QRich and DMiles the truth... Nothing but positive vibes and str8 hoops talk. Loving seeing KD comfortable this year.. Huge fan when he was in OKC, but felt like he went a lil dark for a while. Good to see him happy and hopefully he knows real NBA heads recognise him as an All time great.

[@KDubb-ws9zc]

I still dislike the guy for that weak move to GD but even I recognize him as one of the all time greats

[@thetruth6454]

Preach✊🏾 💯

[@sc239]

@@KDubb-ws9zc I didnt like the move, but i think the KD we are seeing on court now is a result of him training with Steph and Klay so its all good. A lot of players act like they wouldnt do what KD did ONLY because they never got the option. That year there was a HUGE salary cap jump due to new TV deal. Steph, Klay and Draymond were all still on cheap rookie extentions and GS could just add KD at the max.

He isn't out the woods yet. They awaiting trial. It's federal so it's going to awhile. We can all think positively but they probably going to be guilty like the Clinton Portis situation. You can murder but don't mess with taxes or insurance. They coming for blood.

[@reeseangle9621]

Facts!

[@creydadj]

1:27 the games he’s talking about were from ‘12-30-2020 and 01-01-2021 respectively. Throughout the game he was guarded by Deandre Hunter, Cam Reddish and Solomon Hill so I’m guessing those were the 3 people that got their asses busted. BUT they did held their own in both games and scored between 15-25 pts.

[@aaronward9250]

Think it could be Kevin Huerter. I remember him talking on JJ Redicks pod and he was saying that KD bust his ass and it was his welcome to the league moment

[@creydadj]

@@aaronward9250 Huerter is a 4 year vet tho but he averaged 9 ppg for those two games
