In 6 days it will have been 6 years to the day since KD signed with GS. And to this day I can say this was indeed the weakest move in the history of American team sports. KD ruined the NBA for 2 years. It's basically the same thing as if Larry Bird joined Magic and the Lakers to beat MJ.

[@anen9332]

Magic was always on stacked teams in the 1980s, and for a good amount of that decade the Western Conference was incredibly weak, including a 39-win Sonics team that LA faced in the 1987 Western Conference Finals. A sadly typical record for a Western Conference playoff opponent in those years. Point is, Magic was essentially on a superteam for the majority of his career, while also playing against an overall weak Western Conference for many years. People prefer to forget that.

[@shesbaldbutiwould]

@@anen9332 Magic got drafted there he didnt leave a challenging team to go there because he couldnt beat them also regardless of how stacked the teams were Magic was the leader.

[@shesbaldbutiwould]

no it aint,Larry had no problem beating MJ only reason he wouldve left to do that is if he was bored in Boston,its more like MJ leaving the bulls to join the Celtics so he could beat the Lakers

[@anen9332]

@@shesbaldbutiwould Magic didn't have to leave because he was, as you admit, put in a situation where he had a stacked roster for basically an entire decade while playing in a weak Conference. Why would anyone leave that? Especially when the stacked rosters were on a team located in one of the biggest media markets-- unlike, say, Oklahoma City -- in the world? Furthermore, as point of fact, Magic was "drafted" by the Lakers because the NBA forced small market Utah to give up his draft rights. Rather telling as to the favoritism shown to both Magic and LA. But thanks for conceding my point in your reply. It's appreciated. And hilarious. Shalom.

[@shesbaldbutiwould]

There is literally not a single difference. Lebron went to Miami to do what? Win titles. KD went to GS to do what? Win titles. Lebron left CLE why? Because he couldn’t win there. KD left OKC why? Because he couldn’t win there. Ironically Lebron won 2 titles in Miami and KD won 2 titles in GS. Everything sounds the same to me. Oh and before you say he “joined” a 73-9 team he didn’t. Him joining a 73-9 team would be them keeping the same roster that won 73 games and Kd joins on a one year deal without losing a player.

Team sports were invented to build character, promote competition, and to stay in great physical shape. It was not invented to have one or even two dominating teams in a league and the other teams have little to zero shot at winning their leagues championship. Although having fun playing a sport is a great feeling to have, it is not the reason we play the sports we play. Question: Would you have more pride in winning a championship with the best athletes in your sport on the same team and just completely dominating every team you play until it gets to the point where other teams look at you and give up before the game has already started? Or would you have more pride in working hard every single day to accomplish a goal you have had since the day you fell in love with the sport, and finally beating a team that you had tried so hard to beat in the past and finally do it? For me personally, I played basketball all my life up until midway through high school (issues with coach) and I never had that much joy in dominating teams by 25+. Yes it seems fun to blow teams out once in a while....but when we did it consistently all year, the game seemed to get a little boring. I never really got excited for games anymore bc I knew the outcome already. Sports are ALL about competition. And if you dont have that competitive spirit in you, then youre not a true athlete. Max is tryna say "Where did all these rules come from?" Well max where did our unalienable rights come from? Theyre morals of a certain culture. Competitiveness is a moral of sports. No body wants dynasties in any sport other than the fans of that particular team. Having compeitition teaches people how to work harder for the things they want most in life. It teaches you that when you lose, you get back up and try again. There are no short cuts to competition. KD made the weakest move ever by a superstar. And one more point about what max said about KD wanting to play in the perfect style of basketball which he said was only the warriors, KD coulda joined the greatest BBALL coach ever, Gregg Popovich, which has a very similar style to the warriors play, just with less shooters. He coulda joined Brad Stevens in boston with their style of play. They play fast, move the ball VERY well, and play hard every possession. I know the mavs have a horrible team, but Rick Carlise is a fantastic coach. He is definitely a top 4 coach in the NBA, and has won a championship bc of his wits of coaching. The warriors arent the only team that has an unselfish style of play. So with that said, leave some comments cuz I wanna know what yall think about this long ass post i just made.

The only time perhaps when Max Kellerman showed what genius analysis is.

SAS just confirmed that Melo was supposed to go to Miami instead of Bosh in the interview they just had. This is nostalgia

[@Ghanaba23]

So Dramond Green recruited and fired KD..lol

[@cazeycroland4]

Weakest move ever!!! Could have gone to ANY other team other than Cleveland & Golden State

[@jaheimscott9757]

He should of joined my Raptors or Houston

[@MileHighBroncosNuggets]

Or clippers or celtics

[@lipan2757]

Props to Kellerman for arguing so well on his debute with such a weak stance of defending KD lol

[@DonSteve0]

yes best people ever

[@hueylong742]

I love all this talk, KD did the right thing. It made HIM happy. SAS, Russell Westbrook, Lebron James, and any of the others bitching aren't paying him or walking an inch in KD's shoes. KD's happy and that's all that matters.

[@lewistee1]

I vividly remember watching a Warrior regular season game and heard them talk about the possibility of them picking up Durant in free agency because of the cap space jumping. Durant most likely was planning on GS well before they played him in the WCF.

[@slime129]

Dam Stephen A and Max Kellerman have been doing first take together for five years, dam time flies

[@kekemarshall539]

i would definitely consider kd the best player in the game if him & kawhi team up on the clippers and lebron gets 1 more star
