I see we've found the first RealGM poster to possess a telepathic link with an NBA player. I have so many questions I've wanted to ask Kevin Durant.. what's his favorite color? Does he play NBA2k10 as himself? Does that feel weird?
In all seriousness, Kevin Durant responded to the question respectfully, and gave his honest opinion on the matter. He's a genuine person. Over the summer goof ball Wayne Winston used adjusted plus minus to justify his claim that he wouldn't acquire Kevin Durant for free. Durant had no harsh words, only words of respect and that he knew he had to get better. What does he proceed to do? He has the second best adjusted +/- (to Dwight Howard) as calcuated by Wayne Winston's website.
Just because Kevin Durant has a different set of values, and responds differently to interviews and criticism doesn't mean he lets it affect his game negatively. I've been following Durant since he came into the league, and if anything, criticism and comments such as the ones Phil Jackson made drive him to become better. If that's the case, I don't understand how anyone could have a problem with his response.
K, love you...bye
