There’s always an excuse…KD is the common denominator in all of these high power offensive teams that are favoured in the media then never win. The truth is, you don’t like Giannis because he doesn’t play the style of basketball that draws attention, he’s goofy and he plays in a small market and you don’t like Jokic, because he’s a skinny fat European with a stoic personality, who is changing his position the way Steph did. The media wants KD to be a thing, likewise Tatum, because they desperately want an American a top that player pyramid.
There’s nothing profound about this, it’s not because of CP3, that’s not the reason KD missed open shots in 3 consecutive first 15 minutes of games. You underestimated the one seed, because their superstar player doesn’t fit the media mold of what makes a superstar. The nuggets have been top of the west all year, the only reason they haven’t taken off sooner was injuries in the post season. They are a well oiled machine who saw the Boston blueprint of being physical with KD on defence and did just that. They have the best player in the sport, or 1B at worst and a host of great role players around him. KD meanwhile for as talented as he is, is not a top 3 player anymore. He’s not top 5 in the post season. We have a large enough sample size to prove that. The notion you put him on a team and they win a ring has never been the case.
I always love how when the Nuggets beat someone the narrative is "Oh, the other team choked." lol Jokic scores 53 and the headline is some stupid little non issue with the owner keeping the ball for too long out of bounds, not one word is spoken about how great of a performance that was…on the road. The sports media is a laughing stock. None of these people know anything of significance, they just know how to speak well and have a personality.
Did he honestly just say what's wrong with manipulation? I guess I should be surprised from a left wing, self centered, liberal divorced dude. It means you have low or no morals. Can't imagine someone arguing for why manipulation is actually okay. And your argument is "this other guy does it too". What a child.
IMO most of the KD haters are Lakers and LeBron fanboys that feel a nee dto defend him against KD for some reason. But consider this. When LeBron wasn't winning this year the narrative wasn't about LeBron, it was all about the supporting cast. And now they have a supporting cast the team is winning and LeBron profits from that even if he's not the driving force now. KD played perfectly fine considering all the attention he draws, which is more than even LeBron gets now, and The Suns supporting cast right now is way worse than even the Lakers early season supporting cast. So maybe it should be viewed the same way.
Jokic had 3 steals, one block, 10 rebounds last game and cowherd says “I have a refrigerator that defends better”, it’s bs that Jokic plays no defense.
KD, “the most efficient star in nba history”, shot the same percentage from 3 as lebron 😂
They gutted the team to get KD thinking he’d put them over the top, he did absolutely nothing to help this team. In fact, he made them worse defensively and forced them into more iso ball. The man got outplayed by Booker in these playoffs and wasn’t efficient
Wth is he talking bought obviously it didn’t work he shot a low percentage and the offense was all iso. It did not work with any team he said except the already 72 win team golden state Warriors. It worked with out him they were a great team already.
The suns exchanged two players for one, if he’s “THAT” guy he can make up the production of those two players. Durant ISN’T the best plug in play. Lebron is the best plug in play in the history of the NBA. He’s the only guy to win 3 championships with 3 different teams.
How can Colin continue to say wrongly that KD is plug and play. He has lost everywhere he has been except a ready-made GSW team. If I was a wrong in my job as Colin always is on this topic, I would have been fired by now.
Im w CC on this one. It’s not KD’s fault. No way. He and Booker were played well. They need more help. That’s it. It just shows that role players matter.
Jokic was top 40 in the league on defense, he isn't making any all defense teams any time soon but he is above average on defense not garbage, but I'll bet Colin didn't watch a single regular season nuggets game

Idk wtf colin is talking qbout here lol
What’s this excuses bullshit lol nuggets are just a wildly better team than the suns but media doesn’t respect Jokic like they go crazy for KD

Jason, Shaq would absolutely dominate Jokić. Shaq has a better chance of defending and stopping him than vice versa
Colin clearly doesn’t watch the mavs lol
Of course he's not blaming KD cuz it doesnt fit his narrative
Steph and Warriors saved KD. He would have zero rings without them.
I heard the co-jost and thoight he didnt know shit and sounded like a bitch, then i looked at the screen and saw who it was.
Makes sense.

Everyone who tells Colin how stupid he is is a Fanboy
Colin picked the suns coming out of West and of course not everyone cares about the warriors. Is he just doing propaganda? 🤣
KD is just a loser. Too many useless explanations.
Okay… if that's true than send him to the Hornets or Rockets
jmac when u criticize everyone whos not a ny jet u r a hater
KD to the Nuggets, BOOK IT!
You can say whatever you want about KD, but the truth is, at the end of the day…he just doesn’t get the job done.
Uhm, KD doesn't care enough. He's too "chill" man.
Kd didnt drop 27 though lol he was outscored by KCP
Clown " people love warriors and steph" yet lakers and bron still #1 jersey sales and most popular franchise 🤡🤡🤡
Devin Booker played outstanding defense stop it he showed up. Kd did not show up he shot horribly all series
Colin cowherd doesn’t really know basketball I think he’s just a personality
i cant believe they defending this dude . it was a failure . simple as that
KD, “the most efficient star in nba history”, shot the same percentage from 3 as lebron 😂
They gutted the team to get KD thinking he’d put them over the top, he did absolutely nothing to help this team. In fact, he made them worse defensively and forced them into more iso ball. The man got outplayed by Booker in these playoffs and wasn’t efficient
Lbj mj Kobe…won chips without stacked teams kd cherry picking teams w hof players and cant win
Colin quit making excuses for kd
When KD and Kyrie dont have a top 15 player all time with them dysfunction follows
Wth is he talking bought obviously it didn’t work he shot a low percentage and the offense was all iso. It did not work with any team he said except the already 72 win team golden state Warriors. It worked with out him they were a great team already.
The suns exchanged two players for one, if he’s “THAT” guy he can make up the production of those two players. Durant ISN’T the best plug in play. Lebron is the best plug in play in the history of the NBA. He’s the only guy to win 3 championships with 3 different teams.
People hate the warriors. Not only does he not watch hoops but he is unbelievably out of touch. Clown.
How anyone in their right mind can continue to defend DuCant is beyond me
How can Colin continue to say wrongly that KD is plug and play. He has lost everywhere he has been except a ready-made GSW team. If I was a wrong in my job as Colin always is on this topic, I would have been fired by now.
Im w CC on this one. It’s not KD’s fault. No way.
He and Booker were played well. They need more help. That’s it. It just shows that role players matter.
They need to stop sayin kd can be a plug n play. He aint workin at last 2 teams being plugged in
The warriors are going to crush the lakers. The refs can't hide the lakers no more to much talk about them cheating and we all see it.
The NBA doesn't want what the did in 2002 caught up again. We were all on to it. So now the warriors are going to crush them
I love Colin but the Nuggets didn't get any praise at all
KD delivered on what he does……..1 from his first 10 shots last night…….he delivered
All I’m hearing is excuses for kd smh
Pathetic and embarassing take from Colin.
Jokic was top 40 in the league on defense, he isn't making any all defense teams any time soon but he is above average on defense not garbage, but I'll bet Colin didn't watch a single regular season nuggets game
Embiid is the MVP 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
