WOJ: Warriors serious threat to sign Kevin Durant

[Ben Simmons]

Dude has spent years reading/hearing shit like this from old topics:












We had a topic on Skip Bayless in Durants MVP season saying Wade(at the time), Kobe(at the time), Harden, and Damian Lilliard were better in his eyes....and when people were astonished...he asked what KD had won to differentiate him from those players. He and Lilliard were equally ringless he said...so its a fair comparison.

People wil lliterally act like you arent great....due to not having a ring. They wont evaluate your game. Wont credit you for anything of significance.

Ringless.....not that great. We beat it into these people day and night...is it a wonder they start to see rings as a measuring stick and not their ability?

We dont seem to give a shit about basketball....why try to prove yourself by playing basketball well?

We can watch you play it as well as top 10-15 all timers ever did then call you top 70...

as I said he doesn't care anymore. just wants the rings. and half the people so outraged have nobody to blame but themselves because they are the ones who have been pushing this argument that nothing matters except the ring count.

you try to boil basketball down into how many titles a player has this is the kind of shit we end up with.

Players who want to win no matter what because a huge segment of the population at like they suck until they do

Well said. Look many times we have heard "2-4" before this year's finals...or "Kobe will never get his 6th ring to match Jordan".

Now there's people with their "LeBron has 3 but not Kobe's 5".

Since I'm a Warriors fan I am very happy about his signing, but people are indeed ridiculous when it comes to the "all or nothing, rings are everything" mentality.
