@snowass6187 4 года назад

ESPN didnt advertise this, but in the 4th quarter of games 2 and 3 (no one played game 1’s cuz it was a blowout going into the 4th) of the 2017 finals KD averaged 11 points, Kyrie averaged 6, u averaged 5, and lebron averaged 4 points

@snowass6187 4 года назад

ESPN didnt advertise the 4th quarter stats cuz they dont want people to know and criticize lebron for it, they want to make it seem like the 2011 one was a one time thing. thats the only way lebron can still stay in the convo with Kobe (cuz if lebron didnt choke away the 2011 and 2017 rings he would be tied with Kobe). its all ratings.. and thats why KD said he doesnt trust the media by the way..

@animelytical8354 4 года назад

Not really. What do you think the media's agenda is? The Knicks are a massive franchise (for some reason) with no star and that specifically said they were creating space for contracts the size of KD's and Kyrie's. Their agenda in a lot of this coverage is to highlight Dolan's errors and the damage he is doing (in a lot of their opinions)

@_itsJV 4 года назад

@@animelytical8354 I guess. But most of the media was making it seem like KD going to the Knicks was a bigger possibility than it really was. So the media was stirring all this up with no foundation really. They got a good amount of people trying to "convince" KD to go to the Knicks, but you can't really convince the guy to ink something he doesn't want.

@eddiesneeh4266 4 года назад

but if you follow the explanation, it wasn't the altercation per se, it was what transpired, the consequences. The media, especially in the Bay Area, started hounding KD every single day about free agency, they started gossiping about him and speculating about what he's going to do every single day and in the middle of the playoff run, and that's what ticked KD off more than the altercation itself. The altercation with Draymond opened up the door for lots of headaches for KD, and he's the type of person who just wants peace but at the same time he can't tolerate inaccurate reports about him. I despise the media, they're parasites.

@@eddiesneeh4266 Brother why do you think draymond got upset at him in the first place and they had the altercation. durant was rumored to be leaving and draymond called him out on it. why draymond thinks he owned kevin like some slave master is beyond me. draymond knew the warriors would be done without kd as they were getting older. with kd golden state would've still had 1-2 more rings green was being greedy not realizing kd had to leave and win somewhere else b/c the warriors would always say they could win without kd b/c they did, but unless kd left he could never say that

@AR-rn8ok 4 года назад

KD yelled at Draymond after draymond made the right play at the end of the game. Later Dray called him out for being fake about being 100% with the team. I see KD instigated everything, and Dray got punished for reacting because kd was more valuable to the warriors at that point. KD a diva. KD hurt. KD in his feeling all the time. KD never happy and always complaining on burner accounts.
