Kevin Durant used to be a cat that boyz respected around the league. Well…until he had a 73-9 Golden State team down 3-1 in the Western Conference Finals, loss and jumped in the car with them. Instead of trying to beat the team that he had on the ropes bleeding from the mouth he made the sucker move and joined them.
Since then he’s won two NBA titles with a team that was already a championship team and won two Finals MVP’s. Oh and he’s become so arrogant that it’s ridiculous. Remember after the dun won the first title and he was talking trash to fans pointing to his ring finger? Who does that bruh? Then he got caught using the burner account on Twitter talking crazy about other players and OKC?
Yes, winning has turned this cat into something else. Fast forward to a recent interview with Bleacher Report where he’s discussing why players don’t want to play with LeBron. Now I’ve been covering the NBA for more than 8 years and just like anywhere else there are unwritten rules to this thing. It’s no different than the streets. One of the biggest rules is you don’t discuss other cats or try to voluntarily slam other players because what’s happening with them has nothing to do with you. Period point blank you don’t discuss other players unless you’re giving them a compliment etc.
Ole boy goes in on why cats don’t want to play with LeBron. He says, “So much hype comes from being around LeBron from other people. He has so many fanboys in the media. Even the beat writers just fawn over him. I’m like, we’re playing basketball here, and it’s not even about basketball at certain points.”
He goes on to say, “So I get why anyone wouldn’t want to be in that environment because it’s toxic. Especially when the attention is bulls— attention, fluff. It’s not LeBron’s fault at all; it’s just the fact you have so many groupies in the media that love to hang on every word. Just get out of the way and let us play basketball.” I could give you more quotes because he kept talking reckless but you get the point.
Let’s keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1st! Even if KD felt that way about the LeBron situation he can’t blast another cat like that in the media. There are a lot of players that have felt a certain type of way about superstar players including him that won’t dare throw him under the bus and talk about players not wanting to play with them etc.
He pulled the biggest sucker move known to man joining Golden State but active players in the league didn’t openly slam him. He’s running around now acting like he’s actually accomplished something by winning two titles with a team that didn’t necessarily need him to win. They were already the best team in the league.
Is he jealous of the LeBron beause he’s been able to win titles with teams that weren’t title contenders when he got there. LeBron went to Miami and joined a 41 win team that barely made the playoffs and took them to 4 straight Finals winning two. Then he joined the worse team in the league and took them to four straight Finals winning one. KD jumped in the car with some cats that were already on Championship Blvd circling the block. All he had to do was get out and ring the doorbell.
So don’t act like you can’t see that KD wants more respect than boyz are giving him and he’s lashing out right now. Think about it playa the duns on his own team don’t respect him. Draymond just told him to that he could essentially kick rocks and they could still win. Luke 6:45 says, “Out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks.” Ole boy really needs to check himself because Sir Isaac Newton’s Third Law of Motion says, “What goes up must come down.” Stop me when I start lyin’!
