Deuteronomy 31 6 Be strong and courageous.(A) Do not be afraid or terrified(B) because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you;(C) he will never leave you(D) nor forsake(E) you.”
Idk how anyone forgets that people hate what KD did because he is so good. And his team honestly might have been the best between Cleveland, Golden state, and OKC in 2016, like if they simply ran it back they totally could have won. How does that lead you to join GS? Insane
I always slated his move but from his point of view, winning a ring is the peak of basketball and he went to the place with the best chance of winning so, he’ll always be a champion and finals mvp but from a fans point of view, he could’ve missed the 2017 and 18 finals and probably would’ve been a champion still with GSW
Same here definitely didnt respect his decision. I looked at him like a dawg if u know what I mean. But after joining GS I looked at him like a CAT if u know what I mean 🤣🤣🤣🤣
He knew what was gone happen he could went anywhere else but he went to the team he lost too I rather him went and played with LeBron but he went to the warriors but i still respect him he just wanted to win
KD said he didn’t leave his house for days after signing with the warriors, he wouldn’t do that if he was comfortable with his decision and felt it was right for everybody
Lebron in the 3-1 comeback was the best finals performance.. first player to ever lead both teams in almost every major statistical category(point/rebound/assist averages)
The difference between KD against LeBron and Kobe outside the court is KD is so self conscious about his image. He always responds to trolls and takes time to defend himself online. Look at LeBron and the late Kobe. They don’t care about them haters online. LeBron never responded to Skip ever since. They just let their game do the talking.
@@blackstewiegriffin I do appreciate the fact that Bron has NEVER responded to the haters, with the exception of Chuck since he was being an idiot about his comments. Fuck was Lebron supposed to do? Face the 2017 warriors all by him damn self?
"I've never seen a player dominate as efficiently as he did" Because most finals MVP'S don't get to play with Steph and Klay and consistently getting single coverage. Come on man
I honestly don't think this conversation will ever end, KD's move will either be viewed as a 'meh' move by result of the players gaining more and more control of their destinations and him wanting to win, or as a move that was a way of taking the easy way out by joining those who he knew he could have minimal difficulty with and being hypocritical to his own words of "Being competitive and going at these people's"
eventually the memory of how people rightfully felt cheated out of good basketball in 2017 and 18 will fade and what will be left is an objectively savant like talent
It's weird Lebron engineering this in Miami and his second stint in Cleveland and almost got Kawhii to join him last year. But KD gets flack for it because he beat LeBron at his own game? People are super selective, lol.
@@Kidz24 I think the core difference is the extent and the intent. LeBron went to a solid but non contender heat, added bosh, and proceeded to dominate. In Cleveland he took a below .500 first overall pick team, traded Wiggins for K Love and immediately made a contender. KD just went to the best team in the league. The nets decision is a lot better in my opinion, but it is a tough look when you have three of the best offensive players the league has seen inorganically.
@@Kidz24 kd had a completely better team than any other team in the league, lebron has never and will never have a team that can win a ring without him being there, that 2019 raptors team would have actually lost the series if klay was still healthy, lebron didn't even engineer anything there's been super teams since the league was created
KD will go down as one of the best and probably go down top 3 all time scoring. He'll probably make $800 million before taxes including his shoe contracts. Why in the fuck does he give a damn what the media or any of us think. He should laugh his to the bank and keep counting the cash and investing.
@@DavidJohnson-dp4vv Exactly. He shouldn't care. The issue is that he does care. His burner accounts, tweets to celebs, and overall demeanor off the court prove that.
@@mapthemultiverse it really does just boil down to "he shouldn't care, but he does", and at the same time, a lot of the shit he does should be in the catagory of "we shouldn't care, but we do". We shouldn't care about his private convos he has with another person. We shouldn't care that he had burner accounts but we do. The only thing people would care about was his move to the warriors, but I don't know if he gets more hate than Lebron to the Heat.

@@michaelharris1254 i remember people talking about it but the sources that came out with intel were completely wrong, you just said the clippers were never showed as an option but the reason why was because he intentionally waited till paul george was traded to make his decision which im sure he contacted pg when he was about to commit
@@moises1514 I don’t know, I think they could take two rounds in the playoffs. They’re a genuinely good team. However, I don’t quite trust Booker yet since I haven’t seen him in the playoffs yet and the playoffs are a complete step up in competition compared to the regular season.
