The point is OKC wasn't far off beating Golden State. Golden State wasn't far off beating the Cavs. Draymond had to miss a game and game 7 was as close as it gets. Literally one shot with Ky. So KD joining the Warriors would be if Bron joined the Celtics with KG, Pierce and Ray Allen. KD was weak for that move. It is that it is.
Draymond was weak for calling KD, Klay, Steph Dray and management was weak for goin to recruit KD to join them, but somehow you can only take fault with KD.. weak shit😂
@@dontaerussell3397Lol, so you just want them to ignore getting someone that would take them over the top. For what exactly? Fairness. KD is the chump because he chose to go to the team that bitched him the year previous.
@@vonyewestYes because he fucking lost a 3-1 to them. Curry was also the best player since he took most of the defensive attention letting KD work off of 1 on 1’s. Now does it make sense? You don't go and join the team that just beat you especially when you were up 3-1 and choked that 3 games with the Thunder.
Gil, Unc come on man. The same way you sayin steph won the 1st ring cause “the soldiers were hurt” is the EXACT SAME as Steph only lost in the finals cause “they suspended Dray”
Yeah then why not run it back is what he’s saying they went calling for kd.. I think that’s all he’s saying they knew cavs had their number and just wanted be miles above.. i think that’s what a lot of you guys in the comments aren’t getting.. if cavs recruited someone then yea but they had the same team so why get kd if they felt superior? (Steph is great btw but that ain’t the argument and stating facts ain’t taking nothing from curry) they would of 3peat if klay and kd didn’t go down part of the game.
True but also K Love didn’t play the WHOLE series and Ky only played 1 GAME. Dray missed 1 GAME because of HIS FAULT. They could’ve closed game 7 AT HOME WITH DRAYMOND (who had a fantastic game 7). It’s just different context.
Nobody ever says that. But they do say Steph and Dray went to KD. Lebron haters never say, "well, Wade called Bron." Never ever. It's always Bron created a super team. Sounds like Wade created the super team.
Do you understand the context? The Heat lost vs the Celtics, Wade already had a ring. The Warriors lost to Bron and called KD after the game. Wade called Bron because he wanted to win again, not to beat the team that beat him.
Honestly gil really hates Steph and the warriors at this point… I don’t get the statement he’s trying to make…. Kd wanted to go to the warriors and the warriors wanted kd it’s just simple… you guys are conveniently forgetting draymond green got suspended and iggy and Andrew bogut got injured…. If you’re saying Steph beat an injured cavs team then lebron beat an injured warriors team.
Not to mention Steph hobbling on that knee! Remember he couldn’t play in those Olympics because that knee was fucked up!! PERIOD!!! McCants was supposed to ride harder against GIl and not bitch up!! Gil was hating and dead wrong! Steph was the best player( before ya try to argue it he was the Unanimous MVP) and rushed back on a grade 2 MCL !!I Or Lebron, it Wasn’t KD… Steph could barely move laterally that whole playoffs!! His efficiency during those 2016 playoff games gives this away!! Keep it 100!! I’ll never respect Lebron after he cried to the NBA for a stimulus package to suspend Draymond!!!!!!!

