He had arguably the best player in the league on his team and wasn’t optimal in submitting to him when he needed to the most

Well now that’s Russ’ team. Hows that working out? How’s that been working out?

KD isn’t the same player he was in 2012 or 2016. He’s better.

You see the poise he took that shot with last night with a hand all in his face...

You see his calm and calculated he was after... ??

that wasn’t him 3 years ago..

Russ is the same player.. fun to watch, easily one of the best of his era but that’s where it stops.

calm and collected. :mjlol:

so he left one All Star to join 3 other All Stars. have a greatly reduced workload and stress, yet he is better. :jbhmm: Did you see those first two games where Steph and Klay were doing all the work, then he just started piling it on late? He doesnt even want to be the #1 guy. Doesnt even want to do any heavy lifting. Always getting sonned by Draymond. :pachaha: Yes its Westbrook's team, and he has been carrying them to the playoffs. Golden State is not KD's team. Much easier to step up and hit daggers when you have two other offensive players to fall back on and two other guys to take the defensive assignments.

As I stated before, (so eloquently) without KD this super team isn’t in the finals nor are they up 3-0 with a potential sweep looming

Russ’ situation is archaic just like his still of play. He hasn’t grown at all. If you’re implying KD couldn’t lead teams to the playoff we can end our back and forth now.

He’s not a bettter player. He’s on a better team where he’s able to focus completely on his strengths and has no real pressure on him.

He’s a better player that’s elevated the play of the team.

The GSW retooled adding and building the team around him after they lost to the Cavs in 2016.

There has been pressure on them/him in these very playoffs. You can chose not to see it if you’d like but I’m going to show them some respect

Kobe is definitely not better than LeBron... but I respect his opinion.