@Matriks That’s my problem too. It’ll take time for him to grow and develop into a playoff player, but he could also be one of those rare exceptions and come out guns blazing like Luka did last year and the Suns go far.
I will always say this. The move to Golden State was courageous of Kd. Kd's best chance to win a ring was with GS. He knew he would get backlash for going. And he went anyway. Most people don't have the courage to do what they want to so because they care about what others think.
Stephen A is such a clown. I had forgot about his beef with KD. He straight up said, "You don't want to make an enemy outta me". How is that "reporting basketball"?
I love KD, I have always loved Kd because he is so fun to watch.His jumper is so wet and there is something cool to see a skilled big man. It's a real shame that he decided to leave OKC for GSW.
I can appreciate KD's greatness and I really do see him as a Top 20 possibly Top 10 player after retirement. But in the end his legacy will always be stained by his traitor scumbag move to GSW. That's not the mentality we want to pass on to future generations. So yeah his ring's mean nothing to me, but I appreciate his skill as a basketball player.
Mad respect for you. You are probably the first person to realize that there were people who simply didn't watch the NBA a long time ago. Somebody could have just started watching in their 30s.
Heat in 4. KD my favorite player but will never get the respect he deserves because he gets the hate he doesn’t deserve. He deserves criticism but not hate.
So your saying KD doesn't deserve hate for joining the 73-9 team that beat him in the playoffs when he had them down 3-1? Who the hell is gonna watch the NBA when everyone knows the juggernaut team was gonna win the championship? I had no problem with Durant leaving OKC, I had a problem with him joining the Warriors. Jordan would never join the Pistons, Duncan would never join the Lakers, and Bird would never team up with Magic. I don't like superstars teaming up.
@@vineelkesavarapu5736 I didn’t say he deserved no hate I said he gets too much hate. Totally different. Lebron deserves hate but he gets too much hate as well.
@@Whis__ I don't like the media nitpicking everything about LeBron, but I hate the media. With Durant, I feel he gets hate because he sensitive to everything. Durant doesn't need to listen to the outside noise. I think it's annoying how he gets attention because he beefs with people for no reason.
@@Whis__ I do not have a problem with him replying to people, I don't like that he replies to everything. He could just say your not better than me and I have more money than you will ever make and case closed. He doesn't need to listen to every hater. Not everyone will like him. I hope he understands one day.
You said “People who love him, mainly Golden State fans”. As a huge Warriors fan. It’s so weird watching highlights of him as a Warrior. Because even though I watched every game and loved watching him play, it never felt like he was our player. More like watching Lebron and Steph together at the All star game. Watching greatness, but felt no ownership over it. And now that he’s gone, I don’t have the same feelings I do about someone like Iguodala. Who I will love for life. Like, everyone knows this about GS fans, we will love Curry no matter what. He’s our home grown guy and has done more for this team than anyone ever before him. As for KD, I mainly feel disdain honestly, that he affected Stephs legacy. 3 years of prime Steph in which he could cement himself as the greatest PG of all time. And it’s a testament to Stephs character that he sacrificed that and welcomed KD in and never complained. If Durant won back to back MVPs and went to 2 straight finals and won 73 games, you think he’d allow Lebron on his team? Hell no. And the fact he won’t stop whining about his time in GS since he bounced is really annoying. The team was completely legit before KD. Battle tested and champions. And now that KD left and all these injuries piled up. it’ll never be like it was.
Exactly how i feel. We were robbed of three great years from steph draymond and klay. I was never a warriors fan but i enjoyed them without kd and i wouldve loved to see what they did after 2016 if durant didnt make that decision
I used to hate the KD move but now his hate makes no sense, I mean when AD left the NOP to play with the 2nd greatest player of all time I don't really remember any snake talk. Not to diss AD but he just didn't receive nearly as much hate as KD. But KD leaves to go arguably carry a team to a certain extent and he gets hate. It's not about loyalty or being a snake it's just cause he's Kevin Durant.
Durant really is the most sensitive player i have ever seen in the 35+ years i have been a nba fan. Dude needs to learn to ignore people, especially random people on Twitter. You are an adult KD, act like it.
