What are your thoughts on Kevin Durant's comments?
He speaking factz bronsexuals
Yall change the narrative chris and nick smh Kevin Durant told you what some players think is it that hard smh fanboys
Sounds like he is mentally weak and got Daddy issues tbh....
glory nahh sounds like he got daddy issues
NOW YALL WANNA THROW OTHER PEOPLE UNDER THE BUS TO DEFLECT FROM LEBRON... (MAGIC, MJ)
STOP!!!! SO PHONY...YALL STILL DOING IT IN YOUR RESPONSES smh PATHETIC
nick literally proved his point
He doesn't care. Stop the hate.
Jerome Powell he’s not hating he just stated exactly why kd said what he did. Don’t be soft pal.
@@randydalen590 I know he's talking about Nick, but Nick just mention all of LeBron's positive attribute. We need more rich celebrities to build schools and send kids to college. Instead of acknowledging that, this guy wants to shame Nick for pointing these things out.
Jerome Powell there are a lot of athletes that that donate etc etc, they don’t get put on a pedestal like lebron does; nick does it to the tenth degree and this segment proves it again. Not taking anything away from bron but it just is what it is
@@randydalen590 didn't Jalen Rose and Deon Sanders make schools too?
I’m not gonna say kd is right but I’m gonna type it
😂😂😂😂 facts
Lol
Agreed. Nick and Chris sound so hurt.....
@@ericbennett8398 You right, but did you see Shannon Sharpe today lol?
Eric Bennett yeah kd is taking shots at nick and he’s so mad lol
Grown men who have a job to do ....shouldn’t be fan boys of any player
THANK YOU. But objectivity is nonexistent in this era of reporting.
I think they're doing their job. If you like it when they criticize wrong then you should be okay when they praise excellence.
Facts
@@sportsbabe5951 There's a distinct difference between praising a player for great performance and blind idol worship. None of these reporters take 15 minutes out of a week to discuss how phenomenal a coaching job Doc Rivers is doing in LA, or Mike Malone in Denver this season, but they have numerous segments about all the All Stars that should be going to the Lakers to team up with LeBron and that's not even going to take place for seven more months. Let's not pretend like they are even close to unbiased reporters.
@@DCherryASU12 that is also true but put that blame on the corporation. I doubt very seriously the talking heads set the agenda.
So Nick admits he's a fan and somehow he's still able to be unbiased? Yeah so Durant is pretty much 💯!!!!
This clip is the perfect example of what KD was talking about. This whole clip was about taking KD down for telling the truth
dupp2424 that part bro lol
KD shouldn't talk at all, especially considering how sensitive he is. KD comes off as jealous.
It’s not true smh. Ask Korver, or Wade if they think Lebron is Toxic
@@JDR501 it seems to me the media are the ones that are sensitive
@@JDR501 the media and Bronsexuals are the sensitive ones like KD said it's “toxic" KD was 1000% right and this segment proves it
Can Chris go a segment without interrupting someone?
Nick Wright has a wedding picture of LeBron and Savannah on his night stand. Nick cut out a picture of his face and put it over Savannah's.
Funny 😄
br 1251 leshannon sharpe and colin cowTURD have the same thing
Actually they all sleep with their blowup lebron dolls
Everybody saying nick proving his point but nick is also right about what he is saying
Millionaire313 Scott you cant reason with haters dude. Durant’s right when he says the Media can create a toxic environment where they idolize Lebron. But that sounds like jealousy tbh. We idolize every all time great of their Era. Kobe, Jordan, Magic and Bird. Brady and Peyton. KD is sorta right but he’s coming off as straight jealous of the attention and idolization
What he means by “toxic” is the scrutiny of the players around lebron. Every time they win or lose its ALL lebron. I remember after the 2014 finals they were calling for wade to retire. Nobody but lebron gets credit
@G-man
Wade was in his prime when he took over the 2011 ECF and finals after LeBron choked.
It's all praise and no blame for LeBron. Any time that someone even tries to constructively criticize LeBron, his supporters rush to make excuses for him and deflect blame.
LeBron does get the blame for 2011 tho.
@@oacevedo81
BINGO!
Dont all you jordan fans do the same tho
Here after Lebron trying to trade his whole team and 42 point lose 😂😂😂
Toxic because you get blame for everything negative not Bron being famous.
