Yea only way he fixes what he broke would be him reuniting with OKC. Not sure this ever happens but it’s the best chance he’s got. Many circles speak that he’s trying and wanting to do just that. Would OKC welcome him back after what took place on that 4th of July all Oklahomans will never ever forget? As a Oklahoman as a DIEHARD OKC fan I was and this community was CRUSHED, I think time heals all wounds and 95% of these fans would cheer him back while the other 5% would be back on board shortly. Imagine KD’s career being rectified… he’s such a great so I cheer for it! #thunderup

@wakkawakkagaming3710 3 місяці тому
Honestly the part of the move that really fucked with his legacy is the 2018 Finals. People forget, but there was a lot of hype for that finals, the narrative was perfect: GS up 2-1 on Bron in rings, his probable last chance as a Cav to beat them again. The Warriors, having redeemed themselves last year, looking to cement their status. Bron was also on possibly his best playoff run every, absolutely destroying teams puttin up 40-10's on the reg. And then the Warriors just mopped em. This wasn't like Bron's first finals when it was "oh well the Spurs are good and the Cavs are bad, is what it is." This was a top tier Bron on a rampage and it just didn't matter because that Warriors starting 5 is basically the most talented ever. And that's when KD winning really stopped being impressive and started feeling cheap. That's when it stopped being "he's great" and started being "the roster's great." Ironically he actually did a lot for Bron's legacy by going there too. Sure, he still gets endless shit for losing, but he gets the least shit for 2017-18 because even his haters know that the deck was stacked egregiously. He also forced a lot of reconsideration about ring culture, and guys like AI and Barkley and Reggie Miller have gotten more shine because of it. KD really forced us to consider whether the ring is more valuable than the struggle.

For your second paragraph, I think you are talking about the Mavs v Heat in 2011 as Bron’s first finals, not Spurs v Cavs, and if so, I agree. I believe the biggest detriment to Bron’s entire career and legacy was his loss to the Mavs in 2011. It was an all-time choke-job on the Superteam Heat and Bron’s part. But 2018, it would have been nice for Lebron to win, or even win a single game during that finals, but I would argue the 2018 run improved his legacy, not hurt it, as he was playing with a bunch of bums (I’m looking at you J.R Smith), with his best player alongside him being Kevin Love, going against possibly the greatest team ever constructed (that or the 96 Bulls), when the time Bron played during the playoffs that year before the Finals was incredible, especially Lebronto. I honestly think my least favorite finals of all time is 2018, because it genuinely felt insulting to not just Lebron and Cavs fans, but basketball fans as a whole to have it be a sweep and blow out. While I feel kinda bad about KD’s 2021 playoff stint, I still struggle to this day to feel bad for him or the Warriors being in bad situations right now, call me a hater all you want.

Imagine CP3 and James starting (as they did 2017-18), and then the opposition gets punched in the face when their stars are resting (along with James/CP3) and their bench has to face KD/Kyrie.... they win a 4Peat before anyone gets hurt....

Only fans in 2017-2018 who were happy were the Warriors fans. Thats it. Tbh though I watched almost all their games and it was like a cheat code. 2015-16 Warriors played great basketball and dominated because the league could not counter them (besides the Cavs). 2017-2018 Warriors looks straight up effortless. Double KD? Curry 3. Double Curry? KD 2 or 3. Single cover either of them? Whole Warriors squad was feasting.

