Kobe in 09 Lebron in 16 Steph in 22 Those rings are super iconic because they feature all time greats whose previous championships were always in question for various reasons. Those rings silenced ALL CRITICS. KD needs an iconic ring like that to join the goat conversation. Until then his two discount rings will always weigh less than other’s
Draymond is right but he couldn't wait to get back at KD for saying he needed help😂😂
Every Single Statement Is 100% True… & The Funny Thing About Is That Deep Down Inside, Even KD Knows It

@@wyattfriend7360 Indeed, it's efficiency x volume. And a bunch of it (game warping defense spreading caused by that terrifying efficiency at range) can't even be adequately measured. Curry is up there with the best of them. Warriors success is no accident... It's also the most beautiful team basketball the NBA has ever seen.
"if you are not throwing yourself in there, no one else is going to" actually draymond GOATs get put in that convo by othersj. thats how it usually happens .someone like KD who doesnt belogn there has to do it himself
KD's basically been part (yes a HUGE part but still just a PART) of SUPERTEAMS with at least 2-3 superstars on them THROUGHOUT ALL HIS CAREER, and he has 2 rings to show for it. That's simply not enough, considering who he played with and the circumstances, to be in the GOAT conversation.

No. KD is in his own special category. Drexler went to a Rockets team that was struggling. They got off to a hot start of 9-0 and then went on to lose like every other game. Their defense had declined from the previous year and they needed another dependable everyday scorer to help Olajuwon. That's a huge reason they knew they had to make a move and they got Drexler midway through the season. Drexler wasn't the difference between a Finals appearance and a Finals win (like KD was), he was the difference between missing the playoffs and Finals win.

This was a great video I like how he put things into perspective. KD shouldn't be mad at this at all. It's all facts. KD is an amazing player and everyone gives him credit for those 2 finals mvps. However, what he did on a loaded squad with Curry isn't enough to put him in the GOAT debate. GOAT debate, you need at least 4 or 5 rings. Plus KD is always hopping from superteam to superteam. I don't respect shit like that. Even if he wins a ring with the Suns that's not gonna mean much. If you have a superteam your supposed to win.

Why are people still talking about this? Phoenix has won like 6 in a row. Kd had 2 40 point games but this is all people canvtalk about. His tea is doing better than lebron an steph so people have to find a way to beat up on kd
Fair enough!
KD has never had a team built around him and won a championship on his own, he has always needed help to get far in the playoffs,
When KD hears this he is going to be all in his feelings like the 2012 NBA finals
Dray u 100% right We love KD as a player but yes u got to do it when u didn’t join the best team record wise in NBA history to be in goat 🐐 conversation…period ..
I think the answer lies in the "Goat" definition, which is purely subjective
hands are huge
Opinions don’t matter over work
KD is my fav player of all time & this is 100% accurate. once he takes a team to the chip i'll b able to call him a GOAT myself
💯
KD would need to 3peat to put himself in the goat convo.
KD can be mad I heard not a single lie and no disrespect
Real
Stop putting the ad mid-video. It's a nasty transition. The short attention span people will click off the video.
Draymond should be asking if he himself is in the UFC GOAT discussion.
He has to win 2 more rings to be in the conversation.
I agree 👍💯 Draymond. Look at game 4. Steph sent those Boston fans to the emergency room
Great take, but MJ did “that thing” 6 times
KD I’d put Steph in the GOAT talk over you. I used to put KD high up on the list of greats like top 20 all time. Bron isn’t even close in the GOAT debate everyone needs to fight over the 2nd or 3rd spot. Hakeem Olajuwon is the greatest defender of all time hands down end of story. Draymond is def an all time defender and motivator enforcer. We need more Draymonds.
Seen KD score 25pts on ten shots taken
For me Steph should be in the goat convo
MJ set the standard so high that even with KD's accomplishments, he isn't even close the conversation. As Dray said people only really started giving Steph his credit after he won his last chip and finally winning mvp finals because that's what MJ did, six times. People didn't start the convo about Bron being the goat until he won in Cleveland because MJ did not go and created a super team during his time. He won championships with the team that drafted him who has never won before (nor since). KD's rings definitely counts but some rings are just heavier than the others and he only has two to begin with. Imo KD is only halfway there as crazy as it sounds.
You need a 3peat to even be in the discussion. If you’re not part of a dynasty, don’t even talk
Dray only spoke this cause of Kd saying I hope he gets the help he needs but Kd right to then if yall want to be honest dray was lucky to be a gsw anybody can pass the ball that isn’t oriented offensively u only get better at other things being dray he envy’s his surrounddings
How would KD be the vest scorer if he hasn’t scored the most points???
@aretwodeetoo1181

Because best scorer is efficiency x volume averaged over career. KD eclipses LeBron, if that's your point.
Buddy trying so hard to stay relevant but when KD was delivering championships to the Warriors Draymond was the first to get on the stage and say KD was that dude. I’m pretty sure that looking back the Warriors regret not trading Draymond when they had a chance in order to keep KD.
Was gonna leave a mean comment about Draymond but didn't wanna get assaulted so ill just say, nah he not in the goat conversation. Draymond hope you get help for mental health, gotta be rough swinging on errbody that breathes 👀
Yea definitely gotta do what Steph did for sure. Bron winning in 2015 put him in the conversation alone with dragging those players to the finals in 2018 put the nail in the coffin
Boys hate Kd cause he that great like u don’t even need to speak when hire ups give way more
I agree that KD is ONE of the greatest scorers. That’s it though. To be considered the GOAT you need to know how to make your teammates better as well as play notably elite defence. He doesn’t really do either. IMO KD as an individual player is comparable to a prime Melo. They score with ease but the other intangibles are not part of their game.
Okc he led to finals at 23 Kd did
so my question is what do u want from kd? he is one of the best and greatest scorers, he has one of the greatest handles at 7 feet, and he is an elite rim protector. what do u want?

Results ofc
All championships are championships but not all championships are the same. KD to GS and Bron to Miami arent the same. They are the equivalent to 'IF" Hakeem would have joined the Bulls and Jordan not retired for those 2 years. They are looked at as lesser championships and should be. Getting the best or 2nd best player in the association smack dab in their prime while already being a championship team is bunk. The only people who really legitimize these are Warriors and Heat fans. 💯

@@jamiethorpe5431 ummm thats revisionist history. Rodman wasnt a top 15 player in the NBA KD was unarguably 2nd best behind Bron. Rodman wasnt in his prime and KD was.

Dray you need to stop it. If you were born by the time Shaq came in there’s a history of the game you seem not to be familiar with. Talent now is no where near as good as it used to be. Rules are different. People had roles back in the day. Rodman one of the greatest players ever, would be hated today because he doesn’t shoot 3’s. Ball control was different because back then it would have been a carry or palming. If you know the history you would understand better.

He aint even close im not discounting his two chips but with all due respect dude abandoned his team for an easy win and only has done that since except it hasn't worked out for him like it did in GS.
