If Dray never plays again and Kuminga turns into Jalen Brown the Warriors will be OK

Looking back, Steph was better than we realized. The toxicity of KD + Draymond was insurmountable but he did.

It's mostly just that Durant's career overlapped so much with LeBron. Just completely overshadowed and slapped around by somebody way better than him.

Curry probably the GOAT of all time if we're just talking pure skill. He's the GOAT sub 6'5 player.

Put Curry's skill in LeBron s body and you have a video game cheat code level player.

Kings got worked by a Boston team that went OT yesterday and was without Tatum

If Presti doesn't panic trade Harden, Durant would (probably) have had 2+ rings at an age at which Lebron and MJ had zero.

I don't even like KD. But I understand how everyone's fate regarding rings is inevitably tied into a bunch of stuff over which the player has zero control.

The OKC rings stuff is whatever because he equally lucked out that the team that drafted him luckboxed 2 MVP's on top of that as they got rid of the better one before his prime years

It's more indeed the fact his best years were wasted by Russ. there was that one year iirc where Russ was injured most of the year and he won MVP

His defense in GS was tremendous when he got to carry less of a load on offense

It's hard to feel too bad for any negative variance KD has had in his career when he won 2 fake rings that most people seem to count as real rings for some reason.

League Pass Alert: Utah @ Detroit

Detroit is on a historic 24 game losing streak and Utah is on the 2nd night of a B2B with 8 (eight) people listed as OUT on their injury report.

28 is the record, the sixers in 2015

Best tools ever is the definition of goat potential. Loser mentality is what separates KD from Lebron and MJ, not talent.
