He was a second round pick. He grew up in tough neighborhood, and accomplished something with his life. He played his ass of for the Dubs, and for that I respect him. Are the Warriors better off? Yeah definitely.
I don't see why there is so much glee when he plays poorly. He's not a Warrior anymore, he's not in the WC. I root for him to do well, like all other former Warriors except when it would hurt the Dubs in any way.
Also all the shots at his speech/intelligence are in poor taste. Criticizing his play is fine, taking shots at him because he doesn't speak well is just being an asshole.