THEY IGNORE POINTS ON PURPOSE AND TRY TO SPIN THEM INTO SOMETHING ELSE
Yup. Everybody knows Lebron is a great guy but the player is toxic.
That’s every great player the environment for MJ, Magic, Shaq, and Kobe. If you were second fiddle to them you got the blame.
0neChubbyBunny that doesnt make it any better tho😂just means alot more people were used as scapegoats
Do you realise that there is no point in bringing up MJ, Magic, Shaq, kobe because in thier era's, players were not taking control of their own careers, demanding trades to go to where they want to go. That all began from Lebron moving to Miami from Cleveland. So bringing them up is a moot point. In todays NBA, players can control their own futures and pretty much go wherever they want to go. So now it becomes an issue, because it truly is the case that if you play with Lebron, you will either be blamed for losses, or receive no glory for the wins. KD is absolutely right, the fan boys in the media are the ones responsible for superstars not wanting to join Lebron. Its not Lebron's fault; its the retards in the media that we have to listen to all the time, tell us what we should think and how we should feel concerning certain players. Ironic, that it is also the same media, trying to get players to Join Lebron.
Media f*cked up Lebron's chances of a title, and now they have to spin it and try to say its always been that way with MJ, Magic, Bird, ShaQ, Kobe, Nonsense! dont let them discourage you from the fact that it has nothing to do with what Durant is saying here.
Oh god... ok wright here's the "toxic" part... because when lebrons teams lose you guys pick on everyone else around him and its thier fault! When they win or do something spectacular during the games to get the win, you guys only talk about what lebron did lol... Wright, Colin, Shannon, Carter, are toxic to sports writing and commentary period! You could be talking about tennis and bring up lebron, horse racing and bring up lebron... what happened to Talking SPORTS? Not just lebron every single day! The excuses when he loses, to hes the only reason why they win..
👏
So much respect for KD coming out and saying that. Love seeing the media hype boys being called out.
AND THIS SHOW IS 1 OF THE PROBLEMS
KD on point..I don't know what Chris talking about but there have been several NBA players in the last 2 weeks speaking on not playing with LBJ...And it's not from a negative point of view.. Star caliber players know they will have to sacrifice their game to play with this dude.. RB the breakthrough has a great video on this very topic where he is showing direct quotes from other players on this very topic and it's clear they prefer to be where they are vs with LBJ...
No doubt Neon is a transcenant player but the a large degree the media has created the LBJ hype thats over the top.. This is the world of sports..
I saw that same video on RB's channel, it's more than just KD saying this, multiple players have come out and said it in a "nicer" way. KD just poked at the root of it all.
All this segment did was just further prove KDs point. Here we have Nick wrong drooling all over LeBron, as usual 😂
Nick and Jenna hate KD so much it's hilarious
Not even a minute in and Cris interrupts Nick
Harry Gomez it only took 25 seconds lol
We really don’t be asking for CC and his life story man just give your opinion lmao
We're really not asking*
LeBron never joined a 73-9 team who he had down 3-1 The year before and kd is jealous because LeBron has built an I promise school in his hometown put his friends through college to become his business partners paid for kids to go to college but LeBron got criticized more for going to miami than kd going to the warriors
That “promise school” that he so called built, the state of Ohio is paid 85% of the cost.
lol why would KD be jealous of someone else building a school?
"LeBron got criticized more for going to Miami than KD did for going to Golden State."
Are you f'n kidding me? 🤦♂️
LeeTravius Mckay Good point .KD is an insecure mommy boy that is jealous on Bron cause he gets more attention .
@@Only2GendersCommonSense Believe it or not man you got some people saying that LeBron going to the heat is worse than KD going to GS 😂🤦
KD is right! Nick is so biased it’s sickening SMH
It's not about being a fan. There's a difference between being a fan and a fanboy lol. You just said that Bron put his friends through college. Did he pay for them? Did he take their test? That's what he is talking about Bron is not God. KD won two major humanitarian awards in the past two years. Bron didn't win those and KD gets no recognition for it. He got one quick video on espn lol. If KD is jealous it is warranted. Nick you just said that he hasn't earned??? HOW, over the past two year two time champion, two time finals MVP won two humanitarian of the year awards. What else should he do?? The fanboyism makes me sick to my stomach. People are sheeps in this day and age.
