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

[Rekkapryde]

This

I respected KD for leaving Golden State.

The only issue is that he chose Kyrie specifically. And still got Harden.

But him leaving Golden State was GOOD. For the league, for the fans, for the game. It's stupid to insult him for it.

The fact that people are speaking out of both sides of their mouth on this shows how full of shyt and lame people are. How you gonna bash KD for making a weak move... then bash him for leaving?

KD could’ve just Embraced the villain role with the Warriors and ran wit it on some WWE shyt

Woulda been hilarious

Nba media is so pathetic

Then add to that all the sassiness inside and outside the game no wonder NFL will always be #1. Can't wait for September that's when the real sports turn up...

he been having points, but y'all call him c00nin A because he calls out actual buffoonery

I remember when KD joined the gsw I was sport pissed because I knew Bron wouldn't be getting more rings but also because I knew KD was going to make his legacy confusing when he collected rings in the Bay. So many years later and nothing has changed with KD.

 

[Don Homer]

True but I think Stephen A is saying the biggest problem is he left Steph for Kyrie of all people.If youre going to walk away from a situation where youre pretty much guranteed rings, he needed to make sure it was a team he could win with. He shouldve went to the Clippers and played with Kawhi

leave one superteam for a slighty less super team?

 

[BlueHeffner]

Lebron’s NBA


But nikkas wouldnt have cared because the Clippers didnt beat him the year before and they just wanted him off Golden State

Curry don't have 2 of 3 rings without kd it was clear kd was best player on gs and won 2 finals MVP in his 2 healthy years


Also curry Thompson green jumped in a car 4 deep to beg kd to play with them after losing to cle in the finals


Kd never begged to play anywhere and bad luck circumstances has kept him from winning with nets

But curry in no way is better than kd outside of shooting

And he a ceiling raiser

not a floor raiser

Like kd LeBron Kobe are

Meaning curry can't carry a team he proved that last year when warrior team missed the playoffs.

He 6 ft 3 and not a good defender one of the reasons the warriors are below avg if green doesn't play.

A 6 ft 10 great player always better than a 6 ft 3 player


I say all this to say niether Irving or curry can carry a team far because of height so they both need a kd or lebron to win titles

I Kno curry won 1 without kd but that had alot of good luck and curry has the best org and one of the best coaches and a perfect system for him.


Folks just don't like kd why they say this nonsense like Steph better than him.

Kd much better overall player than Steph

The title curry win this year will put this debate to rest. He wins curry>>kd that will be facts fukk all your short nikkas can’t win it theories( I was once a believer too)

 

[homiedontplaydat]

Steph still ain't got no finals MVP tho

Durant was forced out of Golden State by the same media that now says it was a mistake to leave. One ring in Brooklyn would mean more to KDs legacy than anything he could've done in Golden State

Curry not winning title this year

I'm sorry Miami and Boston are better

Plus he clearly fallen off and won't win finals MVP in 6th finals trip

I dont know about falling off but my opinion is the Heat was the best team in the East when they got Lowry. I think they come out and take GS in 7. Possibly 6.

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

stupid take

Warriors woulda beat the warriors again twice if they signed another wing or developed barnes ...

you idiots act like it didnt take a bogut injury and dray injury for the cavs to beat the warriors in the firstplace

 

[Ohene]

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

lol youll see

celtics stay pissing away games and essentially suck at home. they play our brand of defensive basketball with stupid turnovers as well. we giving them work

Relax casual. You act like Kyrie and Love injury didnt take place in the first place. Matthew deledova started all games in finals and Timothy mozgov

thats my point casual. If ppl gon use that narrative to denounce the warriors...why cant they use it in favor?
yall hate the warriors...just admit it

a 73-9 team that was up 3-1 before fukkery had no chance of beating the Cavs...sure dumbass

KD made the warriors unbeatable (they went 16-1 for a reason). Doesnt mean they wouldnt have still beat the cavs...just woulda been by lesser margins and maybe in more games during the finals.
