Why couldn't they succeed together?
>>157345494because crops needed to be picked before they rotted
kd aint lebron
>>157345494What’s go super about them?
>>157345494Harden is a career loser and so is Durant when he doesn't have a 73-win team to join.
The Thunder made the decision to pick Ibaka over Harden. This was a strange decision at the time, people questioned it. Looking back it's one of the most horrible decisions a GM has ever made.
Because KD is a bitch, there's a whole documentary about ithttps://youtu.be/vtE3_voC3qU
>>157345494James Harden was too short
>>157345494The eternal One Ball Problem.
>>157345700This really was an all-time fuck up by Presti, who's got a good reputation as a GM otherwise. Love them or hate them, Durant, Westbrook, and Harden are probably all going to be Hall of Famers. Meanwhile I haven't even heard someone say Ibaka's name in more than a decade.Harden wasn't even all that much more expensive than Ibaka in the end, as I recall when the trades and contracts finally shook out. They absolutely could have afforded to keep Harden over Ibaka.
>>157345678Looking at James Harden then and now. He's the Drunken Master of Basketball
>>157345700Ibaka made sense because he was a great defenderPeople forget that before Curry/Thompson/Green won a championship the model of the NBA was to avoid threes and try to get away from defenders when shooting, not shoot threes and try to draw a defender in for easy FTs
>>157345494Location desu. Seattle is a liberal hellhole, but it has more of a night life and better quality of life than the literal dust bowl.
>>157346281The Flaming Lips weren't Nirvana or Hendrix but they lasted longer and have some solid stuffAlso Seattle is just a miserable fuck nightlife of miserable fucks, I don't think many NBA players are like "oh shit, an Post-Folk Punk Band doing a Gordon Gano Tribute Show at an art gallery featuring a Performance Artist is covering herself in paint and throwing her body at giant canvasses These are pro athletes, they just want a strip club with girls with cool tattoos and big tits and asses or something. Maybe every once in a while you get a guy like Walton or possibly Wemby who legitimately wants that Nightlife and Culture. But most pro athletes are fine with a sexy latina with a cool tattoo on her ass
>>157346371idk durant is literally a twitter troll and harden had an old high-skill white man who smokes cigarettes game they were pretty seattle
>>157346408True, but Westbrook woulda been a Zestier Elle Woods in the new miniseries where High School Elle is exiled to Mid-90s Seattle.
>>157345494it would help a lot if ur starting point guard didnt go 3/22 from 3 in the finals
Their role-players sucked. You need at least 7 dudes that play unselfish BB and commit to defense.
>>157345494KD: Stat padded his way to an MVP. Couldn't win a ring without Steph. Had a terrible career post-WarriorsWestbrick: Stat padded his way to an MVP. Couldn't be a championship caliber 1st, 2nd, 3rd option or 6th man. Not a winning playerHarden: Stat padded his way to an MVP. Manipulated the rules to become a scoring champion and popularized stepback 3's. Once the rules changed to penalize his antics he became trash. Habitual playoff choker. Not a championship caliber 1st, 2nd or 3rd option.The reason why they didn't win together was because they are all overrated trash
Harden's game rely of getting fouls. They call the playoffs differently than the regular 82. That's why he sucks in post-season.
This got to be one of the most pathetic thread I've ever seen on this board'hey retarded wigger give us your genius take on why these 3 brotha millionaires fucked shit up'>retarded wigger gives his take unironically
>>157354492Post your team.
>>157345494>winning with westbrickimpossible. ballhog chucker who cares more about himself than the teamalso lil b cursed KD
>>157354595>doesn't win shit in OKC>goes to Lil B's favorite team>Lil B lifts the curse>wins two rings>leaves Lil B's favorite team>doesn't win shit in Brooklyn, Phoenix, or HoustonLil B really did control his destiny.
