KD Blasts USA hoop critics

[FakeNews]

Glad someone finally said FBA will always run basketball

"I just don't like the talk around the USA versus European style of how you approach the game," Durant told ESPN. "All I hear is, 'AAU is destroying the game; the Euros do it right while the Americans do it wrong.'

"It's a lot of bulls--- with that. I can read between the lines on that. It's a shot at Black Americans. We're controlling the sport. They're tired of us controlling the sport.

"'France is coming for you.' Really? We smacked them boys," he said.

Black Americans run the sport and without them, basketball looks very boring. I've watched some Euro League games and let me just say a regular pick-up game at any neighborhood is more entertaining.

However, the last couple of MVP's have mostly been foreign players. I get why the media has pivoted towards those takes.

People want to sit here and cheer Kevin Durant for defending American players.
At the same time, those people are also bashing Kevin Durant and many of those same American players for not being the stars of the 1990s and 2000s.

Phony selective outrage is a currency that never runs out.

Yeah I agree with KD

Euro glazing comes from MJ stans and ‘90s dikkriders. They had their moment in ‘04 but haven’t had another one since.

“Yeah Team USA won this year but they’ll be in trouble in 4 years”

no

not a coincidence he's popped his head out talking Team USA sports after the major hockey win huh

definitely not damage control from a guy who cares nothing about how people view him or something lol.... this is brand repair 101 man. ride someone else's momentum to fix your own image and play to a crowd that will feel obligated to support you if use a familiar script

i was actually on the fence about if that was his burner or not, but this pretty much confirms it.

edit: and actually if yal were halfway serious about the AAU point, its impossible to discuss it without mentioning how its running the pockets of families who are essentially forced into paid-amateur gatekeeping shenanigans. he's playing in faces rn

He fired his people at his company this weekend.

Funny how AAU is never mentioned when guys like Knueppel or Pritchard come into the league

It's not hard to work to point out the obvious.
