Kevin Durant to the Warriors has worked out, no? To revisit what I said last year:
In fact, we should all strive to join a championship crew. If you’re a superstar, why not have a superstar supporting cast? Time is essential, so why waste your career and your life waiting for a bumbling GM or manager or ownership to get its act together? If you’re good enough, you should expect something out of your teammates, leadership, and organization.
KD’s path isn’t phony or cheap. It’s what I’d do too.
And if I had, I’d be an NBA champion. Then again, my “skill-level” would likely be the only thing that stands in the way of the Warriors’ success.
Live immediately, as Seneca put it. It’s an idea I find myself struggling with all the time. Inertia sets in and another week go by, and all those ideas and dreams and thoughts and fun things go undone. I wait and wait and wait and wait, and everyone else wins championships, so to speak. The choice is: wait for a team to develop, or go out and build it. Or join it, I suppose, in KD’s case.
I had some graphic design work done a while back. I had to go through a few drafts to nail down what I wanted. But finally, after some work, I did. It felt like signing that prized free agent or trading for that superstar. Strange to say that a freelancer is joining your team? Yes. But the idea is: find the best situation. Hire the best. Work to find that championship crew. Bring on the dynasty.
