How do you think he feels about that. Is he happy the pressure got pulled off him? He never really felt it until he lost in the Finals and as soon as that happened it was immediately removed. Or does he regret it?

Does he feel bad? He was recruiting all year, begging Durant to come
Steph never wanted to be that guy on a team, the weight and pressure of a leadership role is too much
Dray had that, then KD came it was evident Dray n KD alpha'ness immediatly clashed. While Wardell froze and shied away from their confrontation
Curry likes the shadows, like his game - run around 3 screens, get space, shoot, run back, hide on D, repeat

You're mixing things up.
KD was the one literally saying "I'm not a leader" while on the Warriors.
Curry doesn't have split personality issues like KD. He's just an easy going unconfrontational kinda guy/teammate/presence.

KD joining Warriors was like the Rock joining the Fast and Furious series, it was what the franchise and KD both needed

Steph was never good enough to be top 10 all-time... the Durant signing SAVED Curry's 'legacy'. Without Durant coming, the warriors never win another ring and would be stuck with the 2015 asterisk ring that literally no real basketball fan considers legitimate. And this is just the truth whether anyone likes it or not. Durant is the best player and leader of the Warriors dynasty and will be remembered forever as such. Curry is lucky to be along for the ride.

That's not the truth, that's your speculation. The 2015 Warriors were clearly the best team in the NBA, and the fact that they had the advantage of injuries to the other team in the Finals doesn't change that. The following year they were again clearly the best team in the NBA, and would have won the Finals if not for their own injuries and Green's suspension. There's no compelling reason to believe that without Durant a 73 win team couldn't win the Finals the following year.
I know that most sports fans are obsessed with drama, and inflate the significance of a short series, where the role of chance is greatly increased, far beyond what it really means, but the fact is that Warriors had two of the greatest seasons in history in 2014-15 and 2015-2016, without Durant.

Regular season sure. But they were extremely lucky in 2015 due to facing a plethora of injured teams and then of course we all know what happened the next year...

Hes the leader of the greatest dynasty in basketball history perhaps... the offensive bill russell.
Chef is already top 10... hes bumping out bran and hakeem.

I've always said everybody lost with KD's move. Literally nobody got a boost from it despite doing nothing but win.

This is your speculation. In 2015 they were clearly the best regular season team. Playoffs are a different animal. They weren't clearly better then Cleveland at all in the playoffs. If love and Kyrie were there it was pretty clear that Cleveland would of won. 2016 is a huge denial year for curry and warrior fans. Curry was obviously healthy. I've had the same injury. It's a pretty fast and easy recover and you definitely can't be doing 360 dunks If it's not healed. Steph just played bad like he usually does in the finals, it had nothing to do with the injury.
The warriors we're never as good as there fans believed they were. The front office new this and that's why they went and got kd. If not for kd the warriors would still be sitting on one chip and there's no way curry gets to top 10. Either way he won't but at least with kd he'll get more chips.