Everybody always labeling things with jealousy Lol KD proved his point
KD is soft mentally thats why he lashes out understandable
Facts,
Idk if he's soft...I think he's petty and doesn't know when the media is baiting him...More naive imo.
KD is a headcase...great player but needs to shut up.
KD is a snake .He throwing some poison to make Bron look bad .
Soft mentally but dicked down Le3-6 in back to back finals.
Nick maaaddd lol
This segment literally proves KD's point. The media fanboys are hella mad today lol.
"How could you not be" is a problem if you're in the media.
No man or woman should be a fan boy of any athlete or entertainer. It’s not healthy. I’m happy Kd said what he said tbh
Fanboy
Sooo it’s not healthy to be a fan?
Quarail Hale to me no.
Durant is right look at what happen to former Lebron Teamates...They made them look trash, they blame them for everything! And if they are losing someone gets fired or traded already..... So who Superstar wants to be a part of Lebron anymore? If they play bad they criticize and blame when Lebron loses a game! That's why its so Toxic! Its like a one man show team not a family!
Lol. And..........they prove his point!
Bronny is wearing #23!!! Like any of us care. Paul George drops 47 and it's a footnote. If LeBron scores 42, it's a headline! The more you talk about LeBron, the more you prove KD's point.
Paul George or Lebron no contest
Tony Stark Nets vs Spurs no contest
Well, KD wants to be LeBron, simple.
This is the perfect example of what KD was talking about, Fanboy analysts are the worst thing to happen in sports..They completely missed KDs point and they wonder why athletes don’t want to have to talk to the media
When the Bulls lost a game no one ever said oh it’s Scottie Pippens fault. Scottie Pippen got a great legacy. I don’t recall anybody blaming James Worthy or Kareem when Magic lost. Matter of fact Magic got the blame. That’s where the whole Tragic Johnson thing came from. You can’t compare the media back then to now.
Chris "Let me tell you who I know and what I've seen" Carter
lol but he wants to stay on a team where someone is calling him a b
But that's totally different than the entire media trashing on you for losses and praising Lebron for wins.
Brande MIDGETT-CROSBY LoL right I’m super confused 🤷🏾♂️
Yonis Ali oh and that’s not a “toxic” situation??
Would u say kd was right now? We all see what happening in LA now. Most of the hate Bron gets is because of his fans and the media.
Durant comments on LBJ is right, for those calling KD jealous about lebron isn't true because KD have already won 2 finals MVP, 2 titles, multiple regular season scoring title, all NBA first team, season MVP and a millionaire himself..by the way during the summer time lebron and Kd hangout, in other words they're close freinds..
Mac Apple he won cause of golden state they was deep enuff now they got boogie cousins
@@graysonbrown4755
Yeah but KD has really contributed because he played great which he won 2 finals MVP...
KD is better than Lebron. Why would he be jealous? KD will have 5 rings before it is over.
Cris always acts like things don't bother him and then he responds as if things bother him lol
Of course Nick wouldn't use fanboy, he is one! Lmao 😂😂
It’s not the “fanboys” it’s the haters tbh. People love to hate LeBron.
Bubbas Ernie it’s the fanboys too
Durant gonna have this next (*) next to every chip he wins with golden state because he knows he walked into the perfect situation and the guilt of not feeling like you earned it is eating away at him.
Wow... A 38 word sentence...🤦
@@irayneman lol I know right, well I'll finish getting dress for the gym now.
"The weakest move by a so-called superstar I have ever seen". It's not often I agree with SAS but he was right on point about that one. You go to the team that set the NBA record for most wins, has the reigning MVP of the last two seasons, and SHOCKER, you get 2 chips.
Bro nobody wanna play with Lebron. KD was right ..y’all Lebron fam base salty asf
Who want to play with Kd and watch him take 30+ shots?
KD spoke the truth.. period and the history of it speaks for itself. Plus remember as KD said this is more to do with the media than it is actually Lebron. Look how the media has torch every player that played with Lebron whenever that team fails. Kevin Love and Kyrie being the latest example from the Cavs era. This is more to why I think KD is NOT going to LA like alot of the media want him to, and KD hates the media as it is especially from reporting his miscues with the Thunder and how he was probably in his eyes underminded by the media in his eyes, when he did what LeBron did to go to another team to win a title.
