Kevin Durant has been dodging media / since Knicks traded Porzingis (UPDATE shyts On Media)

[BonafideDefacto]

It's not even bay area reporters though

The bay is the greatest place to play in a big market and have the media on ur side

Does this nikka understand what's gonna happen to him in NY with the media

1) Be not a Christian nor a Muslim...
2) Ask Durant where he is going to play next season.
3) He doesn't answer in a way that is controversial enough for you to generate shekels on your shytty clickbait site. so you keep asking him every day for months, if not years, the same question.
4) When he stops answering your other questions because he sees that his words mean nothing and you're just looking to hear something that is of benefit to you as a journalist, instead of him as a man, write articles slandering his silence. ("He can join whenever he wants, but silence is inferred as corroboration.")
5) When he doesn't care about your shekel inflow, begin to panic and write articles about what he should say to you, so you don't look foolish anymore ("I haven't made a decision yet and am focused 100% on this season.")
>we are here<
6) When he doesn't kowtow to your new demands, dig up a plant who will claim to be an ex girlfriend or closeted boyfriend that can allege that KD got handsy with you and threatened to maybe push you down a hypothetical flight of stairs after possibly drinking a bottle of Hennessy in June of 2014.
7) Find new victim--return to step 1.

I don't even care about KD like that, but don't ever let these subversive vampires darken the light of god that shines within each of us--it's their only goal in this material existence.

Illmatic level type posting

To KD for shytting on the media

C'mon, man

That was not manly behavior. He acted like a moody ass teenager

Dude is frustrated

Dude is frustrated

From what? Media asking him redundant questions that he could have easily nipped in the bud?

You think he is the only superstar in history to get hounded by the press?

 

[DonKnock]

im just sayin, too many NBA - connected folks are saying NYC already got Kyrie + Durant commited. it s legit speculation

The reason he was so mad at that reporter specifically was because of a podcast that came out where him and @Rekkapryde buddy Amin said Nike already knows where he is going because they will have to prepare new color ways of shoes and new promos and all that shyt.

It’s already been decided, it’s not a “let me wake up one day and decide” type of thing, because he functions as a corporation and other people will have to be notified of the move.

So where he going come July?

I don’t work for Nike.

You sound like an entitled cac. He isnt paid millions to to do anythin gother than play basketball. Speaking to the media is an expectation, not a requisite.

Players have contractually obligated media availibilities.

Remember that huge ass TV deal that jumped the salary cap?

Remember “I’m just here so I don’t get fined?”

 

[GoddamnyamanProf]

But i keep seeing the media on tv, and hearing media on the radio, talking about "All he has to say is that he's not going to talk about it, and that will be it". But that's bullshyt.. KD will say he's not going to talk about it one day.. and the next day, someone will ask. The media has a job to do, but right now, all they are doing is covering the same topic and trying to force all of these different angles.

Hmm, sounds like a pretty toxic environment

 

[Gravity]

See here's the funny thing. He doesnt owe the Warrior fans shyt! He delivered them 2 straight championships! At this point the only thing coming out of Warrior fans mouths should be. "Thanks for everything Kevin. We appreciate all that you have done here. Good luck and godspeed with whatever you decide to do"
But we all know theyll make him out to be selfish and a bad guy in the end.

I suspect that most fans period see it the other way around. The warriors helped kd get 2 rings and they don’t really owe him shyt. They were already champions before he got there. That was prettt much draymonds message at the beginning of the season.

So you completely disregarded the second post where that is addressed. I remember it well. And as such being available for media for 45minutes postgame means just that. Available. As I stated in my first post about it, engaging the media is an expectation not a requisite because you can go out there and not answer a single question other than "You know why I'm here."

Except no reporter had asked him about free agency since the beginning of the season per his request

 

[Methodical]

Can't stand the media spreading the bs rumors an trying to push them to go to NY Knicks or LA Lakers, etc.

I’m no fan of most of sportsmedia I think they turned sports into nothing more then a gossip column and they try to make headlines and stories even if they have to make sh1t up but I’ve never seen a player who was always treated well by the media make his own problems with the media by being grouchy for no reason ever since he went to GS

Tell them I’m not answering questions about it till after the year and end it there all this sh1t is childish.

The reason it’s even a story is all on him. He signs one year deals he refuses to put it to bed by say he’s staying in GS(because he’s obviously isn’t) and him signing with GS has basically destroyed any competition in the league because everyone knows GS is winning it so the only interesting topics are off the court and where players like KD will sign in the off-season.

Maybe I’m wrong but I think Durant’s turned into a louse in GS is because he thought going there and winning titles that he’s get more credit for finally winning rings and people would say he’s up there or better then Lebron

Nobody has said that because it’s not true. He joined a stacked 73 win team so he gets little credit for the rings. He went to the one place where winning titles wasn’t gonna do anything to enhance how hes currently thought of as a player or his legacy.