The thing for me about KD, is I feel like it's more of a disappointment than anything. Like the man is transcendent, but he keeps making moves that 100% under shadow his own skills. His stats and accomplishments say he doesn't need help, but his actions scream, "HEY, I NEED LIKE ALL THE FUCKING HELP!". It's like, am I supposed to believe his words that he's telling me, or believe his actions? Like the Golden State thing is kinda understandable, but then you set up an even more stacked team somewhere else and expect me not to think you need a stacked team to win. Like come on now, just own it. Want's to be seen as humble and down to earth, while he slinking in the shadows like all the others making back room deals.
It’s not likely, but I can see a situation where the Lakers take game 1 or 2, and Kyrie/KD turn on Harden or turn on whomever had a bad game, poison the locker room and they fall apart, losing the series. Talent-wise they SHOULD win, which is why they get so much hate. But I can see a situation where they just can’t put it together under pressure. All three of them have the fortitude of a 7 year old.
You make it sound like LA isn't stacked. Lebron and AD are two top 5 players. Throw in Harrell and Schroeder two guys who have put up over 17 per game for years. And throw in Drummond a guy who is good for 17-19 points and 13+ boards. Lakers a fucking stacked as well.
One thing that can't be overlooked is that LeBron's teams were constructed completely around him so when he is gone the team is a train wreck without him. KD joined a Warriors team with a foundation already set in place. Imagine the Thunder if they never lost Harden and build around the core players like the Warriors. They would have been special but who knows if they would have had the success of the Warriors. The Thunder had bad injury luck 3 years in a row after they made the finals.
@@smoothsavage2870 Kobe was about to leave and go to Chicago in 2007, but then the lakers signed players like pau gasol, Ron artest, Lamar Odom. The lakers gave him a squad, that’s the reason he didn’t leave 🤷🏽♂️
Not the Biggest fan of the KD Warriors, but I hate it when people say that KD's rings don't count. Sure it doesn't weigh as much as some chip like Bron's 2016 or Kobe's 2010, but he dominated and clearly was the best player in those runs. Dude earned it
Well there's nothing he can do about it, I mean what's he supposed to do? Say no to playing with James fricken Harden? But at the end of the day, it does hurt his legacy that he will be on another superteam. I will take that criticism any day if it means I play with stars like harden and kyrie, but maybe KD is too sensitive for that, judging by the way he left GS
@@Purelyshot it's known that star players have power over team signings. KD, Lebron, Steph, Harden. Stephen Jackson also said the Spurs never made a decision without asking Tim Duncan before hand. And let's not forget Kobe getting Shaq traded
@@bilindabutcher8913 kobe didn’t get shaq traded, shaq demanded a trade. kobe was actually going to go to chicago but then he found out that shaq got traded
I mean, if youre arguably one the best scorers of all time, and youre playing alongside one of the best PGs of all time, an all nba 3&D guy and a DPOY, you SHOULD be averaging those kind of numbers right? It makes even more sense when you look at the competition that they were facing with those cavs teams
Years from now we’re gonna talk about his time in Brooklyn and how originally it was just him and kyrie and if they possibly win a ring everyone who’s not a kd or Brooklyn fan is Gonna say it didnt count either due to harden Blake Lamarcus
Name one other team in NBA history who was packed like this team with players just out of their prime or in their prime. Compared to the rest of the NBA and the history of teams in the NBA this team is just a farce. It's almost hilarious how they're f'ing up competition. It's the 73-9 Warriors with KD all over again. Dude wants to win championships, just doesn't want the responsibility of being THE man on the team and carrying a team with his greatness. Understand that I'm saying KD is great af, most effortless scorer ever, but the dude is soft, soft soft. Can't handle criticism, criticizes the media for giving him a hard time (yeah because no other player has gotten scrutiny Kevin..) and flips out on different social media accounts to save his butthurt ass. It's just pathetic to see after a while man. When he was with OKC I was rooting for the guy, but after the GS move I lost all my respect for him. Since then he hasn't given me even one reason to give him back the respect. Change my opinion if you want, I'm up for a debate
That’s not why really bro. It’s because he went to the warriors and the level of goofy he is! Bro makes burner accounts to argue with 13 year old kids from some suburban area and all the other lame shit he says!!!
Those Thunder teams with KD, Russ, Ibaka and the crew were great teams but they were never good 3pt shooting teams. I blame it on OKC's management for not surrounding Russ & KD with shooters. If I was OKC's GM at the time I'd trade for a guy like Kyle Korver, no matter the cost. They already had a defensive ace in Andre Roberson, so it made sense to add a shooting specialist like Korver. I think a simple move like that could've taken them over the hump.
