Those are all nba players. On what universe is 2017 Andrew wiggins replacing what kd provided? What a fukking awful take. Kd clearly had to do more than "play better than barnes". Playing better than Barnes would've been putting up like 15ppg, that wouldn't cut it. The Warriors needed KD to drop several 30 point efforts in what were pretty close games. In the dagger game he had 43.....2017 Andrew wiggins not doing that fukk outta here
Barnes was ass in the 2016 Finals and they were still 1-2 shots from winning. They probably win those with a motivated Wiggins, who was consistently good against Bron back then.
And in 2017/2018, you're referring to games the Warriors didn't need to win. They won damn near all those series in 4 or 5, so they could have dropped 1 or 2, sometimes even three more games, and still win the series. This they didn't need KD to drop 30.
The only series that went past 5 was the Rockets, and the first three wins in that series were blowouts. All the Warriors needed was a slightly better effort in Games 4 or 5 (where KD shot poorly in close losses) or about 80% of KD's effort in Game 7 (where he went 11-21 for 34 in a 10-point win), and they would have that one in hand too.
