This whole era of NO DEFENSE, NO PHYSICALITY is weak AS! Every record, stat, number and ring has a asterisk on it because these players were allowed to do it without having to do it against REAL defense. Facts!

I respect KD there’s no doubt he’s an all time great player. KD should direct his energy that he has for Chuck towards Kyrie though. Kyrie is holding the team back not Chuck. So KD looks foolish arguing with his critics. Just prove your critics wrong on the court but that starts with leading your current team. He hasn’t done a good job of that so far because he is the bus driver on the Nets but he is allowing the bus aid to give directions. KD needs to address that instead of Chuck, Skip, Shannon, and Stephen A.

Nothing wrong with that…….

Totally disagree with Charles totally disagree with this gentleman speaking it was definitely Kevin Durant driving the bus no registration year before record 70 something and they lost to a Lebron team nothing else said

What was the comment they said when Jordan and they talked about the 72 wins and the warriors came out with more wins and Don’t mean a thing unless you got that ring they recruited Kevin Durant enough said

Is this a lot simpler than you guys are making this. Maybe I’m missing something but it sounds to me that both Charles and yourselves are right. I think what Charles meant was until KD is leading a team he built or to follow the analogy, the owner of the bus and led/drove then he won’t be considered that guy. His only mistake is he conflated bus driver/leader with the owner. I think chuck is talking more about the owner and the driver. KD is the bus driver wherever he goes but I guess he has yet to buy a bus and drive it successfully. He has driven other peoples buses successfully but not his own and I think that’s what chuck is referring to.

JJ is wrong and Barkley is right. Curry won before, during, and after KD. That’s FACTS. KD has not proven he’s great without Curry, Curry has proven that before and after KD

KD SHOULD HAVE WON 6 OR MORE TITLES WITH GOLDEN STATE.

We are suppose to act like Lebron did not position himself in favorable situations for each of his TITLES?

Why should KD not take advantage of his talent like everyone else? Lebron pulled all stars from multiple teams to win. I see ABSOLUTELY no reason KD should have ever left GOLDEN STATE!

As an individual, yes KD is great. Some people saying KD don’t need a championship to prove his greatness is just giving an excuse coming out of an underperformer. By going to an already performed team with a Leader, KD performed great as a Follower. Not hate to KD but love Chef Curry. 🙂

You can look pretty in the passenger seat.
You can also put up nice stats (1:30) when wide-open and facing zero pressure.
KD parked the GSW bus (Steph’s bus).
Tony Parker parked the SAS bus (Duncan’s bus).

(2:00) JJ Redick ≈ “The stowaway passenger had a pretty statline. He must’ve captained the ship.”

KD, you make millions by going to practice, constantly traveling, and putting your body on the line. Barkley makes millions by making fun of fat women and falling asleep on the job.

Kd wouldn’t have anything without Steph. Steph gave him the keys. What has he done otherwise? Before or after!