Was goin thru the comments to see if anyone else caught that...people act like Lebron don't bring star players with him wherever he goes. And people try to bring up the teams records before he got there. Like it's a completely different team from a year ago. Of course it will get better with 2+ stars joining the team
@@makempay8710 yep, for instance the 2014-15 cavs with LeBron, Love and Kyrie started the season 19-20 before adding shumpert, jr smith, mozgov. Only at that point they started winning. Crazy how people forget.
@@emanuelefavero Because they only focus on Lebron, not all the other moves that go along with acquiring him. So they can praise him and fit their narrative of him elevating teams by himself. I'll never forget what happened the 1 time he left without bringing ppl along. Didn't even make the playoffs.
@@makempay8710 Yall fail to realize in 2015 playoffs the 1ST YEAR they were together Love didn’t play after the 1st series cuz of his injury and Kyrie was on minute restriction. So stop capping. Bron manage to run through the whole playoffs without love and barely kyrie playing the whole time. So yes it was basically bron.
@@makempay8710 what did love and kyrie do in the 2015 playoffs? I recall Kyrie being on minute restriction part of the playoffs and Love being injured.
let's be honest here Loyalty only matters when it's a key player that's on the verge of leaving. when the celtics traded isaiah thomas after playing his HEART out even after his sister dying i ain't hear nothing about loyalty then. don't forget that the NBA along with other sports is a buisness as well as a sport. but hey that doesn't matter when you're Kevin Durant🤷♂️
I'm a firm believer that KD should have stayed in Golden State. I remember distinctly there was a disconnect in 2018-2019 where we all felt that KD was an inorganic component. It was almost like, as effective as they all were on the court, the NBA world around them rejected KD's real role within that team. In hindsight, it's easy to appreciate the greatness we were seeing. When I think about it, Kevin Durant would have probably come back from that achilles injury with a lot of support from the fans, renewed support for the warriors as a team, and the connection that tragedy and hardship brings. Durant tore his Achilles and finally felt like a part of the team. That's to say nothing of the light show KD and Steph would be putting on this year (assuming Klay was still hurt) alongside James Wiseman. He's one of the greatest players of all time, and when need to recognize that now. Celtics in 4.
You don’t measure how good a team is without the player. It’s about how great they are with them. Warriors went down 3-1 to okc and needed all the luck to win that series then choked 3-1 in the finals.
@@felixmartinez1100 let’s be honest bro nobody actually cares about how he did it and for those who do that’s weird asf lol people were just mad because if u weren’t a warriors fan your team was fucked
As a fan of his game but not a fan of his decisions I’ve always wanted to see KD have to overcome tough adversity and come up large in big moments by himself but now it doesn’t seem like that is a reality
@@Scoobinho11 they had an amazing culture, and had arguably a top 5 player in the league at the time (who struggled with injury). Your comment had no relevance to what I said.
Broooooo I always said Jason Terry deserved that FMVP only the real know 💯💫 that game 5 was spectacular but Dirk put in work; good vid Brodie as always
KD needs to have a Russell Westbrook type mentality and say screw it Imma be My own man and worry about the haters later, that man wasting too much energy worrying about everybody else instead of the person that really matters, him
Brooklyn Nets in 4, with KD being my favorite player of all time on my favorite team man it’s just tough. To see how loved he went to how hated he is now, I get why nonetheless. Imma always count those 2 championships but it woulda been nice to see him get a championship without the cards stacked in his team’s favor. He still my fav player and the greatest scorer I’ve ever seen though so thanks for this video Swishout
Bruh if the Nets go on to win a championship sometime with this core group, never in your fucking life say that KD shouldn't deserve it because of James Harden. Who traded for James Harden? Was it Kevin Durant or was it the Brooklyn Nets? And even then you can't blame the Nets because they are just doing their job, you can't blame them for having the opportunity to get James Harden and take it.
