He advertises himself as someone who can do it all but he is really overrated as playmaker and forcing them to play a lineup that could never win. I dont know why people think every forward can play like Lebron and orchestrates offense like him - he is the ultimate unicorn
KD is the GOAT Robin to a Batman. His game is too one dimensional to build an offensive around. But his ego would never allow him to admit that.
he has fooled the general media for the last 15 years and everyone just gets to realize who KD really is... His all time ranking will continue to drop as we have more data and advance data to study and machine learning to determine the real impact on the court.
Perhaps a little harsh as since 2019 he has played after sustaining one of the worst injuries a basketball player can have, which he suffered in the service of GSW playing when already injured trying to win a third title for our team to boot.
But yes he needs a playmaker, and a Suns fan posted pretty much what you are saying months ago. He demands the ball and gets it because he is KD, but one player no matter how good playing fairly exclusively as an iso player doesn’t work for whole team success. Playing dual iso with Westbrook was flawed as well imo, which I had thought based on what he said at the time was a major reason he left OKC. I have always wondered how different the history of the NBA since 2012 may have been had OKC kept Harden and traded Westbrook though.
