Kevin Durant: I thought championship would fill void, but it didn’t
March 31, 2018
Kevin Durant has been ejected five times this season. Nobody has been ejected more since Rasheed Wallace singlehandedly forced the NBA to crack down on technical fouls.
Durant, via Chris Haynes of ESPN:
“It’s just a part of the evolution that I’m going through,” Durant told ESPN. “I’ll be the first to admit that I’m not perfect. I don’t have all the answers. It will probably take the offseason for me to assess, ‘OK, let’s figure out how to tone this down a little.’ But I’m comfortable sharing this because all I care about is that,” he said as he pointed to the practice court.
“I love this game, and I’m going to do whatever I can to help my team get back to where we were last year. That’s what I’m excited for. That’s why you’re seeing this passion from me. Before, I used to care about the game and the lifestyle. Now, all I care about is my love for the game, the pureness of the game. This is me.”
“It’s just my emotions and passion for the game,” Durant said after Friday’s practice session. “After winning that championship (last season), I learned that much hadn’t changed. I thought it would fill a certain [void]. It didn’t. That’s when I realized in the offseason that the only thing that matters is this game and how much work you put into it. Everything else off the court, social media, perception, isn’t important. What people say, how they view you, it’s not important.
“What we did as a team was special, and I want to experience that again. My love and passion for the game has [blossomed] because I understand that’s what it’s all about, and I’m pouring all of this [newfound thirst] into this game. But I know I have to keep [my fire] under control, and I will.”
Durant has been debuting The Real Durant for years. It doesn’t always stick. He keeps trying to find himself, and I’m not sure he’s there yet. It’s hard – especially in the spotlight like he is.

Now you have an idea how Jordan feels. Now you know the torment Lebron experiences.
Have you updated Ublock lately? I did and it blocked all Twitter posts in here. I got rid of it and went back to AdBlock Plus
ohhhhhhh. that's why he been so grouchy this year
I don't think I did but might have to switch to adblock as well
since at least friday a lot of stuff is not showing unless i disable my ublock. they being really aggressive
FIXED...But you on point.
He knows that Super Friends Championship ring is a shiny paper weight because he joined an already champion caliber team to get it.
One championship in OKC would have been worth 8 of those shits.
That's why LeBron went back. He knew no one was going to respect them Super Friends rings.
He didn't.
*two cents*
Yep. He has found himself in the same place Lebron was at when he was in Miami. You can't be a competitor and want to win having shit almost handed to you. You then did what you were suppose to do. He's missing out on that joy of defying the odds and winning when you not suppose to.
Both you niggas are beyond retards if you think what he and Bron did are remotely similar. One guy left a MVP caliber top 5 teammate on a contending team and joined a 73 win title team (that he just blew a 3-1 lead against ) with 3 all NBA guys and a two time league MVP. The other left a team full of shit after 7 years of executive incompetence and joined a lottery team and made them champs. When Bron left Miami they turned back into a pumpkin.. If KD leave GSW, they are still odds on favorites to win it all. Foh.
A NBA record 73 wins team
This. He did some sucka shit to get his chip and people justified it.
I think this one will feel different. This team has faced real adversity and finally doesn’t look like the best team in the league (Rockets). Thunder also are set up to beat them based on talent and the ability to rebound.
They will earn it this year in the West.

Amazing how people keep forgetting this.
Wade wasn't top 5 at the time? Bosh wasn't top 10? In that weak ass East? It was the same shit. We've moved on. Lebron got his ring with the Cavs. He didn't go back to Cleveland out of the kindness of his heart.
Yeah if they win this year they earned it. Rockets are a great team too.
Bosh was NEVER a top 10 player in the NBA. More revisionist bullshit. And Wade was in the fucking lottery bro. I'll let you argue if he was top 5 or not. The point remains, what Bron and KD did were not remotely the same. Period.
He was the reason why the Warriors won the title. If it wasn't for him the Cavs would have won it. I don't think that's the void he is referring too.
Spent half his career there and the best they gave him was a Mo Williams and 400lb 40year old Snaq. And these slave minded mofos mad he left that shit stop. Hilarious.
Bosh was one of the best 4's in the league at that point. Y'all think he was a bum because he wasn't as good as Bron and Wade. He was the 3rd option on a team....he was the best player on the Raptors and he was the 3rd best on the Heat.
Wade was in the lottery but his teams was ass.
So was he one of the best 4's or a top 10 player? Because those are two very different assertions. And i never called the guy a bum. But we arent gonna pretend he was a top 10 player at any point in his career.
Beautiful read
He thought once he got the ring itd make him satisfied and complete and all it did was make him want more and become more passionate about getting another title and feeling that way again
That's exactly what I like to hear

Was there a couple paragraphs I missed in that article or something?
This. Durant is a bitch and will always be one. What a fag. He wouldn't last in the 90s. They would've shit talked him to suicide. The last of the Alphas retired with KG, Kobe, and Duncan (quiet Alpha). These hoes in the league now disgust me
did it link me to something different?
