Loyalty is overrated.
Just ask the former MVP forward, who changed teams after years of waiting for management to surround him with the talent a player of his stature deserved:
"Loyalty is something that hurts you at times, because you can't get youth back,"
No, not Kevin Durant.
Not LeBron James, either, though you could be forgiven for thinking it was, as this player blazed the path those other two would follow. Unlike LeBron and Durant, the author of the above quote was doggedly loyal - some say blindly so - and spent most of his prime languishing on a small market team that could never quite get over the hump.
