Clearly KD doesn't like to be coached. A good king is also an excellent servant. Kd worked as the ultimate closer for gsw but they can serve the same purpose with 2 or 3 swing players and always win from attrition.

@stevengordon3271 Год назад

What unlocked MJ into a big winner was buying into a system, the triangle. Yeah, that system allowed him (and Kobe) the freedom to freelance, especially at the end of games, but having a team strategy made their teams better than just their superstar alone. Basketball is a team sport.

@nrgmanifest Год назад

Exactly. Not many know that MJ's numbers were actually "better" before the triangle, but he wasn't winning Chips until he bought into the system. This is one of the many reasons why Steph is so great imo. He puts up great numbers but knew early that if you have a great system, then rings is what matters over stats. Imo players like Harden, KD, Ja either don't realize it yet or would rather put up numbers than win rings

@ewjiml Год назад

Phil Jackson literally said, “You aren’t going to be the leading scorer of the league night after night like before.” MJ brushed him off and said, “What is this? An equal opportunity offense?” Yes MJ it was. And got you 6 rings.

Another point is how passing motivates the “others” to play better defense, and get more engaged in the game. Then because no one feels left out of feels out of touch with the game they go on bigger runs and then are able to close large leads. Shaq, Kobe, mj, and all these greats always mention how they started winning championships because they trusted their teammates more.

@medinaw94 Год назад

That last scene with Kerr says so much. KD had no confidence in the rest of the team. And that's why he "needed" to go and isolate. He wanted to be part of a great team. He didn't want to build the culture of a winning team. And his first thought was to show out and make GSW look like the shell of a team first offense. His ego was too big for the team and that's what Draymond was letting us know. I like how when Klay and Andre were in a similar situation, they were very open about their wants and expectations, even to the media. He never cared about how his actions affected the team, just what the team could do for him and his legacy

@godcinimod Год назад

There's a video of Draymond talking about the play that led to him yelling at KD. Dray got the rebound late and KD clapped his hands to give him the ball. Dray saw the clock running down and heard people saying to push. So, in his mind, he was going to drive hard and then pitch it back to KD for a wide open shot. When he turned his head slightly to look for him after crossing half, KD was still at the other end pouting because he didn't get the ball right away and that's when he turned it over. Then, KD had the nerve to be pissed and say something on the way to the huddle. Dray was thinking of the team. KD didn't trust him and it cost them a win

Exactly, especially since the East is a bloodbath these days. And even if they do make it to the finals, which unless they trade Kyrie and somehow get Ben to play and have him be a valuable option, they still have to worry about the phenomenal teams in the west, like the Suns (yes, I still do think they have a championship window even with that disastrous performance), the Grizzlies when they fully mature, The Warriors, the Nuggets when they finally get healthy, and even other teams. And don't get me wrong, even as an OKC fan, I like KD. He definitely deserves his legacy in the league... but until he proves that he didn't need Golden State to win a ring, which is only going to get harder at this point, then he will always have an asterisk on his career.

At some point, no matter how great you are, you're still human. You're going to get tired and you're going to have off nights.

This is why when ppl bring up Steph's numbers (which are great btw) there has to be a caveat or context involved because Steph has ALWAYS put up great numbers BUT was ALWAYS about the team and playing winning basketball. Yea an iso heavy player like Luka, Ja, Harden, KD MAY have better individual stats than Steph at a given time, but they arent winning rings. Steph puts up amazing numbers and STILL wins rings. He CAN put up even better numbers if he was selfish and about his stats but he isn't. He wants to win and loves getting his teammates involved....yet ppl knock him for it SMH. I mean this man took a back seat to KD, not because KD is a better player, but b/c that is how Steph is. And if you compare his numbers w/ KD's that 2nd the 3rd yr you'll quickly see that even taking a back seat to KD, Steph's numbers were damn near identical. Seriously, like identical...and again this is with Steph taking a back seat. Imagine if Steph actually wanted to lead or was concerned with putting up numbers.

I don't think ball/player movement style plateaus in the playoffs, I think what happens is that players don't tend to buy into that system consistently enough. Iso ball is easier - if it's not your turn to try to exploit a matchup then you just stand around being ready to catch and shoot if your man leaves you open. Iso ball probably also feels better as a star player, as the constant control of the ball makes you feel more in control of the game. Most stars don't want to learn to be in the right place at the right time, they want to make their own time and place.

