You know what’s funny about this entire narrative? The Warriors going to get KD wasn’t some “we gotta link to beat Bron” thing.
1. The series went 7 games AND came down to the final possessions without KD. If Draymond doesn’t get suspended it’s probably over in 5, maybe 6 games.
2. Everyone knew this massive TV deal was coming in 2016 including KD which is why he didn’t sign the extension with the Thunder. KD going to the Warriors was a real possibility either way. Losing honestly solidified it.
Isiah Thomas:
“Wemby has been the victim of some of the dirtiest sh*t ever. I mean, people are grabbing and holding him... they're lucky he hasn't turned around and popped one of them in the face real quick.”

Darius Acuff talks defense and guarding his matchup with Draymond
“You can ask any of my coaches in college, no matter how many defensive mistakes I made every night, if they tried to put me on a 2 or a 3, I'm like 'man I'm not guarding no 3, I play the point man, I'm guarding the point guard man' especially if it's like a matchup... like if I'm not guarding you and you not guarding me, it ain't no matchup, we just hooping out here so I definitely like to guard my matchup.”
Why is the individual who promoted that "Straight Black Men are the White People of Black People" bullshit opening her trap to say anything this young Black man?
These videos are always hilarious. My first $22m guaranteed didn’t make me feel great, and then the next $18m signing bonus didn’t either. Oh I was also getting a bunch of endorsement money around this time too but I’m not going to mention that. Until my base salary started being $10m a year or more in year 6, THAT is when I felt like I was doing it right. Like come on, $50m (before taxes, we have to remember that only athletes get taxed and don’t make their full salary 🙄) didn’t get you juiced, had to wait until you made $700,000+ a week?
I was so in love that I ignored every warning. My family tried to tell me. Even his ex tried to tell me. Matter of fact, she made a whole song about it, and I still convinced myself that what we had was real. I just feel hurt, disappointed, and honestly, I need some time. 💔
