It even got to a point where in the finals Golden State actually needed KD, they couldn't be that Raptors team without him. As I recall, Steph and Klay did a couple of things here and there, but when it mattered most, those two weren't no where to be found. Plus, those two are arguably besides KD, are in top 5 best shooters. And they couldn't get it done without KD.

[@markanthony3011]

The utter disrespect max constantly gives kd man 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@sweetyd]

Obviously KD is the either the 1st or 2nd best player in the league with LBJ. Thats not even a debate. However, I think what Max is trying to say (or should be saying) is those other players are almost as good, and MUCH more valuable to their team. The Raptors are not that great without Kawhi. New Orleans is terrible without AD and so on. Take KD away form the Warroirs and they are still a good team. Take Curry away and they struggle (proven even season when Steph gets hurt, they lose). So, of course KD is a better all around basketball player than those guys they mentioned, but he is not as valuable to the team.

[@01tshepo]

But that's not what he said he said AD is a better offensive player than KD which is absolutely ridiculous, and he said Kawhi is better cos KD is only a little bit better offensively than Kawhi which is equally ridiculous the guy can score from ANYWHERE.. Max is making the argument they are better players, he even mentions Giannis as a better player.. I get what u are tryna say but that is not what Max was tryna say at all

Love Trumps Hate i agree but he’s very close with Leonard and curry like it’s understandable if people pick Leonard or curry over him cause they are all great in different ways and can valued in manners others couldn’t so i feel like it just based off of what type of team you would want to build and what you have if you had to select who in your eyes is better

Ignoring career stats and accomplishments, like Max is saying, Lebron is the one who is not a top 5 player right now.
