As a hooper, KD’s move is significantly worse than Bron. As bad as it looked like for Bron, the best player at that time, to leave and team up someplace else, KD leaving a championship contender for the team that just eliminated them just screams “I want it easy” much much louder. CLE was a contender solely because of Bron for years. At least he had a reason to leave unlike KD.

Meanwhile KD was in an even better position coz he had a legit running mate in Russ and a competent FO (even when they dropped the ball on Harden they remained a powerhouse in the West). They were up 3-1 vs the best team that year but just couldn’t finish the job. How do you NOT feel so bad about losing that series and NOT want to go at those mfs again?!

So his reputation had taken a hit. Then KD arrives and they win b2b chips and during that run the narrative became well damn Steph doesn’t even have a FMVP, KD took them.

If the Warriors had upgraded to someone between Harrison Barnes and KD instead of KD, Curry could still have 4 rings. If it wasn’t for two potential career ending injuries, the KD Warriors would have three. Curry‘s a foundational team piece that you can build around. KD is the ultimate final piece for any team, but he can’t win you a championship without a solid enough foundation.

[@idk5916]

This is true for every player though, Jordan needed rebounds and post defense because he's a guard. LeBron needs spacing to compliment his driving and passing. Kareem needed a PG to lead the offense and pass well. Unless I'm missing your point, a superstar needs their supporting cast otherwise you end up with 04 Pistons beating the Lakers

[@cobot5784]

@@idk5916 I think Steph elevates his teammate more, like Lebron does for his teams. KD is such a talent, he might not understand how to make his teammates better but nothing is stopping KD from getting 30+ at will. Also, the Warriors as a team was in a better position to keep winning the Thunder as a team at the time, so the comment about Steph still have 4 rings is mostly about team/org. But I also think KD earned three rings but only got two. But I think KD made the right choice to go to GSW.

BullShit KD didn't get enough credit. Prior to 2022 FMVP from Steph the whole narrative was "KD saved Steph", "Steph cant win without KD", "KD carried them". Steph in B2B Finals 2017 and 2018 averaged 27/7/7 on 59% true shooting and was "choking" in the Finals. Outside of Game 4 (2017 Finals) and Game 3 (2018 Finals) Steph was 31/7/6 on 45/45 from 3 on 5.4 makes a game/ 94 from the line Steph in 2018 was the best player in 3/4 games for Golden State and 2/4 games overall for in the 2018 Finals (Game 2 and 4) and he lost FMVP because KD had an all-time game 3. The same reason Bron won Olympic MVP was the same reason why Steph lost FMVP in 2018. It sums how how people will overlook stephs impact on winning on big stakes games, Steph had 1 of the most important games in usab history, most points ever in a medal game in what looked like a team Serbia win 95% of the time, but here we are giving the bulk of the credit to his teammate all over again.

[@shawnneurohr6198]

You can’t knock the Warriors for going after KD. What team in their right mind is not going after KD if he’s a free agent and has the salary for it. Golden State did what every team in the league should’ve and would’ve done. KD gets the Heat for it because it was ultimately his choice to deny all other offers from decent teams to go to the very best. Gil is wrong.

[@jasongordan]

Gil is right they were 73-9 and asked KD to join them and by the way STEPH WAS ON THAT FLIGHT!!!!!!

Exactly these folks are brain dead. I guess if the superbowl winning team somehow had the number one pick they should trade it and not select a great player.

[@RonnySwank]

Lmao why Gil acting like KD was the clear #2 in the league at the time?? Steph just won a chip, unanimous MVP, lead his team 73-9, BEAT KD coming back from 3-1, and was one possession from completing the best season ever. Steph surpassed KD by then

He’s not but go off. The fact of the matter is there were already reports that the warriors wanted Durant before they even played the first game in the finals. So in reality, whether the warriors won or not they were gonna go after Durant. Either way it was all up to Durant to decide to go there. That’s why Durant getting the brunt of the narrative, cause he could’ve said no.
