    Bron is a man kd is a lil snake bish. And Durcant will never hold up against Bron. I can at least respect Bron, canโ€™t say the same as Durcant. Bron may never be mj but he truly is a decent dude and really is a top player in history. I didnโ€™t like the Miami move but by all standards what Durant did was far more insidious and destructive. He truly was a coat tail rider. Bron had more class going back to his home despite disputes. Maybe it is a dc thing plenty of snake traitors Caleb Williams and Durant. ๐Ÿค” who knows whatever the case Durant legacy will forever be incomplete and he will never be glorified or known as a top 5 or even 10 player. Shame because he looked like second coming of mj for awhile. I think okc knew what he was as a shell of a person a kid who didnโ€™t know who he was and they steer him well keeping him in check raising him right, but he instead thought he knew better, like the entire Tupac tat are you kidding me dude you were in the west for a hot minute son acting like you were hard kid. Charmin soft inside and out. Amazing talent he could have been great who know even considered the greatest but it was not meant to be๐Ÿฅฒ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿคฃ whelp okc did well for itself they have a real man of action in shai a champion who shows class despite cry babies like booker and brooks. His response to that shows he is all class and carries himself with integrity. Comes to work works hard wins and doesnโ€™t hold animosity. Just a overall great person calm as can be. Where is Durant a toothpick picking fights.the guys a thug who thinks heโ€™s a guru no wonder heโ€™s single always no wife. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ dude said he drink scarlet Johansson bath water

    Stephen A. Your lifelong mission to elevate KD above LeBron has failed. Let it go. Excuses after excuses after excuses for KD. STFU.

    “KD is a mercenary, he’s not going to work on young teammates to build them etc etc, find him a team where he can drop 30 and walk off and that’s perfect” –

    Essentially what this guy is saying is that KD is a bus rider
