This nikka is getting softer by the minute. Why make a decision that you know you can't live with. He might have a nervous breakdown his first game back in OKC.

Kevin Durant considered the Warriors for months. (:scust:) Golden State players recruited himthroughout the season. He met with the Warriors in the Hamptons.

He had all the knowledge to make a sound decision, one he could feel good about.

And it seemed he did.

Choosing Golden State appeared to be a coronation for Durant. The Warriors instantly became favored to win next season’s championship — and at least a couple more down the line. Durant had the free-flowing offense he desired, teammates he liked, a market that intrigued him and a max contract.

Yet, his reaction — staying inside for two days and playing video games with brother — suggested discontent.

Durant, via Kurt Helin of NBC who is in Las Vegas:



For a few days after I didn’t leave my bed (later he clarified, his rented house in the Hamptons) because I was like ‘if I walk outside somebody might just hit me with their car, or say anything negative to me.’ Like I said I never had this reputation, and so many people who don’t even watch basketball are telling me congratulations, and good luck going forward, it’s crazy how big I got and how big this got…..

“I mean I’ve been somewhere for so long and then to make a change like that (which) nobody knew was coming, that nobody didn’t think I would do, of course I didn’t know how it would be received afterwards. But at some point, I just said, ‘Look man, life goes on. Life moves on, and I can’t hide forever,’ so I just had to face it.”

If any of you know how MBTI works, I've always suspected Kevin Durant leads with Introverted feeling. Russ seems more emotional cuz he's extroverted but Durant was the real damsel of that duo.

Kev is just an emotional nikka, man, from the beef with Skip Bayless to how badly he takes criticism, all the talent in the world (Prolly my favorite player in the league), just not built for war.
