Can a favela monkey shoot this fuck in the face?

Everyone in America would appreciate it. Thank you

I always watched NBA just for the good basketball, never had a favorite team.

Please tell me why people hate Durant so much. I'm not even gonna try defending him, just honestly intrigued.

I get the hate LeBron gets, along with a few other players, but I don't know what scandal KD made.

He had a great setup at Oklahoma City. They were in the playoffs and serious contenders for the finals. But instead of building on that franchise, he abandoned them, and went for the easiest route possible to get a ring.

That's how I understand it. He's stacked GSW in a way that they look too strong to beat next year.

Cowardice

Pure and simple.

Instead of remaining loyal to the team that drafted him, he jumped onto a team that won 73 games last year.

Cowardice is not an American trait.

He was drafted by the Seattle Sonics, not OKC dude.

they also happened to be the team that eliminated his team from the playoffs last year

So the Sonics didn't become the Thunder? I learn something new everyday.

The reason why Durant is in the NBA is because of the Sonics/Thunder organization. You never bite the hand that fed you.

He will never win shit.

he pulled the equivalent of leaving atletico this year for Barcelona on a free after spouting bullshit about loyalty

no reason people just hate success same reason they hate lebron

What I don't get is why LaMarcus Aldridge didn't get any hate for joining the Spurs?

That's the reason? Well okay, many do that for money and TV minutes. They're just divas.

He does play nice basketball, though.

It's different in this case because KD is supposed to be a top 5 player in the league. He isn't an alpha

He isn't That good, I guess that's why.

>he isn't an alpha

Doesn't really have anything to do with why people want him dead... unless you want his dick, but don't find him attractive.

Cowardice traditionally incurs a penalty of death in pre-PC era America.

He took the easy way out in trying to win a championship. This goes beyond sports entertainment but to the very ethos of our nation.

>mfw people get upset about Durant leaving OKC, which was never going to win a championship, to an actual contender that will win multiple championships, because it's "cowardly"
>mfw these same people would jump at the chance to have an easier job with similar pay

Hating someone for doing what's best for themselves is for basic bitches.

>comparing sports to desk jobs

It isn't the same.

Why do people still expect empathy and manners from Africans? 0.2% of blacks I met had them.

There werent 10 million people watching me switch from Target Corporate to Compass Groups
There werent any HR championships or playoffs that millions of dollars are spent on by massive corporations
And there sure as fuck werent any rings or milluons of dollars on the line

even worse that he joined the team that knocked them out of the playoffs when OKC was up 3-1, and Durant went to choke mode for the rest of the series

Kevin used to talk about how he is going to stay.. how the everyone should try to beat the super teams... He was also in a championship contender team that almost beat a 73-9 team in the playoffs. What's even worse is that he joined the team that kicked him out of the playoffs!! Now that team has the past 3 MVPs..

What I don't get is that a lot of nignogs supported LeBron after the decision but almost no one is supporting Durant now.

>The reason why Durant is in the NBA is because of the Sonics/Thunder organization. You never bite the hand that fed you. He will never win shit.

You mean like LeBron?

LeBron be a real nigga n shit
Durant be an uncle Tom mufugga nowaimsayin?

Fuuuuuuuck Kevin Duraaaaaaaaaant

>being too much of a pussy to play lil b 1 on 1

>Oklahomafags still this buttmad
go fuck your sister, jethro. Only literal cucks stay in oklahoma if they don't have to.

the curse has been lifted

>implying Thunderfags are the only people that want him shot in the face

one of the better things about american sports is the parity. there's no real madrid, theres no junventus, no psg, no bayern munich. theres a lot of teams who realistically have a chance.
now, with gsw, everyone expects them to win, they're supposed to win. it takes away from the excitement of the league.

Bitch move by the based god desu. But a necessary evil seeing as how he's from the bay.

Ok OP. I'll see what I can do.

stay positive - lil b

Will another 2011 Mavs come into power?

You will forever be a hero in Oklahoma if you pull it off

>The reason why Durant is in the NBA is because of the Sonics/Thunder organization.

im pretty sure someone else would have drafted him.

>implying thunderfags aren't the only ones still so butthurt they'd start a thread about it on opening weekend of the olympics
get over it it, Chief Runningbrownwater

He a bitch nigga

I don't fault players for leaving the cities that draft them, but to Golden State is a bitch move, son

>Cowardice is not an American trait.

Half of us are going to vote for a literal retard for president because they're pissing themselves over black people, mexicans, and muslims.