I was literally just telling my boy how KD is the most overrated NBA legend of all time (still a legend, but not nearly as valuable as players he’s compared to)
A healthy kd is probably the most valuable player in today nba. You have a forward who is taller than some centers, has handles and skills like a guard and is crazy efficient. The only reason he seemed less valuable is because his recent teams have been loaded. I mean best believe this nets team is not winning the east without kd
@@ninecool11 🤨 bro when stephs Healthy he’s a top 3 player or 2 or 1 when HEALTHY dude the warriors made the finals without kd lebron and curry are definitely more valuable than kd look at the nets
@@ninecool11 you goofy. KD was the reason Golden State almost lost to Houston in the WCF. If CP’s hammy held up, KD would have officially ruined his legacy, Curry’s legacy, Kerr’s legacy, that whole era’s legacy. KD got baited into playing Houston’s brand of basketball and took everyone else out of rhythm. The W/L with and without KD versus with and without Curry in this very video is shocking. KD ain’t all that. His defense is atrocious for how athletic he is.
not taking away from kd he obviously had a great 2017 finals run but Bron had a better one. Bron averaged 33 10 12 on 56% fg. Kd only averaged 2 more points and bron beat him in assists rebounds and efficiency. The problem with kd is just he will never beat out bron and i feel like it haunts him
Mike Rappaport the same guy who said He hates LBJ bc he didn’t shake his hand in front of his family.... Shanon, Stephen A. And Draymond all got called out after talking mad shit but play victim
@@billpap.9669 yes he has lebron was only better than durant in 2019-20 season and if you point out the 2017-18 season where curry was better him, that is true but look at this comparison Kevin Durant: 28.8 PPG, 10.8 RPG, 7.5 APG, 2.3 BPG and LeBron James: 34.0 PPG, 8.5 RPG, 10.0 APG, 44.7 minutes per game now you may say lebron averaged more points but this man played 44.7 minutes agame and basically 20 more minutes the whole series plus kd was a clear second optiuon and was doing that while lebron was carrying no doubt lebron did amazing but kd is better and look at the regular season kd did amazing
Kd was only better in 2017 and 2019. Lebron 2018 2020 and 2021(we’ll see playoffs tho that decides it all) but based off Lebron overall activity and kd until injury I’d say its neck and neck Rn
OKC because growing up Kobe was first player that made me watch NBA and that series versus young Okc team and I saw myself routing for OKC (which they lost) and then the finals run the next yr. KD and Russ became my favorite players after that and still a Thunder fan
Wished KD stayed in OKC and win a championship there. Really enjoy watching him play, just don’t like his teams being mega stacked. Suns fan since Steve Nash era.
People discredit KD's rings because it was trendy to hate on Golden State and ignore the fact that LeBron jumps from team to team when his previous team starts to lose. He did it with Cleveland twice, Miami and LA
Thank you Swish for your content. You are one of the few objective dudes who dont have to make dumb or wild takes to get attention. People are always soooo quick to blame Westbrook for that series as if KD wasnt next to him choking as well.
I don’t really like the “KD to Golden State is worse than LeBron to Miami” narrative. Bron and Wade were both top 5 mvp candidates the year before, bosh put up 25/10. How they got there was different but the results were the same..a super team. And the other dudes on that Miami team during those 4 years weren’t scrubs
@@gambit3950 it doesn’t matter to me about the team before he was there. He joined another mvp candidate and they gutted the entire team before he arrived, & it was planned they knew who they were playing with. We all knew they would at least make the finals. So hypothetically speaking if Bron went to Dallas to join Luka then KAT joined, and they put better prices around them everyone’s picking them to at least go to (if not win the finals). It’s a super team either way. I’m not saying KD’s was any better but I’m not gonna say the way one was formed was better than the other.
I remember the Thunder losing to Golden state and thinking it's ok. Even though we blew the lead and lost we still were one game away from beating them and all we needed was one more pice and we can make it to the finals. Then I saw on the news that KD was leaving and joining the warriors and it broke my heart to see my favorite player, the one that got me into basketball doing such horrible thing . Loss so much respect for him that they and when he did win a ring with them I couldn't even feel happy for him.
As a GSW fan who really spent his whole life living 15 minutes away from Oracle Arena, I can tell you that we don't really fuck with KD, which is one of the reasons why he left. We were SUPER happy that he chose our team after Bogut got hurt and we lost the 2016 Finals, and we appreciate his services a lot, but even we don't really have any respect or love for him since he took the easiest path possible as a competitor.
Swishout really said “ He earned those Championships “ then posted KD’s Finals numbers like he wasn’t assisted by the greatest backcourt of all time .. 🤦🏾♂️🤣
Excellent video. I think a very good question to ask is how much help is too much help? It’s not a crime to play with other good players. Nobody wants to do it all in a losing effort. People like to pick and chose but any team that could sign a high level player for cheap will do it. Not just any team can find second round gems. No team is ever just a one man show, whether talking about kd, Lebron, Kobe, MJ, They’ve all have had tremendous supporting cast.
