditioned to slander KD because they grew up watching the media hate on him from national live TV to Social Media Yall just hold a grudge against him because he signed with the warriors
I think it’s more they liked him as a competitor and to see him do that, takes away from what sports are all about especially when you’re an all time great. It’s not just hating on him because of the media, that’s an easy scape goat though
@@mthomson213 so, what you sayin about Beckam, Ronaldo, zidane, raul, figo, salgado, casilas, owen, roberto carlos, makelele all them in 1 team real madrid and remember, luis figo sign with madrid after madrid beat barcelona. see we in europe we dont care so much about this stuff and KD was FA!!! you and me would do the same if they come with all the money they give to him and he won!

Same. My personal goat. His work ethic, attention to detail and approach to his craft is unmatched to me. I wish I loved anything as much as KD loves to hoop
@@psionic420I would say most ppl put themselves first, definitely not just most men. If you truly believe that than you’re doing what he’s doing lol only thinking of you
@lamarion3 you're correct about the men vs people thing I should've said people but idk wtf you're trying to say in the second sentence, it makes no damn sense
Well tbh, if D Rose wanted to keep playing, he could be doing so in similar situation as Russ. And, really I think more teams could use a guy like D Rose as a vet, over a guy like Russ🤷♂️
My pastor told me when you make haters your doing something right. Most these grown men who have something to say but if we were able to talk to their past girlfriends or friends im sure they would have something bad to say about their characters to, like feminine traits, gossipers, liars, disloyal etc. KD life is under a microscope so its easier for grown men to judge even though they life a mess

Is that what you actually saw, or are you just talking? The Nuggets are not a high volume 3pt shooting team, and the Suns have 3 players who all love to get their points from the midrange mostly.
Russ is probably the least understood player by the regular fans, and that's thanks to the media, who generally despises him. However, he has the biggest gap in terms of media respect vs player respect. They all know he's a top tier player. For a moment (probably 100-150 games) he was the #1 player in terms of performance, in an era where KD, Curry, LeBron and a few other HOFers were close to the peak of their powers.
Let’s be honest ring talk in this era of basketball is non sense, GSW stacked the deck counted the cards & had a easy run every year CP3 Russ harden deserves way more respect
Way better than LeBron answer of him and Steph. That shit is weak and what the problem is in the nba. Well that and you have to pay for a ridiculous amount of streaming to be able to watch it.
@vashthestampede9269 You're not even making a point. Games are still being sold out and fans are still loving the game. You are the same people that tell lies and try to push false narratives just like you did with the NFL
@@GeronimoBraveheart ummm I’m talking about the viewership. The NFL doesn’t have that problem. I know I can watch great games for free every week at the same times. The nba does have that problem you proved it by hinting at “all the ways to stream the games”. Maybe I’m mistaken but that sound like illegally streaming. AKA the low viewership. Selling out games, which a lot of games are not, is not the main goal. The suns do it right and allow anyone in their viewing region to watch freely.
NFL fans startin to annoy me 😂 viewership this viewership that, 17 games vs 82 games and on top of that look at any social media account for NFL vs NBA .
regardless of what you personally think of KD that was a real nice thing to say that he wasn’t pressured into
As a thunder fan I'll always be grateful for the kd russ harden days even tho it hurt when they all left

Its only the players that show russ respect and i love it. Clowns on social media brainwashed by the media be the ones hatin
Same same 🫡
I’m the clown, I hated on him for so long and now I’m going to watch him flourish with the Nuggets
No one really hates Russ, we just disappointed that he didn’t win a ring when he had many chances
I saw this interview. Grown man type-ish!!! He even shouted out his teammate Beal! Classy move KD 💪🏾

Everybody had great post game interviews. Kept about the sport past, present, and future.
He’s matured a lot since his burner twitter days😂
