Stephen A. Smith: KD will be remembered as the dude who left Steph Curry for Kyrie

[Saint1]

I don't think people will remember the Nets.

People barely remember when they were good in the 2000s

I’ll remember KD more for leaving OKC to join the Warrior team that he should’ve beat.

Facts. The biggest shame of it all was if OKC ran it back the next year, not even including the rumored signings to beef up the roster, but OKC likely would have ran through the league again and been in a position to win it. The 3-1 choke required skill to pull off. Lock in for an offseason and they get one of the most meaningful chips in league history.

I’ll remember Durant for being an all time great and probably one of the best scorers I’ve ever seen.

Thats the only thing Ill remember him for. One of the greatest scorers and players ever, that’s it.

If he wins in Brooklyn all of that goes away. We know how this shyt goes. It’s on him. LeBron has won four titles as the main guy in three separate cities and situations, and he still gets questioned after random games in the regular season.

Didn't Stephen A call Durant going to the warriors a "coward move" or "weak move" or something along that line?

Now he goes and tries to build something that is his he getting killed for that too?

However I do feel Durant should stayed with the warriors ran the rings up and laughed at the league in the process. He took what lebron did and doubled down on it and should have tried to get 7 rings.

If Warriors win this chip, KD's all-time status plummets. Such a stupid decision. Kyrie of all people? You not jumping ship to play with Giannis or Luka or something? Kyrie????

 

[Apprentice]

U guys in your heart of hearts don’t see basketball as a team game

 

[Juggalo Fred]

KD will be remembered as the dude who shouldn't have went to Golden State in the first place

 

[BigMoneyGrip]

They aren't beating the Celtics this year, so we don't have to have that discussion.

Let me quote this so I can flame the trash out you when dubs do win

- "If the Golden State Warriors advance to the Finals, unfortunately people will remember KD as someone who left Steph Curry for Kyrie Irving, more than they'll remember his championships"

- "You had a structured environment, where all you had to do was ball, with no drama, nonsense, or distractions"



Can't lie, he has a point

Jesus.......


But I mean....he kinda ain't lying

 

[Rekkapryde]

He has a point, but it's disingenuous as hell considering that he and others essentially gave KD shyt over the years and helped contribute to him leaving. As I will say once again, people need to pick a KD/GS stance and stick with it. You gave him shyt when he was there and you're still giving him shyt now that he's not.

You either wanted him to stay or you wanted him to go elsewhere. Playing both sides come off as hypocritical.

[Gritsngravy]

He will remembered as a hall of famer, one of the best scorers of my life time
And what started sas downplaying kd on tv cause it wasn’t always like this

 

[broller]

Warriors don’t beat Lebrons Cavs without KD. KD prevented Lebron from tying MJ in rings

Why do you feel LeBron would have tied Jordan if KD weren't there?

 

[fifth column]

People will remember KD as one of the top players of his generation. SAS on the other hand will be remembered as an annoying loud mouth shock jock