2;36 last playoff game with the Dubs in Toronto when he tore his Achilles, maybe that ritual played a part .As opposed to the Warriors organization!🤔💯💯
I appreciate KDs game but i will never accept his rings and other accomplishments. It was just such a weakass move its a disgrace to the league type beat. Great talent on the court but a really really shitty legacy. So far he hasn't earned shit.
This video is perfectly timed with the Michael Rapaport thing 😂😂

KD is my age acting like a 15 year old teenager. Look how Russ replied to SAS. Need I say more? And this is Russ we are talking about lol.
Bro I made the same comment and it's so true, KD needs to be KD end of story
KD will go down as one of the best and probably go down top 3 all time scoring. He'll probably make $800 million before taxes including his shoe contracts. Why in the fuck does he give a damn what the media or any of us think. He should laugh his to the bank and keep counting the cash and investing.
@@DavidJohnson-dp4vv Exactly. He shouldn't care. The issue is that he does care. His burner accounts, tweets to celebs, and overall demeanor off the court prove that.
@@mapthemultiverse it really does just boil down to "he shouldn't care, but he does", and at the same time, a lot of the shit he does should be in the catagory of "we shouldn't care, but we do". We shouldn't care about his private convos he has with another person. We shouldn't care that he had burner accounts but we do. The only thing people would care about was his move to the warriors, but I don't know if he gets more hate than Lebron to the Heat.

@Matriks That’s my problem too. It’ll take time for him to grow and develop into a playoff player, but he could also be one of those rare exceptions and come out guns blazing like Luka did last year and the Suns go far.
I will always say this. The move to Golden State was courageous of Kd. Kd's best chance to win a ring was with GS. He knew he would get backlash for going. And he went anyway. Most people don't have the courage to do what they want to so because they care about what others think.
And yet he obviously cares more about what others think of him than any other player alive.
@@thareelhelloagain Point taken. I was talking about the move itself. In general Kd is thin skinned and too much into social media.
Stephen A is such a clown. I had forgot about his beef with KD. He straight up said, "You don't want to make an enemy outta me". How is that "reporting basketball"?
Shannon Sharpe too.
It's Mama Durant that made him soft.
I love KD, I have always loved Kd because he is so fun to watch.His jumper is so wet and there is something cool to see a skilled big man. It's a real shame that he decided to leave OKC for GSW.
Kd will go down as the greatest player that ruined his own legacy
He was once the most loved superstar. How far he has fallen.
"Can he stop Jason Terry?" Oh the flashbacks
I can appreciate KD's greatness and I really do see him as a Top 20 possibly Top 10 player after retirement. But in the end his legacy will always be stained by his traitor scumbag move to GSW. That's not the mentality we want to pass on to future generations. So yeah his ring's mean nothing to me, but I appreciate his skill as a basketball player.
Prolly top 15, he 13 steph 12

I think you gotta look at this year’s Brooklyn Nets record stuff in context, cuz there’s a lotta acquisitions that the Nets made
And that team chemistry needed to be built up
You said “People who love him, mainly Golden State fans”. As a huge Warriors fan. It’s so weird watching highlights of him as a Warrior. Because even though I watched every game and loved watching him play, it never felt like he was our player. More like watching Lebron and Steph together at the All star game. Watching greatness, but felt no ownership over it. And now that he’s gone, I don’t have the same feelings I do about someone like Iguodala. Who I will love for life.
Like, everyone knows this about GS fans, we will love Curry no matter what. He’s our home grown guy and has done more for this team than anyone ever before him. As for KD, I mainly feel disdain honestly, that he affected Stephs legacy. 3 years of prime Steph in which he could cement himself as the greatest PG of all time.
And it’s a testament to Stephs character that he sacrificed that and welcomed KD in and never complained. If Durant won back to back MVPs and went to 2 straight finals and won 73 games, you think he’d allow Lebron on his team? Hell no. And the fact he won’t stop whining about his time in GS since he bounced is really annoying. The team was completely legit before KD. Battle tested and champions. And now that KD left and all these injuries piled up. it’ll never be like it was.
