Кэвин Дурант Голдэн Стэйт Уорриорс багт өнгөрүүлсэн цаг хугацаа болон өөрийн өв уламжлалын талаарх маргаанд дахин холбогдож, Филадельфия Севенти Сиксерс багийн шинэ бүрэлдэхүүнийг 2017 оны Голдэн Стэйт Уорриорс багтай цаасан дээр харьцуулахад илүү сайн гэж мэдэгджээ. Тэрээр сагсан бөмбөгийн тоглолт зөвхөн оноо авах тухай байдаг гэж үздэгээ илэрхийлсэн нь олон нийтийн шүүмжлэлийг хүлээсэн байна.
Үүний хариуд түүний хуучин багийн андууд болох Дрэймонд Грин болон Клэй Томпсон нар Кэвин Дурант өөрийн жинхэнэ бус буюу хуурамч хаягаасаа бичиж байна гэж эндүүрсэн бололтой хэмээн олон нийтийн сүлжээнд байр сууриа илэрхийлжээ. Дрэймонд Грин сагсан бөмбөгийн талаарх Кэвин Дурантын үзэл бодол хэт нэг талыг барьсан бөгөөд зөвхөн оноо авах буюу шидэлтүүдэд төвлөрдөг болохыг онцлон тэмдэглэсэн байна.
Кэвин Дурант Голдэн Стэйт Уорриорс багт байхдаа хоёр удаагийн аварга болж, шигшээ тоглолтын үнэ цэнэтэй тоглогчоор шалгарч байсан ч багийнхаа амжилтад хүрсэн нөхөрлөл болон хуучин хамтрагчдаа шүүмжилсэн нь зохимжгүй үйлдэл болж хувирлаа. Одоо 38 насны босго алхаж буй тэрээр Голдэн Стэйт Уорриорс багийн бүрэлдэхүүнд авсан хоёр аваргаасаа өөрөөр аварга авч чадаагүй хэвээр байна.

NEW ORLEANS, LA – OCTOBER 28: Draymond Green #23, Kevin Durant #35, and Klay Thompson #11 of the Golden State Warriors celebrate during a game against the New Orleans Pelicans at Smoothie King Center on October 28, 2016 in New Orleans, Louisiana.

Kevin Durant is still in his feelings about his legacy on the Golden State Warriors. The Warriors already won the 2015 championship, and had just blown a 3-1 lead against the Cleveland Cavaliers in the 2016 NBA Finals following a record-breaking 73-win regular season when Durant hit free agency. Durant signed with the Warriors, which was only possible through a one-time salary cap spike in addition to Stephen Curry being signed to a cheap rookie extension. Golden State would win the championship the next two seasons with Durant being named NBA Finals MVP both years, but his rings never got the respect they deserved as fans accused him of taking the easy way out.
Now 10 years later, Durant turned a question about the Philadelphia 76ers’ offseason additions of LeBron James and Jaylen Brown into a defense of his decision to join the Warriors. Durant said “The last time three 20+ point scorers were together on a team, they said it was unfair.” Durant also said next season’s Sixers are better than the 2017 Warriors on paper.
As fans continued the debate in the comments section on social media, Durant chimed in again to rip his former Golden State teammates Klay Thompson and Draymond Green. Green immediately responded by saying Durant forgot he wasn’t on his burner account, which he has a long history of using to defend himself and criticize his teammates.
Thompson posted a screenshot of Durant’s Instagram comment, and asked why he used his full name to take a shot at him.
Green came over the top on Threads, and said Durant must have thought he was on his burner.
I fully believe that Draymond is right here. Durant probably thought he was on his burner when he left this comment. Would he really bash Klay and Draymond like that in public? It’s such a bad look.
Why is Durant equating prime Steph Curry with broken down Joel Embiid? Why is he compared his prime self to 42-year-old LeBron James? Why does he only care about offense? Honestly, no one is buying KD’s argument.
Durant joined a team that won a championship and had just broken the league’s all-time wins record. The Sixers haven’t reached the conference finals since 2001. I put Philly at No. 5 in my preseason power rankings, and even that felt like a little bit of an optimistic placement. When KD went to the Warriors, it felt like no other team had a chance to even compete.
Draymond then used his podcast to keep the conversation going, saying Durant thinks basketball is only about buckets.
Say what you will about KD, but the man loves getting into hoop debates online. I think that’s cool even if it often feels like he crosses the line. You can talk ball without ripping your teammates, and this has now been a problem for Durant at multiple stops. He essentially threw his Rockets teammates under the bus in a Twitter group chat last season with no real consequences. Now he’s trying to diminish the greatness of two players who helped him win the only rings of his career.
Durant is in a tough position. The Warriors won championships both before he signed with the team, and then after he left to join the Brooklyn Nets. He still hasn’t won a ring outside of Golden State, and now he’s about to enter his age-38 season. KD is still an excellent scorer, but at this point it feels more likely than not that he retires with only two championships, both with the Warriors.
Durant needs to throw his phone in the ocean, and just enjoy being a super rich, super awesome basketball player who is still performing at a high level in his late 30s. The burner accounts are ugly, and in this case, it’s even worse when you forget which account you’re using. At a certain point, the relationships become the best part of championship runs. It sure seems like KD might not have a great relationship with Draymond and Klay.
