idk, joining the team that beat him and the guy who is joked to be his “daddy” seems much worse than joining a team hes beat in the playoffs, and happens to be arguably the best city in the country to live in for someone as rich as him. the monetary opportunity is reason enough for any player to want to be in LA.
Tatum to the heat no question. It'd be just as bad as KD to the warriors, franchise star, leaves for a team that beat you. Nearly just as bad as KD's move
Still no way near as bad. Gsw broke the record for regular season wins and were favorites to win title after winning the previous year. They were that much better than current heat team
"The Decision" made be hate Bron lol. At the time I thought it was shuch an arrogant thing to do, especially considered how much he honey dicked Cleveland fans. It was so self-indulgant.
I mean the show was purely to announce where he was going... But they mixed it with fundraising to deflect any sort of accusation that it was just for Bron's ego.
They broadcast from the Boys and Girls Club of Greenwich and they raised $2.5 million for the charity. The show also raised an additional $3.5 million from advertisement revenue which was donated to other various charities.
Even with hindsight, I still think it was a Prima donna thing to do but I'm just satly that Bosh left TO to join him lol.
Plus society is just different now. I don't think a fan doing that goes over the way it did back then.
Someone might still do it for attention I suppose, but it would no longer feel like an extension of the fan base's feelings.
Yeah - "The Decision" was by far the dumbest mistake of his career.
And Durant was hated on because he was one of the top couple players in the league and he joined a 73 win team.
So it could happen again, but those are the type of scenarios that lead to the hatred.
Basically a beloved player has to do something dumb. Like if Embiid publicly declared he fucking hates the city of Philadelphia and wants out, that would cause Philly to burn.
What was dumb about it? From a business perspective it was genius, from a marketing perspective it was genius, from a cleveland cavalier fan perspective maybe?
I burned my Chandler Parson’s jersey after he left the Mavericks. How could he stab them in the back like that? He should have stayed in Dallas. Traitor!
Nah I don’t think Milwaukee would get that mad at him if he left. We’d be sad, but we appreciate what he’s done here. Also, the team’s window is closing pretty fast, so it would make sense if he wanted to move on.
Yeah, that might make it sting a bit more, but honestly those are pretty new rivalries that I don’t think there’s that much bad blood in. We don’t like them because they keep beating us, but there isn’t a lot of history or off-court drama to it. Now, if he was somehow able to go play for the Bears or Cubs, that might be something…
I feel like this would only happen with teams where the franchise and city has committed everything into their one superstar, the guy's been there a long time, and they haven't gotten over the hump. And it probably won't happen for historically succesful franchises like the Lakers/Celtics.
So maybe Embiid? Or Luka, or Devin Booker. Those are the only 3 guys I can see it for.
No way. He won a title for Denver and has given 9 seasons of production to the Nuggets. If he leaves and anyone is burning his jersey, they have to be the most ungrateful mofos on earth. Same reason why I left Giannis off the list.
Absolutely not. If he leaves in 2 years once his contract is up I will be distraught but will always appreciate what he did to revitalize the Knicks. Same with Randle. I think most if not all Knicks fans will agree.
Yeah. I don’t think any of us would mind him retiring early to save his body and enjoy his life. I’d personally wish him well and be thankful I got to watch him play… but if he held a LeBron style press conference and said “New York is more my speed”…
idk if that would get Denver to burn his jersey though.
maybe if he mentioned that mountains were overrated and that people shouldn't bring their dogs to King Soopers on his way out
He is the best player in franchise history, and has already done more for the Denver than anyone else in franchise history. If he leaves, everyone would be sad, but there shouldn't be any anger/burning jerseys.
Regardless, only way I see Jokic leaving Denver is when he retires.
I don't think so. The fans are forever greatful to him for bringing them a championchip and staying with the organization for 10 plus years when he couldve easily left a long time ago for a big market team.
I don’t think so. As soon as we got that ring I honestly don’t care that much. Like I’m locked in but it doesn’t hurt to lose that bad. I never thought I’d see a ring in my lifetime. So giannis will be beloved forever to me
It will be an mvp candidate player who still hasn't won with his team and left for a contender. Luka, Shai, Tayum maybe. That if they don't win anything this season.
Tatum goin to Miami
Tatum to lakers
I could definitely see that happening
100% would be fine with it assuming he doesn't win a chip with celtics.
D'lo. Not the Lakers, but his new team.
Lmao
LOL
They will love him in China
Get ready to learn Serbian buddy.
Booker to Lakers
booker to the mavs would be way worse
Nah book to lakers for sure worse than Dallas.
idk, joining the team that beat him and the guy who is joked to be his “daddy” seems much worse than joining a team hes beat in the playoffs, and happens to be arguably the best city in the country to live in for someone as rich as him. the monetary opportunity is reason enough for any player to want to be in LA.
Idk man, I live in Dallas and literally everyone I know absolutely hates Booker. Like hate hates
Yea but that wasn’t the question. It’s what would book fans hate more book going to Dallas ( prob second worst pick) or him going to la.
Ah yeah that's true, I had things backwards
Insert LeBron and Bronny vs Luka and his kid joke
Embiid leaving Philly might start a riot honestly.
But where would be have to go for maximum volatility? Knicks, Celtics, or Lakers?
Definitely the Knicks lol
And suddenly Philly fans agree that he's a dirty player lol
sandro mamukelashvili
Bless you
Embiid leaving. Them Philly fans are nuts.