Thing I hate about these debates is it always leads to diminishing one player in favor of the other. Steph has accomplished more without KD, but why tear down KD? He is a regular season MVP and a two time finals MVP in his championship wins. But then again, I guess we gotta have spicy arguments where people yell over each other lol
@gr33nl4nt3rn The boy Quitter Arenas is jealous of Steph after every big Curry moment he comes up with bullshht hypotheticals and the same KD Steph legacy debate to get his shht off Im pretty sure his son's favorite player is 30 and him being the narcissist he is that drives him crazy so here we are once again. THey literally have talked about this at least 30 times since this show started I knew after Steph stole the Olympic show they was gonna be on his helmet
KD didnt go there and never would've because he was a victim of Lebron's superteams. Had he gone to the Cavs, who were already a superteam right after they won it would've been even worse for him.
KD was showing his ass that whole offseason. he had meetings with tom brady, big poppy, al horford cause the celtics was recruting too. so was the spurs. so was the clippers. i think the only team he didnt meet with was the Lakers and the Cavs. dude made a choice. Gill need to stop acting like the Warriors made KD come.
@@vintagemonteThat’s what u do when you want a top 3 player in the NBA to know ur serious about wanting him to join, at the end of the day KD has the final day and they can’t make him do anything he doesn’t want to do 😉
@@Traylormade_Chief So? I'm supposed to just sit and let my team get worse? It's not Golden State's fault that the Cavs didn't make moves to get better and prepare for the repeat. At the end of the day, they lost Harrison Barnes and the best small forward was available on the market
@@Traylormade_Chiefwhat does that have to do with a franchise trying to get better in the offseason? They ain’t allowed to do that because the Cavs didn’t make any moves? wtf is the logic here
What a nonsense argument Gil made, the aim of EVERY team is to do better than they did last year. The Warriors went out and got the BEST option...it so happened to be KD. That's not on the Warriors.. KD wanted to join the best option. It so happened to be the Warriors. If the team could've gotten LeBron the following year they would've done it.
Also I believe the warriors that year would've won with another player at a high rate that year like kwahi or anyway all star if the whole thing was locking down juuusssttt LeBron then go get a defensive player period.. Bruce Bowen would've been able to hold down enuff and do his job to stop LeBron is gna get his points period. But if u can shut down 10 stops thru out the game, enuff, to be enuff to get its team points in those 10 possessions that's all that really matters.. right? I dig mccants side I don't agree with gils narrative I understand both.. but gil forgot I guess that Golden state won another championship without kd after he left n won 2 before he even got there...
The biggest false narrative is the assumption that the Cavs were just so unbeatable and the Warriors had no chance of beating them. Gil sounds like LeBron didn’t play the first 4 games of the series. KD move is weak asf bc in ANY year a top 3 player joining the Finals loser makes them a powerhouse and uncompetitive. A move like that gets ZERO respect (as a champion)
Just okc of russ and kd and those warriors have chance to beat that cavs team, literally those cavs teams have a lot of stars and elite players but lebron has always downgraded great players when he plays with them
@@ernestmcdonald6736 and people failed to remember that during game 5 Golden State lost Bougut (Defense, Rebounding, Screen setting) for the rest of the Series. Iggy had back spasms after game 5, and Steph was at 70% from the knee injury. That lifeline The NBA gave by suspending Dre was all LeBron needed to fuel the comeback.
Rashad needs to learn how to take a loss and he needs to stop bringing Lebron up when he's making a losing point because it isn't helping; the Heat lost in the first round the year before Lebron came to Miami, the Warriors lost in the Finals and Lebron didn't lose to the Heat, KD lost to the Warriors. And comparing the 3rd best player on the Celtics going to Miami to the best player on the Thunder going to Golden State is a TERRIBLE comparison.
The point is why didn’t LeBron stay on his team n figured it out…that’s the point!..if you’re a top 10 player of all-time…why would you team up with all-stars?🤔!….LeBron shoulda figured it out!..
U are one of the dummies they was talking about thinking u know more than a nba player. They understand what it mean, Gil saying it's bullshit. Which it is
@@DurhamBull919 ts% combines your normal fg% and weighs your 3p% and ft% into one stat, I forgot the equation but you can google it . Usually someone is a very efficient and highly effective shooter and shot maker if it’s above 65%. It favors people who shoot triples more and have high ft%. It’s really a pointless stat: it demonizes people who don’t shoot triples as much or people who can’t get to the line. So unless you’re a star player who’s a guard, this stat most likely never leans in your favor. Efg% is better. I don’t think ft% should ever be factored in with fg% because one you’re being guarded and one you’re not.
Kd wasn't weak for going to GSW. Stephen A reported thatckd wanted to go to GSW in the beginning of that season. Only reason it looked bad was cuz he & russ choked against them. He was always going to that team if he didnt win a title. People gotta remember EVERYONE was saying GSW wasn't that good the summer b4 & they got lucky against the cavs
@@Justjo3223 nobody was saying the warriors wasn’t that good.. and nobody knew KD was going to the warriors before the season. Thats fuckin cap.. yall tryna rewrite history lol
@mikemcfly1980 you can look it up Stephen A said it on air early in the season just like Doc rivers was quoted saying the warriors got lucky cuz they didn't have to play the spurs or the clippers
@@mikemcfly1980Yes pple did say GSW were not good & that they got lucky. I remember an interview of #30 saying we are sorry for being healthy, for playing whoever was infront of us, for winning & we gonna rectify that. The next season they started off 24-0
Gil talking BS if he was a GM and didn't take a chance to sign a top 3 player without having to lose anyone on that team. He would never have a GM job again. Gil putting this like these conversations weren't happening throughout the year. KD has been on 3-4 super teams and only won at GSW, how is he the big brother?
In the situation he is the big brother because he is the second best player in the league at the time and they wanted his help even though they were 73-9 and had a 3-1 lead .. so technically he is the saviour.. just stating that just how people call kd weak you can say the same about the warriors.. have to listen to understand instead of reply.
@@shockwave2376 he wasn't their saviour, he was their greatest luxury. People seem to forget that Andrew bogurt DNP with injury, Iggy was injured, Green was suspended. GSW choked no doubt but healthy they were clearly the better TEAM. Its been obvious so far the Curry saved KD legacy as much as KD helped Curry's legacy. He is a 2 time Champ because of Curry. GSW did what every organisation did that year that was attempted to get the 2nd best player in the league. That's just good business. Also I'm not calling KD weak he was a free agent, he earnt that right to go where he wanted.
@@TsMexi_ you listing off all the reasons they lost.. so why they ain’t run it back if they believed they just lost because of injury or people being suspended ain’t no way to defend being up 3-1 and losing with a 73-9 team.. it ain’t hard to see they called kd because they weren’t sure they could beat a healthy cavs.. so mentioning all the injuries or whatever proving my point if that’s why they lost run it back with the same team..that’s what the cavs were doing.. the weakness in the move was mutual.. I respect all those guys legacies don’t mean I have to avoid speaking facts.
@@shockwave2376 you do realise Cav ran it back cause the didn't have a choice? They were capped. You and others saying GSW should never have attempted to get KD has to be the dumbest take ever.

