Durant is a great player but he's a **** cornball that ruined his legacy after he joined the team that beat him, joined Steph Currys team. Oh but that's not even the worse part. He then followed a headcase to the secondary team that came back to NY that James Harden had to beg fans to come to playoff games... Ain't no shade my **** that's facts. So spare me the unnecessary clown responses
This is a mistake. I'm out of my element in internet cat fights. And I was told never to feed the trolls. So I'm going to assume you are just an avid fan with an opinion with which I strongly disagree. I'm not from "the City" so I think I can be impartial. And oh yeah, the 73 Knicks and particularly Frazier and DeBusschere remain among my all-time favorites.
I've read so much crap, from "never-weres" and NBA footnotes, questioning KD's legacy. I believe it is already chiseled in granite, and am amazed that anyone familiar with what he has accomplished, or who has even just watched him, could have any doubt:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_DurantI see his leaving for GSW to be an act of a basketball purist wanting to be a part of the most beautiful basketball of our day. Then leaving to be a Net an effort and challenge for personal growth. I really believe that it would be impossible for the mentally, or otherwise, weak to do what he has done in life. By the way, I refuse to believe he followed Kyrie like a lap dog. Instead it seems to me that it was a decision of two friends. I suspect that that friendship has affected some fans' opinion of him. He seems to be being "tarred by the same brush". I see a vast difference in wisdom, and behavior. He also has been accused of being mentally fragile for responding to basketball ignorant criticisms on the internet. Surely it is possible that these acts might instead be seen as those of a supremely self assured "alpha" telling the deserved that they are full of crap.
An interesting read might be Abraham Maslow's "Hierarchy of Needs". Most of us are stuck in his initial levels of concern, putting food on the table, worries about money and keeping a roof over our heads, having friends, and feeling good about ourselves. But Maslow's final level is what he and the army call "being all you can be". A psychologist might think me wrong, but I believe that Durant could be at this level, since much of what he does is in an effort to perfect his craft.
