But on the flip side KD ain't got no loved ones or any kids.

You think he'll still be respected if he wins 4 more? Will he feel anymore fulfilled?

If KD has 5 rings and finishes top 5 in scoring all time we're going to have to start mentioning him amongst greats like MJ and Kareem going forward...

We've built enough of a sample size the last 4 seasons with & without Kevin Durant, The Warriors still can't score without Curry on the floor. Its totally fascinating to me.

In the past 8 games without Curry, the Warriors have an ORTG of 105.4 (that would be good for 16th in the league).
Warriors ORTG pre Curry's injury on December 4 is 117.6. The Warriors haven't scored > 116 since Curry's injury. 120 + was a regular occurence with him in the lineup

Per 100 possesions since 16/17
Curry and Durant +18.5
Curry without Durant +16.9
Durant without Curry +4.4
Without Curry and Durant -3.5

Curry is +11.0 without Durant, Thompson and Green since 2014.

2016/2017 Steph Curry On/Off
Curry On -Ortg 122.1
Curry Off - Ortg 107.7....

I also don't think we're seeing Curry's individual ceiling during the regular season anymore bc Kerr doesn't regularly run their most effective play. The Curry/Green PNR or Curry/Durant PNR. We're basically watching GS in maintenance mode during the RS playing a more team oriented style.

I’d like to think that was true but I honestly don’t see it. I think his move to The Warriors will take away a lot of the respect he had. And I can’t see him getting it back on a stacked squad.
