But dear lord... the comment had nothing to do with KD and was all about people doubting the warriors. Calling it divisive was utterly ridiculous.



You’re being a little coy. KD haters have been going extra hard chirping this squad is better without him and trying to invalidate all of GSW and KD’s accomplishments the last 2.5 yrs. It is divisive and that’s obviously what set him off—but seems he (accidentally?) chose sort of a clumsy post to respond to to air that out. GSW are the greatest most unselfish team of all time. It’s wack that any fan is low-key or high-key dumping on KD. Just enjoy the moments, why does everyone have to have a divisive hot take and gloat about players being injured? If it was KD’s achilles would y’all still be laughing? Takes a sad soul to be a grown man and gloat about such things. Again, just enjoy the moment.

The behind-the-scenes/locker room drama would be great too. Neither of them are leaders so how would they react when things get tough? How many other players and reporters would they lash out at? Stay tuned.


Plot twist. KD and Kyrie team up and...win the whole damn thing next season woohoo!

I think it’s pretty darn cool an all time great pro player is so accessible and authentic. Wish more were.

I can see why KD reacted that way. He was reacting to @PrimeNickKerr posting "LMAAOOOOOO KD", who clearly was taking a shot at him. KD didn't respond directly to him, but he could feel the overall tone of the convo, and probably felt like they were ganging up on him, even though that one guy that he responded to wasn't ganging up on him. Stuff like that happens in confrontations all the time.

Someone shoves you, you shove back, a guy standing nearby gets the brunt, etc.

Not defending KD, just saying I get why he reacted that way. Maybe that does mean I'm defending him? Don't know, just saying.

Edit: As other posters pointed out, I read the timeline wrong. Disregard the above.

As much as I can see KD wanting to leave to create a real legacy of his own, ultimately I don't think he will.
Once it dawns on him that if he leaves and Golden State keeps winning he will become completely exposed without a shred of doubt, he will come crawling back. I can actually see him being so insecure that he chooses to cock block the rest of the Dubs rather than take the risk of creating something of his own.

Almost as awesome as when Ron Artest and Stephen Jackson went into the stands to beat some fan's ass.
Now that was accessible! And SO authentic!

I've been defending Durant a lot over the years but this is just ridiculous. How can one of the best basketball players in the game be so insecure?

I liked that Durant tried to be the bigger guy in that tweet.

Agree

If KD truly believed he earned his rings he wouldn't care so much about the opinions of others. He needs the validations of others because he doesn't get it from himself. It's really sad when you think about it.

"LMAAOOOOOO KD" was what the guy said with the screenshot of KD's comment. It came after KD's comment.

I never truly bought into the narrative that he was insecure but holy ****, he is super insecure. That comment wasn’t even towards him, but he read it that way. Yikes. Dude should just live his life

Who the f' is gloating about his injury here? The tweet wasn't, I wasn't. You're being just as silly as KD with his response. None of what you replied to is in my post.

But KD should have taken your advice, and enjoyed the moment, instead of creating drama out of nothing.

I remember a guy having Nike confiscate a video recording because someone dunked on him.

To be fair to LeBron, that was more Nike protecting their brand than anything.

No sir. Prime Nick Kerr is a Twitter account that was quoting a screen of an exchange that happened on Instagram. EasyMoneySniper is KD's Instagram name (KDTrey5 is his Twitter). The tone of the rest of the Instagram comments may have influenced him though.

I realize you are probably joking, but I would say the chances are better than not that KD has an account here and is defending himself all the time. Heck, maybe he has several accounts!

That's pretty incredible, and honestly I don't want to make fun of that level of insecurity. The funny thing is that I think most people can understand him not being thrilled with the Warriors winning without him. I recall Landon Donovan admitting to partially rooting for the US to lose when we was left off the World Cup team in 2014 (not the same thing, I know). Scanning social media and replying in that manner to a comment that innocuous though, yikes.
