yea i dont know why u hate Durant, you should be cheering for him to take down the lakers right now. Any enemy of my enemy is my friend.
His stupid theatrics in the beginning. From the powder to his dancing on the bench. It would be good if he was playing in a theater, but on the basketball court....meh. Durant is victim to some of the theatrics but he isn't as showy with every chance he gets.
Stunning that someone would think that Durant is what's wrong with basketball today. Kevin Durant is everything that's right with basketball. He worked tirelessly to improve himself since he was 11 years old - there's a reason his offensive game is so dangerous and varied - and his defense has gone from completely hopeless to shutting down Kobe Bryant down the stretch. Even after he left Texas he continued to maintain contact with his former teammates and the program. I can't think of anything he's done that would make him a douchebag.
As a fyi from NBA.com stats section: REGULAR SEASON RANKS Durant -Ranks #14 in the NBA in Field Goals Per 48 Minutes (11.77) Wade - Ranks #5 in the NBA in Free Throw Attempts Per 48 Minutes (12.07)
It's called showmanship. I'd rather watch someone who shows emotion, passion, flare, and something fun to watch on the court... Rather than watching a calm-mannered professional such as Tim Duncan.
Dwyane Wade gets away with the entitled superstar approach so much. He displays all the arrogant celebratory behaviors as anyone. Not trying to say all players are peas in a pod created from the same factory, but I dont see the big differences in contrast between players from Lebron to Danny Granger. All of them are probably sly arrogant asshats to some degree, who wouldnt pass the "marry my daughter" sniff test. Though Matt Barnes is noticeably annoying.
Jerome Solomon up to his old tricks again I see He's not even a Rocket you know, writing an article about him in the Chronicle wouldn't make sense at all...
There aren't very many superstars in the league if winning a scoring title and leading your team to 50+ wins doesn't get you in the club.
The way I look at it, KD said "it's not on me" because he's well aware that his team has no chance at seeing the second round this year. ...the more I think about it, he's kinda throwing his teammates under the bus. Douche!
Definitely agreed. How can you hate somebody that much....by looking at their face..-_- SMH at pointforward you need to talk to a specialist
Showmanship does not involve dancing on the bench and acting like a totally douche. And trying to call out Tim Duncan for not having passion.....4 championships, 3 NBA finals MVP, almost an all-star every year he has been in the league, and destroyed the guy you think is fun to watch in 4 straight games in the finals. How do win all of these without passion or emotion? I don't think I have to say anymore but just to kick you while your down, here's Duncan with passion, emotion, and what basketball is about. <object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/trdsKp94Io0&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/trdsKp94Io0&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>