@bartomiej9807
@bartomiej9807 3 місяці тому
@@Lildirt15 There was interesting discussions and materials that can prove you wrong. What is a very similar pattern in all KD's failures - he crumbled under big stress when he was to do everything by himself. He simply is not a alpha leader player. So playing with Steph, who was often doubled and playing within system that utilised all great shooters as a screeners he blossomed. If you lose Steph on screen it was automatic 3p attempt. And he is damn good at making them, especially when not heavy contested. So you had to focus on Steph literally from halfcourt. Then there is Klay, who is the streakies shooter in the league. By miles. When he is hot he is more dangerous than Curry (or was in years with Durant). You can't leave him open either. And then you run offence through Draymond, so there are always 3 great shooters trying to set themselves free. It was near impossible to cover them all the time. And because KD was relaxed he was able to play with his pace. He is scoring machine no doubt about it. So he was allowed to play some of his beloved ISO. And it mashed well with the system, fluently changing from a team effort to simple, yet effective points. And he is extremely physically gifted, basketball wise. Long, dynamic, with good vertical, good speed and good all around coordination (which is rare among that tall players). But when KD left GSW to show the world he is the alpha dog he hit the wall. All the space and rhytm he had vanished.There are some finesse players, who dislike physical game and contact. KD is not Shaq to force contact and dunk over anyone (despite having similar reach to Shaq and nice vertical). And injuries started to affect him mentally too. If you suffer a major physical injury it changes you mentally too, believe me. It cracked Karl Malone in his LA days too.

I always thought KD had one foot out the door already and then his verbal altercation with Draymond was the final nail in the coffin for him to leave. That’s why I never really truly bought into the narrative that Draymond “chased him out” of Golden State like many others believe.

KD already knew he wasn’t going to stay in Golden State because the media and NBA fans weren’t accepting him as the best, even after winning 2x Finals MVPs. A third Finals MVP wouldn’t help his case and he knew it. Draymond knew this too which is why he said leave.

Yeah KD went to Golden State and thought they would treat him like Steph, then he realized everybody obviously sees Steph as the team leader and face of the Warriors (Obviously). It's kind of strange how he went to the Warriors and was surprised by things like Steph getting the glory, people not forgottening the circumstances he joined the team with, people not taking his plastic rings seriously, etc. He went to the Warriors with a ton of wishful thinking

His move definitely made all of us reconsider legacy, ring culture, and the 🐐 conversation. I think having a ring is amazing, but if you earned it the way he did...it made the value of those rings...not worth it. I am still left with the need to see him get a ring outside of a super team to feel he earned it. I want to see him in an OKC like team, an underdog, because he was in an underdog team, yet he left to join a super team that had their own legacy established. He is an amazing player but he is not on the GOAT conversation yet, he has not earned that, two rings are not getting you into that GOAT conversation.

I think the most tragic part about KD's legacy is going to be that his choices ruined teams that you wanted to cheer for regardless if you were a fan of them or not. Everyone liked the Thunder back then, let's be honest. Warriors were great before KD but they didn't garner anywhere near the amount of hate they did with KD or even now. Brooklyn had a really nice thing going on with that young core of players and once KD and Kyrie got there everything went to sh*t and it became a toxic wasteland nobody wanted to be a part of. Suns... well, Booker and CP3 have never been the most likeable stars and their attitude before winning anything rubbed pretty much everyone the wrong way so KD joining them was sort of fitting. In a way I think we all should thank KD because he showed that comparing yourself to others is a very quick way of making yourself make bad decisions. Yes, had he stayed in OKC he would have been #2 behind LeBron and maybe never win it all but at least he would be synonymous with the city and franchise. Now he'll be more of an afterthought with no real home for his legacy, despite being first ballot.

He simply couldn't stay. I think Draymond, in a fits of rage, told him how everyone felt about KD and his move, and deep inside, even KD knew that was a shitty thing to do.

Let's remember that OKC wasn't good enough to win a championship. Westbrook wasn't a good shooter, so KD had to shoot the ball a lot. In my opinion, KD was and is the best starting role player in the history of the NBA. KD is an anomaly with a tall skinny body like Bird, but not quite having the skills of a guard. He wasn't heavy enough to be a legitimate post threat, so he took many, many jump shots. He is an extremely skilled role player because he shoots so well. He is not a great passer, and his lack of weight hurts his rebounding and post game.
