[@2cents250]

@@lazym91they respect him. They recognize how talented he is. They speak of his willingness to help other young players like Banchero, Cam, Bol Bol etc. Ant certainly respects. Curry respects him. You don’t want to workout with someone in the off season if you don’t respect him. You are invited to play for the Olympics if they don’t respect you.

[@Bigl1230x]

Yea, the slander is wack but I get it. OKC was the next team up and coming, and he left to join a 73 win team. Then flexed after he won 2 chips like him and Bron was on the same level. Just rubbed everyone wrong.

[@kalmaii]

1.drew Holliday 2.steph curry 3. Jason Tatum 4. LeBron james 5. Joel embid Since kd is out for this Canada game, Tatum gets the nod. Surround Steph with defenders. Everybody in this starting lineup can shoot drive iso and create plays for teammates. Give LeBron the draymond green roll playing point forward and we got ourselves a starting lineup

[@cliffordthebigreddawg8088]

If Kawhi was there would you put him in over Jrue?

[@kalmaii]

@cliffordthebigreddawg8088 absolutely not. That would make too many ball dominant players in 1 lineup. Mess up chemistry. That's why USA made Melo come off the bench every Olympics because your cannot start Durant, kobe, LeBron, and Melo all at once. They all want and need the ball in their hands. Just like kahwaii needs the ball in order for him to be effective on offense. Dru doesn't need the ball. He just a lockdown defender

[@drift6785]

Bro they put Booker in.... didn't make sense to me

[@kalmaii]

@drift6785 Steve Kerr thought booker could be klay. But in international play, defense is actually played unlike the NBA

[@moneymoney3235]

@@tobyakbar225 who cares in a weaker leauge on the best team with the best coach. You guys really talk like Mike ever did anything when he wasn’t on the best team. He always had the best defenders in the nba on his team. Ron Harper, pippen, Rodman. Bulls got a lot of them old pistons championship players. Bill russel won 11 in 13 years beating WILT. wilt would dominate mj. One thing forsure is Mj never lead both finals teams in points, assist, steals, blocks, AND rebounds. Only the greatest can do that. Mike never beat the most winning team ever and the best shooters to ever touch a basketball.

[@moneymoney3235]

@@tobyakbar225 Mike retired because his SUPERTEAM and best coach in the nba was getting broken up so he quit again. We seen Bron win in 3 different organizations which is much harder than what mj did. When u tell me mjs toughest finals competition was the jazz? With Rodman and pippen that is wild. Stockton not even a scorer and Malone an inside scorer. Bron played 3 guys who will shoot from the logo pull-up at any second with klay, Durant and curry….
