Steph humility made him what he is recognized today as a four time champion. If he wasn’t willing to take the back seat and have the skill too, those championship never would of happen with KD. God rewarded him by him getting his fourth ring without any excuses, he had a unproven Jordan Poole and washed klay and draymond beat the dynamic Celtics. With any superstar they probably wouldnt of win that series but that was all Steph especially that 40 point game 4 at Boston he is the real deal a transcendent generational player. If you ask me who better between KD and Steph it could be KD and that’s only because he is a 7 footer with a unblockable jump shot. At least Steph you are able to block his shot but what’s makes him great is that he could shoot on the dribble and off the ball and EVERY SINGLE SHOT he take his off ball movement is so legendary he will always get a good or decent shot.

@@ArmandoKozomara I agree the sacrificed peak with no talent part. But honestly I doubt he would’ve played any better without Shaq, if anything he might’ve gotten worse. Kobe situation was more likely Klay than Steph’s. He took more shots and literally told Shaq that if he wants the ball he better grab his rebound, and when he did pass it, over half of his assists went to Shaq.

Man, all this talk about “Steph allowed…” There’s one thing I know about basketball as someone who watches and plays: everyone knows who the best player on the court is. It’s instantaneous. Roll the ball out, and in five possessions, everyone knows who the best is out there. Also, they both sacrificed. KD went from scoring 28-32 ppg to scoring 25-26. Took fewer shots, played more defense, passed more. Everyone sacrificed to make that thing work. They all knew what they had to do, and they did it, because they all wanted to win. This endless drive to put them against each other is tiring.

💯💯💯Fact no lie told. Step did sacrifices he even took a pay cut made $12m a year. Dray was making more money than him.(Steph spoke about this and Dray confirmed it as well). He did is best to make KD comfortable and he did not appreciate it. KD even gave him a dig that no one would be buying is sneakers. KD is a miserable person. Steph and Klay grew up in a millionaire household that is why they are not frighten like the other NBA players and are soo comfortable in their own skin.

[@ajaxada5786]

I think this says more about Lebron than anyone. Golden State was already a dominant team for the previous years prior to KD joining. It is quite possible that GS would have won those titles without KD, depending on how Lebron fared. Lebron is always compared to Jordan on how many titles he has, however, Lebron didn't have a "Pippen" style player with him year after year. I see Lebron as the ultimate team player because he can play with anyone and get the best out of them without humiliating them. Lebron has a separate handshake with each team member, which is also evident that he knows the capabilities and limitations of each of them. Regardless, I believe Lebron "overall" is the most dominant team player (GOAT) to play the game while Jordan is the most dominant individual player. (GOAT) At least in the last 30-40 YEARS. Personally, I grew up in the Dr. J era and he didn't play in the NBA until the ABA and NBA merged. That is my real GOAT. Check his highlights.

Steph had to sacrifice. He wasn’t the best player and he wanted KD to join his team especially after losing to the Cavs. That implies he felt he didn’t have enough to beat Bron as the lead guy. People need to see it from Curry’s standpoint when they consider Durant going to GS as a weak move. Isn’t it a weak move to go get arguably the best player in the league after you lost in the championship?

[@bikerboy4161]

That’s one way of looking at it but you also gotta consider it’s not good enough for steph to just say I want someone. You got a lot of stuff behind the scenes that take place to get someone. Between contracts, money and who has the authority to approve stuff. it’s complicated. It could have easily been the upper managements faith not completely being in steph. We will prob never know. Not saying you wrong. Just saying we don’t really know if that was steph who got KD on the team. Or if someone else just said this what we doing, deal with it.

[@Bigbizzle]

@@bikerboy4161 doubt it. Steph had to agree. They weren’t going to do that with his approval and his willingness to go to the Hamptons to recruit KD.
