Bottom line, this idea that "hero ball" was the downfall of OKC is ridiculous. Guess who else played "hero ball" during the WCF? Klay Thompson and Steph Curry. Hero ball seems to work just fine if your superstars are making their shots.
Ehh there was a difference between the way Klay and Steph were going about it versus KD and Russ
KD and Russ they were doing everything in isolation and clear out
Klay was mostly catch and shoot with the occasional drive
Steph was scoring in isolation yes, but he's Steph and he also wasn't trying to score everything in isolation. He mixed it up a lot.
Anytime Klay had the ball for more than 4 dribbles he was shut down. One on one was not his game but he knew it so he didn't try that so much.