Cowardice will be a defining trait of America until white people either grow some balls or get bred out of relevance.

America is retarded when it comes to sports
"Oh you root for the best team? Bandwagoner XDDD"
"Oh this team has the best record ever and might win back to back rings? REEEEE"
All while wearing a Lelbron jersey with some Jordans. Most hate success because they live in shit holes and got nothing to do

Why is it ok for bench players or washed up stars to move to championship contender, but not a top player?

This happens in other sports all the time and while the fans of the team the star left are bitter, everyone else doesn't really care.

Insulting Based God is not enough?

>Cowardice
>Pure and simple.
>Instead of remaining loyal to the team that drafted him, he jumped onto a team that won 73 games last year.
>Cowardice is not an American trait.

Explain to me how being forced to play for years for a team you don't give a shit about and having literally no choice but to play for them because of some socialist draft system designed to enforce "parity" IS an American trait?

I literally have no sympathy for "b-b-but we DRAFTED him" faggots. The only exception is when people get drafted by their hometown or favorite teams.

>He will only win gold medals
Fixed that for you. OKC on the other hand will never win shit. Pic related, it's a typical okfag

>triggered Worriers fans ITT

Doesn't matter LeBron and Kyrie will beat the memeiors again

>KD
>Born in washington DC
>Attended college in Texas
The wampum in cucklahoma were always going to hate KD if he ever left desu. They wouldn't have even drafted him if they weren't in Seattle at the time.

He was always a beta bitch nigga, couldn't handle the fact that OKC became WestGOD's team so he left to become the bitch of curry and draymond

plain and simple, dude's a bitch nigga

>Basketball
>Parity

The Lakers and Celtics would like a word with you

You never bite the hand that feeds you

If the Thunder never developed KD, he wouldn't have a career. That's called being a traitor

older and barely all star

And if it weren't for KD, Oklahoma City would only be known for the bombing

>You never bite the hand that feeds you
>If the Thunder never developed KD, he wouldn't have a career. That's called being a traitor

Considered one of the best products to come out of college over the last 10 years, was ultimately selected 2nd in his draft.

Yet the Thunder alone could have developed him. Everywhere else he would have failed.

Plus, the Thunder is clearly a charitable organization. It's not like they made profit off of his success and likeness at all. What an ungrateful traitor, right?

Is this level of delusion the product of Oklahoma's 48th ranked education system in the US?

people actually like and respect the spurs. Also LA is from Texas and went to college in Texas, so going back to Texas isn't surprising.

If you're at the peak of your game.. you wouldn't want to have a championship at some point? I have no qualms about him leaving. He was a free agent. Let's go to a team that has a realistic shot. The burden of carrying the team (Westbrook is beast though) isn't there the same way. I appreciate that he was a hero in OKC but fuck. Sports isn't limited to this either. It's business related too. And wanting something to remember when you were part of the best team of the year. Loyalty is a fine thing. Let him do what he wants for a while.

>inb4 muh OKC merch I bought

Al Horford committed conditionally, Adams, Horford, Durant, Oladipo, Westbrook, would have won a ring bro

For LeBron, it's the HOW. Not the fact he was joining Miami. If he had not made a spectacle if his leaving, it would be just another blockbuster trade ala Garnett to Celtics.

For the Durant it's the WHAT and the WHY. He left a team he played in the WCF - that he almost beat, that he and Westbrook suited up against, going up 3-1 and already hosting the b2b MVP and the best record in the league.

If he went to SAS, no one would have said much. Even the Wizards and John Wall or, Hell, Toronto because he supported them.

It would have been like LeBron leaving for the Celtics. In fact, if he did go to the Celtics in '10 it would have definitely been a bigger fire.

That's what makes Durant such a faggot

He really does need to be stripped of his citizenship

there are literally no blacks in Norway though

>Texted Westbrook after the decision
If you did that to your Bros, you don't even have to be Durant or famous - I'd call you out myself.

What socially awkward, rude twat does that?

>people can't change in 6 years!!

Bootyblasted Oklahomo residents detected. Durant did what is best for his career

Westbrook is a isoballing faggot who never passes unless he gets an assist. Thunder coaching is trash. He deserves a real coach like Kerr. Real unselfish teammates like the ones in GSW.

He deserves to live in the Bay and not in a shithole like OKC. I guarantee if any one of you, or any other world class player had to make this decision, they would pick GS in a heartbeat. People are only mad at Durant because they don't like GS. If he had joined spurs (like aldridge who got no flak) or had joined the Cavs no one would have cared.

