"Just kind of seeing how rough it is for an average black man, you know what I'm saying? And on top of that, a black man makes one mistake ... I see how far we get pushed down," Durant told the San Jose Mercury News.

Why does Durant continue to try and push the narrative that he’s had it extremely tough and had to overcome a lot of diversity to be successful? He was born with a fucking winning lottery ticket.

He’d create fake twitter accounts to defend himself from joining a 73 win team that just eliminated his old team.

Insecurity and delusion or outright dishonesty.

Was born with height and athleticism making him better off than most other black men his age: Check.

Born with elite hand/eye coordination making him better off than most other athletes in this sport: Check.

Fortunate enough to be drafted to a team with Russell Westbrook making him better off than most other guys with relatively equal height, athleticism, and hand/eye coordination in regards to being on a good team: Check.

Fortunate enough to have the chance to join one of the best teams of all time - a team that just beat his own great team - making him better off than guys with relatively equal height, athleticism, and hand/eye coordination on good teams: Check.

There was no adversity. He didn't choose "da' hardest road". There was just a clear path to greatness for him. So, either he is one of the most insecure stars we've ever seen and deluding himself to boost his own ego, or outright lying about what is clearly one of the easiest paths we've ever seen for a superstar of his caliber...Either way, he's a fucking bitch and should just shut the fuck up, collect his millions, win those easy games, and stop pretending that all of this talk doesn't bother him.

Kinda true though. Hadn't heard much push back with Hayward joining the C's, as much as it is with the other players leaving.

he went to a team a whole 2 wins better than his previous one that played in a shittier conference. Durant went to a team that was 18 games better that year.

Hayward isn't as good as Durbeta, the Celtics aren't as good as the Warriors team Durbeta joined, and Hayward has barely played for the Celtics. That's why people aren't as outraged. Even then, people were pissed at him in the offseason for the whole hours-long "will he or won't he" routine leading up to his Player's Tribune post. And Jazz fans still hate him.

Another difference is that Hayward has shut up since joining the Celtics. He's not running his mouth to the media all the time. Durbeta keeps fanning the flames of fans' anger by constantly trying to justify his free agency decision, even over a year later.

Meanwhile, CP0 is getting a huge free pass for quitting on his team in a Game 7 at home and going to Houston to be Frauden's sidekick - while blaming the Clippers for his inability to show up when it matters most. Last I checked, CP0 isn't white.

Durbeta is just using the race card as his latest pathetic excuse for why he's the biggest beta bitch in sports history. Tbh, I'm surprised it took him so long.

Human nature, I suppose IMO.

Whenever somebody gets accustomed to a certain style of living, "injustice" or "having it hard" mean different things. In Durant's case it means some meanie head made fun of him on Twitter or maybe he can't afford that mansion/private jet. Everyone forgets to be thankful over time for what they have

Damn I was just looking at the players. What a shitty draft.

"Man, as a basketball player, it's a thing in my neighborhood. Like, East Coast, if you're a basketball player, people know you as that, they know you're focusing on basketball," Durant said. "Nobody really tried to get me to be in the street life because I was either always walking to the gym or I was always in the gym.

"I had friends that got into bad s---, as far as drugs, as far as hanging around the wrong crowds, as far as just trying to make money some way, because we're stuck. It's not necessarily a fact that we're so in love with the bad s---, or the stuff that's illegal, it's just like, our people are taught to survive. So if you put us in a neighborhood, no resources, no help, nobody to just be there for us ... what else can we do but make us some easy s--- to make us some money? My mom grew up on that, my brother grew up on that."

"It definitely put me in a different place because we just started talking about stuff that's always been going on," Durant told the newspaper. "You tend to just focus on what you know, or focus on what you do every day, and sometimes you can be so far removed from where you grew up or from home that you don't realize what's going on back there. That's not because you're not woke, or you're not involved. You want to set that aside because you see a better life and you want to focus on that, but you also have to realize that you left home for a reason. So you kind of bring something back so you can help elevate where you come from."

Durant said self-reflection also helped alter his view. Basketball shielded him from the worst aspects of his surroundings, but he wondered what he would be if he weren't a basketball player.

"I didn't have it as rough when it comes to that, as far as social or systematic oppression or any social issues. They didn't really apply to me because I could put a ball in a basket," Durant said. "Just me saying that kind of woke me up a little bit, like, 'Damn, that's all I'm good for?' Like, if I wasn't a basketball player, what kind of man would they look at me as, you know what I'm saying?"

The question of his worth came up in the wake of the backlash he received from choosing to leave the Oklahoma City Thunder (http://www.espn.com/nba/team/_/name/okc/oklahoma-city-thunder) for the Warriors before last season.

"It's been a year straight of you calling me all types of names, telling me this, telling me that because I decided to play basketball in another place. Look how stupid that sounds when we got bigger issues going on, we got people that need help, that need our attention, and we're focusing on ... It's easy to lose focus as humans, so easy, and we're focusing on this. I'm going to be here for a long time, so you going to be mad for a while, and [if] you'd rather be mad for a while than just accept it, that's on you."

Durant is one of the most white black people ever. Not pre-stabbing OJ or Tiger or Williams sisters white, but he probably hates black people as much as them, but maybe not as much as Jordan does. He definitely resents being black.
