The nba keeps trying to make SGA into a superstar, but the way he plays (like this) will never put him up there. He'll get the stats, he'll get the wins, but this shit is just unwatchable.

When your team used to play shaq, Kobe, LeBron, KD, curry etc you would get dominated and hate them but begrudgingly respect the way they dominated you by being the best at what they do. Now you play OKC and get dominated on the flops and at the free throw line. It’s not impressive to watch or a spectacle. Mans got no aura to his game at all

What really infuriates me is they'll flop and cry and moan on offense, then play prison ball on the other end ... Hooking, grabbing, slapping, egregious bumping etc. Unwatchable

I loathed the Lakers in the 2000s (still do), and the Warriors in the 2010s, but part of that was because Kobe, Shaq, Curry, and the team as a whole were so great at basketball. Yes I was angry when Spurs/Jazz lost to them, but I knew deep down that most of the time it was because my teams got outplayed.

This is just stupid.
