#KevinDurant ‘s easy path: 10 years later. How taking the easiest route has its own consequences. · The Facts with Jamal 🇺🇸🦅👊

• 0:02
  They say in life. There was never going to be.
• 0:05
  Any way? And they always.
• 0:08
  Mention how sometimes. If you.
• 0:12
  Try and find the easiest. Route.
• 0:16
  To where you. Think you can be?
• 0:20
  Sure you might. Reap the rewards for it.
• 0:24
  In the immediate, but the. Long term aftermath.
• 0:30
  Yeah, so believe. It or not, this is the reason
• 0:40
  why I've never been a person that always thought easy way.
• 0:45
  Is the best way. Sometimes the more treacherous
• 0:49
  path. Is the way to go, but.
• 0:56
  For. One NBA player.
• 1:01
  Currently now if you know. This I actually did a topic.
• 1:06
  On not that long ago, but considering the.
• 1:11
  Fact that it's been literally almost a decade.
• 1:14
  Or. Actually has.
• 1:16
  Been a decade. Since he.
• 1:18
  Decided to tip the balance of power his.
• 1:23
  Way it put. Essentially 2 years.
• 1:30
  Of the NBA. That was completely.
• 1:32
  Unwatchable How? His way of.
• 1:38
  Trying to get. Easy championships.
• 1:46
  How he? How?
• 1:47
  The path of. You know, join.
• 1:50
  In opposition that just a month. Earlier, had beat.
• 1:55
  Him. As a century now.
• 2:00
  More than a decade. Later put him in a negative.
• 2:04
  Light which? Quite frankly, is more fitting
• 2:08
  and well deserved. Which ultimately begs the.
• 2:12
  Question. Why?
• 2:15
  After a decade. Later.
• 2:17
  Kelly Durant's. Legacy.
• 2:20
  Deservedly so. Has taken a massive.
• 2:24
  Hit of his own doing. And how the easy way out, ten
• 2:29
  years later, has now become the defining.
• 2:34
  Part of his legacy? Well.
• 2:44
  There was no. Mistake Kevin Durant.
• 2:48
  One of the. Great scores in NBA history.
• 2:51
  I mean it would be. Cycle interest of me to say that
• 2:54
  he's not he's he's one of the great scores in NBA.
• 3:03
  History will. Be long for me to say he's not.
• 3:06
  But he. Is also somebody.
• 3:08
  Mind you. That can be largely sensitive.
• 3:14
  If you try the same negative things about him and.
• 3:18
  Look. Every superstar NBA.
• 3:20
  Player could pass also my path knocks on them and if you.
• 3:31
  Pretty much have. Seen you.
• 3:33
  On your accounts. Or even in this case show.
• 3:36
  Accounts Katie has. You can see.
• 3:38
  Why but? He is also.
• 3:44
  A guy that. Always tries to.
• 3:48
  Feel as if. He's been wrong in a lot of
• 3:52
  situations. That were, quite frankly, of
• 3:55
  his. Own doing.
• 4:05
  So it's hard to believe it's been almost.
• 4:10
  A decade. Since KD joined the Golden State
• 4:13
  Warriors. And just for points of
• 4:18
  clarification. The.
• 4:21
  Warriors have won the NBA. Title the year 2015.
• 4:28
  And of course, they won 73 games.
• 4:32
  The next year. Taking the.
• 4:36
  Regular season 1. Total before ultimately.
• 4:40
  Losing to the. Barn and the Cavs.
• 4:43
  In one of the great. Comebacks in NBA?
• 4:46
  Finals history. But just several.
• 4:51
  Weeks prior to that. The.
• 4:52
  Warriors themselves found themselves in the 31.
• 4:57
  Deficit against Oklahoma. City.
• 4:59
  Now mind you, that was Oklahoma. City's chance they had an
• 5:04
  opportunity to send at the time, the then defending champions
• 5:09
  home and put the. Kibosh on History The Games 5.
• 5:17
  Six and seven came around, nothing doing.
• 5:22
  For the Thunder. KD, especially in two out of
• 5:27
  three games 67. You know those were these.
• 5:31
  Opportunities to kind of send the Dubs home and it didn't.
• 5:35
  Happen and look. We and.
• 5:40
  I shouldn't say we 'cause. You know I.
• 5:43
  Thought Russell Westbrook, who I did a.
• 5:46
  Different discussion on I thought he.