In fairness KD did not say lebron creats toxic atmosphere, he said it is the media attention which creates it
Do they not realize KD probably has spoken to a lot of players and he might be saying what all of them are saying. To Nick, LBJ can do no wrong. So of course no one is gonna want to go there when all the media will blame you as soon as something doesnt go right.
So what's the benefit from that, I see if kd had the same amount rings or more,
Nick just proving his point the entire time he opened his mouth lol...
CP3 is a example of not wanting to play with Lebron
CC and Nick so hurt! No one is questioning LeBron greatness but you two are making Durants point. They are blind and make his greatness toxic
Nick is one of these guys that love Lebron way too much. He needs to at least try to dial back his biased.
Bias*
Yall just proved KD right with this video
"how could you not be?" LMFAO end of video right there!
Why people fighting with the facts..SUPERSTARS ARE NOT RUNNING TO PLAY WITH BRON BRON!! Fanboys just get over it!
I've clicked this video just to see how these two guys defend LeBron. The maneuvers are "fantastic" :))))
Kyrie didn't want to play with Lebron, PG didn't want to play with Lebron, Kawhi and Jimmy didn't want to play with Lebron. But hey Nick Wright knows best.
Yea Chris Carter -James and Nick Wrong are definitely fanboys
And where is the issue ?Lebron is the best in the game for quite a while .
How is he the best? What is he the best at?
Cris Carter knows everyone and everything....
Lol LeBron was dunking in middle school and was teenage celebrity who was a 6’8 240 pound Junior with guard speed... wasn’t hard for him to make the NBA lol... Little Stephen Curry making out of Davidson college was hard to do!! That’s a real Story...Michael Jordan sons didn’t even come close Steph wasn’t even given a real shot he had to take it and dominate when no one believed... LeBron was deemed the chosen one at 16...wasn’t hard at all for LeBron to make the NBA
Raw Status TV what nba players take credit for training Steph since he was four?? Lol Michael Jordan sons tried to play and grew up waaayyy richer than everyone else only one of doc rivers sons made it and the Other one went to Georgetown with Patrick Ewing son many NBA players sons have Not made it... THEY WERENT EVEN giving Steph Curry a chance to go to a Big D1 school and none of them believed he would go to the NBA!! As teenagers be real which one had an easier path as teenagers... LeBron was a teenage celebrity who had a 90 million dollar deal waiting on him... At 16 he was on espn magazine cover while Steph Curry was doubted by every single scout at 16!! You talking about elementary age lifestyle ok...When LeBron walked into high school starting on varsity and taking ridiculous growth spurts he path was set...Everyone doubted Steph Curry way more every step of the way until he started destroying everyone 5 years ago ....It was not easy for Steph to make it out of Davidson...Ain’t nobody else make it from that school...LeBron is a ridiculous athlete that was built like that in high school sneaking to go scrimmage against NBA players with chosen one on his back while Virginia Tech wanted Steph to be a Walk on with no full scholarship at his parents Alma Mater where his dad is the All time leading scorer and his mom was a volleyball star...and they still didn’t want him...You don’t even get it...
Said it before and I'll say it again Katie's problem is he's not LeBron, such an angry Feller
Jimmy Butler didn’t wanna play in LA with Bron!!
NICK wright has a Lebron crush he a fanboy a Stan lol you supposed to be objective an neutral as a analyst
These two missed the entire point. KD was referring to the its LBJ vs everyone narrative that is built every year. Kyrie hit a huge shot in the 2016 series and everyone seems to solely look at it as a LBJ achievement. If they lose its because his team is awful. That is toxic I don’t know how it could be described as anything else.
KD just needs to get the heat off of him
LeBron built the school in Akron not Cleveland!
Wasn't even his direct money, everyone knows was from his foundation aka Nike money to cut tax a raise this so called woke/political lebron figure.
in Cleveland
Whenever anyone in the national media refers to a city in North East Ohio they just say Cleveland
Its a public school built by tax money. Lebron didn't spend a dime.
One of Chris Carter's brothers comes out to my golf course to play golf. Great family!
No star besides love has joined lebron KD was 100% right
G-man kawhi has already stated hed prefer clippers over lakers bron was in cleveland for 4 years no free agent star joined him their or in miami
Love didn’t even join him on his own. He got traded there
Rushking20 #Cheesehead Kawhi didn’t speak when he was on the spurs so that’s fabricated nonsense, it’s like when the media reported Jimmy Butler didn’t want to play with Lebron but then it came out a few days ago that he was open to the trade but the Lakers weren’t willing to let go of branden Ingram.
