    Its more about the fact he had the Warriors down 3-1 in the finals. Then he gets absolutely destroyed in a insane comeback. And instead of getting in the lab to get better or go to ANY other team. He decides to join the same 73-9 team he just lost too. No real basketball fan will ever respect that it ruined his legacy forever. Draymond, Bob Myers & Kerr reminding KD they didnt need him he was a luxury at every turn just made it worse for his psyche

      You can't even point to anything or anyone he's leading. That's sad. He hasn't led anyone to a chip. He hasn't led his teammates to be better (they tend to leave him). He hasn't led any special stats like most 3's or highest scorer, etc. For a guy who y'all fanboys hype as the best player or the best shooter, he has no accolades except the 2 chips GS gave him. Take those away and he's just a talented guy who didn't get anywhere... matter of fact, without those he's Charles Barkley. That's why this stings him so much.

      @@MagicEmpireTV Everyone leads by example. That's the lamest leader excuse ever. Is Carusso a leader then cause he works hard? Isn't he leading by example? You can't be a leader, you have to be THE leader of the team. Durant has said himself he just wants to play, and everything else is managed by THE leader of the team. In OKC it was Russ. In GS it was Steph. In the Nets I could argue it was Kyrie, which is why the whole thing failed. Top 50 is about talent, not leadership, cause I'm pretty sure Harden was there and he's not a great leader. He didn't lead OKC to the finals, he was their best player, but Russ led that team. He also was only the best player in GS for a few playoff games. Mostly due to teams focusing on stopping Steph or if Steph was injured. But he didn't lead those championship runs. Everyone in the Org knew it. And no, players don't normally come out and call others out, but we can see it from the results. OKC everyone scattered. GS he got into it with Dray and others from jealousy. In Nets the whole team imploded and he did nothing to fix it, except threaten to leave or have the coach and GM fired. Stop the excuses, and look at reality.

      Why would it hurt him when they won? They recruited KD for Lebron (who they lost to last postseason). They didnt recruit him for Jayson Tatum because Jason Tatum aint Lebron. The Warriors are 1-2 against Lebron without KD.
      They only got the 1 win because of injuries and everybody at that time never believed GS would've won otherwise. There was a segment on First Take titled "Did the Warriors win or did the Cavs lose" because of that. Then they proved everybody right after getting back to the finals and losing to Lebron's Cavs.

With KD warriors were unbeatable, but warriors could have won with alot of other players instead of kd, and they absolutely proved this when curry got his 4th chip. Remember with harrison barnes the warriors lost to lebron in 7 games, and in the game 7 they lost in the final 2 minutes of the game.

The thing is that anyone nowadays thinks is correct with ZERO foundation or grounds to start a conversation, and create dumb narratives; the softest move after LeFraud went to Miami is KD's, he's got his a** whipped in the WCF and next season you go and join the one that f**'d you in the A**... How softer can you be?. ZERO LEADERSHIP... ZERO. Everyone knows the "leader" of GSW is Curry... That's it.

You expect the Greats to be larger than life, not followers or people who run when it gets tough. To even make it to the NBA and become great it takes a special talent and will, you don't expect to see that guy running away from the battle.

      He wouldn't have exposed himself. Dude left, and that team won another chip. While his Nets were in disarray. Then he left the Nets, and they instantly got better with their roles players. The only cop out you have is "leading by example" which is just nonsense cause then everyone is a leader since everyone leads by example. KD's example is what? Choking the the finals, jumping ship, having bad friends, making bad decisions, running away, not listening to coaches?

    KD said all that needs to be said about it. The media is trying to make a story about how this man chooses to live his life and present himself. And I can personally relate to KD. I'm as introverted as they come. I don't like to speak if I don't have to. But I've been promoted to many times in my job because the people close to me, the ones that matter, can see the leadership I bring to my team. It's not obvious to anyone who doesn't work directly with me but the effort is there in the way I choose to make it. For people to continue questioning KD because he doesn't present himself like Steph or LeBron is nonsense. And it's not that these guys have this opinion, it's that they keep pushing this narrative after year. He made that statement in 2017 because of this exact same bullshit and here we are 6 years later still banging that drum. Stop.

The key qualities of a leader is the ability to point and direct others toward a common goal or aspiration and that requires you to have superior communication skills. Lead by example?
