If both Kobe and Steph avg 28-30 pts every game to go along with Shaq and KD avg 30 plus why do the fans care who finals mvp is everybody literally ballin 😂
All these things can be true in the Draymond Green-Austin Rivers situation:
- Rivers was incredible in High School and College, he was better than Green during that portion of his career
- Green had a substantially better career than Rivers as a pro
- Green is lucky to have been drafted by the Warriors
- The Warriors were lucky to have Green too
- Green is an all-time great defender and worthy of the Hall of Fame
- Rivers had a long career because he was a very talented basketball player, not because of his dad
- Green’s numbers probably would have been better if Steve Kerr called plays for him
- It wasn’t in the Warriors best interest for Steve Kerr to call plays for Green
- Basketball needs both of them to analyze the game, not each other
The notion that Koa Peat somehow hurt his draft stock with this answer shows me that so many are missing the point…
Basketball is what he does. It’s not who he is.
His purpose is not to hear at the end of his life “Well done good basketball player”… He desires to love God, make Him known and hear “Well done good and faithful servant”.
NBA front offices want great basketball players who produce, are good brand builders, teammates, and trustworthy on and off the court.
Christians are called to do everything with excellence, including playing sports, for the glory of God.
He’s not saying he doesn’t want to work hard or doesn’t care about basketball. He’s simply saying that, as a Christian, loving God and spreading the Gospel is his TRUE purpose.
His identity is in Christ, not basketball.
