Lol, I'd call that got out if I was in the media. Ask him why he let's westbrook shoot them out of games.
http://espn.go.com/nba/allstar2015/s...akes-aim-mediaKevin Durant didn't mince words when talking to the media about the media Saturday in New York at All-Star Weekend.
"You guys really don't know s---," Durant told reporters.
Durant's striking statement came in response to a question about continued speculation about Oklahoma City Thunder coach Scott Brooks' job security. Brooks has often fallen under media criticism the past few seasons, but Durant has always been quick to defend his coach, noting during his MVP speech that Brooks doesn't get any credit, "even though you deserve all of it."
Durant was later asked what kinds of questions he'd prefer the media to focus on.
"To be honest, man, I'm only here talking to y'all because I have to," Durant said. "So I really don't care. Y'all not my friends. You're going to write what you want to write. You're going to love us one day and hate us the next. That's a part of it. So I just learn how to deal with y'all."
Durant's public persona has always been one of politeness and mild-mannered humility, with focus on politically correct answers, but the 26-year-old reigning MVP has become increasingly outspoken this season. Possibly it's related to the frustrating string of injuries that have followed around the Thunder this season (Durant has missed 26 games himself), but he says it's just that he's older and more comfortable expressing himself.
"My first few years in the league, I was just finding myself," Durant said Friday. "I think most of the time, I reacted based off of what everybody else wanted and how they viewed me as a person. I am just learning to be myself, not worrying about what everybody else says, I am going to make mistakes. I just want to show kids out here that athletes, entertainers, whoever, so-called celebrities, we aren't robots. We go through emotions and go through feelings and I am just trying to express mine and try to help people along the way. I am not going to sit here and tell you that I am just this guy that is programmed to say the right stuff all the time and politically correct answers. I am done with that. I am just trying to be me and continue to grow as a man."
i hate the media even though i'm their poster boy

Dis nig needs to go to the kirby school of media manipulation.
Is this guy serious? He needs to start facing even half the criticism that LeBron's had to deal with his entire career before whining about the media. Right now, he still gets pass after pass.
That's some fake ass HAM right there.
, I said it first years ago. Indeed Media is not your "friends." They do not mean the subject well. Therefore why anyone, sports or otherwise would give them anything never fails to gravel me.
Durant is finally being himself.
biting the hand that feeds is exactly what hurt kobe
Seems fake and contrived tbh. Trying too hard not to be a beta.Durant is finally being himself.
If by "being himself" you mean switching from one contrived fake personality to another, then sure.Durant is finally being himself.
Please do tell us what his personality should be.
I don't get why he's upset with the media considering they have always treated him with kid gloves despite his shortcomings.
idk he tried the tough guy thing in 2013 then went back to nice guy in 2014. Does he have a personality disorder?
Seriously? The guy is around peers constantly and has zero friends. You tell me.
lol got
I said it another thread. It's the Marshawn Lynch movement that everyone is copying. Durant thinks he's being cool.
this reminds me of Bud Bundy when he would try out a different cool personality after every summer.
next year he'll probably put on a cowboy hat and boots and call himself the lone servant
No wonder he hates the media
Come to San Antonio, they dont particularly like the media either
