>doesn't like playing in OKC
>leave
Well what is there to debate?

>Joins team that won the championship and broke the season record the following year
>The Servant ®

yo shut up

He didn't

He gave up $82 million. Bottom line, that's retarded.

This. I get the some people are ring > money but his ring will have an asterisk.
He joined a winning team and isn't even the best player on the team.

Yeah $82 million is guaranteed generational wealth.

"Happiness" comes from money. Not from "rings"

He will still have more money than he can spend but his rings won't be legitimate. Maybe he just wanted to live wherever golden state is.

No.

Also, "don't like it, don't X" is a logical fallacy.

Definitely. They look like they have so much fun together.

He looked like he was having fun with Westbrook too.

Yes, he did.

doesn't matter if he got payed 300 million to stay in OKC, he would still have to live in OKC.

Yeah but, would you rather have to duke it out with the Warriors every fucking Conference Finals and have to get through a really good Rockets and/or Spurs team just to have the opportunity and THEN have to fucking play Lebron.

Fuck that. At least if they lose to the Cavs now it's just because Lebron is an overwhelming athelete and Love/Irving both shot well the whole series.

Just like Rodman's rings?

Or 2 of Lebron's?

>giving up $82 million for the chance to win a gaudy piece of jewelry
>the race of africans

I should say that "Don't like it, don't watch." is perfectly fine if he's telling people to protest with their viewership instead of Twitter but wrong if he's still sensitive about joining a stacked team that beat him the year before.

Does Wade have both of those years' FMVPs now?

If he wins the chip, Nike will release a especial edition of KD9 and other stuff, some others brands would likely make tons of publicity with him. So he will get the money back.

But that isn't guaranteed.

That's still an "if", instead of "for sure".

And if he won in OKC, he would have $82 million more AND endorsements from a new shoe.

Where does this $82 million number come from?

but he would still be in OKC

having all the money in the world, but living in a shithole is still living in a shithole.

Here

sbnation.com/nba/2016/6/28/12050498/kevin-durant-contract-salary-money-nba-free-agent-rumors

With Warriors: $162.9 million over 5 years
With Thunder: $244.1 million over 6 years

DIFFERENCE: $81.2 million

>living in the bay area for 5 years
>living in a barren wasteland for 6 years

seems like Durant made the right move

but by population, the difference between SF (city) and OKC (city) is only 100,000

but what about taxes?

Rodman won with Detroit you mongoloid

>muh taxes

He's rich and obviously doesn't care. Living in california is much better than living in a flyover state.

California???

Are you trying to compare quality of life between Oklahoma City and the Bay Area??

Have you watched these playoffs at all? He's won entire games for GSW.

So there ISN'T a reason why most athletes live in Texas and Florida?

So there ISN'T a reason why states like Oklahoma and Texas are absorbing millions of Commiefornia refugees?

No, but the populations in the city propers are similar

This is the textbook example of a strawman argument. Kids, take note.

Oh, so what does "quality of life" have to do with this post It's about population. And OKC and SF aren't too different on that.

It's also about legacy, & being remembered.
Lebron did the same when he went to Miami, and if he gets a ring his future worth will only go up, not to mention the sponsorships.

>it's this retard again

>why states like Oklahoma and Texas

LMAO at slipping oklahoma in there. Flyover retard detected, you will never ever be Texas tier

okc

sf

Cemented himself as a bad guy forever. 100% wrong decision

On balance, living in a bin is preferable to living anywhere in Commiefornia. In fact you would probably be better off, your only danger would be when the antifascists are in a bad mood.

>most athletes live in Texas and Florida?
They don't.

>Nike will release a especial edition of KD9 and other stuff
I would buy it tbqhwyfam, it sure is better that that BBB shit

Looking at the developed area, OKC looks almost as large as SF.

SF looks like its next to a shitload of farmland, which isnt different than OKC

So this proves that you're stuffed into a disgustingly small space unless you grow gills and live in the water? Nice ''argument''

>So there ISN'T a reason why most athletes live in Texas and Florida?

Most athletes are from Texas and Florida due to a huge sports culture and a high population of knee grows.

