As a Longhorn fan, I will NEVER hate KD. Dude retroactively changed my mind about LeBron going to Miami. I still think “The Decision” was the worst possible way to break up with an entire city, but LeBron opened the player empowerment door in a massive way.
The KD Warriors were def an IRL cheat code, but they were also undeniably the most insanely stacked team of all time.
Also that’s where I’ve been with LeBron for the last several years. I hated him when he went to Miami. Since his Cleveland title I’ve grown to appreciate being able to watch one of the 2 greatest players of all time while we still can.
Like.. he’s played close to this same level for 20. FUCKING. YEARS. We’ll never see that again. Highest possible expectations thrust upon an 18 year old kid, and he has delivered and VASTLY exceeded in every way possible.
