How does it matter? So what if SB Nation writes an article slamming Durant? You have yet to explain why he should care. He's getting to play basketball for a lot of money with like-minded players and probably will win lots of rings. Why does he care whether a bunch of fans like it or not? Again, you seem to be of the belief that he should live his life to make a bunch of people he's never met happy.
Lil B said the curse is still on even if he goes to GSW. Keven Durant just tanked the Warriors for 2 years. The Curse is real!!!
lmao who said he can't make his own decisions? Nice try to put words in my mouth. Are you claiming that the fans don't have the right of opinion on what KD does?
You are now blatantly trolling, lol. You seem to be trying to intentionally miss the point because you disagree with consensus.
A lot of revisionist history. Lebron deserves just as much negativity. Set up two teams with multiple all-star players in the LEastern Conference with basically a free ride to the Finals every year. No, it's not to the same degree as what Durant is doing but it's still in the furthest extreme spectrum of getting entitled chances at the championship versus working towards it for your franchise. Now that Lebron has 3 rings, no one mentions how he did it, only that he did it, especially after the storyline that they fabricated. Revisionist legacies at its best. Both superstars are weak - and unfortunately championships and legacies are not built on character.

Ironically I seem to remember what a huge deal Durant made out of a single Oklahoman newspaper when they had a headline critisizing him. But sure. He doesn't care. He also doesn't care about his shoe sales~
KD's nickname from now on is, "The Coward". MVP + scoring champ joins another MVP + scoring champ and 73 win team who are already champions.

God you're dense, lol. Journalists and writers and fans document history.KD's legacy will be written by the people who you claim don't matter and your posts are getting sillier and sillier. Ofcourse what fans think should matter they are the reason he has a job in the first place. Im not an OKC fan so this isn't about bias it's about the truth. He's in the entertainment business and he wants a legacy please tell me you understand how that works?
copy cat league. Look for LeBron to cry for another super star too. The era of big 4 teams is here....and all the while the Rockets are still trying to get a big 2 twenty year old out dated system going.
Yeah, and he won't be compared to those guys either. People are smart enough to realize and compare the difficulty. Basically Durant is beating a game on easy, those other guys beat the game expert. Barkley will also be remembered for being out of shape, Iverson and Kobe will be remembered for being selfish players their entire careers, Kobe is an all time great but he's not on those guys level is he? You are creating a strawman here. This is not about if Durant cares about his legacy, we are telling you that his legacy took a hit. Whether you like it or not, regular every day people decide on his legacy because we are the ones who tell everyone around us "Yeah, I remember Durant..." we the fans decide that. That includes everyone on this forum, every other NBA forum, and the people that write about the game. I'm of the belief that even if he wins 6 rings no one will ever say "Yeah, he's better than Jordan."

You're mistaken Lebron only stopped getting ****ted on after he left Miami and now that he won in Cleveland he is beloved. KD will not be getting that with GSW, he will be seen has a weak guy with a ring. I would rather be Charles Barkley or Karl Malone atleast they are respected.
Obviously you haven't been following him and his Twitter, nor every other outlet that has retweeted it.... <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">"The BasedGod" wants to speak,As life unravels and superstars make decisions that change lifes, welcome home KD the curse is lifted - Lil B</p>— Lil B THE BASEDGOD (@LILBTHEBASEDGOD) <a href="https://twitter.com/LILBTHEBASEDGOD/status/750006844953759745">July 4, 2016</a></blockquote> <script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
You seem to not understand that "the buch of people he's never met" are the people who make his life as a basketball player matter. It's like saying Steve Jobs doesn't have to care about whether all those people are happy about his business decisions because he's never met any of them.
