And Love wasn't up 3-1 on GS then bitch out on his team instead of coming back and beating GS.
I don't blame Durant for what he did, but that doesn't not make him a bitch. Durant is weak.
Whatever LeBron did, Durant is much, much worse.
Durant will win a couple titles, everyone will forget about what he did to OKC (which in some way makes me happy because OKC may be the most despicable, horrible professional city out there and they don't deserve Durant and Westbrook), and he will be loved.
But, when he lays his head down at night, he will always know that he was a bitch. That he punked out and left his team high and dry. That he could have taken down the greatest regular season team in the history of the NBA (GS) then followed that up by beating maybe the greatest player ever (LeBron) and win a title in a small market, but instead he gave up his mantle as batman to become robin.
Durant officially took himself out of the top 10 players in NBA history with his move. Maybe out of the top 20 players ever with that move.
He will get titles, but his legacy won't ever be as glorious...unless Steph gets hurt and Durant leads GS to a title.
Joining Golden State doesnt make Durant any less of a player. I dont see how it would. Did he suddenly forget how to shoot the ball, dribble, pass, or something? What am I missing here? Why are people actually trying to make this an argument?
You need to seperate emotion from facts. Durant is stil as good as he ever was. In fact, he will likely be even better with all that new space he has to work with. You dont think he is going to be able to do even more damage now that you cant double team him, like never. Or that he is going to see more wide open shots than he has ever seen, ever, in his entire life?
Winning will cure all. If they live up to the potential and hype, and go on to win a bunch of rings, no one is going to be saying that it dropped him out of the alltime greats. Every ring he wins, he will move up the ladder that much more.