When KD said it, it was sort of true, bc the 3's often cool off in the 4th, guys get tight, legs get tired, etc. But Steph added that muscle to his frame, now he can attack the rim against most anyone, even elite defenders like Robert Williams. He hit the 3's early to get the lead, then closed the Celtics out with consistent 2's via getting a big switched onto him on the perimeter and then taking to the hole. It's a new aspect to his game that duplicates what KD gave GS. I know it sounds insane, but in a sense, KD would be redundant now. Not that the Dubs wouldn't be thrilled to get him back, but he'd be nowhere near as critical as he was the 3 seasons he was here, as he was the Dubs' closer then bc GS didn't have one when he joined. But Steph added yet more skills, and is now a consistent closer if the 2022 playoffs is any measure. Amazing.

Curry and Klay will always play to win. Getting the whole team involved, giving up a good shot to get the best shot. KD is one in a million because he can create a shot out of nothing. KD isn’t 100% wrong in that, eventually you just need to abandon the motion and get a shot. Huge Warriors fan, our biggest weakness in the 2 finals prior to KD was late game, defense locking GS down, they had a hard time getting buckets. KD was the perfect fix. If they shave 20 seconds off the shot clock and get nothing. You give it to KD and he will always get off a good look. But that’s 5-10% of the game. Steph controls every aspect of offense the other 90% of the time. The reason Gold States teammates always flourish, the reason everyone always bags on Steph for being “on a deep team” is because he is able to get his teammates better shots than they’ve ever had. Including KD

I have observed that KD never meshed well with the style of play of GSW , so he decided to leave. During his stint with GSW, KD always isolates the play to himself. This usually slows down the pace of the team, and Curry and the rest just went along with it. Despite that slowed down pace of KD game, they still managed to win 2 rings. Well, GSW is a pretty good team before KD came along... Now KD is with the Nets. He will never win another ring because of his style of 1 on 1 play. Don't get me wrong, KD is a great player and should have adjusted himself at GSW and not the other way around.

Kd didn't want to leave just Iso ball from OKC. He wanted to leave from westbrook. Westbrook was a high volume shooter with not much efficiency. What made it worst was that Westbrook basically chose when to pass the ball to KD. I remember so many times in lat game situations when westbrook would ignore everyone including KD and brick a shot. Knowing dam well he had one of the best scorers of all time next to him. Not to mention for every good play Russ had you would see one equally as bad that could not be explained.

It’s true that you still need to mix things up AND have players that can just get a basket no matter what when shit breaks down, but the system is what you’re going to run and all that other stuff is what you mix INTO it-the system remains the constant in that equation. The iso shit doesn’t consistently generate good shots, becomes predictable, and doesn’t work when the main guys aren’t hitting, whereas the system is consistently generating good looks while also keeping the defense honest.

KD's getting older we have to remember that as well. It's a motion offense because that's exactly what it is, always being in motion, and just maybe that might work for younger legs, or players that are used to running around all the time, this that and another. I think what he was trying to get at was when the game comes to a critical point, where you have to either tie it up, or go for the go ahead point etc etc, then you can't be wasting too much time running around looking for the open man. If they have the lead already then they can keep on running around, and looking for an open shot, though when the lead gets either even, or they start losing, you can't be wasting time passing the ball around, looking for that perfect spot. I have no idea what it is to be in a basketball game at that level so I'm just hypothesizing for now.

@iamtheonlywilly Год назад

I think you're right to a certain point...yes they will get older but think about it. How many guys stay on the same team their whole career? Most of them get traded so they are always fresh legs coming into the NBA. Look at GSW...Who would have thought Moody, Kuminga, would already get some playing time during the finals and actually bring value and points to the team? I just don't think age plays that big of a deal.

@Christopher._M Год назад

No, I think he truly believes that style of basketball works. I don't think he wanted to completely forsake team basketball. He just wanted more iso. Imagine being 7 feet like him and basically having a mismatch over half the time. Im pretty sure you would think that no one can stop you. If KD was truly selfish he would have shot 25 times a game like kobe and MJ did at one point of their career. Kd has never shot over 22 shots a game. As matter of a fact I remember in his OKC days when people used to say he would disappear to often. For his level of talent I have to agree. Some of it was westbrook's fault and some of it was just KD not being aggressive enough. I think a large part of that was because KD wanted to allow his team to play. Us as viewers wanted to see KD just take over games. The only season I saw him do that was in 2014 when westbrook went down