• 5:50
  Even now got. Too much blame?
• 5:52
  For what happened, you know, throughout.
• 5:55
  That series and really at. Times why people look at him as
• 5:59
  to why he covered the land. As ten year of Oklahoma City
• 6:03
  couldn't win and I've. Always maintained, even after
• 6:08
  Westwood retired couple weeks. Ago that what?
• 6:11
  Happened. Was not.
• 6:13
  All his fault. It had to do with the guy that
• 6:17
  was. The unclearly best.
• 6:19
  Player on the. Team.
• 6:22
  And you should say even now. A guy.
• 6:25
  That we just don't look as a. Leaf see with all of.
• 6:29
  K BS Greatness. They're not going through our.
• 6:32
  Whole career. Is that he hasn't been.
• 6:35
  Looked as a leaf. Now that part.
• 6:37
  I'll get you more in detail later on.
• 6:42
  You know, he's a guy that just wants to play ball.
• 6:45
  He just wants to go out there and hoop and do what he has to
• 6:49
  do. But like me, great players in
• 6:52
  NBA history, they do have that. Leadership side.
• 6:55
  KD for whatever. Reason even now he just never
• 6:58
  had. And certainly the surprise came
• 7:07
  about a. Couple weeks after when he
• 7:13
  chose. Not to resign with Golden.
• 7:15
  State after or. Join Golden State.
• 7:18
  Riding. After the.
• 7:22
  Season ended. Now mind you, this was a month
• 7:26
  after the Warriors had came. All the way back.
• 7:30
  Against OK C. Down 31.
• 7:36
  Now mind you, this wasn't a. Scenario where?
• 7:41
  It's not like OK C. Didn't want back.
• 7:44
  I mean, they wanted him back. I mean he.
• 7:46
  Was the franchise. But KD.
• 7:48
  Felt that he wasn't going to win with the.
• 7:53
  Group that was. Tailored made to actually do
• 7:56
  the. Job and so.
• 8:00
  He decided to leave. And go.
• 8:03
  To the team. That he lost.
• 8:06
  To just a. Month earlier now.
• 8:10
  Here's what makes the soul even riveting.
• 8:15
  To an extent, a decade. Later.
• 8:19
  It would have been one. Thing.
• 8:21
  If he had. Joined You know a.
• 8:23
  Team, you know. In the.
• 8:25
  East OR. Even though different.
• 8:27
  Western Conference opponents. But it's the fact that he joined
• 8:36
  the team. That just a month.
• 8:39
  Earlier had beating him in the. Western finals.
• 8:47
  It's what makes this even more. Hard to really understand like
• 8:52
  why? Join the.
• 8:53
  Team that, essentially. From a month.
• 8:58
  Earlier, had already. Took care of.
• 9:00
  Business against you. And on top of that had.
• 9:05
  Already won a championship. A year ago.
• 9:12
  Now, mind you, throughout Katie's tenure of Oklahoma.
• 9:16
  City He. Went to four.
• 9:19
  Conference finals. He went to the NBA Finals in
• 9:23
  that lockout. Showing season.
• 9:26
  Of 20/11/2012 he had won. MVP couple scoring.
• 9:30
  Titles. But in the four.
• 9:34
  Conference finals appearances. The latter, 2/20/14.
• 9:39
  And of course, 20. 16 with damage.
• 9:43
  The first. Part 20. 14 OK C.
• 9:48
  That was the year KD. Won the championship.
• 9:51
  By the way. You know in.
• 9:54
  The Division One MVP. As I mentioned.
• 9:58
  OK C look like they. Were going to be not just a team
• 10:03
  that was going to win their division once again, but maybe
• 10:06
  the conference. But then they ran.
• 10:08
  Into a 18. Spurs.
• 10:11
  Team with one. Final push for a championship?
• 10:14
  What's the? Ultimate we got done against
• 10:16
  Levon. Boss.
• 10:18
  Wade in the. Victory in Miami.
• 10:23
  That MVP season. Should have been at best this
• 10:27
  season. That OKC could have.
• 10:32
  Gave Miami another chance. And they weren't for their
• 10:35
  money. But it didn't happen as they
• 10:38
  lost to San Antonio six games. And then of course, we all know
• 10:42
  2016. So I won't go back down that
• 10:45
  road, but the reality? Is. 4 conference title.
• 10:52
  Appearances 6 years. And the latter. 2.
