Man, where do I even begin with this whole KD to the Warriors thing? I remember it like it was yesterday. I was just chilling, probably scrolling through Twitter or something, and then BAM! My phone starts blowing up. Everyone’s going nuts.
First, I grabbed my laptop, because, you know, you gotta get the full picture. I opened up a bunch of tabs – all the sports sites, blogs, everything. Everyone was saying the same thing: Kevin Durant was leaving Oklahoma City for Golden State.
I was in total disbelief. I mean, the Warriors had just won 73 games! They were already a powerhouse. Adding KD? It seemed insane. I spent the next hour just refreshing pages, reading every article, every hot take. I watched video after video of analysts freaking out. My mind, it was busy.
- I dug into the stats. I compared Durant’s numbers in OKC to the Warriors’ style of play.
- I started thinking about how he’d fit with Curry, Thompson, and Green.
- I even looked up salary cap stuff – I had no clue how they were going to make it work!
Then, I jumped into some online forums. The debates were wild! Some people were calling it the greatest team ever assembled. Others were saying it ruined the league, that it was unfair. I probably spent way too long arguing with strangers online, honestly.
After all the initial shock and chaos, I started to really think about it. I tried to picture the Warriors playing with KD. It was just…different. It was going to be a whole new era of basketball. And you know what? I was kind of excited to see it, even if it was a little crazy.
Honestly, I don’t like such super teams, but, KD made his choice, a choice for his career I think.
