In mid-November 2013, I watched the ascendent Golden State Warriors beat the Oklahoma City Thunder, 116-115. Then I did what we all did in 2013: I went on Facebook and fired off a status.
“If I were starting a team today, I’d take Steph Curry over Kevin Durant. Care to comment?”
At the time, KD was considered a top three NBA talent, and Stephen Curry, well, wasn’t. People did care to comment. My take wasn’t just controversial — people actually got upset at me. Part of the issue was that I made this proclamation just a few games into the season, not knowing how it would play out.