That’s a fascinating take from a warriors fan. Good for you bro
Exactly how i feel. We were robbed of three great years from steph draymond and klay. I was never a warriors fan but i enjoyed them without kd and i wouldve loved to see what they did after 2016 if durant didnt make that decision
@@dwadeisthegoat2020 I enjoyed KD and I am happy we got some rings
MANY people recognize curry as the greatest PG of all time And I rarely ever hear someone mention KD
Fax bro coz we didnt see the full potential of curry when durant joined them..
I used to hate the KD move but now his hate makes no sense, I mean when AD left the NOP to play with the 2nd greatest player of all time I don't really remember any snake talk. Not to diss AD but he just didn't receive nearly as much hate as KD. But KD leaves to go arguably carry a team to a certain extent and he gets hate. It's not about loyalty or being a snake it's just cause he's Kevin Durant.

The thing for me about KD, is I feel like it's more of a disappointment than anything. Like the man is transcendent, but he keeps making moves that 100% under shadow his own skills. His stats and accomplishments say he doesn't need help, but his actions scream, "HEY, I NEED LIKE ALL THE FUCKING HELP!". It's like, am I supposed to believe his words that he's telling me, or believe his actions? Like the Golden State thing is kinda understandable, but then you set up an even more stacked team somewhere else and expect me not to think you need a stacked team to win. Like come on now, just own it. Want's to be seen as humble and down to earth, while he slinking in the shadows like all the others making back room deals.

It’s not likely, but I can see a situation where the Lakers take game 1 or 2, and Kyrie/KD turn on Harden or turn on whomever had a bad game, poison the locker room and they fall apart, losing the series. Talent-wise they SHOULD win, which is why they get so much hate. But I can see a situation where they just can’t put it together under pressure. All three of them have the fortitude of a 7 year old.
You make it sound like LA isn't stacked.
Lebron and AD are two top 5 players. Throw in Harrell and Schroeder two guys who have put up over 17 per game for years. And throw in Drummond a guy who is good for 17-19 points and 13+ boards. Lakers a fucking stacked as well.

One thing that can't be overlooked is that LeBron's teams were constructed completely around him so when he is gone the team is a train wreck without him. KD joined a Warriors team with a foundation already set in place. Imagine the Thunder if they never lost Harden and build around the core players like the Warriors. They would have been special but who knows if they would have had the success of the Warriors. The Thunder had bad injury luck 3 years in a row after they made the finals.
Maybe if he goes back to OKC and wins them a ship then he'll be looked at differently. Maybe that would remove the asterisk?
It’s not happening though.

My main point is abt this season with the nets is why are people mad at KD for good players wanting to play with him
People be acting like he is the GM
Well there's nothing he can do about it, I mean what's he supposed to do? Say no to playing with James fricken Harden?

I mean, if youre arguably one the best scorers of all time, and youre playing alongside one of the best PGs of all time, an all nba 3&D guy and a DPOY, you SHOULD be averaging those kind of numbers right?

Years from now we’re gonna talk about his time in Brooklyn and how originally it was just him and kyrie and if they possibly win a ring everyone who’s not a kd or Brooklyn fan is Gonna say it didnt count either due to harden Blake Lamarcus
Name one other team in NBA history who was packed like this team with players just out of their prime or in their prime. Compared to the rest of the NBA and the history of teams in the NBA this team is just a farce. It's almost hilarious how they're f'ing up competition. It's the 73-9 Warriors with KD all over again. Dude wants to win championships, just doesn't want the responsibility of being THE man on the team and carrying a team with his greatness. Understand that I'm saying KD is great af, most effortless scorer ever, but the dude is soft, soft soft. Can't handle criticism, criticizes the media for giving him a hard time (yeah because no other player has gotten scrutiny Kevin..) and flips out on different social media accounts to save his butthurt ass. It's just pathetic to see after a while man. When he was with OKC I was rooting for the guy, but after the GS move I lost all my respect for him.

Well he ruined the league by it
@Splashout I agree with that. It sucks that both Dinwiddie & Levert haven't been healthy for the most part of the season.
That’s not why really bro. It’s because he went to the warriors and the level of goofy he is! Bro makes burner accounts to argue with 13 year old kids from some suburban area and all the other lame shit he says!!!
Those Thunder teams with KD, Russ, Ibaka and the crew were great teams but they were never good 3pt shooting teams. I blame it on OKC's management for not surrounding Russ & KD with shooters. If I was OKC's GM at the time I'd trade for a guy like Kyle Korver, no matter the cost. They already had a defensive ace in Andre Roberson, so it made sense to add a shooting specialist like Korver. I think a simple move like that could've taken them over the hump.

