I'll always say this. If he had to leave OKC, he couldve gone literally anywhere else and I wouldn't have been as mad. I remember working int he warehouse and everyone's jaws dropped in disbelief. One of the few times I agree completely with Stephen A smith when he said it was "The weakest move ever"

Honestly the part of the move that really fucked with his legacy is the 2018 Finals. People forget, but there was a lot of hype for that finals, the narrative was perfect: GS up 2-1 on Bron in rings, his probable last chance as a Cav to beat them again. The Warriors, having redeemed themselves last year, looking to cement their status. Bron was also on possibly his best playoff run every, absolutely destroying teams puttin up 40-10's on the reg.
And then the Warriors just mopped em. This wasn't like Bron's first finals when it was "oh well the Spurs are good and the Cavs are bad, is what it is." This was a top tier Bron on a rampage and it just didn't matter because that Warriors starting 5 is basically the most talented ever. And that's when KD winning really stopped being impressive and started feeling cheap. That's when it stopped being "he's great" and started being "the roster's great."
Ironically he actually did a lot for Bron's legacy by going there too. Sure, he still gets endless shit for losing, but he gets the least shit for 2017-18 because even his haters know that the deck was stacked egregiously. He also forced a lot of reconsideration about ring culture, and guys like AI and Barkley and Reggie Miller have gotten more shine because of it. KD really forced us to consider whether the ring is more valuable than the struggle.
