if the warriors win right at the championship without katie without katie do katie's rings
matter no no talk to me i mean i don't know if they don't matter but diminishes the greatness
if mj sat out for a year and then the bulls won the championship, is MJ still the GOAT?
That's a good point.
The fact that he lost those two years, I think we're massive.
Yeah.
They made it to the conference semifinals, which I think says a lot about Pittman.
Sure.
We underrate that.
Sure.
But if they won the whole thing, if they beat Houston in seven.
Yeah.
What difference is Michael Jordan and and the Warriors aren't
they're they're undefeated since Kevin Durant went down yeah that's a huge hit he has if they
win without him he has to go to New York so that's that's the next question is if they win without him, the only way he can maintain his legacy
is if he leaves and replicates.
Yes.
Because right now,
he's had the conversation around him,
which is he's the best player playing right now.
That's happened a lot.
Best player in the league.
Best player in the league, right?
I don't know if you can still say.
And can you still...
Is he the best player in the league,
or is he just a really good player on an already amazing team that they've decided to
have the game flow through yes and i think if steph wins it without him we go maybe kd is not
the best player maybe playing with steph makes everybody on a team great let me also say this i
i am openly a steph hater and I hate KD going to the Warriors.
So, like, I'm going to have my biases.
I also need to say this.
All the shit I talked about Steph in the playoffs, he is making everybody like me eat our words.
Yes.
He is fucking wow.
Yes.
I mean, he looks like man on fire.
Like, this is, y'all have forgot yeah what we wore before this
guy i feel like there's a mission with him but if he wins if they win it all kd can not stay cannot
say and those rings that he won i mean look they're still rings but like and this is a crazy
thing to say but are you kenny smith whoa wow i know it's disrespectful right but like you had the kenny and
him both had the advantage of going to teams that were really good and you played a role on those
teams no doubt but they had one before you and if steph wins they win without you so you are not
necessary for a win two with you two without you imagine that two with you two without you. So you are not necessary for a win. Two with you, two without you.
Imagine that.
Two with you, two without you.
Think about that.
Everybody take that in.
Two with you, two without you.
That means that they didn't need you.
You needed them.
Yes.
Wow.
Well said.
Yeah.
If, again, hypothetical,
but the fact that they are dominating teams,
we're not talking about easy wins.
Right.
This is dominant wins here.
And Steph being the best player on the court,
playing 47 minutes a game,
is KD really there so Steph doesn't have to play 47 minutes?
KD was just there so they could beat LeBron.
And now that LeBron and the Cavs aren't a threat anymore,
we don't need you. You are
younger Andre Iguodala.
Whoa. We needed you
to take out LeBron. Whoa.
Listen,
a guy as sensitive as KD and a guy who's
on Twitter as much as KD and a guy who's on Instagram
as much as KD
has got to have processed this.
Oh.
Has got to have thought about this.
I think it's killing him.
Destroying him.
That there's not even
Destroying him.
Not even the commentary.
Like he's watching them
win without him
and I think he knows
what's coming
and he knows what's being said
about him.
He knows what's going to be said
about him
and it's eating away at him
and there is no
fucking way
he will stay
if they win it all without him.
Or he,
I mean,
if he does,
he's an absolute,
like,
you're a loser.
Like,
you're not a loser,
but we're never gonna look
at you historically.
We can't.
We can't.
So you're KD, right?
Do you play in the finals
or do you rest up?
Hold on,
wait a minute.
Now you're just,
now you're contributing a lot.
I don't know.
No,
I'm kidding.
Why don't you just
take that bread in your hand,
okay?
Make a bun out of it.
Okay, I'm sorry No
No
Ed and Gonzalez everybody
No joke
Alex just grabbed the mic with his tongue
To take it away from Ed
And son that shit was unreal bro
I can't believe you did that shit
Yo what were you going to say?
Motherfucker look like venom.
