KD On Signing With The GSW

Goldie

Kobe With The Pivot
Site Owner
At that time in my career, I didn't know how other people felt about my game. And I knew that I was pretty damn good and I knew I worked extremely hard, but I needed that validation from my peers and teams and GMs, people that are really into the game, to really help me feel good about myself and help me feel confident and let me know that what I was doing was working.

So when they all came, and they all put stuff to the side to come to the meeting, I was like, man, this is amazing. Best team in the league, some of the best players, most accomplished players want me on their team and want what I do, what I bring to the table. It was pretty cool, you know what I'm saying?

Because I'm looking at this whole basketball thing from a kid's perspective. I'm still excited, I'm still learning. So to have that much love in the room for how I play basketball, that's cool. They'll get to know me as a person, I was confident with that. But the basketball side, I was, like, man it's pretty damn cool that people enjoy the way I play and want me to play with them.
 
i wanna know your thoughts tho

was the nigga raised by a man? any man?
it was alot of nigga around when he won...was they around when he was small? or a youngin?

to me this doesnt validate him......he went to an already great team.

thats like adding another tomato to tomato soup and thinking it makes a difference outside of quantity.

what validates a man is doing it on his own with very little help and his eagerness to want to make himself a winner
 
nigga is like adding a sound system to a bentley.

i mean....it sounds nice...but people like the over all car.

insecure ass nigga....he too good to be out here drake-ing
 
the only thing i dont like about KD now is taking discounts

tax them crackas
he dont want to rock the boat.

what if they dont give him his offer?

then he will leave an go where? to a team he actually have to play hard for?

the discount is for rings.....thats why they tarnished
 
KD decision was much bigger than basketball.

KD, Klay and Steph getting that real silicon valley money which is why they don't give a fuck about long term max contract basketball deals. That shit is small money compared to the moves they really making.

KD just said in an article how often he meets with people from google and other venture capitalist firms and how much easier it is for him to meet with them during the season playing for golden state instead playing for someone else when most of the time he would have to have those meetings in the off-season.
 
That’s regular

Who don’t want validation of their work? Especially from those in the same field as you.

LBJ and Kobe chased a ghost their whole career seeking individual validation in a team game. There’s so many good players in the league who don’t get the coverage cause the media is fixated on one guy.

The media drives narrative so they can shape the way we see the game/players. Cleveland had 20 offensive boards game 1 but all we “know” is LBJ ain’t have enough help

No man is above the next but people believe in superheroes, that’s why the public will reject statements like this exposing vulnerability. That’s why LBJ is god and and can drag this narrative of doing it alone. Niggas need a hero.

It’s why they hate that this team can run it back 4 straight times to the finals but applaud an individual being there 8 straight. When outsiders drive narrative, I imagine it feels good to be in a room full of your peers exchanging pleasantries
so how do you know you can fight if you always need to roll with 30 niggas who jump people?

aint about being a superhero...its about proving something to yourself.

At least you posted one fact
 
so you just gonna skip over the dmv shit?

typical

Address the DMV shit for what.

I'm not one of those people who on that DMV shit. I will die going by how I was raised you either from DC, MD or VA. To me the DMV means what it always did DEPARTMENT OF MOTOR VEHICLES.

Besides that fake ass bullshitting people come from everywhere. You ran into some fake ass people. They very well could be fake ass people but have you looked at it from the standpoint of that may have been your fault cause your energy and vibe attracted those types of people?
 
So basically he had low self esteem about his game and they made him feel good about himself...yeah that solidifies it as a hoe move
