Message: [QUOTE="champs99and04, post: 2667954, member: 488"] I'm referring to the general impoverishment of dialogue (or maybe it's always been this way and it's just easier to access now) in the sports world where the media needs to over-simplify everything in order to generate clicks. The reality is that KD was never going to be considered a top ten all-time player without a ring, and for as arbitrary and subjective as that is, I think that's why he left. We couldn't be happy with an all-time classic Warriors-Thunder conference finals, we had to immediately pedal the easiest storyline and this is what happens. The whole concept of 'ring chasing' is a media creation. If you want to hold KD responsible for this, that's fine, but I don't think those opinions would be mutually exclusive. It was always going to take an especially insecure, impressionable young star for something like this to happen. [/QUOTE]
