PKβs Cognitive Dissonance is INSANEEEEEEEE 16:31 how are you going to put the responsibility on LeBron to be successful and then in the same breath when asked about your ineptitude to get a championship blaming the front office for not putting the right team together miss me with that mess

itβs not all about rings but how you lose is also keyβ¦ greats go out swinging unless they old
Edit: how you win matters too as well as being entertaining like Cus told Tysonβ¦

I agree with mad dog. Kevin Durant is SPOILED. He wants to play where he wants to play, that’s the problem with today’s NBA. NBA stands for NOT BASKETBALL ANYMORE. If I was the Phoenix Suns, I would trade Kevin to the worst team out there. If he doesn’t like it, hell retire. He can be replaced. He always wanted to play for a super team. He’s only GREAT IN THE OLYMPICS. Because he has 10 super stars around him. That’s why he went to Golden State. Like Charles Barkley said, Kevin is a bus rider, NOT A BUS DRIVER. I’m sick of him