And a business telling an applicant we can't hire you because you are to good for us, we will pay someone else the same money who's half as good. Competitive balance is a myth in every sport.
@@TsMexi_ I think what I’m saying is floating over your head top my guy.. they were 73-9 I ain’t bashing them but it’s a fact if you feel like you lost because injury then simply run it back.. but fk all that.. my point is the move was weak on both ends.. it was a rivalry brewing and they got scared and got kd.. idk why you ain’t grasping that? Maybe u think I’m shitting on them but I ain’t but warriors were weak for offering considering they had the best team ever in history and kd was weak for accepting.. do I think it was a dumb move? No nobody ever said it was dumb just weak so I don’t really understand your argument bro.
100 percent. Steph will be looked at as a game changer of the league. KD great player but will be remembered for joining the warriors and proving he can't lead a team to a chip.

JOSIAH, we need Gil to be real and respond to this: Lakers and LeBron were recruiting the best player at the time in 2019 Kawhi Leonard fresh off a NBA chip and finals MVP. Just cause Kawhi said nah, doesn’t means it wasn’t a weak and desperate move from lakers and Bron. Stop picking and choosing and moving goalposts
What weak and desperate about trying to build the best team possible? That's actually Rob Pelinka 's damn job. And that's what you want your best player to do. Why don't you people understand THIS IS A FUCKING BUSINESS?!!!
@@rasheedakues7373that’s irrelevant, they saying that KD shouldn’t had that hate because it was the 73-9 warriors that went to KD to join them. They were saying they the best team so why not run it back same team instead of going to KD
I hate the KD vs Steph debate when all the facts are right in front of us yet people still be capping hard af. Its really simple math. Steph has won 2 with KD and 2 without. KD hasnt won anything without Steph. The two times he won without KD they didnt even have a superteam as it was just Steph and two really good role players. KD has had multiple teams with mutliple mvps and havent got out the 2nd round in the weaker eastern conference. Also the two years they won a ring together Ty Lou said the gameplan was to double Steph with a whole ass KD on the court...now tell me after reading all of that how that was KD team or that KD was ever better than Steph. Mfs just wake up and choose to hate like bozos.
You're missing some facts. Steph beat Lebron in the finals when Lebron had an injured team. Steph the following year faces a somewhat healthy Cavs team and becomes the first superstar to blow a 3-1 lead in the finals. Steph then recruited KD in the offseason for Lebron when Lebron was at his peak. Steph did not need KD for Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown because he recruited KD for Lebron. KD's had 2 teams since the Warriors. The only player who ACTUALLY was awarded an MVP by the time KD played with him post-Warriors was James Harden. Harden was injured in the playoffs against the Bucks and Giannis injured Kyrie. KD most likely wins in 2021 if his team was healthy. Following that season, major coaching staff changes and drama happens. But of course omit that to make KD seem worse. Ty Lue chose to use a dumb defensive strategy and paid for it. What's your point? lmao
Rich Paul shoulda left this to LeBron. The fact your trying to protect his image from joining a 4th team is admitting going to leaving Cleveland to go Miami, going back to Cleveland, then to the Lakers, all that team hopping as a bad move. You can’t admit that ever.
People say that stupid shit. Who really cares what people say? Golden State wouldn't give a damn. They'd gladly accept the two rings that would come from a LeBron and Steph pairing. They'd definitely accept the ticket sales that would accompany that pairing. Ultimately, that team hopping narrative doesn't apply to the guy who leads every team he goes to in points, rebounds, and assists. Especially when that player leads the team to a championship. Rich should've stayed out of it. But not for the reason you mentioned.
@@marcomcdowell8861 and led all those teams in damn near everything. And was FMVP in every title run. He's LeBron James. They're gonna hate no matter what. Rich Paul should know better.

