I could be wrong, but, I think KD was better defensively back then due to the system that Golden State had. Also, he probably didn't have to use all his energy on the offensive end being that he played with Steph and Klay.

[@JLMilly]

I think he was probably good on defense, but in the okc he had basically a defensive team around him so he could focus on offense Russ, thabo, Ibaki,and Perkins.

[@calmdownbruh8518]

You also have to factor in Draymond and To a lesser extent Klay and Iggy. Those 3 made defense a lot easier for KD.

Just to their last point, alcohol and marijuana should be treated the same in pro sports. What you do on your own time is your business. However, if it bleeds into your performance on the field or court, then it's a problem. Which is why it's much more acceptable to drink or smoke AFTER a game, but a borderline sin to do so beforehand.

Pure shooter means You know what a field goal percentage right Players like Shaq, AD, Giannis, they have crazy high FG% because their game is in the paint, so the numbers reflect better percentages than you think, while people like KD, Curry, they have Fg% that are under 50% but theyre walking buckets, they shoot the ball So he’s basically covering up the “true FG%” stat with calling someone with a high true fg% a “true shooter” And y’all are trolling right, even Kobe said KD is literally the most unguardable player he’s played against, and he’s played against both KD and LBJ….so Stephen A ain’t wrong

Not to get political but there are a few reasons for me personally kne carries a stigma and the other doesnt 1) Your body can filter alcohol where as your lungs will be damaged from the other and there is no recovering that 2) the acts alone drinking only effects you whereas smoking effects those around you as well (contact high) 3) If i am not drinking i dont want someone drunk around me. So the same rule applies to being high and i dont smoke so i never want it. 4) The way I see it. I find it even weirder how hard people will fight for one drug while condeeming others. Cigarettes and Weed are dumb but if youre saying live and let live why not cocaine, heroine, shrooms, lsd, E, so on and so on.
