His comments on the trade as well has having some time to un-rose-tint my glasses kind of illustrate a little problem for me. I think he is a great teammate and is very likeable--but for him to say that the trade was for the betterment of the team is not how I really want my leading scorer to think. It should be "**** you I'm better than KD". And while I did appreciate the self-awareness while he was here, he seems to lack that delusional sort of self-confidence that you sort of need as a smaller superscorer in the league. Either way, seems like there's not too many hard feelings and he still loves the city and the guys, so that's cool. Hope he plays his ass off in Phoenix as the number 2 perimeter option next to Booker. And I hope he plays badly against us every. Single. Time.
Dude was given the reins by Silas, total control......so back then if he had superstar potential, it would have showed. He is really gifted scorer and not everyone is that and he seemed to be hard working on Defense enough. I just figured he hasn't added a lot to his game that has worked for him in 4 years........unfortunately. The mental side of things, that he is this laid back Cali guy, but Harden was that as well. Good luck in Arizona again and he needs it.
Monte Ellis said ever since Stephen Curry hard work ethic and adding Muscle, Stephen Curry confidence grew. Great advice for all Athletes.
