Starting 5 season 2 been dope. The KD/Bron thing worked itself out at the end, they both cost the other a hypothetical championship or two by forming super teams. What will always be the biggest what-if in KD's career is if covid didn't happen/Harden and Kyrie didn't both get hurt in r2 vs MIL.
What we saw from that KD/Harden/Kyrie trio in the brief glimpses all 3 were together, would make me hesitant to pick against them vs any great team of the past 30 years, nevermind what the comp was in '21 and '22. BK probably goes back-to-back, and KD is seen as a top-8 player of all time.
Ironically, those 2 years encompass the title Giannis won (he's been living off that lone accolade ever since) and Steph won (when the narrative flipped and ppl put him over KD).