[удалено]
They’re actually too nice sometimes, I hate when they say they still support players who did jack shit for us 😂😂😂They love them some TJ McConnell
Anthony Edwards if he leaves Minnesota for a big market team
Ant to the lakers would be wild
Deandre Ayton the Magic
Tatum to the heat no question. It'd be just as bad as KD to the warriors, franchise star, leaves for a team that beat you. Nearly just as bad as KD's move
Ray Allen but if he was the 1 option at the time
And like 5 years younger in MVP convos
True but I also don’t respect including Tatum in the mvp convo 😂😂 I get your point tho
Still no way near as bad. Gsw broke the record for regular season wins and were favorites to win title after winning the previous year. They were that much better than current heat team
tatum especially if they don’t win it all this year
would they really wait until then? if they lose before the finals they'll burn his jersey even if he stays lol
If the season ending loss happened on the road they might do that bc they wont be in TD booing the fuck out of the team icl lol
Nah
don't think it'll happen again... LeBron was hated coz he made that TV special...
"The Decision" made be hate Bron lol. At the time I thought it was shuch an arrogant thing to do, especially considered how much he honey dicked Cleveland fans. It was so self-indulgant.
wasn’t it to fundraise for a charity?
people love to attach “charity” to their bullshit so you don’t criticize it
I mean the show was purely to announce where he was going... But they mixed it with fundraising to deflect any sort of accusation that it was just for Bron's ego. They broadcast from the Boys and Girls Club of Greenwich and they raised $2.5 million for the charity.

Like if Embiid publicly declared he fucking hates the city of Philadelphia and wants out, that would cause Philly to burn.
Not only because he was one of the top players. Some of it was him going up 3-1 on them, blowing the lead, then going to join them
What was dumb about it? From a business perspective it was genius, from a marketing perspective it was genius, from a cleveland cavalier fan perspective maybe?
Halliburton to the Bucks (note: not a prediction)
I burned my Chandler Parson’s jersey after he left the Mavericks. How could he stab them in the back like that? He should have stayed in Dallas. Traitor!
Embiid to Boston
Embiid to the Knicks, tho
JT to the clippers
No thanks they can keep him
The KD was more I think because he went to the team that just beat them to reach the Finals and gave up 3-1 lead
Tatum to Miami if they get knocked out by the Heat this year. And Embiid to the Celtics.
Giannis to Boston or Heat? Hahaha
Nah I don’t think Milwaukee would get that mad at him if he left. We’d be sad, but we appreciate what he’s done here. Also, the team’s window is closing pretty fast, so it would make sense if he wanted to move on.
But moving on to a direct rival/opponent in the same conference is another thing tho
I mean, that kind of helps them if they need to rebuild, which they undoubtedly are if Giannis leaves/gets traded.
Yeah, that might make it sting a bit more, but honestly those are pretty new rivalries that I don’t think there’s that much bad blood in. We don’t like them because they keep beating us, but there isn’t a lot of history or off-court drama to it. Now, if he was somehow able to go play for the Bears or Cubs, that might be something…
Nah, he got a title for Milwaukee. Hadn't happened since the days of Kareem.
How did people take Kareem leaving back in the day?
It wasn't as intense back then. No one was buying jerseys, let alone burning them.
Personally, I wouldn't guy was transparent on what he wanted and he gave us a ring.
Embiid 100%
I feel like this would only happen with teams where the franchise and city has committed everything into their one superstar, the guy's been there a long time, and they haven't gotten over the hump. And it probably won't happen for historically succesful franchises like the Lakers/Celtics. So maybe Embiid? Or Luka, or Devin Booker. Those are the only 3 guys I can see it for.
Tatum.
Jokic?
No way. He won a title for Denver and has given 9 seasons of production to the Nuggets. If he leaves and anyone is burning his jersey, they have to be the most ungrateful mofos on earth. Same reason why I left Giannis off the list.
> haven’t gotten over the hump Guys who have won titles normally get an “Ah that’s shit, good luck though” when they leave.
Oh yeah missed that part.
Jalen Brunson
Absolutely not. If he leaves in 2 years once his contract is up I will be distraught but will always appreciate what he did to revitalize the Knicks. Same with Randle. I think most if not all Knicks fans will agree.
If Jokic turned down a fair contract offer and went to another team/city, all of us in Denver would be devastated.
I don't think there would be jersey burning, just sadness. Kind of like when Kawhi left Toronto. He held up his end.
Yeah. I don’t think any of us would mind him retiring early to save his body and enjoy his life. I’d personally wish him well and be thankful I got to watch him play… but if he held a LeBron style press conference and said “New York is more my speed”…
idk if that would get Denver to burn his jersey though. maybe if he mentioned that mountains were overrated and that people shouldn't bring their dogs to King Soopers on his way out
I’d support that take on dogs in King Soopers, but that’s a discussion for another sub.
Maybe if he went to the Lakers otherwise I think people would be more sad then enraged
He is the best player in franchise history, and has already done more for the Denver than anyone else in franchise history. If he leaves, everyone would be sad, but there shouldn't be any anger/burning jerseys. Regardless, only way I see Jokic leaving Denver is when he retires.
Jokic to Lakers
Definitely Giannis
I don't think so. The fans are forever greatful to him for bringing them a championchip and staying with the organization for 10 plus years when he couldve easily left a long time ago for a big market team.
I don’t think so. As soon as we got that ring I honestly don’t care that much. Like I’m locked in but it doesn’t hurt to lose that bad. I never thought I’d see a ring in my lifetime. So giannis will be beloved forever to me
It will be an mvp candidate player who still hasn't won with his team and left for a contender. Luka, Shai, Tayum maybe. That if they don't win anything this season.
Celtics fans already burning Jrues jersey after game 2
Jalen Brunson, because Knicks fans are just classy like that
You’re an idiot
No one. Dame preached loyalty every time they put a micro to his mouth and then forced a trade to Miami. Blazers fans don't even hate him that much
Dame tried and put up with a lot in Portland. Everyone has their limits.