• 10:57
  Were complete disasters. And so after join the.
• 11:02
  Warriors that offseason, I'm not really going to get into the
• 11:08
  Warriors. Side of things.
• 11:12
  Again. It was really.
• 11:14
  KD. Join that team.
• 11:15
  That made two years of the NBA. Completely unwatchable.
• 11:20
  Now to sweep that damn. But let's.
• 11:27
  Talk about the. Aftermath.
• 11:29
  Of his Warriors tenure. And how this is?
• 11:33
  Really the crux in all this. Of how?
• 11:39
  The easy. Way Out has never proven to be.
• 11:43
  The more beneficial route. And how sometimes.
• 11:47
  That has. Ultimately come back.
• 11:49
  To heart so. At the town has the killings in
• 11:56
  the 20. 19 finals against Toronto.
• 11:59
  That was essentially the last game.
• 12:02
  KD will ever. Play.
• 12:05
  It was not. Surprisingly, he left there as a
• 12:07
  free. Agent in 20. 19 But let's go
• 12:11
  back. A little bit to.
• 12:15
  Really. How that?
• 12:16
  Came to be. Even winning 2.
• 12:20
  Championships which I've made. Clear.
• 12:23
  I don't hold. No value because.
• 12:26
  Of the route KD took to get those, there was the.
• 12:33
  Sentiment. Amongst people from.
• 12:35
  KDS perspective that he feels as if he wasn't appreciated what KD
• 12:42
  needed to. Understand was that again that.
• 12:48
  Warriors. Team had already won a title.
• 12:51
  The year before. They knew what it took to
• 12:56
  actually win and depending on which insider or someone.
• 13:03
  Close to KD. It was essentially like he won
• 13:08
  the easy. Way so we.
• 13:09
  Decided to join the opposition at eliminate, but here's the
• 13:15
  more. Hypocritical we all.
• 13:19
  Knew at least, if anybody. With common sense.
• 13:23
  Knew that that. Franchise was steps, OK, he's
• 13:27
  the face of it. He's.
• 13:29
  The heart and soul, he's the guy everybody gravitated.
• 13:35
  Towards as well. As you know, Klay Thompson,
• 13:38
  Draymond Green. But it was really stuff.
• 13:41
  That's the focal point. Let's just be.
• 13:45
  Completely honest here, KD was never going the.
• 13:49
  Use of stuff. No matter how.
• 13:51
  Great, he. Was for them 'cause let's just.
• 13:55
  Be real honest. KD when he joined the.
• 13:58
  Warriors it was. Like a de facto.
• 14:00
  Cheat code. I mean.
• 14:02
  That's why I said those. Two years with the Warriors were
• 14:05
  really. Unwatchable, so it's the.
• 14:07
  Whole league. Because it was like, I'm better
• 14:11
  off watching some of the. Former.
• 14:12
  Sport or different? Sport.
• 14:14
  I don't. Really pay any attention to.
• 14:16
  'Cause that would have been more interesting you.
• 14:20
  Know I'm not gonna lie when. KD, Century towards Achilles in
• 14:25
  the 20. 19 finals against Toronto, Which?
• 14:28
  Subsequently, was his. Last game I with the Golden
• 14:34
  State I thought that's more. Of a poetic way.
• 14:41
  For taking the easy way out, but I'll say that.
• 14:46
  So annoying free agency. Once again.
• 14:51
  KD wanted. To be viewed as.
• 14:53
  Somebody that wanted. To lead a.
• 14:59
  Team on the court, according to his.
• 15:01
  Words. He wanted to be a team to a.
• 15:06
  Child. That apparently something he
• 15:10
  couldn't. Do while he was going state
• 15:14
  state, you know, 'cause he wasn't earlier there.
• 15:17
  And more so when he was with Oklahoma.
• 15:20
  City we all know how that in the love.
• 15:24
  So he decided to go Brooklyn. Now mind you, because of that
• 15:31
  Achilles injury, he. Suffered.
• 15:34
  In the subsequent. Crazy year.
• 15:37
  That have followed. It essentially took.
• 15:42
  Him about a year and a half. To really get back out and work.
• 15:47
  That old Brooklyn. Situation was a disaster, I
• 15:50
  mean. Not only did you have.
• 15:52
  KD, you had. Kyrie Irving Who at that?
• 15:56
  Point had gotten shipped out Boston, and of course you got
• 16:03
  James Harden there. But then they have first time.
