dubs won 73 and a title without you
they beat you when they were down 1-3
you not gonna be the face over steph you just became an upgraded harrison barnes and blocked steph from a FMVP imo

I've said this millions of times and not out of disrespect but in terms of how roles on the team fit

He went to the man's team after losing to him. fukk he thought this really was? GM told him again at the rally.

KD really tried to copy Brons template but he doesn't have the fan base and media on lock like Bron. It worked on the court but he wasn't mentally ready for the hate he would receive and he underestimated the fans Steph Curry had in the Bay.

Curry led the Dubs to their first Championship in 40+ years only 2 years before he came, it was too fresh :yeshrug:

KD was the best player for us to sign talent wise to win chips but personality wise he was the worst player for a dynasty because he cared too much about what people said about him.

There's players out there that wouldn't give a fukk about what people had to say about them if they was winning chips and getting the max.

I thank him for his service regardless....don't know how he ever expected anyone to love him like Steph out here tho. I don't think an athlete is loved in any city more than we love Steph.

I don't understand how KD thought (according to this article) that he was ever going to overtake steph in terms of popularity in GS. Lol


Wasn’t there some story about how KD thought winning titles would put him on Brons level of popularity and was mad when it didn’t happen? He probably felt the same way about Steph. He’s chasing some status he never gonna get

I thought it was KD was going to be "happy" winning those rings and it turned out he wasn't.

I can see why he'd think that way tho. If I had his resume I'd probably think the same way. He seen LeBron get the crown by getting his rings in Miami and he probably felt he's just as good as Bron if not better so all he needed was jewelry to get his crown.

He just underestimated how much the media despised the fact that he came here. They got over Bron going to Miami after that Mavericks loss...they never got over him coming here until he blew out his Achilles and by then his mind was already made up on leaving.

yeah he thought he’d be happy cuz he thought he was gonna get the status he been looking for. When it became apparent he wasn’t gonna get it he became miserable out there.

He really didn't understand how much in the tank the media was for Bron Nationally. ESPN would never put him over Bron because he doesn't drive ratings like that
And locally it just wasn't gonna happen with Steph either, he built too much and established too much culture there. They would always remain loyal to Steph
