Legacy doesn't drive Steph. Championships and the lofting of trophies drive Steph. Legacy is not something he's in control of, he's only in control of his own play. Steph's smart enough to know there's no point caring about the things he can't control. He can control what he does on the court, he can't control what people say about it after the fact.
Championships, excellence, and staying with one team are all bound up in legacy.
Others will be responsible for shaping his so-called legacy. It's always been that way and always will be.
Steph should keep his focus on the court and led Bob Myers handle the rest.
Strictly speaking a legacy is a gift. The idea and emphasis put on other people shaping and being responsible for a legacy therefore strikes me as off. Although the recipients of the gift will bear responsibility for it once given, the one giving the gift is the one primarily responsible for the nature of it.
I'm not comfortable with your last statement given the context. Steph has agency. If he has confidence in Myers then sure what you say makes sense. But if he doesn't, sitting back and accepting whatever comes his way would be a failure to act on his part for which he will need to take responsibility eventually.
