KD a little testy

Kevin Durant of Oklahoma City Thunder takes aim at media - ESPN

 

[True Lakers Fan]

Lol He's tired of hearing their crap

Glad to see he has gone full blown whiny bitch in the past few months. Apparently the whole "humble, nice guy" thing that bought him so much love and adoration from the media/fans was just an act. Apparently the whole time he has been a self-absorbed asshole who was too afraid to show it.

Someone should remind Durant that the media is responsible for a large part of that check that he gets every few weeks.

 

[RazorsEdge]

He's definitely letting loose these days.

Kevin table is fed by the news media but that doesn't give the the right to be asses either though.

Saw this coming for 2-3 years now. He's turned into an asshole for a while & Westbrook is following his lead

 

[podsox]

I think the media has been pretty easy on him to this point of his career.

Compared to Lebron and Howard? No doubt

He and Chris Paul got life so good.

They don't have to win a title but as long as they keep losing in the 2nd round/WCF, the media will never go hard on them.

I blame Marshawn Lynch for this

We'll see how life goes for him once the "nice guy" label gets dropped and the media starts coming after him and questioning everything about his humanity.

thats the crap LeBron, Kobe and Howard have lived with their entire lives. KD has had it good, the media spoiled him.

Losing a lot of respect for him (not that it matters, but still) these past few years/months he is just becoming a smug, arrogant ass. He better start backing it up soon (a la Jordan) or else he's gonna have a shitstorm coming

And that is exactly who he sounded like.

We play too much, I don't want to talk in the press, Look at me, I'm taking a bath in wine.

Holy mother of God.

I saw a comment on Deadspin that sums this all up:

Kevin Durant: "You guys really don't know shit."

Subtext: "I've been injured, my team might not make the playoffs, Robin is becoming Batman, our former 6th man will take the MVP from me and our coach is an asshat who plays Kendrick Perkins real minutes."

 

[Flauge]

I for one hate how the way the media and players are. I love to see this from Durant. Players nowadays don't ever say anything during interviews. Look at Manning and Brady... they are robotic answers to questions. I like Durant is actually speaking his mind. I don't get why the media does have the power they do. I honestly think league MVP should be up to GMs and coaches. But hey..that's me.

 

[Lakers+USC=#1]

Excuse me, but what did Durant say that was wrong?

I blame Lynch too, which is a good thing. I hope his actions encourage more athletes to stand up to the media.

Personally - I don't think he said anything wrong

KD should just re-sign with OKC.

If he's bitching about the media now good luck if he signs for LA, NY, or WSH

 

[Beengay fudgepackers]

I take everything the media says about everything with a grain of salt. They make money selling stories, not truths. I see no problem with what KD is saying.

LOL - You said the truth on that one. Los Angeles is a circus. They asked Mike D'antoni after about five games into his first season two years ago if he ever emphasized anything about defense and does he even know what defense is. He was pissed

That's hilarious. Mike D'Antoni is just awful. Why New York and then LA signed him to coach their team is beyond me.
