Is there anything more satisfying than watching KD eat shit?

mans won his two first championships and was disappointed that no one in the media cared


his own teammate said we dont need you :roll:

[Kblaze8855]

He has a weird online presence but that aside I wouldn’t say he’s especially annoying. I don’t have any evidence he’s just a jerk. He’s said to be just a basketball junkie who smokes a lot of weed. Plenty of people easier to hate. He doesn’t seem to be out to hurt anyone or talk too crazy.

Whats the worst thing we know he did? Request a trade? That’s a looooooong list to be on.

[StrongLurk]

KD is more likeable than Chris Paul and Devin Booker...by a decent margin too.

Still a snake though.

ive seen him act very distant and unlikeable in press conferences for years

no accountability and awareness

no competitive spirit

constantly team hops to an absurd extent, that teams constantly threaten to be OP for the league but luckily injuries, coaching mismanagement or his own leadership and game style failures get in the way

tells other people to leave their team to excuse his ways:

cant take any jokes (peyton at the awards)

just generally cringe, type of dude to do that weird clapping thing when he gets trash taked.

i dont see much to like tbh

[Kblaze8855]

What did Booker do? I don’t remember.

[ArbitraryWater]

just seems to be pretty arrogant i guess


and him trolling the mavs got him a good badge of negative attention once they got rolled off the floor in game 7

[tontoz]

Resigning for 4 years then demading a trade/demanding the coach and GM get fired before that deal even started was lame. If you don't like it there dont resign.

[red1]

god I hate all of the teams this guy's played on since okc


ruined the league for a few years with the warriors


teamed up with kyrie and harden on the hated nets


and now plays with book and cp3 who no one likes




very easy to hate on.

This is exactly it.

KD wants to play basketball. He doesnt want the pressure of leadership and he doesnt want to have to worry about what other guys on the team are doing. He wants to score, put up numbers, win games, and go home. When shit gets tough, he leaves for another super team because he thinks it will allow him to just do his thing and let everyone else worry about the team.

Thats fine when you go to Golden State and you are just the icing on the cake, but not so great when your teammates either dont want to lead (kyrie) or doesnt have the patience for everyone's bullshit (Harden).

In theory, the Suns have leadership in Chris Paul, but he is half the player he was 2 years ago. This team is top heavy and not really that super.

But I STILL like him a hell of a lot more than Chris Paul. CP is a dirty, scummy little bitch that flops like a fish and takes cheap shots anytime he gets a little cranky. I cant believe he was elected president of the player's association.

Booker isnt really dirty, but he is really ****ing whiney and Luka exposed him for being a front runner.

[CurryOverLebron]

So you dislike Durant for not being competitive enough and switching teams but dislike Booker for being too competitive which is why stars are joining him and not the other way around. Notice Lebron joined more competitive Wade and Kyrie but AD lacked competitiveness to force Lebron to join him in New Orleans which is why both of them joined Lakers so neither one would look more alpha than the other.

[Mask the Embiid]

Watching jokic fans fumble around for a analytics chart after embiid kicks his shit in. is the only thing that is better

[bison]

I feel like the whole villain/snake persona has worn off over the years since he left GSW. People still hate on him for joining stacked teams but looking at this Phoenix team I really wouldn’t call them stacked. Teaming together multiple ball dominant superstars has been a losing formula for a while now. And his online presence is funny to me. I like that he makes himself available to random anonymous Twitter accounts. Doesn’t give off stuck up sports celebrity vibes.

[imdaman99]

Lord knows I miss him and Westbrook being a tandem, where Russ was the evil dude preventing them from winning rings. But he dug his own social media grave. He's a millionaire and can bang whoever he wants. He's winning in life. I don't feel any better trolling him while he's 'down'.

You literally just described LeBron James

lol I wanted to say this. The rest of the post is also pretty spot on. Its true there is not much to like, although in a vacuum hes the most aesthetically pleasing player to watch. But there are many other players that are much more irritating. Watching Harden, Wesbrick, Draymond, Booker eat shit gives much more satisfaction for example.

[ImKobe]

OP is still upset that KD humiliated Bran in the Finals.

[ArbitraryWater]

Is there?

Dont think so.

Iso scorers need playmakers.

[Manny98]

Seeing Embiid and Harden choke a 3-2 would be even more satisfying for me

Imagine if a street artist drew an insulting charicature of Lou Williams, and that cartoon Lou Williams impregnated Littlefoot from the Land Before Time = Cam Payne dinosaur lookin a$$

Also, EASILY way more satisfying watching Westbrick phony DL batty bwoy a$$ eat sh!t. I don’t get the KD hate. Just because he has a boring personality and a 3rd world haircut/beard, and isn’t a natural leader… none of that is worthy of hate. He’s just a boring chill dude who can score at an all time clip. No hate warrantee besides chasing a fake ring a little bit.

I explained it pretty cleary in post 5


Most notably his attempts at disrupting the NBA by short-cutting to stacked teams

i dont see much to like tbhI don’t disagree with him being distant in press conferences. That definitely speaks to him being a heavier stoner than most would think. But I don’t necessarily HATE unemotional, disinterested press conferences. I don’t like Belichick but his post game are great lol.

I agree that he doesn’t show much outward competitive spirit. Part of that is he just has an ugly, inexpressive face, and small, inexpressive eyes. Again, I don’t “hate” his disinterested outer persona. Not optimal for a superstar player at all, but he was never gonna be super marketable anyways, due to being so ugly frankly.

He did team hop quite a bit and demanding trades and such, this is the part about most real heads can never respect.

I’ll take another look at that burner account thing and the other article… I recall that happening but didn’t cause me to hate him and wish him losses.

I’m no stranger to enjoying some Mf Schaddenfreude … I notoriously despise Westbrick, Chris Small, Jerry Krause, Mark Jackson, Kenny Smith, Adam Silver, Isaiah Thomas, David Stern, and enjoy any of them MF getting sh!t on, losing embarrassingly, or dying in a fire.

Edit:
The burner account thing is all good by me, because he was using the burner to criticize Westbrick, who undoubtedly has always been the problem, damn near everywhere he played. Westbrick style is maddening to anyone with an IQ higher than 90.
