Well this is where you're just flat out wrong.

The Warriors got to this point by drafting Curry 6th overall, Klay 11th overall and Draymond in the 2nd round. This gave them the luxury to sign a top 3 NBA player who became available. It's not KD's fault that teams like the Magic and Sixers just continue to suck. Were you complaining during the 80's when it was all the Celtics and Lakers? Did you complain in the 90s because Jordan ruined the NBA?

Get over it. He made a choice because he knew people would crush him if he had never won a championship. He put himself in a position to win multiple ones.

1) Agree -- KD did not ruin the NBA.  The NBA ruined the NBA with the cap inflation that did not really prevent teams from loading up OR really incentivize players enough to stay with their existing team.

2) You noted the Warriors got to this place through the draft but failed to note they acquired Iguadala who was the Finals MVP 2 seasons ago.

3) Agree- the Magic and Sixers are their own worst enemies

4) Jordan wasn't a free agent so that KG analogy doesn't fit as an example

5) The Celtics and Lakers actually had decent in-conference competition during their title runs in the 80's ...... further supporting the current CBA within the NBA is a failed system