>So there ISN'T a reason why states like Oklahoma and Texas are absorbing millions of Commiefornia refugees?

Yes because California is basically a playground for the rich. It's unaffordable even for people making $75-$100,000. Also a large part of that influx is people who weren't born in California moving there to become famous celebrities. When they realize they're poor and not the special snowflake they thought they were they move back to the flyover they came from.

2 pictures without context.
no argument

>it's another "basement-dwelling NEETS argue about the (((night life))) of two cities they've never set foot in" episode

>(((night life)))
These are air quotes now?

FUCK DURANT.

>clearly happier with his life
>near guaranteed championship(s)
>lives in a nicer area
Of course he made the right decision for himself

Rodman was traded to the Bulls from the Spurs, and he won a ring in Detroit.

>highers taxes, degeneracy and homosexuality rampant on the streets, brainwashed liberals that breath smog every day, rampant homelessness and one of the worst housing markets in the US. being invaded by Chinks who're buying up all the houses and the ones that can't afford them are crowding the streets in ghetto rat holes like their homeland

>nicer area

still beats living in OKC

back to your containment board, faggot

yeah durant lives in a 250k suburban bungalow and has to take the bus to work

is he quoting Shakespeare?

>being this much of a cuck

>homosexuality rampant on the streets,
lol

If he doesn't win the finals this year then hell no

OKC is literally north Texas.

You know nothing.

bay area > oklahoma

friendly teammates > shitty bitchy teammates

Warriors > Thunder

nuff said

he done good

By this argument then KD was the cancer since he was literally the only teammate that ever bitched to anyone.
Literally all he does is bitch to the media about every little thing and can't handle any criticism and feels like he has to comment on everything happening in the news.

Still does, and he still says dumb things he later has to apologize for.

No one on the Thunder ever talked shit to the media about or talked at all, Warriors talk shit about everyone and everything and act like the most privileged cucks in the NBA.

>already made $130 million not counting endorsements
>about to 5-peat and make another $160 million while living in SF
and you think he gives a single fuck about that 80mil?

KD wanted to invest on startups. Those 82 million would have come handy desu

>Literally all (you do) is bitch to the (Sup Forums forum) about every little thing and can't handle any criticism and feels like (you have) to comment on everything happening in the news.

Pottery

good thing he lives in silicon valley now and has $300 million

>Lebron did the same
He didn't go to the team that beat him the conference finals. If he went to the Celtics it would be the same. He went to Miami to beat the Celtics. Why is this so hard for people to understand?

>You need to live in the Bayvarea to invest on a startup

look at these mental gymnastics to avoid the fact that lebron conspired with two top 10 players to form a super team.
even better since he lost in the finals and jumped ship to the cavs as soon as they stocked up on #1 picks and wade's knees disappeared

Its not the same. Durant did a "if you can't beat em join em"

>it's not advantageous to live surrounded by investors and companies in the startup center of the world if you want to invest in startups

>as soon as they stocked up on #1 picks and wade's knees disappeared
the reason they stocked up number 1 picks is because they were absolute trash without him. without Durant OKC still makes the playoffs. LeBron left the worst team for a good team. Durant left a good team for the greatest team of all time. Stop desperately trying to force this comparison.

lebron couldn't beat them, so he joined up and made a better team
you should really say it's not the same because durant's going to go 5/5 with the warriors instead of 2/4

yeah they were trash so they got a bunch of number 1 picks and then lebron came running back. he has handcrafted his own superteams and been to the finals with no competition in the east for how many years now?

>Its not the same. Durant did a "if you can't beat em join em"

It's not even 'if you can't beat 'em, join 'em', because OKC had all the tools to beat GS in one more year, but that's only if OKC's front-office and management wasn't dogshit from top to bottom.

It's literally KD leaving that shithole OKC, after giving 9 years to an organization that consistently pissed away talent and never made a single honest effort build a championship caliber team.

Going to a team where he was able to share the basketball and compete with like-minded individuals who would rather sacrifice to win is a massive upgrade for KD.