• 16:08
  Head coaches Steve Nash. Who had just been hired by the.
• 16:11
  Franchise months. Earlier and in KD and Kyrie's
• 16:16
  words. We don't really need a coach.
• 16:21
  If two of your best players are. Century sank.
• 16:26
  We don't need a coach. That's almost a.
• 16:29
  Sign that is not going well. Regardless though, despite
• 16:34
  coming off the. Achilles.
• 16:36
  About a year and a half later. KD actually looked.
• 16:41
  Not. Necessarily his MPP form.
• 16:44
  But close to it. And the Nets actually made the
• 16:50
  playoffs that year. Unfortunately, any dream they
• 16:55
  had. A game close to the NBA Finals
• 16:58
  came to a halt. Winning game.
• 16:59
  Seven against Milwaukee, KD actually played.
• 17:03
  Brilliantly at home. But the.
• 17:08
  Only thing was Brooklyn ended up.
• 17:10
  Losing Game 7 because. KD's foot.
• 17:15
  Was on the. Line his right foot after.
• 17:19
  Hitting what was initially A3 pointer rule A2 pointer that
• 17:24
  ended up. Being a difference.
• 17:25
  Milwaukee held on. Win the game and obviously.
• 17:29
  Went on to. Win the NBA.
• 17:31
  Championship, now Brooklyn was just the first.
• 17:38
  Domino in what would be a long. Essentially Cormac.
• 17:44
  Row for KD. After his.
• 17:49
  Time in work on the century, amount of after that.
• 17:53
  Pretty much nothing he was then. Moved to Phoenix.
• 18:00
  Now Phoenix a couple. Years earlier had.
• 18:02
  Went to year many funds with. The likes of Chris Paul, Devin
• 18:07
  Booker. DeAndre Ayer and mine.
• 18:09
  Williams leading the way, KD essentially needed a fresh
• 18:15
  start. And he got.
• 18:18
  The problem? Was this is?
• 18:21
  How? KD and I'm about to really get
• 18:25
  into more specifics in a moment, but.
• 18:29
  This is how K DS. Time in.
• 18:34
  The other. Places he happened.
• 18:36
  Since we went golden. State was starting.
• 18:38
  To be viewed anymore negative, why see?
• 18:44
  A lot of people fought. After the Warriors.
• 18:48
  Had lost the 2019. Finals and.
• 18:52
  Struggled the next few. Seasons afterwards, Many.
• 18:56
  Thought that they won a championship.
• 18:58
  Contender at this point and in the. 2122 season.
• 19:04
  It was. Essentially, maybe those.
• 19:09
  People were right. But if anybody didn't get the
• 19:14
  member. Where it was clearly Steph.
• 19:16
  Curry, who apparently took whatever people.
• 19:20
  Thought the wrong. Way he wasn't.
• 19:23
  About. It that because not only did
• 19:27
  Golden State ended up winning the 2022.
• 19:29
  Championship over Boston. 'S six games, Steph,
• 19:34
  unquestionably. Was the best.
• 19:36
  Player of the whole series. Winning Finals MVP.
• 19:40
  In. Essentially cementing my initial
• 19:45
  thought. That no matter.
• 19:46
  What KD did that franchise was. And is always.
• 19:52
  Going to be led by Steph and how the Warriors win the
• 19:56
  championship. With the still.
• 19:58
  Cast the players. That were already.
• 20:02
  There at that. Point now put KD.
• 20:05
  In a negative light. So not only did the Warriors.
• 20:10
  End up being. Boston that.
• 20:11
  Year. People's thoughts.
• 20:16
  Of KD immediately turned in a hurry.
• 20:19
  Because they went. From having respect from him.
• 20:23
  Just as a. Player championships
• 20:25
  notwithstanding. To a guy who may wonder, was he
• 20:31
  just along for the ride? In the Bay Area.
• 20:35
  And of course that. Only intensified when.
• 20:40
  His time in Phoenix, just like Brookeman.
• 20:43
  Beforehand didn't amount much to nothing as far as.
• 20:49
  Post his success. In the one.
• 20:52
  Of those years he ended up getting.
• 20:54
  Swept. And if you actually want to go
• 20:57
  back to. His last year.
• 20:59
  In Brooke. And I apologize he got swept by
• 21:03
  boss, mind you now in the. Case when he.
