I don't believe it. Haven't seen it mentioned anywhere else. Source?

Crazy.

I wonder if he's going to get blasted like Lebron did when he went to Mami.

Stephen a smith saying it's the weakest move ever on ESPN when he has had personal beef with KD. Just testing him to shreds.

These ESPN personalities are so full of themselves. His personal bias is all over the place.

I thought Stephen A was "close, personal" friends with everybody? I mean, I thought Stephen A & KD were "boys." I thought they may even have sleepovers like he does with LeBron, D Wade, Melo, MJ, Shaq, etc.

Don't disagree about Stephen a smith, but has there ever been a weaker move by an NBA superstar?

So Kevin Durant goes to Golden State. I don't blame him. Steph Curry and Clay Thompson made incredible plays to win the series against OKC with the game on the line.

At the same critical junctures, Durant was dribbling off his leg, shooting terrible shots, getting emotional, and overall losing his head when it mattered most.

I don't blame him for wanting to play with guys that can come through in the clutch, because he certainly can't do it.

This post made me laugh out loud.

Twitter was literally exploding with the direct source of KD making his announcement at 10:39 AM.

Stevo is ridiculously full of himself. He insinuates that he knows something about KD... whatever. Its clear as day now that KD is the kid on a playground who loses and then immediately switches to the other team. This isn't a situation like Labron where he was running from a hopeless situation. OKC probably has/had the best roster in the NBA.

Now Curry is the 4th highest paid player on his team and he's a FA next year.

Can we go ahead and fast forward to the rematch of the rematch in the finals?

Welp, time to shut it down.

Will gsw have cap room to sign curry to max deal next summer?

Will not watch a single NBA game until the playoffs. Hope the foreign market can overcome the poor ratings for people losing interest this season.

Does this have anything to do with what team you cheer for?

When GS and OKC play, Westbrook is going to break both his wrists on the rim and collapse a lung celebrating the dunk.

I feel like this will make people watch more, personally.

No there hasn't been. Can't even imagine Isiah Thomas dropping the pistons to play with MJ.

Such a wimp move. I hope LeBron beats em again

Free Agency was not the same 30 years ago as it is now. I'll never understand why people try to compare different eras of CBAs

that's probably photoshopped

Yep, great teams draw more interest to the league. Every single game they broadcast will be more watched because people want to watch the best.

Parity isn't good for TV ratings.

None. I'm a rockets fan, I know we have zero chance in the finals and have hated our offseason. I also realize that the NBA was at its best in the late 80s to early 90s when there were superstars spread out amongst the league. Right now we have clusters of superstars in GSW, Cleveland, San Antonio and Boston is eventually going to have a few when they all grow up plus Horford. Those are your final four teams next year and I don't have to watch an ounce of basketball between November and May to tell you that.

That's why I hate the NBA, such a predictable league and the players have the weakest mindsets.

So how does this affect LeBron's legacy now that he's 3-5 in the NBA Finals?

2 years ago GS was the darlings of the league and they will now probably be the most hated team in the league.
