Stephen Excuses Smith. What does kyrie have to do with KD putting the ball in the hoop? It wasn’t easy because Celtics were swarming. KD showed he needs that weight room

Not only wasn’t he not scoring, he was turning the ball over at an alarming rate

Thing about SAS, he equates offence with just scoring.

Luka doncic didn’t have a costar like Kevin Durant have in kyrie irving. Luka Doncic average more points, assists, and rebounds in this postseason and made it to the western conference finals.

So now it’s Nash fault for KD getting bullied smh ????♂️

Up until the end of the Olympics, yeah, Durant was murder. This year, he looked beat down, and they did nothing to get him in space, so yeah he was trying to create on his own ALL year (when he played). But he chose Kyrie, and they chose Steve Nash, and they chose that organization. Until I see KD balling out for 20 games in a row, Imma say Luka right now.

Stop this…Luka isn’t better than KD.
glo!
May 18, 2022 at 1:11 pm
I would pick Lebron, Curry, and Luka over KD offensively.

May 18, 2022 at 7:18 pm
Jokic?
glo!
May 18, 2022 at 7:53 pm
@kyle howe yes, Jokic too.

Healty he is probably top 3 at the end of a huge career a winning one, probably in the G.O.A.T debate, BUT health … and Luka magic has a history of health, what need to be done there, Better team a cast of stars not just role players.

It was amazing that KD got that team to the postseason with just 55games played. 36-19 8-19

After KDs choke job he still at tier a scorer because of his resume for now amongst Joel, Curry, LeBron, Jokic, and Giannis however due to his series he can’t be considered the best scorer nor top 5 in the NBA.

May 18, 2022 at 2:28 pm
This is a joke. The best OFFENSIVE players in the NBA RIGHT NOW are as follows…
1) Curry
2) Jokic
3) Doncic
4) Trae
And then there is a pretty big gap…

Luka has faaar better regular season and much much better playoff stats than Durant

Jokic belongs in this conversation but as usual espn disrespects and brings up irrelevant players like kd and kyrie

Stephen a needs to accept that his “best player in the world” got swept in the first round and stop making excuses, it’s pitiful

probably all time so why you question now. and why stephen asinine bring up donkyic? lol
