I don’t think 2 rings is a failure in any context 🤷🏾‍♂️ you can definitely say his career outside of golden state was a failure but including GS, he had two rings and 2 FMVP, being labeled a failure is CRAZY

[@T.H.E.O.R.Y.]

No. KD couldn't have possibly underachieved, not when he had to face an in prime superteam-backed LeBron James, an undead Spurs dynasty that simply wouldn't go away - until KD and company put them away for good, something they *never* get credit for - and an out-of-nowhere dynasty to end all dynasties in Golden State. Not to mention Bron hopping back to a sub-elite team in Cleveland.

[@yohaha]

The biggest failure is, 10 years after KD retired, when people make videos about KD, probably 70% - 80% would be around these drama and how snow-flakey he is. If people remember you more of outside stuff than basketball, as a basketball player you failed.

I think what Shaq tryna say is KD is a failure due to him not being able to lead his team to a chip outside of playing w/ the best team. Also, that KD didn’t necessarily have to do much because he already had the best players around him and he couldn’t do it w/o them, basically saying he didn’t earn his titles by hard work but just being with a team that was bound to go to the finals again be cause they went the previous year.

[@damariohiggins6301]

That’s the thing that makes it weird because we can just say “We don’t respect KD decision”because the failure thing really just centers around that. I mean he is a for sure HOF and probably top 3 or 5 SF all time which some even gave him that before joining GSW.

KD overachieved. People thought he wouldn’t last due to his frame and he revolutionized the sport as a power forward with shooting guard like skills. He has an accomplished resumes as well. But if you want to say that he has had several disappointing moments, his move to GS was weak and he needs a chip to validate his place as a borderline top 10 player of all time I agree. He is still top 15 all time that is not a failure of a career.

"Without pride" - spot on. That's why instead of "outright failure" it's an "abject failure", and people arent understanding that. The fact that he sits on top of those Golden State rings like he overcame some insurmountable challenge is exactly what I'd call devoid of pride as a competitor. And that's not even addressing the leadership side of things, where his career moves have implications that only James Harden can make worse. He does nothing as a leader and jumps ship when things look bad. People argue over who the leader was in Golden State, but he was never in the discussion. Draymond Green was the best answer followed by Steph and Iguodala till his spine evaporated. KD was a "hired mercenary"
