Does Durant Have to win it all now?

[lbgreen33]

Something no one is talking about is the pressure KD just put on himself.  Will it hurt KD's legacy if GS doesn't win the championship next year?  Could you then say the reason they didn't win is because of KD?  I find it very interesting from that point of view.  If GS wins the championship everyone says; of course they won, they added KD to that team!!  But if for some freak reason they lose!  People would have to wonder if KD is the problem.  Just wanted everyones take on the pressure now on KD to get the ring now.

Honestly, who cares? Not our problem

[lbgreen33]

I do.

KD has no legacy now.  He is riding Steph's jock.  Do people talk about Pippen's titles or Jordans?

And, as said, at this point who cares.

Will anyone care if he does win?  GS was the best team in the league before he joined them.  They have been for the last two years. It does nothing for his legacy if he wins. He just picks up a piece of jewelry.  It won't do much for his legacy if he loses either since he's already traded it in.

well. i know one thing, ill enjoy watching kyrie throwing daggers at them again XD (if cavs make it). Stevens gonna be hyped to tactically defeat them

KD took a decision which in many eyes just proved him to not be the leader people thought he might have been so thats end of story there lol. They [dang]right better win a championship or else its one of the biggest fails Next free agency will be funny if they failed lol xD

[Celtic_Pride777]

I do. 

Respect....just tryna move on from our brief affair with KD

[lbgreen33]

I hear you!!  I wasted half of my 4th checking my phone LOL!  I just think KD put himself in a must win situation.  If he doesn't win it all, like someone here just said it will be a huge fail!

Yep he already destroyed his legacy... he wins he rode the coattails of a 73 win team. He loses it's an epic fail. Oh well his choice

He could win 10 titles in a row and I'd still see him as lesser than LeBron James.  He's destroyed his legacy imo.  That team was winning multiple titles as-is.

Role players dont have legacies.

[Surferdad]

Yes, he has to win it all, right now, this upcoming season.  As p---ed as I am at KD for destroying the balance of competitiveness in the NBA, let's follow his logic: 

Win at all costs and forget about what people think of you, what it does to the game or your own legacy. 

If that is true, he has to leave GS after this season and join... LeBron, right?  Oh, and bring Steph Curry with you too.  What else is there to do?

speaking, how will we react the first time he enters TD garden? XD (coz well there is the chance he could leave again the summer and make a better decision for himself lol )

I'd be tempted to chant "COWARD" when he's at the free throw line, but I think it's best to not heckle him just in case he re-thinks his decision when he's a free agent again next year.

By the way, what does XD mean?