The whole problem with Gil's argument is that it assumes that GSW thought they could not win without KD. It hinges upon that assumption. There is no reason to believe that GSW could not beat the Cavs without KD. The Cavs were not that scary.
The cavs figured them out they knew they wasn’t gonna beat them full strength they wasn’t supposed to win that first finals they played they almost lost to just 1 guy😭
They…. Couldn’t….. that’s why they went and got kd 🤣 the warriors were monsters but lebron and kyrie figured them out. The warriors would be retarded to run it back against a team that walked them down 3-1 in the finals. Kd another dynamic to that team that bron and kyrie couldn’t handle
@@N14. Let's see what figured them out looks like, the cavs lost 3 of 4 games by double digit blowouts with Kyrie and Love who were not there the previous year. In game 5 Draymond did not play Bougut (the rim protector) did not play the last 3 games because of a knee injury, the best defender on LeBron Iggy hurt his back, all the games that the Cavs won were last second shot tight games that could have gone either way, here goes the big if, if none of those things happened, the Warriors would have 3 peated,

I've never seen someone defend the KD move to the Warriors before. I thought it was universally seen as a weak move. Guess some people are cool with making superteams for easy rings. Dirk's one ring is worth more than all of KD's

No Gil, an organization will never be labelled as weak for going after superstar players in order to win championships but a superstar player is usually labelled weak when he literally chooses to go to a team where the chances of winning is very high. I am not saying it is right or wrong but that is what has been happening. So Shad is not saying that KD is weak but if there's someone that has to be called weak it has to be KD. The legacy of the warriors will never be tainted because they added KD but KD's legacy is definitely tainted because he joined the warrionrs to win championships. Now, does it matter to him that a lot of people think what he did was a weak move? only he can answer that.
They forgot , what sold it was That game winner in OKC Steph hit as KD watched from the bench, Draymonds pitch that year in the finals was “you’ll get the most space you ever had in your career” and the result was 2 finals mvps.. since then KD Has maintained A Finals MVP type of game just no pieces to assist in his journey for another championship
Nobody has any logic on this topic....the reason KD gets more hate it's bc he went to the team tht beat him...the job of a team is to improve esp after a lost.
KD gets more hate because he was so good that he made the Warriors nigh-unstoppable. Not because he joined the team that beat him. People like to act like they hate the move because it wasnt competitive, but if people really cared about players being competitive, they'd hate the Warriors just as much. Because the Warriors (as in the players) recruited KD when they should've just ran it back as they were. The team shouldnt be improving by adding a top 2 player when they have the unanimous MVP.
@@smoothsavage2870 a teams job is to improve every yr esp if u lost but win or lose. The cavs office went after KD too even after winning 2016.