Yall need to grow the fuck up and realize the world doesn't revolve around you. Once KD wins 5 rings, no one is gonna be talking shit anymore. Iggy left DEN and he got a finals mvp out of it. If he had stayed due to some bullshit concept of "loyalty" he wouldn't have got shit done.

Being loyal to a corporation that can and will trade and fuck you over if they get the chance isn't smart.

As a neutral party I am strongly for Durant's decision because now we get to see some of the world's most beautiful basketball being played.

>He deserves Oakland
Is this meant to be an insult or a boon? I'm getting hot and cold signals here.

You're from Malaysia so I'll give you a pass. Only the stadium is in Oakland. He can live 10 minutes away in SF if he wants and will do. None of the GS players live in Oakland

If any BRbros wanna do a solid for Sup Forums pls do it

Because all their teams stand literally no chance now. That's it.

>I don't know how drafting works

What great set up? OKC board or owner or wtvr showed no ambition. What did he do after they lost the final against Miami Heat a couple of years a go? Nothing!
Kevin Duirant did the right thing in leaving them. Besides OKC alread betrayed the Seattle fans. It hurts? kek deal with it

>Can a favela monkey shoot this fuck in the face?
Nope, we're not subhuman niggers like americans.

M8 ur country is probably too retarded to know how to count the shootings. i'm sure your favelas get 100 deaths a day

He lied about not wanting to take a recruiting tour aor getting recruited, but proceeded to throw the most lavish free agency recruitment week and media circus ever.
He lied about wanting to "be competitive" and once criticized people for going to big markets and forming superteams, something he proceeded to do.

He didn't even call Westbrook to say he's leaving or explain why he's leaving. He was too scared to leave his house in the Hamptons the day he made his decision and claimed "he was scared of being run over" in backlash to going to Golden State.
Since Westbrook resigned he's refused to talk to Westbrook or even congratulate him. Says "it's a touchy subject so I'm not going into that."

He's a piece of shit coward that's too scared to even live by his own decisions and be a man and talk to his former friends and colleagues and properly break up or even amend relationships.

He just left with nothing but a shitty letter prewritten by his handlers and agents on the Players Tribune filled with fake words with no sincerity.

He's refuses to be real and just come out and say what he really feels.

He also claimed he called Westbrook before he made the decision but Westbrook confirmed Durant didn't and Westbrook found out the same as everyone else, from the news/social media.

Now KD is getting blasted by the media for not being a man and a lot of people have lost personal respect for him and his claims of competitiveness and his true will to win are in question as he's left a role as a leader for a follower in GS.

>tfw okc with KD would have been the best team in the league by far
>tfw okc were probably gonna win a ring next year anyway
>tfw KD is the reason they didn't do it this year because he basically choked his team out of a 3-1 lead
>tfw he then had the audacity to go to the GOAT reg season team and the team that beat him
I just don't get what the fuck he was thinking. Unless Presti was molesting him there's no smart reason to go. Any Golden State rings are entirely worthless because they're SUPPOSED to win

Lil b is such a pussy, just bandwagons hard. Can't believe no one called him out for supporting both the Cavs and Dubs in the 2015 finals

>Durant did what is best for his career
Nope

how do people think he will be better on GSW? other than playing with curry and not durant, curry still has terrible shot selection. how is durant going to average 25ppg with curry and thompson both looking to shoot around 15-20 times a game? not to mention they lost half of their bench. does durant really make up for them losing half of their role players?

"curry and not westbrook"

>tfw cucklahoma have been saying every year since 2012 that next year is their year, only to get fucked by their own incompetent management every time

>flip 30 year old Ibaka for Oladipo, Ilyasova and literal baby Sabonis
That's like the best move by any management in years, Russ-Dipo-KD can be a big 3 and then you have 2 excellent role players in Adams and Kanter. Plus it's not like Ilyasova is a bad player, he can start. He'll be the worst starter out there, but he can still start.

>joining the team that allows him to get the most rings, aka getting the most out of his career and not staying with chokelahoma
yes

Ibaka is 26 and one of the best pure defensive players in the league. I don't doubt him being traded away was a factor in Durant leaving. It was basically their front office saying "LOL we don't want to win a championship! We just want to squeeze everything out of Durant/Westbrook and cuck this dumbass state!"

Not all rings are created equal.

1 OKC ring > 3 GSW rings
Considering it's pretty unlikely Golden State will get 3 or more rings because they got rid a lot of their role players and won't be able to keep their big 4 for long, I don't see this move paying off. He'd have gotten a statue in OKC, he's just getting forgotten on GS.

