Has KD won a championship since leaving ? No. Last time I checked didnāt these same folks crucify him. Wasnāt he a big toe away from a finals win and mvp potentially. Look at the rosters heās had truly. He was carrying a team with g leaguers and they were a top seed. In phx tell me where theyāve had a competitive roster ? How many all nbas 50/40/90 seasons heās had since his Achilles tear? Iāll 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 doesnāt make a player trash. If you put a competitive around nba superstars they thrive and can achieve the ultimate goal. Ppl look at āoh he played with himā ok what is the roster structure and coaching like ? Yall take the importance out when yall choose too instead of being consistent. Heās 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 āwin the chip, broā like KD aināt got two Finals MVPs already is WILD š¤ 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??

Itās 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 itās 2025 if youāre still bitching and hating on this man joining the warriors in 2017 you severely need to get a life most of yall mfers arenāt even at the same job you were at last year

You canāt 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 heās not a failure. Yāall weird.