@@aiii5932 Even Then It’s No Debate. Steph Was A B2B MVP, Fresh Off 2 Championship Appearances, & He Embarrassed KD When They Played Head 2 Head… What Is There To Debate?
I’m so tired of this narrative. What actually happened was the warriors were recruiting KD during the season. If they won the chip or not they had every intention of getting KD for the next year. KD shouldn’t get garbage because he lost to them, he just wanted to play good ball. That’s literally it. Everyone leaving out they recruited him before they lost is easily the most annoying thing about this situation. It completely changes how everyone views the warriors and KD. Neither were weak, they were just smart.
KD still chose to go to the winningest team of all time that had just beat him. It doesn't matter what the Warriors were trying to do but the player who thought that's what he needed to win lol. He needed the best team of all time plus himself to win. That's how it comes across even in context of the Dubbs hopes and dreams.
@JrobAlmighty are you even reading he just clearly said they had already decided to bring kd to the warriors before they beat him. Was he supposed to change his mind because he lost to them lmao
The big brother example is so ass. How was kd is a big brother when gsw beat his ass. More like 2nd best cartel recruit the 3rd best cartel to beat the number 1 cartel which is lebro.
Idk about anybody else but I always talk about how weak that was when Golden State added Kevin Durant to a 73-9 team. And Durant going to the team he blew a 3-1 lead to was weak...they needed each other to beat a healthy Cavs team...they all took the easy way out

The point is OKC wasn't far off beating Golden State. Golden State wasn't far off beating the Cavs. Draymond had to miss a game and game 7 was as close as it gets. Literally one shot with Ky. So KD joining the Warriors would be if Bron joined the Celtics with KG, Pierce and Ray Allen. KD was weak for that move. It is that it is.
Draymond was weak for calling KD, Klay, Steph Dray and management was weak for goin to recruit KD to join them, but somehow you can only take fault with KD.. weak shit😂

@@vonyewestYes because he fucking lost a 3-1 to them. Curry was also the best player since he took most of the defensive attention letting KD work off of 1 on 1’s. Now does it make sense?

Gil, Unc come on man. The same way you sayin steph won the 1st ring cause “the soldiers were hurt” is the EXACT SAME as Steph only lost in the finals cause “they suspended Dray”
Yeah then why not run it back is what he’s saying they went calling for kd.. I think that’s all he’s saying they knew cavs had their number and just wanted be miles above.. i think that’s what a lot of you guys in the comments aren’t getting.. if cavs recruited someone then yea but they had the same team so why get kd if they felt superior? (Steph is great btw but that ain’t the argument and stating facts ain’t taking nothing from curry) they would of 3peat if klay and kd didn’t go down part of the game.
True but also K Love didn’t play the WHOLE series and Ky only played 1 GAME. Dray missed 1 GAME because of HIS FAULT. They could’ve closed game 7 AT HOME WITH DRAYMOND (who had a fantastic game 7). It’s just different context.

What a nonsense argument Gil made, the aim of EVERY team is to do better than they did last year. The Warriors went out and got the BEST option...it so happened to be KD. That's not on the Warriors.. KD wanted to join the best option. It so happened to be the Warriors. If the team could've gotten LeBron the following year they would've done it.
Also I believe the warriors that year would've won with another player at a high rate that year like kwahi or anyway all star if the whole thing was locking down juuusssttt LeBron then go get a defensive player period.. Bruce Bowen would've been able to hold down enuff and do his job to stop LeBron is gna get his points period. But if u can shut down 10 stops thru out the game, enuff, to be enuff to get its team points in those 10 possessions that's all that really matters.. right? I dig mccants side I don't agree with gils narrative I understand both.. but gil forgot I guess that Golden state won another championship without kd after he left n won 2 before he even got there...
Golden State decided to shoot their shot at the “baddest on the market” and it actually landed. Can’t be mad at them for that.
After losing ? Lmao yeah you can , weak ass move
That part! They mad they didn’t get picked up by a great team in their time playing.
The biggest false narrative is the assumption that the Cavs were just so unbeatable and the Warriors had no chance of beating them. Gil sounds like LeBron didn’t play the first 4 games of the series.
KD move is weak asf bc in ANY year a top 3 player joining the Finals loser makes them a powerhouse and uncompetitive. A move like that gets ZERO respect (as a champion)
Just okc of russ and kd and those warriors have chance to beat that cavs team, literally those cavs teams have a lot of stars and elite players but lebron has always downgraded great players when he plays with them

