Oakland born here I’ll always root for the warriors even thou there not my team but if I’m being real KD isn’t coming back as long as draymond is still there
San Fran born here. Warriors should toss draymond at this point. What makes the warriors good is the actual org and how they develop talent, Kerr and curry. That’s the foundation; draymond and even klay to some degree are dispensable
KD thrived in Warriors system simple as that. Plus he had another superstar in Curry that doesn’t have ego and let him shine, the result 2x 💍 2x FMVP. That DEATH Lineup is scary af. Would have won 3peat without injuries to Klay and KD.
1 million percent agree. It was the perfect fit. And Steph could've been the type of guy to say, "you coming here, you gotta get in line behind me." And nobody would've faulted him. Back to back MVP, champion, Steph would've had every right to tell KD to take a step back. But that's not who he is. Steph Curry was willing to give up some of the best years of his career and some of his best chances for more MVPs to add KD and integrate him.
@@saadatkazi1536 I was a okc fan at the time and I was happy for him after all he did for the orginization I was thankful to watch him play on my favorite team
KD N OKC BLEW 3-1 LEAD IN CONFERENCE AND KD JOINS THAT TEAM THE NEXT YEAR EVEN THOUGH OKC IS STRONG ENOUGH TO BEAT THE WARRIORS, WEAKEST SHIT I SEEN 👎🏾
In my opinion durant is one of the most talented players to ever live. He’s a 7 footer with the ability to shoot 3s and dunk and more also my favourite player to watch as he is just so entertaining
Watching these and OKC highlights really reminds me that as good as Durant has been since coming off his Achilles tear, his athleticism has really diminished. Prior to his injury this dude could attack the rim at will and due to his length could dunk on almost anyone. These past two seasons, he barely attacks the rim, and when he does, he doesn't seem to have the same lift as before.
Yea I’ve noticed it too he relies a lot more on his shot creation and shooting ability since he came to Brooklyn rather than taking defenders off the dribble and dunking at will
Not for the 21-22 season I thought the same thing he was just getting his legs under him. This past season dude was dunking on ppl, attacking the rim and running the floor for blocks
@@jrfirefiher shut the fuck up He said something then I said that we wouldnt have won the 5 rings and explained (I dont remember what I said) And he probably realised what he said was stupid so he deleted everything I said I was a warriors fan because i wasnt a hater im just honest
@@bme4449 So you telling me that moving to a team that went 73-9, that you just lost to in the playoffs, that have 3 all stars + iggy who was still a beast is a good move that we love to see in a competitive sport?

@@Dennis.L As the Warriors detractors ROUTINELY say: 73 "don't mean a thing if you don't get that ring". As the Warriors detractors ROUTINELY say, don't bring up injuries to Curry or Bogut, don't bring up the Draymond Green suspension, those are EXCUSES. The Warriors lost in 7, DEAL WITH IT. And then for good measure, the Warriors detractors say "By the way, the 2015 championship only happened because 2 of the top 3 Cavs missed all or most of the Finals". Okay, well, fine. In that case, KD joined a 2nd place team, full stop. That's what he did. He joined a team that wasn't good enough to beat a healthy Cavs team, and he turned them into back-to-back champions. The detractors have to pick a side, they don't get it both ways. 73 can't "not mean a thing without the ring" in one breath and then suddenly be brought up when it's time to pile on KD. No, KD joined a 2nd-place team that couldn't get it done, and then got it done. And "that you just lost to in the playoffs" is a braindead non-issue. The Warriors and Thunder had no rivalry history. It's not like if Jordan joined the Pistons or something. The Thunder weren't even supposed to beat the Spurs. But it's not somehow worse that before going to the Warriors KD's Thunder won an additional series and lost to the Warriors instead of losing to the Spurs. That's not even a thing. It's just a non-point one whiner brought up and then other whiners latched on to.
You are dumb. A move doesn't define a person as great. It's how you perform. Kd was an all time great in his years in okc first. Gs just added on to the resume.
Nets big 3 have played 5 games together and are 4-1 only losing the first game together in double ot. Their chemistry is fine but their interior defense is weak.
Um the nets legit woulda prolly lossed like 2 maybe 3 games throughout the entire playoffs when they barely even played together throughout the regular season.
I missed a lot of great moments not watching the warriors were there bc of KD but people gotta learn to respect greatness bc things like this don’t happen often some great basketball was being played
Didn’t watch any of this video. Just came here to say these specific years of NBA basketball will forever have an asterisk next to them because of this man
I always forget and it seems weird to to remember that KD played with the Warriors. It's just crazy to remember he played for the warriors and curry, Klay, and dray.
You can crap talk me all day but in any era there was no team in history thatll beat this team healthy in 7. I hated every bit of it because there was no challenge but I cant lie this team was godly.
Lebron has been the best player on the planet since 2007. Only year that changed was when he got injured and missed 80% of the season. As long as Lebron is playing, kd won’t be the best player
KD is such a talented and skilled man, he is very good at dribbling and what makes him special ks if your so tall it'd difficult to dribble and if you so tall it'd be also dfficult to shoot and KD can defend, shoot, handle the ball very well, rebound, assist, dunk, crossover, guard etc. despite being 7'2.
real fan enjoy this guy playing in every single team than can appear... other guys ''BUT HE CAN'T DO ÑIÑI WITHOUT THIS GUY'' pfff enjoy this great player. I'm a dub and I'm not even mad at him like wtf hahaha. such a great player