Ibaka SAID he's 26, but he's a Congolese player and a lot of guys out of Africa have had issues with lying about age. Considering how much he's slowed down and lost ability to score/rebound, I'd say it's quite likely that he's older than stated. His downward curve shouldn't happen at 26, he should be entering his prime. He's also not exactly DPOTY material any more, he's certainly great still but it doesn't make up for a lot of other stuff. He also wasn't working in that system at all and was a detriment to the starting 5 far too often. Shifting him for a guy like Ilyasova while strengthening your guard rotation was a great move.

Do you even watch the Thunder/basketball in general

>Not all rings are created equal.
Except, you know, they are. Doesn't mean shit how you get it.

OKC is a small-market team with the best home crowd in the sport. They're a bunch of sincere yokel dokel types who genuinely love the team because it's the only thing there.

KD shit on this because as Stephen A. Smith says "he wants to go somewhere you can order sushi at 4 AM".

He also fucked over the team by waiting til the very last minute to decide.

He also signed with the team that beat him in the Western finals.

He was also up on this team 3-1 and choked the series away.

It then came to light that the Warriors were actively recruiting him this entire time, which makes his choking seem shady as fuck.

Also keep in mind that OKC got absolutely fucked over in the Western finals b/c one of the Warriors' key players blatantly kicked an OKC in the dick TWICE and didn't get suspended.

Also, by signing with the warriors, Durant literally ruined the NBA because no other team has a chance of winning now.

Also, Durant is a douchebag who wants to be a "villain".

I could keep going. There's literally a million reasons to hate Durant now.

Why do you think this? Do you really consider LeBron's Miami ring equal to his Cavs ring, or any of Kobe's first 3 as Robin equal to his 2 as Batman, or Dirk's ring over say Shaq's heat ring?

>Do you even watch the Thunder/basketball in general
>implying he's ever watched basketball before 2008
Enjoy watching OKC circle the drain with westgod turning into a slightly better version of Carmelo Anthony now that Durant isn't there to hold it all together.

Yes? Are you retarded?

>They're a bunch of yokel dokel types
this is literally the only accurate part of this post

Oh that's not my point, I'm saying Durant SHOULD have stayed because HAD he stayed it'd be a perfect situation. The present situation is anything but ideal.

I don't even know how to explain this to you. Does that mean that you think that, for example, Luke Walton's 2 championships are equal to Hakeem Olajuwon's, despite Olajuwon having to do a lot more work for his? I don't think you're in much of a position to be slinging around words like "retard"

There would be no REKT threads with out Brazil.

>perfect situation
OKC fans have been saying every year since they lost in the finals to the Heat. But then OKC went full retard and never looked back. The only retards at this point are the fans who blindly support it.

So Durant's rings won't matter because >muh hard work

?!?! as opposed to voting for a globalist, warmongering demon?

I somewhat agree but stop quoting every line like that you fucking retard

Yes, no one remembers GP won a ring because he was barely a factor in the Heat in 06. It sas Wade, Shaq, Walker, Haslem. No one will remember Barnes was a champion in 3 years since he wasn't one of golden state's core and etc.

But that doesn't matter. What matters is that the player has the ring. Do Messi's champion league wins not matter because he has a super team around him?

Yes, please Brazil

We'll give you our gold in shooting if you can do this one favor

>burgerheads worshipping celebrities so much that they literally hate someone for leaving a BASKETBALL TEAM to join another lmao

can this be made up?

Would you not say that they were favourites to get a championship? After being the strongest team in the playoffs (and choking spectacularly, but still), they added the exact pieces they needed and shipped the one guy that didn't fit. Meanwhile, their competition only got slightly worse. LeBron is gonna age a bit more every year and it's gonna take its toll (hard to slow him down but it's more than nothing) and GSW were set to lose some pieces + their rotation is aging.

There's no way you really watch/play basketball seriously with these opinions, either that or you're baiting. I should not have to explain this much to you. It absolutely does not "just matter" that the player has the ring, it's what they did to earn it. Basketball is a 5-man squad on the court, which means there's enough room within that team game for an individual to affect the outcome significantly - see Iverson dragging a trash team to the finals and getting a win on the Lakers. It's not comparable to football, and the rings absolutely hold different weights. The players with multiple rings always have favourites because they MEAN MORE seriously what don't you get

OP...take a soldering iron, stick it up your ass, plug it in and switch it on.

>I enjoy watching Lebron push off in the paint while travelling then watching him go to the line

Kill yourself cuck
