    Has KD won a championship since leaving ? No. Last time I checked didn’t these same folks crucify him. Wasn’t he a big toe away from a finals win and mvp potentially. Look at the rosters he’s had truly. He was carrying a team with g leaguers and they were a top seed. In phx tell me where they’ve had a competitive roster ? How many all nbas 50/40/90 seasons he’s had since his Achilles tear? I’ll say that again AN ACHILLIES TEAR!! So the front office getting Bradley Beal instead of a competitive team is on him ? Is it his fault in Brooklyn that he was the most consistent player playing out that big 3? These narratives bout ppl disrespecting this man be absolutely insane

    All in all the point is that championships doesn’t make a player trash. If you put a competitive around nba superstars they thrive and can achieve the ultimate goal. Ppl look at β€œoh he played with him” ok what is the roster structure and coaching like ? Yall take the importance out when yall choose too instead of being consistent. He’s an all time great top 12 imo and the greatest scorer ever

    KD LEGACY IS CEMENTED AS A SCORER, but the moment you try to put him in the goat convo even top 10 all time you immediately lose the argument

    Stephen A saying β€œwin the chip, bro” like KD ain’t got two Finals MVPs already is WILD 😀 So we moving the goalposts again?? If LeBron can miss the playoffs and still be GOATed, why does KD have to carry a flawed Phoenix squad just to be respected??

    They don’t know about basketball and it doesn’t bother him, but you can COMPLETELY TELL he is bothered.

    Stephen always kills me when always so smart kd is he is a basketball genius but doesn’t know where ther the fn 3point line is

    Grow up Stephen A Smith!! Get out your feelings!! By the way, Haliburton isn’t going anywhere either!! So grow up!!

    It’s crazy how people think they can say what they want to about kd but calls him sensitive when he responds. Kds career outshines 90% of nba history and his talent and skill outshines 99%. And it’s 2025 if you’re still bitching and hating on this man joining the warriors in 2017 you severely need to get a life most of yall mfers aren’t even at the same job you were at last year

    S.A.S made that all about himself hahaha wasn’t mentioned but made it all about how big and tough he is haha. I love how upset media gets when they are rightly called out.

    You can’t interact with fans now? He been know to interact here and there, while everyone else is too godly and superior to reply to peasants, right? Kd knows exactly how great he is; he was simply educating a fan on why he’s not a failure. Y’all weird.

    KD wanted to win and hasn’t won after golden state
    Even with the players and teams he’s had after he left
    Everybody know KD played his legacy

    I think it’s good entertainment for the twins to go against each other it will do better for TV ratings