Lmao I see you everywhere 💯
This comment is old AF, come on bro find some new material
I'm a firm believer that KD should have stayed in Golden State. I remember distinctly there was a disconnect in 2018-2019 where we all felt that KD was an inorganic component. It was almost like, as effective as they all were on the court, the NBA world around them rejected KD's real role within that team. In hindsight, it's easy to appreciate the greatness we were seeing. When I think about it, Kevin Durant would have probably come back from that achilles injury with a lot of support from the fans, renewed support for the warriors as a team, and the connection that tragedy and hardship brings. Durant tore his Achilles and finally felt like a part of the team.
That's to say nothing of the light show KD and Steph would be putting on this year (assuming Klay was still hurt) alongside James Wiseman. He's one of the greatest players of all time, and when need to recognize that now.

and LeBron James: 34.0 PPG, 8.5 RPG, 10.0 APG, 44.7 minutes per game
now you may say lebron averaged more points but this man played 44.7 minutes agame and basically 20 more minutes the whole series plus kd was a clear second optiuon and was doing that while lebron was carrying no doubt lebron did amazing but kd is better and look at the regular season kd did amazing
There no debate when you’re just wrong
Kd was only better in 2017 and 2019. Lebron 2018 2020 and 2021(we’ll see playoffs tho that decides it all) but based off Lebron overall activity and kd until injury I’d say its neck and neck Rn
OKC because growing up Kobe was first player that made me watch NBA and that series versus young Okc team and I saw myself routing for OKC (which they lost) and then the finals run the next yr. KD and Russ became my favorite players after that and still a Thunder fan

I don’t really like the “KD to Golden State is worse than LeBron to Miami” narrative. Bron and Wade were both top 5 mvp candidates the year before, bosh put up 25/10.
How they got there was different but the results were the same..a super team. And the other dudes on that Miami team during those 4 years weren’t scrubs
Miami only had Wade and were first round exits before Lebron came. Would be different if Miami was stacked and dominating and then Lebron joined
@@gambit3950 it doesn’t matter to me about the team before he was there. He joined another mvp candidate and they gutted the entire team before he arrived, & it was planned they knew who they were playing with. We all knew they would at least make the finals.
So hypothetically speaking if Bron went to Dallas to join Luka then KAT joined, and they put better prices around them everyone’s picking them to at least go to (if not win the finals). It’s a super team either way. I’m not saying KD’s was any better but I’m not gonna say the way one was formed was better than the other.
I remember the Thunder losing to Golden state and thinking it's ok. Even though we blew the lead and lost we still were one game away from beating them and all we needed was one more pice and we can make it to the finals. Then I saw on the news that KD was leaving and joining the warriors and it broke my heart to see my favorite player, the one that got me into basketball doing such horrible thing . Loss so much respect for him that they and when he did win a ring with them I couldn't even feel happy for him.
As a GSW fan who really spent his whole life living 15 minutes away from Oracle Arena, I can tell you that we don't really fuck with KD, which is one of the reasons why he left. We were SUPER happy that he chose our team after Bogut got hurt and we lost the 2016 Finals, and we appreciate his services a lot, but even we don't really have any respect or love for him since he took the easiest path possible as a competitor.
Swishout really said “ He earned those Championships “ then posted KD’s Finals numbers like he wasn’t assisted by the greatest backcourt of all time .. 🤦🏾♂️🤣
Excellent video. I think a very good question to ask is how much help is too much help? It’s not a crime to play with other good players. Nobody wants to do it all in a losing effort. People like to pick and chose but any team that could sign a high level player for cheap will do it. Not just any team can find second round gems. No team is ever just a one man show, whether talking about kd, Lebron, Kobe, MJ, They’ve all have had tremendous supporting cast.
2;36 last playoff game with the Dubs in Toronto when he tore his Achilles, maybe that ritual played a part .As opposed to the Warriors organization!🤔💯💯
Lakers in 4
You spoke facts Swish keep that grind
I appreciate KDs game but i will never accept his rings and other accomplishments. It was just such a weakass move its a disgrace to the league type beat. Great talent on the court but a really really shitty legacy. So far he hasn't earned shit.
Lakers in 4. Why did I not recognize Brandon Roy?
I still have my light blue Durant #35 OKC Jersey.
KD still and will always be my favorite player of all time I didn’t like him at GS but he still my favorite player
