6:49 he owes them a postseason succes. Not biggest failing in 1st round. Maybe a chip wo the most injured season ever
I think Steve Kerr is the reason the warriors didn’t get a big man is abscessed with small u see with the warriors & the USA team
Also I think the warriors u should have traded the young players after the championship it’s be a year too early than late like they did & they should’ve drafted lamelo over wiseman
Loyalty is about sacrifice & organizations have lost that but think players should be the only ones doing so … so yea it’s dead
I find it funny how you mention players like Kobe, Dirk and Wade with their championships of the modern era yet you suspiciously don't mention Tim Duncan staying with the Spurs and his 5 titles.
I personally feel like golden state is going to try and trade Chris Paul before the deadline
After I saw how the Celtics did IT, I was all for the players doing what they wanted. These organizations aren’t loyal, so why should the players be
Players have very rarely been shown loyalty so why would anyone expect them stay in a situation that is not in their best interest?
10:20 Didn't help that we didn't bring back some key guys from that title run for some reason
if NBA players are not loyal to thier teams and the fans who support them
then theres NO reason fans should ever be loyal to them!!
Whatever happened to the Dirk’s and Duncan’s of the game
I've never understood why the NBA (and sports) community valued loyalty so much.
Did Giannis sign with GSW or its a clickbait?
Giannis just gave us this long speech on how failing wasn't failing, how it's a process. Now it sounds like he knows they failed & he's not rryna go through the process he was speaking on. 🤔
Its nothing personal,
it ended in 2010 lol. specially from a superstar level..
What about curry
Why be loyal to these teams when they’ll trade you anytime any day.
Miami probably gonna end up giving up Bam in the trade for Dame. It sucks but that’s what’s probably stalling it
I don't understand why people believe that nba players should be loyal to the team that drafted to them and play the rest of their career on that team. Free agency and trade is there for a reason. What's the whole point on having if you can't use it. If you want players to be loyal then ban trading and free agency in the game and see what will happen then. All players will be god damn loyal to their team.
Giannis shouldn’t be complaining. You want to win? Get rid of your brothers they trash juice
The bucks really need to win a ring this year to keep that core together, but even then they are just so old man and Middleton is so injury prone and the Celtics look genuinely scary.
0:25 on the other side, Raptors traded DeRozan with a similar play style player but with a defensive mindset then won a title. That's a kinda hard slap to DeRozan
People in the comments hypocrite. They domt them to be loyal but they also want them to get rhe bag. Everything is a give and take. Forget the loyality part how bout they stay healthy
The whole loyalty thing is only worth it if you have a team and organization around you that's actually doing something. Steph in golden state has been great. He does his part, the org does theirs, no reason for him to leave. On the other end is dame and Portland. He's basically been the only thing keeping them relevant and they've given him nothing in return. He should have left earlier than he did.
Being loyal to an NBA team is one of the most risky things a modern nba player can do, they'll can ruin a players prime
No NBA player should be loyal. Nor should NFL Players (although this one not an issue).
You should not feel the obligation to be loyal to the team who drafted you. If that player sucked ass, he would be cut within two seconds. Not sure why a player to feel loyal to play in some shithole like Cleveland just because they took them in the "draft".
Also we all hear, it's a business. That works both ways.
I think especially it is rare now to see teammates play with the same team is basically over now especially now now with players moving left and right.🏀
Jokic with Denver will be the last loyal relationship for a long time in the NBA
Y’all and this “loyalty” BS in business, are y’all all kids?
you saying the warriors did bad this off season is prolly one of the worst takes. just witness this season they gon go faaaaaar
Maybe if you look at the grand scheme of things it may not pan out for players to stay loyal, but if you look at them in the city they play for, they are the most popular guys in the city if they stay loyal. You may not stay loyal too an organization, you stay loyal to a city. Would you rather be respected by all NBA fans, or would you rather be beloved by a single fan base because of your loyalty?
NBA loyalty was honestly a myth really – even Kobe wanted to leave multiple times but was forced to stay in LA. Just a talking point to try to prove why somebody is great (such as “MJ is lOyAl and LeBUM IsNt!) or some form of props but the fact of the matter is it that it’s cool, but less important than people think it is.
I personally don't care. The very word "loyalty" implies that one of the parties involved owes something to the other and that has never been the case. Franchise owners want to make money, players want to win (or make more money). It's business: if the player underperforms, he gets traded, if the organization fails to put a competitive roster around a player, they lose that player. And it's perfectly fine. The main reason why "loyalty" is even a thing is because back in the day franchises had all the power and it was more difficult for players to change teams, not because they were "more loyal".
It's a business everyone do what they can for self
Don’t treat loyalty like a given. Treat it like a business.
Feels less painful that way.
Nah bro it started with Lebron leaving Cleveland for Miami. Cleveland wanted his head when he left them. San Antonio fans wasn’t acting like that
Loyalty to a multibillionaire owners lmao nah
Players' loyalty to teams is disappearing. Teams' loyalty to players have never existed.
Players should talk about this stuff in interviews and social media stuff cause they have to change things even though some players can overuse their power they cannot let a stuck up losing franchise ruin their careers
Jokic the only loyal player in the NBA.
Lol Kawhi leaving the Spurs is your bar for the end of loyalty?? Really? Nothing about that situation strikes you as remotely justified from Kawhi's viewpoint (and IMPORTANTLY relative to others leaving their franchises)? This has been going on since well before Kawhi. You can't think of one example where a superstar player left a franchise for no "actual" reason? (Heatle's don't count obviously). Even if you think Kawhi left the Spurs for no reason, my point still stands. It's happened before… a lot. Let's also conveniently forget to mention that the modern NBA, well before Kawhi, has encouraged players to choose the right contracts for themselves.
Loving this channel!
Fairly new NBA fan here, and this channel is always the best
It's a joke you try to paint this "Player Empowerment" as something authentic…. it's a fancy term. A facade… the reality is… it is entitlement…. LeBron is a MASTER of avoiding ACCOUNTABILITY…. NOT "PLAYER EMPOWERMENT "
at the end of the day It's a fair trade I play you pay
Fuck the Blazers tbh, they got 11 season of Dame and never once even try to build a contender, just let him walk away for fucksake
Loyalty doesn't come with a sacrifice… LOYALTY earns respect… LARRY BIRD, TIM DUNCAN, KOBE BRYANT, DIRK NOWITZKI… just a few immortalized LEGENDS…. Not only because they won championships… but they ALL HAVE MASSIVE REASPECT AND ARE IMMORTALIZED…. LOYALTY amplifies a players LEGACY…. teams take time to gain chemistry… you can't just slap a bunch of all stars together and expect to win….. DALLAS vs MIAMI 2010… CLEAR EXAMPLE… OLD ASS DIRK NOWITZKI BEAT LEBRON, DWADE, CHRIS BOSH IN THEIR PRIMES…. HE HAD A BUNCH OF OLD PLAYERS ON HIS TEAM… You spent half this video devaluing players based on their age and physical capabilities. BASKETBALL IS A SKILL BASED SPORT MORE SO THAN ATHLETIC. Your take is way off and misses the mark more than a LeBron James FREE THROW.
