I have heard people talk about losers in a bad way or even guys with bad attitudes. The bad ones are especially talked about; it's deserving. Winners? They get the love or at least they should, right? James Harden is doing so good that his scoring is being mentioned with some of the G.O.A.T.S and it's cool but I remember a time when Kobe Bryant's streaks were not being celebrated. The information era was not super digital as it is now, everything is amplified; that's understood. If you dislike Kevin Durant, that's cool. You don't like the move he made to the Warriors, even better. Is it ever about basketball? The fact that nobody can guard him, back-to-back finals MVP, youngest person to win a scoring title, younger than Jordan, Iverson and Shaq. People chase stories instead of embracing the moment.
People always go to technacality when you have no cards to throw. I've heard "speculation" and that he's been "insulated" because Steve Kerr coddles him and all these other innuendos that attempt to undermine his character. This is apparent because nobody wants Kevin Durant to be mentioned with LeBron, he's in his own category no matter where he goes, his flaws are not consistently echoed each time, he's loved. KD is different, he's a threat to comfort and the illusion and narrative of LeBron. LeBron is about 290 points away from being 5th on the all-time scoring list, he'll surpass Jordan. He did it. Longevity and time on your side is the icebreaker. But that kid Kevin Durant will ascend just as quick as Jordan to Kobe to LeBron. Information, stats, opinions, some credible and some rubbish but in the end Jordan is still the G.O.A.T and I've seen all the games since 89', that's when I can remember.
------ I took a two month break to see if the naysayers would change their tone... nope.
KD is currently averaging 35 points per game during the playoffs. It is looking as if that will rise throughout the remainder of the playoffs because it's obvious, you cannot guard the 7ft sniper. Is he leaving The Bay? Going to the Knicks? Let that man cook. Enjoy