U are one of the dummies they was talking about thinking u know more than a nba player. They understand what it mean, Gil saying it's bullshit. Which it is
Ts% is not useful in a lot of scenarios. It’s an overused stat only by guys who don’t hoop. I have never brought up ts% in a hoop conversation.
This "stat" has always been around like the rest of them ? 🤔
@@DurhamBull919 ts% combines your normal fg% and weighs your 3p% and ft% into one stat, I forgot the equation but you can google it . Usually someone is a very efficient and highly effective shooter and shot maker if it’s above 65%. It favors people who shoot triples more and have high ft%. It’s really a pointless stat: it demonizes people who don’t shoot triples as much or people who can’t get to the line. So unless you’re a star player who’s a guard, this stat most likely never leans in your favor. Efg% is better. I don’t think ft% should ever be factored in with fg% because one you’re being guarded and one you’re not.

Gil talking BS if he was a GM and didn't take a chance to sign a top 3 player without having to lose anyone on that team. He would never have a GM job again. Gil putting this like these conversations weren't happening throughout the year. KD has been on 3-4 super teams and only won at GSW, how is he the big brother?
In the situation he is the big brother because he is the second best player in the league at the time and they wanted his help even though they were 73-9 and had a 3-1 lead .. so technically he is the saviour.. just stating that just how people call kd weak you can say the same about the warriors.. have to listen to understand instead of reply.
@@shockwave2376 he wasn't their saviour, he was their greatest luxury. People seem to forget that Andrew bogurt DNP with injury, Iggy was injured, Green was suspended.

@@TsMexi_ I think what I’m saying is floating over your head top my guy.. they were 73-9 I ain’t bashing them but it’s a fact if you feel like you lost because injury then simply run it back.. but fk all that.. my point is the move was weak on both ends.. it was a rivalry brewing and they got scared and got kd.. idk why you ain’t grasping that? Maybe u think I’m shitting on them but I ain’t but warriors were weak for offering considering they had the best team ever in history and kd was weak for accepting.. do I think it was a dumb move?

I hate the KD vs Steph debate when all the facts are right in front of us yet people still be capping hard af. Its really simple math. Steph has won 2 with KD and 2 without. KD hasnt won anything without Steph. The two times he won without KD they didnt even have a superteam as it was just Steph and two really good role players.
KD has had multiple teams with mutliple mvps and havent got out the 2nd round in the weaker eastern conference. Also the two years they won a ring together Ty Lou said the gameplan was to double Steph with a whole ass KD on the court...now tell me after reading all of that how that was KD team or that KD was ever better than Steph. Mfs just wake up and choose to hate like bozos.
You're missing some facts. Steph beat Lebron in the finals when Lebron had an injured team. Steph the following year faces a somewhat healthy Cavs team and becomes the first superstar to blow a 3-1 lead in the finals. Steph then recruited KD in the offseason for Lebron when Lebron was at his peak. Steph did not need KD for Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown because he recruited KD for Lebron.
KD's had 2 teams since the Warriors. The only player who ACTUALLY was awarded an MVP by the time KD played with him post-Warriors was James Harden. Harden was injured in the playoffs against the Bucks and Giannis injured Kyrie. KD most likely wins in 2021 if his team was healthy. Following that season, major coaching staff changes and drama happens. But of course omit that to make KD seem worse.
Ty Lue chose to use a dumb defensive strategy and paid for it. What's your point? lmao

Rich Paul shoulda left this to LeBron. The fact your trying to protect his image from joining a 4th team is admitting going to leaving Cleveland to go Miami, going back to Cleveland, then to the Lakers, all that team hopping as a bad move. You can’t admit that ever.
People say that stupid shit. Who really cares what people say? Golden State wouldn't give a damn. They'd gladly accept the two rings that would come from a LeBron and Steph pairing. They'd definitely accept the ticket sales that would accompany that pairing. Ultimately, that team hopping narrative doesn't apply to the guy who leads every team he goes to in points, rebounds, and assists. Especially when that player leads the team to a championship.

The whole problem with Gil's argument is that it assumes that GSW thought they could not win without KD. It hinges upon that assumption. There is no reason to believe that GSW could not beat the Cavs without KD. The Cavs were not that scary.

