Why does Nash “deserve” a ring? He was a sieve on defense and he benefited from D’Antoni’s system when it was new and caught teams off guard in the regular season. His 2 MVPs are probably more than he actually deserved.

What kind of analogy is that. Lol
Hardworking kids at Tim's deserve a raise too though.
Also I can't understand why you don't think Wiggins deserve a ring.
It's just a word and maybe you think it's a shame he hasn't won one or you like him and it would be cool to see him win one or cool to see a Canadian win one. No problem with that, but nah, he doesn't deserve one.Last edited by G__Deane; Tue May 24, 2022, 11:41 AM.

Why are we comparing role players winning championship to MVPs who should be leading their teams to championships? Or at least finals.
there are bus drivers and bus riders, like chuck said. and then there are the riders in the back of the bus firing spitballs and paper airplanes at the driver and it's a miracle the thing doesn't crash.
not sure those riders deserve a ring, contrary to keon's statement. that's all i was saying

it's not like he's a bench warmer or a practice player.
He plays a big part in that team. He deserves a ring.
Did Marc Gasol deserve his ring?
If your answer is yes, then why not Wiggins?
If No, then why not?
Stop hating, bro. It's so obvious.Last edited by Kagemusha; Tue May 24, 2022, 06:23 PM.

You're starting (just starting to make more sense). Of course Marc deserved a ring playing on and contributing to a hip winning club.
So if you're saying Wiggins is starting and contributing so he deserves a ring, that different, of course he does.
But I took it (as it looks like most here did) that you were saying Wiggins is a good guy, worked hard and he Canadian! so he deserves one and to that I'd still call bullshit.
But again, stop the hating comments, it's so weak. I have zero reasons to hate on Wiggins, what's there to hate? A decent player that's never accomplished much to this point. Lots of those guys.
