It is nights like these, I suspect, that prompted author Sherman Alexie -- a Sonics fan through and through -- to email:
As I've watched the Sonics fall apart these last 15 games or so, I've seen that Kevin Durant's game has also fallen apart.
He kept reminding me of another player -- something about his poor shot selection, his purposeful avoidance of passing the ball to the other scorers on the team (Wally Z and, er, Wally Z), his pathological inability to rotate on defense, and his absolute reluctance to initiate any body contact were all naggingly familiar -- and then a friend of mine called during a recent game and said, "Durant is playing like Glenn Robinson."
More chilling words about a promising basketball player have never been uttered.
I found this in the Portland Forum. They didn't want to post it over here out of respect of not trolling. Thank you for that.
I think yes the kid has made mistakes after all he is a rookie. At the end of the day the kid is going to be one of the best in the league possibly ever.
