@TameOJ Год назад

KD is absolutely NOT unfairly criticized. It's all fair, much like with every other superstar. Both on and off the court is in the line of fire. It comes with the territory. Behavior towards media is also criticized. He claims it's unfair because he dug himself a hole too deep. Had he not gotten snippy at golden state after two rings and then continued to be so, more than likely the criticism wouldn't be nearly as bad, but it still wouldn't be unfair.

@bamboosho0t Год назад

I think it's blowback from the LeBron/media aura. Where everything he does has to be scrutinized with the finest toothed comb. Joining a team that beat his team up 3-1...👀 If LeBron lost to Golden State and joined them, we'd never hear the end of it. The criticism is fair on a micro level, but his individual greatness is set.

The word legacy is overworked and misused. Anyone talking about KD'S legacy just spits out that "latest thing to say". KD is still alive; most of the folks talking about HIS LEGACY don't know him and have no active part in it. Why do you care? Just watch him work and either enjoy or don't. He's doing his heart's passion. What's your legacy? Do you speak on YOURS? Make YOURS. Don't confuse your opinions of KD as being KD's legacy. That's your arrogance in play.

Ray Bourque played 22 season on bad Bruins teams. He was the captain and the best player. His dedication and class was respected throughout the league and community. At the time the only teams winning Cups were the Red Wings and the Avalanche. Ray was traded in his 22nd year at the trade deadline to Colorado to finally win a Cup. They failed, then succeeded the next year, and Ray Bourque retired. Comparing his dedication to the Bruins vs Durant's leaving every time it gets hard is quite different if you ask me.

It's calling Russ your BROTHER and then leaving him high and dry. Nobody told KD to call Russ his brother, nobody told KD to tell Russ on live TV that they were gunna get them next year. Nobody but you guys in the media, your friends not ours, roast him for leaving GSW. We 5 him because he said he wanted to build and lead his own team. His own words, nobody told him say that. But yet choose Kyrie to run with and let Kyrie run the show when he said he wanted to run it, which was why he was there. Now he's getting roasted for going to PHX because he failed to lead or even step up to lead in BKN, so instead, he wants to jump to a ready-made team again.

That doesn't sit well with fans, he tried to copycat LeBron in order to increase his legacy but it did the exact opposite, it questioned his legacy, not to mention the train wreck that the Brooklyn Nets became when the franchise gave a player who's never been a leader and has no team building acumen all the power they could.

Every great players in the top 15, and 10 get criticized all the time. That’s how we separate and rank these players. KD replaced Harrison Barnes on the 73 win Warriors team. Which made them unbeatable. Remember that KD Thunders were up 1-3 vs Golden State in the western Conference Finals and KD ended up choking in the WCF against the Warriors. The next season he joins the team that beat him in the previous year in the playoffs. If you can’t beat them, you joins them.

KD is an all time great player, but he’s kinda stuck in the top 15ish range (14th or 15th) until he proves that he can win as the leader, when LeBron won his 2 chips in Miami, his legacy wasn’t cemented yet. He had to be the leader AND best player to cement his legacy and leapfrog other greats. Same with KD, if he did what LeBron did in Cleveland and LA, he may climb the all time great ladder significantly. We know KD’s struggles without GSW, 2013 WCSF vs Memphis was a bad series and shot 36% from the field and 67% from the FT Line. 2016 was the 3-1 series chokejob against GSW, and then last year in 2022, KD was terrible against Boston and got swept?

Thank you everyone except Acho knew what they were talking Abt ppl say that KD went w/o mentioning the fact that the flew to KD's crib begging him to join like come on now KD was the best player on their team then and I hope he gets a chance to see them in the playoffs 🙏🏽 he'll annihilate gsw 💯

@Youngnice314 Год назад

After losing the 3-1 lead to GS his goal should have been to annihilate them. KD didn’t need them to be great they needed him. That’s why he get criticized. What he doing now is what he should have done in the first place.

@raymonddiaz2254 Год назад

KD was the best player on the team because it was so easy for him to play on an already historically great team Steph and Klay made it easy for him to do his thing because they are already so dangerous you can’t leave them open. It was a cake walk and the softest move in nba history and most likely will be forever.

@joshuabailey2335 Год назад

So I guess it was easy for him in okc to because he put up basically the same numbers won 4 scoring titles and a mvp, your comment makes no sense it would make sense if he had mediocre numbers in okc and then his stats inflated in gs

So we’re all going to pretend we don’t know exactly what we expected from KD? Being as great as he is, we all thought at some point he would lead his own team to a championship. And he doesn’t get unfairly criticized. KD is universally recognized as an all-time great He just doesn’t get the same amount of credit as he would for leading a team as he does for winning rings on Steph Curry’s team he feels like he should get the same amount of credit and he’s wrong.

@tiG Год назад

Why don't people ever think that if KD was in LeBron's Cavs team and LeBron was with the warriors, KD would never be able to win against GSW like LeBron won against them once.
