The fans should not expect KD to be a leader of men. KD should not expect the fans to put him ahead of other greats that were also leaders of men.

KD was not a leader in 2022 Brooklyn playoffs.Tatum & Co harassed him in 1st couple games, stripped him numerous games. After that he looked & acted mentally checked out

How can MadDog compare LeBron leaving Cavs to create a team w/ his buddies to KD in OKC going to the 73 Win Warriors? You can not compare the talent & management in OKC w/ LeBrons One Man show in 1st stint in Cle.

Man I used to love JJ at Duke but for the love of God he act like can’t tell who’s a good leader when it comes down to certain situations. He really just hanging on to players coat tail he played against or with. No accountability from him at all it’s crazy please get him off! And save that bs for his own podcast!

KD chose the Warriors because of Jerry West, over Tom Brady and other 5 teams who went to his meeting in the Hamptons house. Lebron James who got his first title in 2012 with his super team,OKC traded James Harden after that, so in KD’s mind, his biggest competitor and revenge object was Lebron James, not the GSW. Not to mention the Warriors blew a 3-1 lead to the Cavaliers in that series. And during that series Russ was eager to be the guy taking more and more bad shots. When the self-sacrifice was not involved in the team, they never gonna win.

KD’s game works best with other shooters on the court so his game isn’t limited to predictability because he only has a few go to moves but since he plays with stars who can shoot, he looks spontaneous unlike with the Thunder, his last few years, most players shoot now, so you gotta credit KD for that, he’s a goat
