Ignore reality to write your own narrative.
Talk about writing your own narrative. First, there is zero evidence KD spent more time with the Warriors than the Thunder. I don't think there's even a confirmed report that KD actually spent time with Draymond. Second, KD shot poorly in the series, but also played the best defense of his entire career. Saying KD didn't try to beat the Warriors reeks of revisionist history. Third, everyone gets *why* going to the Warriors is controversial, including Slater who has said as much before.

So, yeah, l'll stick with the knowledgeable NBA beat writer knowing about sports.
