KD did make it in 2012. And Steph has made it 4 straight times w/o KDKd did make it to the finals with OKC though and he did it with a player that actively sabotages the team with his lack of basketball iq.
His time with Brooklyn has been hampered by his return from injury and the injury of kyrie in the post season and his dumbass decisions. To put that all on KD isn’t fair.
Worse when you realize KD has been competing before Steph really got on.
Steph just made it with klay coming back from 2 catastrophic injuries, dray (who is either a good player, or a shyt tier player depending on whether you wanna give Steph credit), Wiggins (a consensus bust), and Gary Payton II (who couldn’t get a foothold in the league) and Jordan poole (a 22 year old who was the worst player on a 15 win team 2 years ago)
No excuses for KD. Without Steph he looks worse than Stockton and Malone. He had Westbrook, Kyrie and Harden
