Is that Dinwiddie dominating early?

Great video! Easy to see who the superstar is., KD. Isaiah looks lik he knows what he is doing. . Still a step behind. Doesn’t move his feet on second move from his man ending up with poor spacing but he’s working at it. Evan still making it look easy., couple knocked down open shots ,couple of blocks, good looks. passes , and sloppy to’s

Yep. Mike James is playing too. Isaiah Mobley seems a lot more comfortable playing with his brother than what we saw in Summer league.

Hope he takes the next step or two offensively this year

Man if he can learn from kd to tighten up his dribble and stroke the ball.

KD is just unstoppable. Mobley was all over him. He’s the only player in the league that’s getting those shots off and hitting them that consistently over Mobley.

It’s too bad his reputation has been sullied because he’s absolutely special to watch.

His rep was sullied because he made horrible career choices. If he goes back to GS it’s legacy killing.
He should stay in Brooklyn, tell them to move Kyrie, get Simmons back on the court and fill out the roster. Make a run.

I’m sure it’s that easy.

I’m thinking from Durant’s point of view, he just doesn’t really care that people think this about his legacy.

When you look at Durant’s record on stats.com or whatever the equivalent is in 20 years, he’s going to have the same 2+ gold circles next to his name in the playoffs category. Will our kids know how he got them? Will they care if we complain how he got them?

He loves playing basketball. He has generational wealth. He’s a top 10 player of all time.

This generation of players is part of a generation that gets traded like crazy and that jumps ship for greener pastures too. They don’t have loyalty to franchises because the franchises don’t have loyalty to them. It’s the same as corporate environments.

He has embraced the villain role for years now. Any decisions he makes will be to win, not for legacy, whatever that means to fans.

That block is typical of his minimalist, in-control approach to blocking shots. Notice that immediately after blocking that shot, his momentum already is moving backwards into a good defensive position.

He doesn't go for the highlight block, or the swat into the second row. Just very purposeful and in control. Honestly looks a ton like Bill Russell in terms of technique.

Franchises don't have loyalty? If I'm the dude getting a guaranteed $200 million deal, that's all the "loyalty" I'm gonna need. JFC.

These guys don't get traded unless they want to get traded. They run the fucking show.
