      Mike M it would actually be a good matchup this season OKC has a solid team

    • @mikeym94

      @ComicBookKing 7 лет назад

      Ag this point there is no rivalry between the teams. The beef is between kd and russ. Okc traded most of thefe players to get melo and george. So most of the people on okc that would have had feelings about durants move to the warriors are gone.

  • @christophergrandison
    @christophergrandison 7 лет назад +328

    KD was one of the most loved players in the league. He was two, may have slipped to three when Golden State blew up, but all he needed was to win. OKC was finally healthy and in that 3-1 series showed they were ready to take the Warriors down. That was the chapter of the story KD left incomplete, and then throws an even bigger hook by joining the team he was supposed to overcome. Storylines in the NBA mean everything to championships and individual player's legacy. KD ruined his brand. Nobody likes him outside of GS, anymore. And unlike LeBron who was able to go home and complete unfinished business, KD can't go back to OKC. He has to move on. Literally. He has to leave GS to reclaim some respect. Go home to Washington. They need help. Right now, he can win all of the GS rings he wants, no one respects it and he acts like this, like Russ did something to him, he makes it worse.

      His talent will earn him respect, but he'll never have the respect LeBron, Kobe, MJ had, even if he wins 4-5 chips unless he does it as an underdog, which isn't possible with the current warriors team.

  • @nickharley2344
    @nickharley2344 7 лет назад +25

    Nick's analogy is perfect, it's like Durant was a nerd and had a friend of nerds and they always got picked on and beat up by a group of bullies. Then one day he decides to join forces with the bullies and decides to bully the nerds he use to be friends with.

  • @TheStullaKing
    @TheStullaKing 7 лет назад +91

    If we roll back the tapes, we would see that Kevin cost OKC the victory over the Warriors. He started to play hero ball and force shots he shouldn't after they were up 3-1. Russ got upset and tried too hard himself, but Kevin started it. I clearly remember being mad and wondered why this idiot was doing that. I thought he choked, but knowing he was talking to Green the entire time makes me wonder.

    • @oscarmeza6452
      @oscarmeza6452 7 лет назад +1

      @GleekFan16 7 лет назад +1

      Okc can only beat GS when the refs help them. The formula is for the refs is to give GS foul trouble in the beginning to control them, only give free throws to Pachulia and do not foul calls for the opposing team. Otherwise, okc will get slaughtered just like all other teams. Everyone sees this. NBA is so rigged.

    @laurentkelly150 7 лет назад +2

    It's not worse case 3rd. You can definitely make a case for Kawhi and Curry over him. Durant might have better stats than Curry but Curry is the guy most feared by the opposition. Plug Kawhi into Durant's role at GSW, they don't miss a beat and become probably the best defensive team in the league to boot. Also Durant's argument over Westbrook is only that he fits into a system better, when they were OKC teammates their impact was pretty much the same.

    He should have gone to Boston and that would be best for the NBA. You cannot claim to be the best in the world and join your rival team who is considered second best team ever after 96-97 Chicago Bulls. You can never measure how good you are after joining that kind of a team. Its too easy for him now, no challenge at all.

    @apples2481 7 лет назад +2

    No amount of championships will help KD get over the guilt he feels for ditching Russ to join the team that beat them. Its worse because he tried hard to make it seem like Russ was his inseparable brother when he was in OKC.

  • @MrBceezy
    @MrBceezy 7 лет назад +1

    To me, it's pretty simple. When Lebron went to Miami, he was vilified. KD on the other hand, was praised and made to be the example of what an NBA star should be. He signed back with the small market team that drafted him without any big announcement (like that Decision spectacle Lebron did) and was the "nice guy" who let his game do the talking. Then, he flipped and became what everyone seemed to hate, a guy who left his team for an "easier" ring. So there's where the hate comes from. And on KD's antics, the guy has never been hated before. He's lost. Credit to him for trying to embrace the villian role but it's clearly not for him. Lucky for him, he's great and his team is great so it really doesn't matter. They're still prolly gonna win the title

    I think KD can turn this around. He's just gotta leave Golden State. He's got 1 ring, probably will get another this summer, you don't need more than that. No one's gonna care when he retires how many free rings he got playing on the greatest team in history. Just get yourself out of there and sign up to play with a young exciting team like the Celtics or Bucks and turn their franchise around. People can learn to appreciate him again.

KD is so soft, yet acts so hard to try to look tough its sickening. Laughing and clapping his hands like he's not phased then next play lays it up off the bottom of the backboard lmao

      the reason y LeBron looks so much better than kd now is because LeBron is carrying the load for his team and has to do everything so his stats are inflated..

    So I got a question, how is Durant suppose to respond to Russell shaking his head basically taunting? If that was my best friend, you can't show me up on TV like that so I'm getting in your face. Russell is the authentic good guy but don't act like you wouldn't get upset if Russell did that to you and you are being considered as the best NBA player in the world.

      Dankster 405 gs vs cavs. Gs has won 7 of the last 8 vs okc and they've only faced 1time ever in the playoffs and that was when kd was on okc, PG on pacers, and melo on Knicks.

    Durant just got tired of repeatedly saving offensive possesions after the wasted seconds by Westbrook.
    Plus the team's mismanagement of everything.

    i'm pretty sure kd is over it. what happened that game was strictly basketball. it's an intense environment, of course something was bound to happen. people hate kd for bringing okc up but reporters keep asking him about it. what is he supposed to do? kd did what's best for him by leaving. he wanted to play basketball the right way. which he thinks is ball movement, sharing, and everybody contributing. not just 2 people (russ and kd) at the time.

    Everyone likes a superhero so when the chips are down and he still able to pull things out and get a win. Not to mention has to do it all by himself (last year)people always back a person like that. In America has never been great on traders. That Butch Cassidy and the Sundance kid cowboy mentality is as American as it gets and we’re talking about Oklahoma City here.

    I highly doubt that Kevin Durant's main goal in leaving the Thunder was winning a championship. Just seemed like he wanted to be somewhere where actual, fundamental basketball was played. Watching Oklahoma City two years ago looked miserable to me. Durant is not a selfish player, but when I watch Westbrook play he seems to me a selfish player. He tries to do entirely too much at the cost of efficiency and far too many turnovers. The Thunder never had a proper offense where other players were involved, and the only offense they had when Durant was there was let the best athletes do it and watch everyone else stand around.
    Plus, Westbrook was not the best player on that team, and he should have deferred more to Durant--who was. It was up to Westbrook to recognize that, but I watched him a million times shoot the Thunder right out of the game because he didn't know his place as the second best player on the team. Whether Durant shot them out of a game or Westbrook shot them out of a game, Durant should have been the one to take the shots because he has been the best offensive force in the league for a long time now.

    I think he hit the nail on the head. Durant proves it matters how and where you win a championship. He won one and still ain't happy. It's like leaving a good beautiful woman who did everything for you for another one you thought look better but realized you left a good woman for a show woman!!!
