You keep going on and on about how KD has disappointed the fan base... isn't that exactly what the owner of the Sonics/Thunder did just a few years back. I have a feeling there is a good NBA fan base in Seattle that would have a thing or two to say to you about fan loyalty lol. Fact is that thunder is not a well run team. KD got sick and tired of it and he chose another option. I'm happy for him.
Poor ownership?

OKC is a small market team and they got Durant to the Finals.

They also got him to a point where he was up 3-1 on the Warriors and his team had 8 point lead with five minutes to go to get to a second NBA Finals.

Durant was surrounded by a championship caliber team for 7 years....how is that poor ownership?

You don't know what you're talking about.

It's Durant's right to leave. The whole issue is the team he went to. That's weak. Stephen A. Smith, Barkley, Miller, etc all day the same thing.

The Warriors were great without Durant. So he went there so everything would be easy for him and now he plays this victim card and we're supposed to feel sorry for him?

It's weak. What if Curry was a free agent last summer and he bolted for the Cavs after blowing a 3-1 lead.

What if JR Smith had kicked Klay Thompson in the nuts it's in that series and then people found out Curry had been texting JR Smith after the game and had become best friends with him. Would you respect Curry for making that move?

Kevin Durant is 28. He needs to quit talking about finding himself and becoming a man. He needs to just stick to playing basketball and quit acting like a damn victim.
