It’s funny that the guy who wrote the “Book of Basketball” (who also constantly talks about how the Draymond suspension in Game 5 of 2016 was as a handout for the Cavs??) is now saying that 3 games where Steph Curry was clearly at 50% and lost made LeBron the best player in the world?
I didn’t take you for being ahistorical, Bill. I guess “Never Meet Your Heroes” is true

@TommyGunnNBA Seems like 2022 hurt him more than he realizes. I assumed 2024 would have healed those wounds.
English
Ya thanks Bill. Big fan btw.
Are we gonna talk about the fact that Steph didn’t play in the 2016 Olympics because his knee was so destroyed that the Warriors shut him down for the summer??
Or, we can just ignore that. I guess.
If you’re gonna do the “historian” shit. Be fucking accurate. Dickhead.
Bill Simmons@BillSimmons
Hey dickhead — LeBron finished 2016 winning the last 3 final games and the title. You should worry about your own career, this will be the highlight of yours that i responded to you. There’s a reason you are where you are.

This is the biggest reason why I no longer hoop.
I can’t imagine having to work a corporate job while trying to rehab and Achilles or ACL.
Jon Kelly@JonKellyDFS
This was actually so dumb. Tore my Achilles

This felt so surreal in the moment. I remember thinking after that 3rd 1Q 3, “man…… is he really about to do this AGAIN? After EVERYTHING??”
And then… he did.
What a magical run 2022 was, man… hit every note.

@TommyBeer @KDTrey5 What the fuck does that have to do with anything
English
As a random aside Kev, do you feel any pressure (internal or external) to use your prominent voice to speak out on the current state of affairs and toxic political climate in America.
Im sure Rich and ur team advise against speaking out and pissing ppl off, but you seem to be a rare athlete that isn’t overly concerned with public opinion.

KD locked in $45 million in guaranteed money for his age-39 season… not sure I’d characterize that as an unselfish sacrifice
Shams Charania@ShamsCharania
Durant was eligible for a max extension of $120M, but understood when he chose the Rockets as a trade destination that he'd be sacrificing money – in this case around $30M less – so that the sides can partner for the long term and give the franchise team-building flexibility.

Warriors fans are just impatient, it’s the truth. This FO definitely knows what they’re doing and I’m certain that their fans will be happy when all is said and done this offseason.
They have a lot of very smart people in that organization who understand what it takes to win.
___ 🇬🇷@tc2261
@BrettSiegelNBA Is there a sense that the warriors FO knows what they’re doing? Being the only team to do literally nothing in FA (other than I guess handshake deals) seems a tough sell for a team with a championship core in its twilight
English
@TommyGunnNBA As much as we try to appreciate it, it still feels like we are taking it for granted. Gotta enjoy every moment of it
English
For my money, one of Steph’s best games ever.
Insane to waste this guy, year after year.

Steph Curry in Game 3 win: 36 PTS 9 AST 7 REB 12-23 FG 5-13 3FG Curry scored or assisted on 57 of Warriors' 104 points.

@warriorsworld We still on this??? Obvious opportunity for Logan Murdock to gain even more attention and try too revive his career by using my name and the Warriors. The audience is SICK AND TIRED of the same bullshit narrative. Be better my man

"The one thing about Jonathan Kuminga, wouldn't it make more sense to keep Kuminga and lose someone else, like Draymond Green?"

This fan base deserves nothing. They did everything to break this young black man
Real App@realapp
Jonathan Kuminga is the youngest Warrior to score 20+ PTS in 3 straight playoff games off the bench.

@anthonyVslater Yup

"A lot of physicality is coming...I just don't think any of these smart, veteran, long, athletic teams are going to let Steph Curry score 38 in a series to beat you. It's going to have to be the others." - @anthonyVslater on @WillardAndDibs. 🎧 go.audacy.com/Qkk3aGDVnSb
@957thegame @Steinmetzsports @SteinyGuru957 Idiotic take. The wrong move was NOT moving CP3s expiring when they could have had Lavine. Bulls were trying to get off his $ and could have done so.

@lightyrspod Lose.
Alienate fan base.
Cry “trades are hard” 😢.
Obfuscate strategic plans.
Brag about your role in “building a dynasty” you had no hand in.
English
@rayalmeda It’s frustrating? More frustrating than watching an MVP season by Steph go to waste so James Wiseman could play 20MPG? The hubris to think that they could just go recreate everything Steph has done is just immeasurable.
English
The disrespect against Lacob is frustrating. Does he deserve some of the backlash? Absolutely. But discrediting everything he’s done for the team and being compared to some of the worst people in human history is too much. Same people discredit Dray’s career contributions too.
English
@BuddhaSplash @warriorsworld Let’s go over which assets they failed to utilize to help the team:
- 2nd overall pick
- 7th and 14th overall pick
- Klays DPE
- Oubre sign and trade possibility
- CP3 expiring
- Literally any first round pick
Either incompetence or complacency. I’m probably missing some too
English
@GswMidwest @warriorsworld lol incorrect. The Warriors didn’t have to maintain KD’s salary slot at a significant cost but they did - which directly led to Wiggs and a fourth ring.
English
@BuddhaSplash @warriorsworld He has made no attempt to build a team around Steph since KD left. From that moment on they have no traded a single first round pick for a “win now” asset. Always planning for the future with a top 5 player of all time. It’s insanity. It’s stupidity. It’s unwarranted hubris.
English
@warriorsworld He has - more than any owner in NBA history.
English
@WairusWara I have never seen an agreement on classifying a promising player as a bust as warriors hasty fans doing it to Wiseman. nobody sympathized with his injuries or allowing growth time. were cruel to him. They tried to do it to Kuminga and now they swallow their tongues.
English
@samesfandiari can confirm the beard is unrelated to any and all basketball activity
English
Between the beard, his tone and the content of his words… the message should be CLEAR lol
Danny Emerman@DannyEmerman
Some of Steve Kerr talking about teaching the Warriors’ young players how to play w/ Steph. “It’s important for our young players to understand we don’t need contested 17 footers with 12 on the clock. That’s a bad shot…when you have Steph Curry on your team, pass the ball.”
