Basically Kevin Durant's reasoning :russ:


He's like...Yeah, you can shyt on me now and drag my name through the mud. You can say I took the easy way out and was a p*ssy for joining the team that beat me. But in 15 years you all will forget, and in 30 years, I'll be looked at as possibly a Top 5 player with 2-3 titles on my resume :manny:


Kevin Durant knows this, he don't give a fukk :laff:

Scal is funny as hell when you listen to him on the Sirius NBA channel.

But you are using BRIAN SCALABRINE's Logic and applying it to a top 10 player. Scalabrine is a bum when healthy on any NBA team he played for. Durant will always be remembered for running to the team that beat him. That's a huge black eye for competition. How badly does a team need you when they were in the finals winning without you?

How many times in the history of competitive sports has a MAJOR player ran to the team that beat them the year before? Besides Ray Allen (who wasn't really major at the time) I can't think of another

Let me make this clear. No way am I siding with Durant, it's a bytch move. End of story, and anyone who denies this is straight up lying

I'm just pointing out the logic behind Kevin Durant's decision. Just think, in 2017, who remember's the sports critics in Rick Barry, Walt Frazier, and John Havlechik's era?

I think a lot of it has to do with his happiness, straight up quality of life. He's around level headed unselfish people and players who are clearly making the game more fun for him, while also living in one of the most beautiful areas of the world making millions of dollars. What happens beyond that (rings, accolades etc.) is just the icing on the cake.

1. He wanted to win a championship in the superteam era. Bron set the precedent, KD perfected it.
2. He wanted to get out of OKC. He wasn't drafted to play in Oklahoma, they stole Seattle's team, so fukk that organization. Seriously, would anyone choose to live in Oklahoma instead of the Bay?
3. Basketball wise, would you rather play in a beautiful system with playmakers and shooters all over the floor + one of the best defensive teams in the league, or would you take your chances with Westbrook and the rest of that trash roster? It's not his fault a 73 win team was able to add a max contract in the offseason.
4. He's a young multimillionaire who wants to get into the venture capitalism game and acquire some real generational wealth for his family.

I'm not mad at him.:yeshrug:

I never understood having disdain for someone cause he chose to take an easier path to success. The Warriors players seem like some cool dudes too. Then you talking about OKC vs Cali:what: I low key felt sorry for KD when he was in OKC. Cause I know he from the inner city of a major city, and now he had to live in OKC for all them years. shyt had to be torture. Personally, I would have been left, solely of the strength that I'm not staying in no damn OKC.

Now if you want to say, that you wouldn't have left and took the "easy way out" I can dig that. But to be straight up hating and calling this nikka a coward and shyt:why:

Smarten up nikkas. Real nikkas out here trying to work smarter, not harder.
