KD wants to be loved and appreciated, yet he went to the wrong team, again.

Oak can rip Dolan all he wants, but now everything he's doing is just for clout. Not a surprise he's going after Sprewell, Ewing, Bernard now. Dude is a lame for this.

I see your point here. I think what gets lost in the discussion is that while yes, KD joined a team that beat him the year prior, he had them dead to rights. I am NOT arguing that loss or justifying his move. Him and Russ choked and W's beat them straight up. HOWEVER, he had the GSW fans shook the season before he joined them and arguably could have eventually taken them out within the next three years but instead joined them which eliminated their biggest threat in the West and quite arguably the league.

Sucker move, Beta, Weak, Snake, etc. you want to call him but he did GSW a massive favor and they treated him like a side chick

That's how YOU may view the situation. But someone else could have viewed it as KD knowing that he was never going to be good enough to take them out.

Yeah, we’re going to have to agree to disagree on this one. Burner accounts, going at it with random fans on Social Media, telling reporters he “sees and hears everything“, etc. - that kind of stuff puts KD in a different category to me. But reasonable minds can disagree on these things.

Yeah I was a part of the "KD is only human camp" but this is some extra stuff. Mans talmbout "I see and hear everything". Getting salty over Mo Speights getting love. Obsessing over how Klay is treated compared to him. Full on weirdo stuff. He and Kyrie really deserve each other.

They absolutely did, from the management to the coach to his teammates to the fans. But he can't absolve himself of the role his on insecurities and almost naivety played in this as well. Like he HAD to know a lot of this would come his way after he decided to leave OKC.

I view it as Draymond crying in the parking lot probably at the behest of Wardell/or because of his terrible performance begging KD to come there so they could beat Bron and Myrie while also simultaneously eliminating their biggest competition within the conference.

I don't really have an opinion on the matter but you are correct that is another way to view it. We'll never know since it didn't happen but it is undeniable that he took out a significant threat for which GSW fans should have been grateful.

I think his insecurities stem from issues far beyond and before this GSW situation. Maybe some writer, stan/hater or psychologist has looked into it but I would have to think it is a deep-seeded issue.

You're right, he should have expected it to an extent but as you mentioned, in following the LeBron blueprint, he chased the likeliest path to a ring which was involved joining GSW. The media/fans are to blame for the ring culture. Let's say he stays in OKC and doesn't win a championship. He would be criticized and some may not even put him Top 15-20 as a result. He goes to GSW, puts up similar numbers and gets all the hardware but he's criticized for taking the easy way out.

It looks like the moral of the story is that KD needs to come to terms with the fact that you can't please everybody.

Bingo. That's why I'm saying he did GSW and their fanbase a huge favor so to treat him like a side piece is distasteful.
 
No matter how you guys want to frame it, the GSW fan base was never going to look at it as KD doing them some big favor because that group had already won a championship without him.

And that was the big elephant in the room this entire time.

Lol sweated too much is kinda taking it out of context ..... seems more like they thought he was more awkward than an alien robot and that’s not a stretch to see. There’s some value in the interview process and weighing a dude’s personality or weirdness. The whole league was wrong on Kawhi, spurs prob didn’t even know what he’d become

But he did do them a favor and despite winning without him, Draymond knew they needed him to win. The man didn't even making it back the crib. He hadn't even started the car yet before placing a call to lure to KD. The whole team woo'd him with the trip to the Hamptons (beautiful place by the way if you've never been) and called themselves Super Villains once he joined.

KD at the time, like a lot of side chicks, was fragile and insecure so he fell for the bait thinking he'd be the number one eventually but that never came to fruition. At the end of the day, save for the fan/media love, he ultimately got what he wanted.

Bronsexuals should probably thank KD for stopping Curry from having the chance to win a FMVP.
 
Steph has never demonstrated the ability to be the best player on the floor on the biggest stage.

Out of 5 attempts.

He's 0/5.

KD or not there's no proof Steph would have been able to win the Finals MVP

How much does it cost to build a home Basketball gym inside your home?

Not that much, all things considered. Space would be the biggest obstacle because you'd likely have to build an enclosure around it unless you have a half-court or full-court worth of empty volume inside of your crib.

Sport Court Costs
If you want to build an indoor or outdoor basketball court, the total expense ranges from $11,000 on the low end, $35,000 on average and $76,000 on the high end for a size measuring 94' x 50'. These costs translate into a price of $3.50-$17 per square foot.

People love the ability to play a fun game with family and friends, right at home. A sport court might be perfect in an unused garage, detached addition or in your backyard. Installing an arena for a variety of sports is a detailed project that calls for a professional.
