reality is to win a title, we needed a 1 guy. That's Durant. Booker now becomes not just a great 2, but an ALL-TIME second banana. That's not shade at Book. It speaks to how awesome a healthy KD is.
KD has 65 forty+ point games. And he has 358 games with 30+ out of 978 games. So once every 2.7 games he goes for 30 or more. For his entire career. I believe bridges has 3 or 4 in 370 career games. So he gets one every 92 to 123 games.
Top-20 all time. I think if he gets another ring, then yes I can see an argument. But I can understand if you put him top 10 based on skillset. But his only championships were on a super team with another top-10 player and another top 5 all-time shooter and great defender in Draymond.
30 point games on a semi regular basis, sure, recently he became our number 2 option for the first time in his career.
Book is a 1B. He was first team All-NBA last year and had two 40 balls in the Finals. We didn’t lose because he wasn’t great. Now you can say he isn’t the best 1 of all-time but that was also his first playoff appearance because he was on trash teams lol.
I get the impression the team may be less “fun” but more business. Payne and Ayton are likely the last goofballs left. Paul, book, KD about that ring.
I am not sure there really was much to change about this locker room. CP3, Book, and the rest have been pretty focused. Maybe he can have an impact on DA.
Agreed. I thought about putting parenthesis on the first two (couple teams more or less even), but you caught my drift exactly.
