I am not interested in re-writing the KD era.

Warriors fans wanted him to stay, but he chose to leave for a number of reasons.

In '17, GSW fans took him in as one of our own. Outside voices made it KD vs Dubs.

The pushback was always against the "he carried" narrative.

In '19, that frustration + free agency circus created a weird reaction from loud groups on Twitter.

But reality shows that he was beloved and appreciated and wanted. Spend 20 min walking in SF and you'd see 10 people in KD shirts.

It just didn't work out beyond 3 years.

People with agendas are going to re-frame this until people forget what happened. It's already being done. They're not interested in telling the real story.

KD was just as much a Warrior as anyone else until he wasn't. And even then, still a legend here.

I'm also not interested in reducing that time and dynamic to simple narratives ("KD carried" vs. "Needed to join Steph to win").

A team can have multiple great players at the same time.

Steph was great with and without KD. KD was great with and without Steph.

Together, Steph and KD were unstoppable. That's why people wanted to break them.

There are only so many accolades to be won. Steph beat KD h2h and KD won b2b Finals MVP. Someone had to do it.

That doesn't take away from either of their greatness.