Compared to this shitfest that was OKC letting Russ be a one-man show who ran himself into a wall until he literally broke a long-standing record, at the expensive of ever legitimately competing in the post-season.

LeBron could beat both the Heat and the Raptors. They joined him.
> lebron came running back
If he didn't come back he would be the villain. Now he's the hero. I'm not sure what you wanted him to do.

>he has handcrafted his own superteams
which is completely different than joining a 73 win team and riding their dicks to a ring. LeBron has always been the best player on his team

that's just lebron protecting his image. the narrative flipped and he's a hero because he miraculously won when the warriors choked last year.
everyone was dragging his legacy through the mud when he was down 3-1 though everyone likes to forget
lebron won't seem so impressive if he keeps losing to the warriors after this year

>who're

>Implying he has any clue about start ups
You hire a middle man to do the investment pal. Money>living in the Bay are if you want to invest

>which is completely different than joining a 73 win team

Yes. That's completely different since the aforementioned 73 win team was built properly through trades and draft, minus only Iggy, Durant and the few piece they had to replace, since they gut their bench for Durant; as opposed to teams being hand-picked like LeGM did with his posses in Miami and in Cleveland.

There's nothing you can complain about GS that doesn't make LeGM look worse, especially since he's been consistently either getting carried to championships or gifted all the talent for NOTHING.

I honestly never cared for Golden State, simply because the West has so many great teams that will probably never get their due, due to GS being as good as they are, but fuck Lebron and his cancerous stranglehold over the Eastern Conference and the retarded fucks who still, in 2017, try to justify his shit legacy; when it's painfully obvious said legacy was manufactured by Adam Silver.

i can't believe you think you're making a good point lol

>that's just lebron protecting his image
which is the opposite of durant ruining his. thanks for proving how its not the same.
I'm not reading all this reditt shit

How is living in the region help him more than an extra 82M $?

Seems like he really took the hardest road. What a hero.

What fucking card game is this nigga playing?

>Yes. That's completely different since the aforementioned 73 win team was built properly through trades and draft, minus only Iggy, Durant and the few piece they had to replace, since they gut their bench for Durant; as opposed to teams being hand-picked like LeGM did with his posses in Miami and in Cleveland.
What point are you trying to make?

>especially since he's been consistently either getting carried to championships or gifted all the talent for NOTHING.
I, too, enjoy making up false narratives to make a point.

>and the retarded fucks who still, in 2017, try to justify his shit legacy; when it's painfully obvious said legacy was manufactured by Adam Silver.
And I'm not entertaining script-talk.

You think it's easy to come by $82 million? Like it'll pop out of mid air?

That might be the difference between bankruptcy or not

Durants legacy will now be that he took a massive pay cut to win rings with a team that he personally helped blow a 3-1 lead against.
He ruined his legacy as soon as made such a bitch move

durant made $60 million dollars last year from endorsements and contracts.
$60 million in one year while playing in the desolate shithole of OKC and not winning anything in 10 years.
yes i think it's easy for him to come by $82mill

you only think lebron is a god and durant is a snake because you're still living in 2016.
who's going to respect lebron when kd and curry send him home in the finals for the rest of his career?
how are you going to talk shit when kd goes from no rings to 5?

KD is a bitch

KD is a Bitch

KD GOAT

You know you're a bitch when Dirk makes it further than you did in your NBA career.

Dirk had a team of scrubs beside Kidd and he finally won it all in 2011. Mind you, it was against KD, Harden, and Westchimp all on the same team.

This ring (if he gets it) will always be over shadowed by his 2012 year when they got destroyed by the Miami Heat.

Dirk hasn't been relevant since 2011. He's actually been completely forgotten despite still being in the league

Thanks, Cuban.

1 question


What is the best place in the United States, for someone who only likes soccer, and is a fan and follower of Major League Soccer (MLS)?

assuming he wins no rings
>better city
>better team chemistry
>better team
>not struggling with westbrook, lets be honest it was not going to happen
durant literally does better when the offense isnt just DURANT SHOOTS or WESTBROOK SHOOTS

LeBron
Garnett
Allen
Gasol
Shaq
So many people moved to get a ring and people only bitch about KD

Seattle