So from what you guys were saying now, right?
So if you're KD, do you play during
these finals or do you rest up? Son, if I'm KD,
I try to get in those
finals as much as I possibly could because
my reputation is dependent on it.
Facts. You know what I mean? Maybe.
Close, close, close.
Maybe like at the first sign of trouble
I'm in there
And I come to the rescue
Selfishly
But like even if they're winning
Even if they won two games
I need to get in there
Because if I'm not playing
If I don't play at all in the finals
And they win without me
History will write my story as a useless player in terms of those two rings
that I won.
But if they're up 2-0, I guess history will still,
as long as you contribute to the championship, it will matter.
And remember, this is going to be on the road, those first two games.
This is the first time they haven't had home court in the finals.
Yeah.
So if the Warriors win the first two on the road,
I am telling you if I am the you, if I am the motherfucker,
if I'm KD, if I'm his manager, if I'm his agent, if I'm anybody that cares about him at all,
I am trying to find ways to get in that game.
I don't care if I come off the bench.
I don't care if I play 15 minutes.
I need to contribute to this championship because if I don't,
they will say that these rings would have been won without me.
And I just, like everybody's always said, hopped on the bandwagon
and got what was theirs.
Will it matter if they lose
or if they win by less when he
gets in the game or if they lose a game or two
when he's in there? Let's say they're up 2-0.
If he comes back and they lose? And they lose a game?
Holy shit.
I mean, holy shit.
I don't know. To me, I
think this is making Katie's job to leave a lot easier.
Wait.
Win or lose.
Win or lose.
You know what I mean?
I mean, like, the fact that they're just fine without him,
I think he's in a no-win situation when he comes back.
Did you just put in retainers?
No, they've been in the whole time.
Oh, okay.
Sorry, just trying to swallow some spit.
I think he's in a no-win situation if he comes back or not.
Because if they win by a lot, that's all right.
Yeah, well, of course.
You're supposed to do that.
But if they either lose by a couple or they lose a game or they're not as dominant,
it's going to look like they're going to look at maybe they're better without you.
Maybe they don't need you.
And, you know, it makes the job easier for him to leave that much simpler.
And if I'm the Knicksicks i hope they win without him
because he can't go to a stacked team like i would be if i'm kd at that point i'd be like get me kemba
don't get me kairi because i need to be the undisputed alpha dog of this fucking team and we
will win and i need to be the guy unquestioned kairi will question i already think it's better
to build a team with kevinant and Kemba than Kevin Durant
and Kyrie.
But if I'm Kevin Durant, I'd be like, I don't want no motherfuckers out here acting like
they're one beat.
He needs to be the only one with a ring.
Yeah.
He needs to be the only one with a ring, maybe a vet, but not a guy like Kyrie who could
say, no, I've been here.
I've taken it.
I've hit big shots in the finals.
Yeah, that's my only drawback.
That's my only drawback.
So this could potentially be the best scenario for the Knicks.
Of course.
Now be careful about getting hopeful.
No, I don't want to get too old, but imagine, obviously, like you said,
it makes it easier for KD to leave, but it also makes it easier for KD to go,
hey, I don't want Kyrie because I'm not going to have a repeat of what
happened in Golden State where a point guard has taken all the glory that
should be mine.
I need Kemba.
I think the Knicks are in the best-case scenario right now.
I think because the fact that they didn't get Zion.
Because if KD and Kemba Kyrie come to the Knicks and you get Zion Williamson
and he's not developing at the pace that you expect him to,
he's getting the LeBron comparisons, he's getting the Barkley comparisons,
and he's not getting those touches that he's going to get in New Orleans
or Memphis or wherever he would have ended up at,
you got R.J. Barrett, who's the perfect complementary guy.
At his peak, you know what I'm saying?
At his peak, is he ever going to be better than KD?
Probably not.
Is he ever going to be better than Kyrie or Kemba?
Probably not.
