Cant blame the guy too much, he probably is looking the camaraderie and fellowship of his high school and college playing days .. that shyt can be infectious

But with money and fame involved, the league is definitely all business no matter where you go.

I think people are gonna look at KD a lot differently than they do now once we get enough time and perspective from this whole ordeal

What do you mean by this?

Because these stories do nothing but confirm what everyone really thinks about KD

He doesn’t move like a grown man that’s sure of himself

If KD didn’t expect black lash for joining the 73 win Warriors ... lol
It’s kinda crazy that people are quick to tell fans they take sports too serious and it’s just entertainment

But we have a player who is a GOAT, has 100s of millions of dollars, championships, taking it to heart that he’s not being praised as someone else

KD maybe the lamest sports superstar ever

On one hand I think you're right, on the other hand I think you're over looking something. Durant strikes me as incredibly insecure and he requires a lot of coddling/love. His emotions have gotten the better of him multiple times, including when he was using his twitter fingers to defend himself a couple years ago.

That being said...traditionally people like this get manipulated and hurt. People take advantage of them, and then trick them into staying in bad relationships by promising to love them, take care of them etc. I feel like the Warriors exploited this in order to get KD to play in game 6. I'm sure they presented a very emotional pitch to him on Sunday and promised all type of things that appeal to KD's sensibilities. The fact that KD decided to leave suggests that the manipulation didn't work...so I can't help but feel like he showed some growth here.

Will this continue? Who knows. But I respect him for this decision.

The Nets not making the playoffs next year. And we'll see how they do when KD comes back.

Lowkey the knicks might have dodged a bullet by not getting either of them.

A team that won 42 games a year ago with arguably their best player missing over half the season has upgraded the roster and will now miss the playoffs. Ok.

He was going to The Knicks before this season started

It’s why Draymond went on the rant and it’s why the Knicks cleared their cap

I think he got talked into going to BK by Kyrie

Has any non east playoff team got better?
