    Durant Admits Worrying About Media Before Game 7 Turnaround

    May 04, 2014 10:29 AM EDT
    Kevin Durant had 33 points in the Oklahoma City Thunder's Game 7 win, reestablishing his MVP-type performance in a series in which he often struggled.
    "I got out of my own way," Durant said. "I was thinking too much. I was worrying about what [the media] was saying. I was worrying about what shots I was going to shoot throughout the game…"
    During the series, The Oklahoman printed a column about Durant with a headline of "Mr. Unreliable."
    "This is a one-sport town, and he's the superstar," Derek Fisher told Yahoo Sports. "Kevin understands it. He embraces it. The fact everybody else was going crazy over it – family and friends and fans – made it almost enjoyable for him to go out and play that night. As much as anything, it was a reminder that a lot of people cared about him here."

    Really? The most Media-coddled player in the NBA is too worried about Media's opinion of him to play like an MVP against Tony Allen?

    Imagine the mental breakdown he'd have if he actually had to deal with the media pressure that LeBron has had to face

    Yes, because Lebron didnt have the exact same quote about the media and fans getting to him prior to winning in 2012 right?

    Damn this if a fail of epic proportion by CN. I think hes trying to jerk out the last bit of seamen out of lebron. The true LeBeta had to get bailed out by Allen. Lebron is probably the most sensitive superstar ive ever seen. gets butthurt so easily.

    Durbeta vanishes for most of the Memphis series, Media blames Brooks and Westbrook like they always do when he fails
    Durbeta finally gets an iota of criticism with the "Mr. Unreliable" headline, and the newspaper that ran it literally has to apologize to him

    Imagine how much he'd wilt in a big market like New York where the local and national media would actually scrutinize him....

    And of course, Kirbystan rushing in to defend their subs ute favorite player and deflect dis

    LeBron creates his own circus.

    When the pressure was on, Durant stepped up and kicked ass....just like he is about to in round 2.
