KD should have stated his azz in GSW that team was cheat code.

He kinda fukked up his legacy reading into his hype and wanting to be the man.

Great player but he doesnt have that dog in him to carry a mediocre supporting cast.

It’s not about a dog. His skill set is not that to uplift those around him to championship level. His handles aren’t the best and he isn’t a great playmaker. KD is an an all time bucket getter

Sounds goofy but I think of it like this:

KD is like a master swordsman. His skill is undeniable and he’s damn near unbearable when he’s in his element which is very structured 1v1 duels.

But a master swordsman isn’t the guy you want leading your army on the battlefield. Doesn’t give you knowledge of military formations, logistics, reading enemy movements, and all the other aspects of warfare.

I doubt I could name 25 players better than prime KD. His skill set is more than suitable to lead a squad without another all nba type guy.

You got Jayson Tatum’s and Jimmy Butler type guys leading their teams to finals.

I feel you. This is a great analogy.

It doesn’t disparage his ability or get on his “desire” or “dog.” It’s just not in his skill set to be at that type of player.
