The dude you linked to thinks Pop is on a revenge plot against Kawhi (no evidence) and brought binders full of Kawhi info to a public dinner with Kerr (no evidence) so he could help Kerr win the finals (mild evidence, Kerr admits Pop helps him coach after he is out of the playoffs). The last point is 100% unimportant because it is uncontroversial prior public knowledge. Its like if I went on a 10 minute rant about Elizabeth Warren being a closet NAZI and happened to point out that she was a Professor at Harvard, and also that Harvard discriminated against Jews in the 1920s (both publicly available facts that aren't related to my controversial conclusions). | ||

If you mean leaving GSW, he should. KD is all-time great, already surpassing Lebron as the best in NBA now, but he has got one if the thinnest skins in the game. Every player at his level for sure cares about their legacy, but he is unique in going to battle with it with random nephews and trolls on the net. So the popular opinion is his 2 rings with GSW have asterisks because he joined a 72-win team (although thats a shit argument from the start, for a lot of reasons - LEAST among them is how KD is badly needed by the team now in order to win the championship. If you fault KD for joining GSW, then fault Lebron a hundred times over for doing the pussiest move in NBA by ganging up with 2 rivals in the already weak-ass Eastern conference at that, to ensure a clear path to the finals, until Kawhi yeeted him again and again). This obviously annoys him and he'd want to definitively affirm his one of the GOAT legacy. He could do this by going to NY next year, or, if Kawhi murders them in game 5, sign a farewell GSW contract and win the championship for GSW next year and go to NY in the 2020 season. | ||

I honestly think the best move for KD's legacy is to stay and try to get a couple more rings. It doesn't make a difference if he spends 3 years as the heel or 5 years, he can still probably win the fans back when he goes to a struggling franchise like the Knicks or Nets and tries to win them a ring. The only question is whether his ego can tolerate 2 more years of being called a cupcake. | ||

Steph can go back to being the Warriors primary weapon and putting up insane all-time offensive numbers. KD finally seems to have surpassed LeBron as the best player on the planet but if Steph is left to his own devices and starts racking up more MVPs and rings without KD then that title might go right over to Steph.

The only question is whether his ego can tolerate 2 more years of being called a cupcake. I mildly disagree. KD has already proven he is the Warriors best player. They lose with out him, he is affirmed. If he stays, the perceived idea of the Warriors needing him hence he will stay to get them a ring is childish. He has already proven that. They lose, and he leaves, no harm to him. They win without him, then he has more reason to transfer and have a team of his own in NY and be the indisputable man! The one understated factor there is time. KD is not your, and will soon hit past peak. If he stays, he is not adding to his legacy while other teams and players (Sixers, Kawhi, maybe Harden) are getting stronger. The simple summary is he should leave after this season and form a team of his own. Heres another bold prediction: Leonard wins or losses this finals, he leaves. He wins, then he got one for Toronto, stop with this rubbish sentimental harping of him being attached to the city and team because of winning the ring. He is a professional whose main concern is having a medical team he can trust, and an organization that can help him win. It doesnt have to be Toronto. tldr: KD out, Kawhi out! | ||

Kerr looks so bad in this interview. How does your theory about Ibaka being much older than listed look now in your opinion? | ||

Its disturbing why this is a thing at all. Online trolls who bring this up do so with some dash of mild racism. As Ibaka said, Brazzavile, Congo is a modern city with modern record system. For comparison, no one will make the same claim against, say, Ginobili. For clearer comparison, Trumps birther thing against Obama. | ||
