League hasn't been the same without KD 

Post#1 » by ImmortalD24 » Wed Oct 7, 2020 3:57 am

League just became unwatchable since his injury.. KD just simply elevates the league as a whole.. dynamic non flopping elite clutch player who backs up his trash talk.. League misses him greatly. Just sayin.

Durant is the second best player in the game but I honestly haven't noticed that he was missing lol.

Steph Curry is the 2nd best player in NBA since 2015.

Also, the likes of Kawhi & arguably even James Harden is better than him.

The Warriors not being healthy was far harder to be without imo.

Ya the league really missed a team with the 2 current mvps together in their prime, plus a top 15 guy, a dpoy and all star, a fmvp who is an all time great defender and more

Maybe people would have missed KD if he was in OKC or a team that wasn't the most loaded

I will like to see KD in BKN now with his own team. Still has a lot of talent.

Himself, Kyrie, Caris, Dinwiddie, Allen, Harris, Prince, DJ

Likely going to see them make a move too

Luckily for him, he doesn't have to deal with an all time superteam

:lol:

By your logic, Iguodala is also better than Curry. After all, the former won 2015 Finals MVP.

He only ruined the league for two (and nearly three) consecutive seasons by going to a 73 win team, so in that regard, sure it hasn’t been the same.

This is weird. Haven't missed him at all. If he retired tomorrow, wouldn't really make a difference imo.

KD was a pretender before Golden state and now he is partnered with the clown Kyrie. Two idiots - don't really see that we have a coach and the world is flat.....

:lol:

For those confused, OP's just a salty Kobe fan who 1) will never get over LeBron surpassing his GOD 2) will forever feel endless gratitude towards KD for pulling off the biggest bitch move in sports history and assuring LeBron didn't win in '17 and '18.

GSW actually became worse with KD since they achieved 73-9 regular season record.

- 2015-16 season: 73-9 regular season record
- Kevin Durant joins GSW
- 2016-17 season: 67-15 regular season record
- 2017-18 season: 58-24 regular season record
- 2018-19 season: 57-25 regular season record

Ruined the league?

Did Lebron ruin the league when he teamed up with Wade/Bosh, Kyrie/Love, and AD?

Stop with the agendas.

What's a KD?