• 21:08
  Was in Phoenix, he ended. Up getting swept.
• 21:10
  By a guy. Who idolized him?
• 21:15
  Growing up in Anthony Edwards. So the reality.
• 21:21
  Of all. This Kevin Durant was now
• 21:26
  starting to. Feel the pressure of.
• 21:31
  Not having accomplished anything.
• 21:33
  Playoff. Wise except one.
• 21:35
  Series win and seeing from a distance how the team that he
• 21:42
  essentially. Was a cheat code for.
• 21:46
  Win a tie without him. Very interesting.
• 21:52
  From that. Very.
• 21:57
  Interesting. And of course, most recently,
• 22:01
  not this offseason, but the past.
• 22:03
  Offseason. After once again a lackluster
• 22:09
  playoff. Series disappointment.
• 22:12
  He was moved to where he is now. In Houston.
• 22:17
  Phoenix had to give up Dylan Brooks.
• 22:19
  And Jalen Green. Two guys that essentially fit
• 22:23
  the timeline of. Houston's plan of a younger team
• 22:28
  that actually. If you could believe it before
• 22:32
  they got KD, they. Actually were.
• 22:34
  One of the top teams in the. West record wise.
• 22:39
  There's also another. Caveat to this which I'll get
• 22:45
  into a moment. Many people who.
• 22:53
  Thought that you know what would tell with Green and Brooks out
• 22:58
  of the. Building.
• 22:59
  They thought Houston would actually be more.
• 23:01
  Of an upgrade. With KD than having those two
• 23:07
  and look there are things that you can't.
• 23:11
  Control, you know, as a team to an extent, you know, Fred
• 23:18
  Lambley going down before the season due to a serious knee
• 23:22
  injury and, you know, the Rockets not really having the
• 23:27
  stabilizing force. At point guard.
• 23:30
  You know it. Happens.
• 23:32
  That's what you know you need your what was supposed.
• 23:35
  To be leader, to take the charge.
• 23:39
  And sure enough, that did not. Happen Houston took a step.
• 23:45
  Back after their. Surprise season year.
• 23:49
  Prior. They ended up in since. 6 this
• 23:52
  season. Which kept them out of the.
• 23:55
  Play in because only seeds 7 through 10 can.
• 24:02
  Make it. But the reality was.
• 24:09
  It didn't help that not have. Reflect Lamply, KD.
• 24:14
  And. To a large.
• 24:15
  Extent Alpha Shingoon. Being the only.
• 24:18
  Reliable offensive weapons. Used to have.
• 24:23
  And obviously KD going down, supposedly.
• 24:27
  Before the series. Of an injury.
• 24:29
  Didn't help. Any math?
• 24:32
  See, he actually only played. In one game and he might as.
• 24:36
  Well, at that. Point might.
• 24:37
  Not have even. Played any series games at all?
• 24:43
  Houston. Ended up losing.
• 24:46
  To the. Lakers and were born in five
• 24:48
  games and. Let's just.
• 24:53
  Go back to Year 5. OK, C after Kevin.
• 24:59
  Durant left and even. With Russell Westbrook doing all
• 25:03
  he. Could at that point even he.
• 25:06
  Along with Carmelo. And even Paul.
• 25:08
  George. Couldn't do this.
• 25:11
  But only so much but. Then the turn of the.
• 25:14
  Decade came. Around.
• 25:17
  The acquisition of Shay. Giles, Alexander.
• 25:20
  The Drafting of Jack Holmgren, J Dub, J Williams.
• 25:25
  The. Veterans Stabilizing force and
• 25:27
  champion. Of our school show, and many
• 25:30
  are. Quality players help elevate OKC
• 25:33
  from being. A team that.
• 25:36
  Looked like was. Probably nowhere as.
• 25:42
  Far as being what their franchise?
• 25:44
  Could have been. To win the.
• 25:47
  NBA Championship in. 2025. After withdrawing.
• 25:52
  Seven game. Series against Indiana.
• 25:55
  And Shea Gilge's finals. MVP and MVP, that's seats.
• 26:01
  So I know you're probably wondering what does.
• 26:04
  OK C have to do with. KD and Houston.
• 26:08
  Now that. Is a great question.
• 26:12
  And the. Answer is because of the.
• 26:17
  Two franchises, KD. Once played for.
• 26:21
  That essentially proved we really.
• 26:25
  Didn't need you really in the case of one of.