Bosh joined only one.wade was there..kyrie was there..love was traded
@@Rushking20 kawhi told you that? Lmao yall funny
Toxic like the Lakers not making the playoffs. Toxic throwing teammates under the bus.
Lmao Chris and Nick literally just Proved KD point, Jalen Rose proved KD point, max kellerman proved KD point all the main guys KD was targeting are the ones most hurt by facts 😂😂😂 and it's not just KD star caliber players have come out of the woodwork and said they'd prefer to stay where they are at than play with lebron on the Lakers
You see KD cut so deep into they heart that the media have sunk as deep as to try to get melo to play with lebron after all the narratives about melo being washed up
Chris Carter always interrupting Nick.
You seeing the toxic now right? haha
Toxic, because: "The Warriors beat LBJ, because Kyrie and K_Love went down, but LBJ beat the Warriors by himself".. When the team wins, it's LBJ, but everybody else's fault when they lose.
Nick just proved his point
Because you fanboys give Lebron passes on things that he shouldn’t get a pass on yet you only give him credit when his teams do well. So yeah you media guys make it toxic to be around Lebron because why should the rest of the team get criticised constantly without praise when they do well.
lol the number 0ne Human KD was talking about Nick Wright
This story is turning into a SuperHero story!! LeBron = Iron Man!! KD = Thanos!!!! ✌
This wont age well.
LeBron wants Melo to join the Lakers. What KD said that no young player wants to play with LeBron got to him. So LeBron is now the official Lakers President and GM. 🤣
2 fan boys
just an opinion... KD is a great player, but an ongoing pr disaster... if anything, there always seems to be toxicity around KD, think of his history with leaving OKC and recently with Draymond...
Cris Carter Kevin wildes and nick would be so epic
KD told the truth. And Nick tight about it.
KD looks bad for his comments simply because when you’re in the presence of greatness it comes with higher expectations and scrutiny just ask the employees who worked closely with Bill Gates, Steve Job ect
Draymond is 100% right about KD
Chris Carter nailed it. Kevin Durant is showing his insecurity. He scared LeBron will get the crew he needs and begin to get more championships. Meanwhile KD doesn't seem to have the balls to address his issues with Russ or Draymon. Mommas boy.
Lmao it seems kd was right after all. We all see whats happening in LA now there is definitely a toxic situation going on with that team as we speak. Bron is a great player but i dont get why ppl are afraid to criticize him no player is perfect u know.
It’s sad when men are criticized for admiring another man for his professional accomplishments..
I admit you don’t have to cheerlead for a man but appreciate him..
Their is so many guys in the league you can trade KD for ....you can't say the same thing about bron
If Toxic means playoff, finals or even Championship ring.. I wanna be with LBJ. LeBron can take rookie teams in the playoff and some kind of extras in the finals.. While KD needs to join 4 superstar. I dare KD to go to Cavs and then He have my respect.
Miss cris Carter on this show
KD IS RIGHT.....LETS STICK WITH BASKETBALL...CUrry has 3 rings...not near many years as brons....why they not talking about him.....he is 110% rught....labrins isn't the best player in the world and never have been....
Nick said back in 2010 KD is a 6’10 Lebron with a jumpshot 🤷🏽♂️
assane keita back in 2010... that’s 8 years. Opinions change
He thought that back than in 2010 .Now is 2018 .People can change their opinions .
So in 2010 he thought a 21 year old KD was better than MVP LeBron but now he thinks Bron is better because “opinions change”? Lmfao
You shouldn't be a biased fan boy and be a commentator at the same time. Which is why nick wright disrespects kobe and mj religiously
Didn’t everyone blame Lebron when they lost to the mavs?
So y'all saying they should be fans of the game but not the players🤔
Nick is the biggest fanboy.
This is literally the lebron fanboy show
KD is deflecting his BS onto Lebron. Man the fudge up and handle ur biz.
Chris with the petty comments are hilarious.
CC preaching the gospel truth on this one. KD is as toxic as they come in the NBA. And we all know that he says nonsense like this because he’s jealous of Lebron.
I don’t think KD is in any position to criticize lebron after being a 🐍
how a journalist can be a fan it will impact ur work a journalist must be like switzerland kd is right