Dude they still reached out to him first hand like on some desperate shit the way draymond put it they knew what was up so shaad has a point but gil is right though
Wtf would KD go to a sorry ass team! Mofo if im the best I wanna play with the best! Foh
U dumb
@@myab1471 you just made, me n McCants point!..KD had a choice!…what Gil needs to understand is…when it comes to the sell point of Teams, to KD, the warriors would give him the best possible position to win!..so Yes, it would look bad on KD for making that choice, WHY? Cause he’s a top 10 player of all-time….n top 10 players Of all-time figure it out, they don’t go to 72-10 teams, or in this case 73 n 9….cause he could’ve went to the wizards!..but he went to a 73 n 9 team, it looks bad on him!..it does🤷♂️!..
@@myab1471KD was on a team that had the 73-9 warriors down 3 games to 1, Russ won mvp the year after, he could’ve won in OKC. LeBron with the rosters KD had before leaving for GS would have won a ring for sure.
I've never seen someone defend the KD move to the Warriors before. I thought it was universally seen as a weak move. Guess some people are cool with making superteams for easy rings. Dirk's one ring is worth more than all of KD's
Because it was just a business move and he wanted to win. Weak maybe but idgaf. I wanna go play with the best and win 😂. Call it a weak mentality, but it’s just business. Think about jobs nowadays. Ain’t nobody loyal. People wanna move on to the next best crew with better pay and better aspersions etc. 🤷♂️
@@rianeagan2693 The KD-move should absolutely have been vetoed. It ruined the league for years. There are some rules in place in the business world as well, to prevent a large corporation to dominate the markets too much. Both business and the NBA should be more strict in regulating these things.
@@penkima4923 I see what you’re saying. But also it wasn’t a trade. He was a free agent. Maybe a different situation then. The Chris Paul to Lakers was a TRADE that was vetoed lol
@@rianeagan2693 If it's not possible to veto a signing, it should be made possible.
The Warriors were so stacked that they didn't have cap space to sign KD without trading Andrew Bogut away. That trade should've been vetoed then.
@@penkima4923i agree
Rashad literally flipped his stance mid argument once he realized he was wrong
Every professional organizations job is to get better every single year. Whether they just won the Championship or if they're the worst team, their job is to improve the next year. If the Warriors beat the Cavs in 2016, I guarantee Warriors would have still gone after Durant.
Why wouldn’t you want kd if he’s available? This argument doesn’t make sense.
Because of integrity and competitiveness. As much as yall cry about KD ruining competition, yall act like you dont understand this point when it comes to the Warriors.
Don’t care for all the kd slander but it’s crazzyyyy saying GM’s should be blamed in the KD debate when that’s what their job is
When did they say the GMs should be blamed. They're specifically talking about the players arent they?
The players club Dolla bill reference had me rolling 😂😂
Didn’t the Lakers try to get Kawhi ? 😭🤣
Bron messed up the Lakers FA that year waiting on kawhis decision that led all the other good role players get signed by other teams leaving the Lakers without anything
That1!! Niggas cried a river about it not being fair broke us up and then was out here openly recruiting kawhi Leonard and KD AD sounds like LeStans want Bron with all the talent on his teams and nigga why y'all don't talk about Kyrie jumping from team to team but never winning shht look at last yrs finals he played terrible but they forever talking about Steph c'mon bro my nigga won with Andrew Wiggins lmao matter of fact didn't he make da all-star team that yr..

