Rodman was a great rebounder, but his 18rb/game is inflated, he took quite a few from his teammates, they didn't make a big deal out of it since they knew that's the only thing makes him happy!

Uh... the point isn't that she needed Steph's money. She doesn't. Investors would be fighting over each other trying to fund her ventures. The point is more that she would NONE of this if she wasn't the Princess of the NBA.
Let's not belittle one of the greatest rebounders ever, as if Love doesn't inflate his by not playing defense. Rodman has >16 rpg on 3 different teams. He also has 6 of the top 14 seasons in NBA history for offensive rebounds, which you can't say he "stole" away from his teammates. 6 others were by Moses Malone, one by Barkley and a Jayson Williams outlier for the last one. If you're going to use the "inflate" argument, please note that Rodman played fierce defense and often was guarding the shooter (versus Love leaving his defensive assignment for rebounds, and Rodman was one of the top two offensive rebounders in history. http://www.basketball-reference.com...tat=&c5comp=gt&c6mult=1.0&c6stat=&order_by=ws

3 of the top 5 highest payroll made it to the Conference finals. Cavs #1 Clippers #2 Warriors #3 OKC #4 YOUR ROCKETS #5
The funny thing is, OKC have one of the highest payroll in the league after they resigned Kanter, but they didn't want to sign Harden to a max contract because they didn't want to pay the luxury tax. LOL So now they are paying Kanter the money that they didn't want to pay Harden. 2 Max players that knows only offense
The Lebron nuthuggers are awfully quiet this series. No one is coming to his defense at all unlike previous years (Tmac_1). They're actually giving up on him all of a sudden? Perception is totally different when a team wreak havoc through a weak conference with no adversity to prepare them against a team that went through it all.
Harden can't do anything for that team. Kanter is a big that can rebound etc.. Heck Harden doesn't fit in their long (wing span, standing reach) only roster.
Harden is clutch sometimes. But yea he is redundant on days when WB or Durant is the go to clutch guy. Harden is redundant throughout the game esp as WB matures as a PG, unless Harden adapts to play better off the ball.
she's proving people wrong? because she's successful while being the wife of the most famous and popular athlete in the US? that's like the steph curry story of overcoming so many things, you know like having an all-time great shooting nba player for a dad to become an all-time great shooting nba player.
It's not over yet. How quickly have you people forgotten everyone burying the Warriors after Games 3-4 in OKC and the countless Curry threads by the dork trolls??? That was less than 2 weeks ago! How many other star wives are doing their own thing? A few come to mind (LaLa, Savannah, Gabrielle Union... interestingly, all part of the banana boat crew), but it's more the exception than the rule. And the pop-up restaurant, with Michael Mina, sold out a month in 7 minutes... breaking his previous record of 1.5 weeks. You think a chef like Michael Mina would work with Ayesha Curry if he thought she was a joke/publicity stunt?
Yes, it's actually commendable that she isn't one of those Celebrity Housewives who do nothing but sit at home and gossip. However, I think the media pushing the agenda that she somehow made it on her own without Steph is annoying. No, she didn't take Steph Curry's money, because she didn't need to. But, she is where she is in terms of her business ventures BECAUSE she is Steph Curry's wife. COULD she have made it on her own if she wasn't? Who knows? She would have to contend with the thousands/millions of other chefs/restaurateurs.
So what has Kobe, Michael Jordan, Lebron, etc 's wife has done????? Shouldn't they be successful too???
