Never before has a player had a shot to win three rings in three games

I can't imagine a scenario where a player's entire legacy could be impacted so greatly in (potentially) three games.

Toronto probably wins tonight. But if not shit will get really chinteresting.

    According to Warrior fans a one game suspension was good for three losses in a row so any kind of math could be in play here

    Everyone thought Lebron was broken after the Dallas series. Paul Pierce hit a 3 in his face to win game 5 of the Celtics Heat series the next year to put Boston up 3-2. Pierce screamed on the court “I got the balls to take that shot”. Lebron responded with the best game I’ve ever seen.

    KDs situation is different but the stakes are just as high.

    Personally, I hope he’s great tonight and the Warriors win in 7 because of him. It won’t make me like him but I would love to hate him the way I loved to hate Miami Lebron.

    This is KDs get out of jail free card for his move to Golden State.

    He pulls this off it not only raises his legacy, but removes the asterisks from his previous two titles.

    Hence three rings in three games.

    I suspect that the Raptors are the better team anyway but we'll never know. I think they win tonight. My prediction of Toronto in 7 may have been too pessimistic

    Jordan got his first ring against an injured Laker team. Part of the game and no one remembers most of the time

    While Durant will certainly help with having another shooter on the floor. I don't think neither himself nor Klay will be half of the defenders that they normally are. It's still over tonight.











    You can cook that if you like.

    That was a bad Laker team. Blazers probably run the Bulls out of the gym that particular series as they were still young and the Blazers got Finals experience the year before. But alas, Portland choked in the WCF and the rest is history.

    Yep. Easily the most fascinating NBA storyline since LBJ 3-1 hometown hero heel—>face turn.

    I can’t wait.

    I really felt bad for him. Hopefully it’s not something that threatens next season.

    Out for the year is my prediction.

    The real question is does it change the course of his career.

    Reminds me of Richard Sherman's blown Achilles. Had some issues with it, came back too soon, blew it wide open.

    My guess is he's never the same. Really hope I'm wrong.

    There’s no fixing a partial tear ... it’s just a matter of when it goes

    Reading these before/after comments are amusing

    After tonight, I’m pretty confident in saying KD has cemented his legacy

    Golden State’s GM on the verge of tears talking about it.

    Phony boy tears. Fuck his agent for allowing the team management and training staff to pressure him into playing.

    I love KD.

    KD playing tonight is the absolute best thing that could happen to his career and legacy.

    He made the right decision.

    Yes and no. Depending on how minor it is it can certainly heal with enough rest.

    He has no legacy. He was a coward for running to the best team in the league after choking away a 3-1 lead vs them. A top 3 player in the league joined the best team and they won, who cares. And if Golden State wins this series he’s nothing but a footnote in the Steph/Klay/Draymond story.

    I feel bad for him but that doesn’t change the facts.
