I really dig that they did this. Chuck gets that people think there was some sort of beef-- he's showing their bonds as players go way beyond any of that. Plus KD is a good dude and more people need to recognize that-- on top of being a legend of a player.

What Chuck said in the end is so true and that's as real as it gets. You read comments like "Wilt played with plumbers" or "it was more physical back in the day so these soft babies wouldn't survive." But the reality is, you thrive in the era you're playing, and your greatness should be measured against your contemporaries. That's just how it is. We always hear that 6 rings is better than 4 or 5. But then 11 rings is better than 6 right? That's not how you measure it. You look at Russell, and you compare him to guys like Wilt. You look at MJ and it's Hakeem or Karl Malone. You look at Kobe and it's Duncan. You can't say definitively that a certain guy is the greatest because of accomplished in his time. The important thing is great players leave legacies for the next generations to build upon. It's a continuous cycle.

"It's not better, it's just different." YES!! These are my exact thoughts on the game today vs. the game 20-30 years ago. There's less defense now, but athletes can last longer in the league without a Bad Boy Pistons-style beating. Both are fun to watch in different ways.

I like this version of KD, been a fan since OKC and he seemed to go pretty dark after that MVP season. Then at GSW he seemed angry all the time. He really seems comfortable and confident in himself since the end of last season. Forget top 75, KD is top 20 all time ( along with Steph).

disagree with Chuck saying the game is "easier"....