He might get close.
He might get close.
But Zion?
Zion's that once-in-a-generation dude.
So if I'm the Knicks, I'm happy with the Warriors winning without KD,
sweeping through the Blazers,
probably going to sweep through the Eastern Conference winner
or whatever like that.
I'm happy, bro.
I am in a good mood.
KD to the Knicks is feeling more realistic by the day.
KD cannot.
He's tweeting.
He's getting real spicy with the clapbacks like Chris Broussard
with the motherfucking.
I'm so happy to see that.
I love it.
And I don't dislike Chris Broussard, but all these insiders who act like they're homies with the players.
I feel this way about Stephen A.
I find that shit annoying.
To be fair.
And if we can put up the tweet.
To be fair, Broussard responded.
And he said, you know, and he's an old head.
So he was like, Instagram DMs, whatever, texting, it's all the same thing.
So I guess he was trying to clear up the fact that when he's talking about,
oh, me and KD text for hours.
We've talked for hours.
He's basically saying we've slid in each other's DMs and talked.
Talking for hours over DM could be four messages.
Yeah.
And KD pulling the whole semantics thing with like,
all right,
like,
don't act like you haven't spoken.
Like if he says,
yo,
you don't have your number.
Yeah,
you're right.
He doesn't have your number.
I was screenshot.
But bro,
I was screenshot.
Bro.
So K,
the quote from Chris Broussard,
KD and I have a love hate relationship.
We've texted for two,
three hours straight
about life,
basketball,
media,
faith.
KD has gone at me much harder privately.
We make a living critiquing athletes.
It would be hypocritical of us to not be able to take it.
Katie responds.
Texted is perfect.
Yeah, DMs are texts.
Katie responds, cap, cap, cap, cap.
You don't have my number, man.
But DMs are texts.
That's the same shit.
Sure.
And it's kind of messed up.
Katie knows what he's doing.
Katie knows what he's doing by shitting on a guy like that
like kind of making him
seem like unreputable
so you do think
they have spoken
for hours on end
I think so
I think they've spoken
thorough conversations
I think both could be right
I think
there's
a world where
Chris Broussard
doesn't have KD's number
and maybe he's exaggerating
a little bit
I think there's a world
where Chris Broussard
has DM'd KD for a while
and they've gone back and forth
like we've all noticed that it's not'd KD for a while and they've gone back and forth.
We've all noticed that it's not above KD
to be on Twitter
at all hours of the day
talking to whoever.
So I think they can both be right.
KD will respond
to anybody's DMs.
Yeah.
I think there's truth
on both sides.
But for the sake of the Knicks,
fuck Chris Broussard.
And I'll fuck Chris Broussard, man.
If you're KD... I'll fuck Chris Broussard, but fuck Chris Broussard I'll fuck Chris Broussard
But fuck Chris Broussard
Yo Chris Broussard's nice bro
I've heard he can hoop
He's a bucket
He's an actual bucket
No fucking lies here
I've hooped with Chris Broussard
I've seen him give people the work
Would he beat you one on one?
Would he beat me one on one?
It'd be a good game It'd be a good game.
It'd be a good game.
It'd be a good game.
I'm not going to hold you.
The dude can shoot.
He's not somebody
who's just going to drive all the time.
He has a nice little pull-up.
He's got some range and shit.
I'm like, okay, Chris,
I'm sorry.
Get your buckets.
But yeah, no, he can go.
So I know you guys
have been waiting for this.
Oh, man.
I know you guys
have been waiting for this story
and I know we teased it.
I was going to say it was baited for us. Yeah, it yeah okay i think it only be right if we tell this story in the baby emoji or the baby uh
snapchat filter in the baby snapchat no no no no obviously but uh okay so here's the story and
again there's nothing redeeming about this story listen there is nothing funny about this story it is as awful as awful can get so
but i will tell you guys the story and we will go with it as we oh boy hit me
