I legitimately don't recall but was there any chance KD was going to come back? Seems like he just wanted to be stamped as a champion and FMVP then was going to do his own thing regardless. I'm not trying to revise history either, I just can't remember what the sentiment and rumors were as this was all unfolding through his Golden State tenure.

keeps saying KD was tricked, but also was the one telling us that all that smoke at the time was fake news.
Adding to this, the reports on KD becoming more isolated from teammates and not hanging out as much. Basically saying the honeymoon phase was over with the team and it became more business.There was multiple stories out during the 2019 season, various quotes from the coach talking about how they had to accommodate KD need to want to iso, multiple videos of the brass disrespecting him at the parades with their jabs and ultimately Draymond incident which was when stuff went nuclear.
He had maybe already been leaning towards leaving, but GS's behavior and the injury just made it a whole lot easier. Would have been interesting to see had he never got hurt and ended up 3 peating with another FMVP what would have happened. The masses were ready to give the crown to somebody else as evidenced with Kawhi. So he would have likely finally gotten that recognition he so really wanted.
Yeah I definitely remember him getting punked at the parade and the Dray situation then after the dissension talks ramped up. I agree they definitely made it easy. I really would have loved to see the scenario you described play out - he never gets hurt, they 3-peat and he wins FMVP. Obviously I don't know KD but I'm not sure if he would have had the courage to leave after all that like Kawhi did. Who knows.There was multiple stories out during the 2019 season, various quotes from the coach talking about how they had to accommodate KD need to want to iso, multiple videos of the brass disrespecting him at the parades with their jabs and ultimately Draymond incident which was when stuff went nuclear.

with Draymond's reaction lmao
Completely unprovoked too
Not surprised how it all went down afterwards with him not messing with them anymore when they had no problem disrespecting him publicly and privately
Hank Scorpio
approach and basically called that man a baby ***** causing KD to leave. This is why you need to be respectful to your employees.
Right? lol I get 'tough love' but damn man. That would've pissed me off still lol.Completely unprovoked too

That was a pretty hard dig at KD. I get it was fun and they were celebrating but that was awkward lol.
I only memory I can recall of KD after winning was during the first parade where the Warriors' TV play-by-play introduced him as Kid Dynamite
Like KD and Bob have a legit personal beef?
Yeah, I don't blame him. I'm sure they keep things cordial when they see eachother but I know deep down KD is done with Dray lolol.
Bob Meyers went with the
The ending.
