Trying to compare two players showing loyalty to a franchise and helping bring them to greatness is completely irrelevant to KD joining the team that he crumbled against lol. They were loyal because the team was winning. By your logic, they shouldn't have allowed a dynasty to be made. They should have left for a greater challenge. Because if you choose the path of least resistance, you're soft. 6 hours ago, dtait93 said: Bias homers will be bias homers. I love watching him play as well, unfortunately he made the weakest move in NBA history that has tarnished his greatness. Well, this "bias homer" will get to enjoy watching KD play while you act all salty. And no, this move didn't tarnish his greatness. It'll end up being a net positive for his legacy. In 10-15 years, the salty people will have moved on or will be ignored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not even the fact that he left really, he left to the team that came back down 3-1 and beat them. Largely because he started playing like turd. Thats WEAK. I'm certainly enjoying watching the best team of all time play, its incredible basketball to watch. It doesn't mean KD isn't a punk biatch for running to the team that spanked him in the WCF. He's soft. I still enjoy watching GS play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Durant ultimately made the right decision when it comes to his legacy as there's no way he ends up outside the top 20 all-time (barring horrible injury luck going forward) because of the multiple titles the Warriors will inevitably win, but there's no way those circumstances are completely forgotten. Kareem left for his reasons and most people seemed to respect it, but plenty still hold Wilt Chamberlain's antics against him. As a casual fan, I have no idea what Wilt's antics were, and I don't particularly care (short of him Darren Sharpering women in his free time).

MightyMouse07 Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 I don’t think it’s good basketball to watch. It’s like watching someone play on rookie mode constantly. It’s fun for a game (or even a year) but now it’s old. Honestly ruins the sport a bit. Sports tend to be more exciting when you have a large group of teams that can win it all. Once we get into this super team nonsense, it makes it incredibly boring to watch for about 3/4 of the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hate him or love him, he's getting everything he wanted. The whiners can whine while KD gets himself another ring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You clearly aren't understanding. Let me break it down for you Barney style. I too, "get to enjoy watching KD play." What I don't enjoy, is a juggernaut of a team that slaughters everything in it's path, because it removes any and all parody thus making these series' pointless to watch. Durant was the final piece in creating said juggernaut, and the context in which he joined and completed it makes him weak, soft, and sorry, and for me and many, many others, tarnishes his legacy. It has nothing to do with enjoying watching him play as an individual talent. If you don't comprehend that then there is no hope for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're upset about Durant's choice, so you call him names. It's weak, soft, sorry, and tarnishes your legacy. And I disagree entirely with you. There's plenty of parody.
