Pamela Owens+FollowDraymond Responds to KD Ring TalkDraymond Green clapped back at the idea that Kevin Durant’s titles with Golden State were “cheap”: “Kevin Durant never gets a Championship if he doesn’t come here… but you don’t get 2 Finals MVP if you don’t deserve rings — that’s just kind of a dumb thing to say.” Draymond making it clear: KD’s rings count, and the Warriors needed him too. Do you agree with Draymond, or do KD’s Warriors titles still feel different? #DraymondGreen #KevinDurant #Warriors #NBA #NBADebate #NBAChampion #DubNation #Dynasty #Sports 144Share
Brandy Rodriguez+FollowJeff Teague Says Russ > KawhiJeff Teague stirred the pot, saying Kawhi Leonard didn’t have a better career than Russell Westbrook. “You don’t have a league MVP, you was never the best player in the NBA. If you put Kawhi on those OKC teams, they wouldn’t win.” Kawhi’s Finals MVPs and two titles vs Russ’s MVP and triple-double legacy — two very different careers. Who do you think had the better career? #RussellWestbrook #KawhiLeonard #NBA #NBADebate #NBALegends #BasketballTalk #Sports 10Share
Beth Holland+FollowStephen A. Smith vs. LeBronStephen A. Smith has made it clear — he doesn’t like LeBron, and it probably won’t ever change. But over the years, no player has been brought up by SAS more than LeBron himself. At this point, it feels like when LeBron finally retires, Stephen A. might just retire too. #NBA #LeBronJames #StephenASmith #NBADebate #BasketballDebate #Sports 178Share

Beth Holland+FollowMetta World Peace Said 15-Year-Old LeBron Was NBA ReadyMetta World Peace once called a 15-year-old LeBron James “NBA ready.” Just think about that — a teenager being viewed as capable of dominating grown men at the pro level. Back then, most players knew LeBron had it, but the competitiveness, and maybe jealousy, meant few would admit it. Metta wasn’t afraid to say it out loud. Can you picture a teenager today stepping in and taking over the league? #NBA #LeBronJames #MettaWorldPeace #NBADebate #YoungTalent #Sports 131Share
Robert Johansson+FollowShould the NBA Bring Back Team Jerseys for the All-Star Game? ⭐️The All-Star Game used to have players rocking their own team’s jerseys — East vs West colors, but still repping their squad. Now it’s standardized uniforms every year. Clean look, sure, but some miss the old vibe when you’d see a mix of team jerseys all on the floor at once. Should the NBA bring that back, or keep the custom All-Star uniforms? #NBA #AllStarGame #NBADebate #Throwback #ClassicNBA #Sports 00Share
Brandy Rodriguez+FollowWould a Ring Erase James Harden’s “Choker” Label?James Harden’s career has been defined by two sides: one of the greatest scorers and offensive engines ever… and a reputation for coming up short in the playoffs. But here’s the question — if Harden had beaten the KD Warriors in 2018 and won a title, would that narrative still exist today? Would people see him as a “made man” the way Dirk was after 2011, where one legendary run erased years of criticism? And what about now — if Harden somehow wins a ring this season, does it rewrite the story of his career, or is his playoff reputation too far gone? #NBA #JamesHarden #NBADebate #NBAPlayoffs #Legacy #NBAHistory #Sports 20Share

FromTheLand+FollowWill the Thunder Ever Retire Kevin Durant’s No. 35?Kevin Durant was the foundational star for OKC—the franchise MVP, led them to multiple Conference Finals and the 2012 Finals. By accolades alone, you’d think his jersey would be heading to the rafters. But the sentiment among fans is a lot more complicated. Fans Are Skeptical Durant’s decision to leave OKC for Golden State still stings. As one fan bluntly put it: “If you put it to a vote in OKC… it would be a landslide NO.” Media Take: According to recent coverage, it’s not just about stats—it’s about relationships and loyalty. One writer says: “By pure accolades, he should. But a jersey retirement goes deeper than that. OKC hasn’t welcomed him back with open arms.” Durant’s Response: When asked if the Thunder should retire his jersey, Durant stayed diplomatic. He wrote: “Muse pages and Stan accounts don’t make none of these decisions.” What Thunder Legend Nick Collison Thinks: Collison—whose No. 4 is already retired by the Thunder—believes Durant deserves to be honored one day, calling him a big part of what OKC did here. So, what do you think? Does KD’s legacy in OKC outweigh the bitterness of his departure? Or do you think it’s better left unretired? #NBA #KevinDurant #OKC #Thunder #NBADebate #MVP #Sports 20Share
Robert Johansson+FollowWho Was More Feared: 2016 Curry or 2018 LeBron?Two of the scariest peaks we’ve ever seen. 2016 Curry: First unanimous MVP, 30.1 PPG, 50/45/91 splits, revolutionized the game, pulling up from anywhere and breaking defenses before the ball even crossed half court. 2018 LeBron: Dragged a shaky Cavs roster to the Finals, averaged 34-9-9 in the playoffs, with some of the most iconic clutch moments of his career. So which one struck more fear into opponents — Curry raining threes in 2016, or LeBron bulldozing everything in 2018? #NBA #StephenCurry #LeBronJames #NBADebate #NBAHistory #NBAGreats #BasketballDebate #Sports 20Share
