delusional trying to convince himself that he isn't a soft ass
"I feel like it's easy to be the best player when you don't have good players around you. I feel like it's harder to stand out when you have great players around you," Durant told Yahoo Sports. "I pride myself on standing out wherever I am. I pride myself on working hard wherever I go. And I feel like these guys embraced me and I feel like I'm a Warrior."

Since it's so "easy," I'd love to see what Durbeta would do on an actual trash team like this year's Cavs. My guess is he would have lost to the Pacers.
Like I said before we’re in an era of an NBA where the league’s generation of superstars don’t want to compete against each other. And now they expect to receive the same accolades as the game’s greatest predecessors without beating the best compe ion. Hopefully the next generation of stars don’t try this kind of crap or we’re going to continue to see significant imbalance in the NBA.
Stupid quote but I actually understand what he’s saying. It’s easier to put up big numbers when your teammates aren’t any good because you get to put up a ton of shots. But if you got a bunch of all stars on your team, you have to sacrifice numbers because you share production, particularly scoring. It’s still stupid to say, but I get what he’s getting at. However, he does fail to mention that even if you can put up big numbers when you don’t have great teammates, it’s much easier to win when you do.
Part of it likely him feeling insecure about criticism on the way he’s won his les. Also probably a little bit of a dig at Westbrook.
this phuckers gotry knows no bounds.
Imagine Bird wanting to join the Lakers. I can't imagine it, the idea is laughable on its face.
No League For Old Fans
The Superteam concept isn't going away, and I doubt it is a generational issue. Superteams are a marketing strategy.
Potential basketball-as-entertainment consumers don't care about regional/traditional team rivalries. They want easily accessible and recognizable brands - that's what Superteams deliver.
I wager that GS jerseys are the number one sellers in China, and possibly worldwide.
Meh
The superteam concept has always been there.
It was done differently, but it's old as
Who has pulled the stunt like Durant has?
What Durbeta did is far beyond "the superteam concept." Calling the Warriors a "superteam" is an understatement.
I have no problem with dominance. Shaq and Kobe’s Lakers were dominant, Jordan’s Bulls were dominant, Duncan’s Spurs were dominant. What we are currently seeing from KD and Warriors is imbalance and now they might try to make another move for a star. I’m actually surprised more NBA fans aren’t annoyed by this tbh.
Tbh...this team was the reason Lebron had to out move everyone and join Miami. That caused the out move by KD to Warriors eventually
Most people I talked to outside of this forum hate the Warriors and I live in Charlotte which is Steph's hometown. The Warriors to me are like Justin Bieber sure Bieber has a lot of fans but he has far more haters than fans. I view the Warriors the same way hence why they get good ratings is because the large number of haters are hoping to see them fail. I have gone to other forums and fans despise them over there. The only fans that are not annoyed by the Warriors tends to be Laker fans and Lebron haters.

damn, not so subtle dig at Russ... can't believe he still holds a beef
never at this level tho. this broke boundaries. it would be like wilt joining the celtics or barkley joining the 93 bulls. this has to be one of the raunchiest gotry in the history of ’s.
His logic is flawed, you can't be the best until you beat the best. Is he saying the compe ion is against his teammates to see who can be the best on the team?
The thing against Durant is that he bailed on a great team without showing great leadership. LeBron left a dumpster fire on Cleveland and came back to win one. Durant will likely spend his whole prime sleep waking to multiple championships rather than show he triumphed over adversity. Weak weak weak
SO, when has he ever not had a great supporting cast? How would he even know what it is like to have to carry a bad team?
The comparison is laughable. Had Durant left OKC to lead a new group to beat GSW, it would've been an apt comparison. Instead, Durant joined the 72-win team he couldn't beat.
I always use the example of how this would be equivalent to Duncan joining the Lakers during the summer of '02. Could you imagine how dull the league would be if you had Duncan-Shaq-Kobe all playing on the same team. That's a run of at least 5-6 les in a row.
exactly

I'm so happy you have a million s up your ass right now. You're the ultimate loser. You've been on a hopping bonanza for years and years. CP3's was too short so you ran to a gay in Tammy s, his was too gay and then you ran to another midget steroid in Bron. You're such a ing sucker / guzzler. I'm glad nothing is going your way. Ya ing simp. LOL
This is possible code for Lebron
I read it as taking a shot at Lebron.damn, not so subtle dig at Russ... can't believe he still holds a beef
