NBA Players comparison to The Wire characters. A thread
Bron Avon cause through all his losses (finals) he still remained one of the tops of the game. Had his man switch up on him (kyrie). Still showed he could hold shit down without him. Even though young cats on him (marlo which is KD and Michael which is Giannis) he still out here.
Kyrie Stringer Bell. Both wanted to get away from they mans and do they own thing. And it didn’t work out. Both had championship moments but led pride get in the way.
KD Marlo. He walked away with 10mill and still wasn’t recognized how he wanted. Same way with KD. Got rings in GS but no one really gonna respect it.
Kawhi omar. Straight up killers proved themselves time after time. Took down the king at one point. And even when at their weakest (kawhi injury in San Antonio) (Omar broken leg) bounced back and still was recognized as top dog. Forever cemented in a city. (Toronto)
Giannis Michael. Eventually Michael became that nigga at the end of the show. Giannis will get there in due time. But he’s coming.
Mcnulty is Joel Embiid. Mcnulty was a good cop but he was a dysfunctional drunk. Embiid a great player but he half ass on some nights.
Dame Slim Charles. Always putting in work and never switching up. Loyal. No matter how much the grass may look greener on the other side.
Jerry West is Vondas. Look at the moves, no drama. Never caught lacking. Showed how it should be done.
Cp3 Naymomd. He was put In position to win (clippers) never lived up. Could’ve been Mvp never was. Was getting punked on the corners. Had all the potential and fumbled it.
Magic Johnson prop joe. Both had potential to run great organizations. But try to take shortcuts tisk tisk tisk.
Kevin love Poot, got treated like a sucka by String but was a key player. Took out Wallace held it down in the towers and was the last one standing before he went to footlocker. Kevin love got treated like a weak link or liability but they couldn’t win without him.
Jimmy Butler is Bodie. All they know is Hustle and grind. Bodie always held niggas accountable Wallace Poot etc and tried his best to make sure nobody was slipping on his corner. Same way Jimmy held his teammates accountable especially in Minnesota he hate soft players.
