You just don't do that for the most LOYAL superstar in the league. This dude could've been gone but no, he reupped in Oklahoma(no disrespect Swipe) and didn't run to a big city like everyone else.

most loyal


wtf........he accepted the reup after his rookie deal

just stop :smh: :smh:

tell you what lets revisit this when his deal is up...if he doesnt have a championship by then lets see his "loyalty" then
 

Durant has been a model citizen and player. Didnt he donate a million to the tornado's?

Instead on directing the headline at the real problem, Scott Brooks, they attack the nice guy. Headline shoulda said Mr. Simple with Brooks pic for that simple offense they run.

:bravo: OKC. Cant wait till he leaves town and goes to a real coach.

he has a big game tonight they back on his jock
 
Those idiots are going to run him out of town and then they'll turn into the pre Chris Paul clippers

Man I predicted this years ago when LeBron left to Miami when I wrote why it was almost impossible for small market teams to win.
 
LMBAO@"Mr. Unreliable"

OKC is finally challenging Durant to win! I say he plays big tonight. This is a good thing. :cool:
 
if OKC loses tonight.....they not gonna go in on Durant as bad
now on the other hand.....if it were the Heat losing a series.....they'd be in Lebron's shit til next season.
 
I got the thunder to win because well....they have the superstars

Durant will have something to prove and well Tony Allen is just gona have to deal with the fact that he will be in foul trouble this game man lol

Westbrook will not shoot more shots than KD tonite...belee dat
 
All I know is if the pacers lose tonight get out the grill. Im bbqing all you niggas who drank that kool aid

Y'all niggas better edit your post now cause I'm going in
 
But seriously y'all know what's the funny shit in all this

Pacers worrying bout the heat all year and now bout to be embrassed by the hawks

Nets lost the last few games on purpose so they can face the heat in the second round since they swept them in the reg season... Nets were better off facing Chicago and then meet the pacers or hawks in the second round... They would have a better chance getting to the ecf lmaooo

Straight back firing :smh:

shit started crumbling when they traded Granger......
got even worse when Hibbert started calling his teammates selfish
...of course his play never improved and just got more horrible.
then you got inhouse fighting and bickering amongst the pacers players.
those dudes losing because they're not focused. the house of cards
have come crumbling down on em. they were looking too far ahead
to the ECF to even see Atlanta. now blood is in the water and Atlanta
bout to start a feeding frenzy on they asses tonight.

Mofos need to stop worrying bout Miami, it fucks them up every time while Miami skate right to the finals
 
Heat vs Raptors
Hawks vs Wizards.

OHHHH !!!!!!!!!!!
What a thrill!!!!!!

At least theres some excitement out west.

Pacers...well theyve always been a joke. Last year was a fluke.


SO........ this makes, what, three years of easy rides to the finals for the Heat?
I wish Jordan had easy rides like that.
Bulls wouldve won 12 titles in a row.
 

What's up with the double standard ? If LeBron or Kobe were in KD's shoes right now, having won the MVP but then shooting horribly and leading his team to a 3-2 deficit against the #7 seed in the first round of the playoffs, people would be roasting him alive with the rest of the country and the national press. ESPN would be having a field day with this... I find this ridiculous. Is it because everyone loves Durant but people hate LBJ and Kobe ??

You know what it is already

Bron for the 3peat
 
Now you might and most likely will tune me out but this is absolutely true.

Clear differences between Kobe Lebron And K.D. and they all have to do with off the court.

and all of the things i am going to mention run through the current span of k.d.'s career.

2 of the 3 mentioned were crowned the next best thing out of high school. 1 of them went #1 overall the other was traded to one of the most storied franchises in the nba.

1 of the three had a monster year in college but because he couldn't bench press 185lbs there were people out there wondering if he should be a high pick.


It's all media driven that's why they have the highest praise and toughest criticism. to the year in which k.d. is in, lebron and kobe were the most talked about players in the game loved and hated. k.d. has been neutral in support. people just say he's a "fine player"

he is reaching true superstar status now because here comes the true nature of the media. it's not a if this was lebron scenario. if k.d. had the hype around him before he stepped on the court, he would have had the scrutiny TOO. but that's why there aren't a million lebron's and it's hard to reach that level. he's getting there NOW because it's taken them so long to even notice him right or wrong.

the comparisons to this point as far as if this was him or him don't apply imo because the entire career arc off the court with the fans and media have been different. when you've been crowned as kobe a successor to jordan and lebron as just the king before you even do anything in the league.. all of that comes with it.

from now on he's going to join that club. and they'll start to talk about him not winning it all and not winning in the finals, the better he gets the more it will come. he was just looked at as a scorer but not there yet...this is media im talking about. now he is there and will begin to get the same treatment.

if he doesn't win in the next few years, watch what they call him.
 
I kind of agree with that....


however I would say for the last three years there have been people saying that KD is better than Lebron....


KD had an absurd regular season....seriously bananas. Going to be the runaway MVP winner. He is a superstar.

Superstars get held to unfair standards...Chris Paul, Melo, Harden, etc

This situation is amplified because of the seeding in this series. People...and I include myself in this, thought that they would have wrapped this series up in 5 or 6 games.

Lastly...people dont want to see the MVP go out in the first round. People flambed Dirk when it happened.