@@300GSW Kawhi never was or never will be the best player in the league 😭
@@xxtooshiestyxx8756 you think Lakers and Bron recruiting Kawhi after he won a chip and Finals MVP was a weak move? Yes or no?
Respects KMART showing love. True gentleman!
KD made it known that he was interested and willing to go to Golden State!
Gil had on the MJ jeans in that wiz pic 🤣😭😭😭 whole pic diabolical “them wasn’t yo shoes, put that was yo hat” 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Always comes back to LeBron. I knew there was no chance in a legacy debate of KD vs Steph that LeBron's name wouldn't come up.
By far, the best analogy, of pilots to players by Gil, that puts things in perspective for people who aren’t hoopers or athletes. Nice
In gils scenerio McCants beat up his big brother already so why would he call his brother to fight a fight he lost ? Thats a TERRIBLE analogy
Listen with two ears this time…
That airplane analogy was 🔥🔥🔥
The Player to Pilot analogy was high level 🔥
No Gil, an organization will never be labelled as weak for going after superstar players in order to win championships but a superstar player is usually labelled weak when he literally chooses to go to a team where the chances of winning is very high. I am not saying it is right or wrong but that is what has been happening. So Shad is not saying that KD is weak but if there's someone that has to be called weak it has to be KD. The legacy of the warriors will never be tainted because they added KD but KD's legacy is definitely tainted because he joined the warrionrs to win championships. Now, does it matter to him that a lot of people think what he did was a weak move? only he can answer that.
Golden State did in 2016 what the Clippers were doing in 2019. We knew they were recruiting KD all year
We saw Kerr and Bob talking with the him when he came to the Bay right after the game on the court 😂
They forgot , what sold it was That game winner in OKC Steph hit as KD watched from the bench, Draymonds pitch that year in the finals was “you’ll get the most space you ever had in your career” and the result was 2 finals mvps.. since then KD Has maintained A Finals MVP type of game just no pieces to assist in his journey for another championship
Great episode 😂😂
Nobody has any logic on this topic....the reason KD gets more hate it's bc he went to the team tht beat him...the job of a team is to improve esp after a lost.
KD gets more hate because he was so good that he made the Warriors nigh-unstoppable. Not because he joined the team that beat him. People like to act like they hate the move because it wasnt competitive, but if people really cared about players being competitive, they'd hate the Warriors just as much. Because the Warriors (as in the players) recruited KD when they should've just ran it back as they were. The team shouldnt be improving by adding a top 2 player when they have the unanimous MVP.
@@smoothsavage2870 a teams job is to improve every yr esp if u lost but win or lose. The cavs office went after KD too even after winning 2016. U chose to go to the team tht beat u, he could have went anywhere else if would have been ok n if gsw got anyone else ppl wouldn't have been mad which I agree with
This some good content..Gil was excellent.
Gilbert is paid off 😂 he coached bron son and now he’s sold his soul. Objextive and now making it seem like curry was scared of lebron 😂

or 2015 lol smh!..KD STILL haven’t won a chip without Steph smh!..idk what Gil talking about lol smh!..

Without KD there never is a warriors dynasty
Not true they coulda added other pieces and still won

@@KingKromah So big brother can only win when he has little brother with him and can’t beat little brother..
I’m so tired of this narrative. What actually happened was the warriors were recruiting KD during the season. If they won the chip or not they had every intention of getting KD for the next year. KD shouldn’t get garbage because he lost to them, he just wanted to play good ball. That’s literally it. Everyone leaving out they recruited him before they lost is easily the most annoying thing about this situation. It completely changes how everyone views the warriors and KD. Neither were weak, they were just smart.
Agreed!…
I agree. It's also funny that the league wouldn't let chris Paul team up with bron😂😂
True but it does affect KD legacy. He can never be above Steph
KD still chose to go to the winningest team of all time that had just beat him.
It doesn't matter what the Warriors were trying to do but the player who thought that's what he needed to win lol.
He needed the best team of all time plus himself to win. That's how it comes across even in context of the Dubbs hopes and dreams.
@JrobAlmighty are you even reading he just clearly said they had already decided to bring kd to the warriors before they beat him. Was he supposed to change his mind because he lost to them lmao
The arena either ERUPTS OR EXPLODES every episode we need another synonym man 🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂
Not going lie when Gil n Kmart on show wit mccants they always trying gang up on him no matter the topic
#hostileterritory
Cause he be wrong. Lol.
They might be going for the Stephen a vs skip format where someone has to take the other side of the debate
Man I been trying to put that pic of Kenyon up on the pod for months 😂😂😂😂😂thanks gil 😂😂😂😂😂
The big brother example is so ass. How was kd is a big brother when gsw beat his ass. More like 2nd best cartel recruit the 3rd best cartel to beat the number 1 cartel which is lebro.
Exactly Gil a 🤡
Gils GS take is brilliant!!
Nah it don't make any sense
One minute McCants say lebron weak for changing teams when he was a free agent but then throw all thst out the window when it come to kd smh
MCCANTS is the one criticizing Durant.....did you watch the video????
Idk about anybody else but I always talk about how weak that was when Golden State added Kevin Durant to a 73-9 team. And Durant going to the team he blew a 3-1 lead to was weak...they needed each other to beat a healthy Cavs team...they all took the easy way out