• 26:28
  Those but the franchise that he. Left a decade earlier that he.
• 26:33
  Actually started his. Career.
• 26:35
  With after of. Course the franchise.
• 26:37
  Moved from Seattle has had. More better days than KDS had
• 26:44
  playoff. Success.
• 26:49
  The reality is, if you look at K.
• 26:52
  DS time before. Join the.
• 26:55
  Warriors so that would be with. Seattle slash Oklahoma City.
• 27:00
  And if you looked at his time after.
• 27:04
  Leaving the Warriors. Before 4.
• 27:15
  Conference Finals appearances, one NBA Finals appearance and
• 27:21
  after. Leaving the Warriors.
• 27:23
  Being with Brooklyn. Phoenix and now.
• 27:27
  Houston One Playoff Series 1. And not to mention the fact the
• 27:36
  Warriors. Spearheaded by Steph.
• 27:39
  Won the. 2022 Title. And that the.
• 27:43
  Franchise that KD originally starred for ended up winning a
• 27:47
  title just. Two years ago, so how?
• 27:53
  Do you think? That all has looked on KD since.
• 28:01
  Really a decade away and well. Again, I'm not saying he's not
• 28:08
  an all time play, it would be wrong.
• 28:11
  For me to. Even say that.
• 28:13
  But we have to call it like we. See it I.
• 28:18
  Think he is? Overweight because if you.
• 28:26
  Are that? Great of score.
• 28:29
  Then why did you feel the need to not only join the team that.
• 28:34
  You have lost to a month. Earlier who have.
• 28:37
  Proven they've won without. You.
• 28:43
  End up winning 2 fall. Championships I give.
• 28:47
  The other guys for the. Warriors, their respect because
• 28:49
  they actually. Earned those not KD left.
• 28:54
  Them have not had any playoff. Success since leaving.
• 28:59
  Them and that not only did the Warriors end up winning.
• 29:03
  The Championship without you. Certainly they won before you
• 29:08
  even join them, but the franchise in which?
• 29:11
  You were the key. Piece for 9:00.
• 29:14
  Seasons ended up. Winning their first child with a
• 29:18
  more electrified and likable guy.
• 29:21
  SGA. Just two years.
• 29:26
  Oh. And if you.
• 29:31
  Were to ask me where do I have? KD as far.
• 29:33
  As you know if I had personal list of.
• 29:37
  I don't know, Let's say. You know.
• 29:41
  If I had like a list. One to 100 of all time NBA
• 29:47
  players I would. Actually put him.
• 29:53
  I don't have them in my top. Five and I.
• 29:55
  Do not have. Them in my top 15 I would
• 29:59
  actually. Have them.
• 30:03
  In the 20s. Because.
• 30:08
  This is where KD ultimately. Does not get.
• 30:11
  A pass. Look, he was never.
• 30:15
  Viewed as a real OK. I can kinda.
• 30:19
  Understand that. Even though I think.
• 30:22
  That's completely ridiculous. But it's the fact
• 30:26
  notwithstanding the. Troll and burnout accounts.
• 30:29
  OK, 'cause I think that's. Just a little.
• 30:31
  Sorry, ass move. But it's the.
• 30:34
  Fact that. Before he had joined the.
• 30:37
  Warriors. He has starved the Thunder.
• 30:39
  Franchise for nine years. Multiple conference finals.
• 30:44
  In NBA Finals appearance. A league MVP 4.
• 30:48
  Scoring titles. But was never able to.
• 30:52
  Win a championship with them. Then essentially was joining
• 30:59
  the. Bandwagon of the.
• 31:01
  Warriors as a DE. Facto cheat.
• 31:03
  Code winning two really meaningless championships.
• 31:09
  And then after. He had left.
• 31:10
  Them has not had. Real playoff success are the. 2
• 31:15
  aforementioned. Franchises I mentioned.
• 31:18
  Have all had. Success since you.
• 31:20
  Left again with. All the.
• 31:24
  Plays athletes. Get they do.
• 31:26
  Deserve criticism because the reality is and KD deserves more
• 31:33
  criticism than any player. That has ever.
• 31:37
  Been on that court. Because when you ultimately
• 31:42
  decide to be. Slick and join the bandwagon and
• 31:54
  you. Ultimately end up.
• 31:55
  Getting too meaningless rings out of it.
• 31:58
  And then? Afterwards not having any real.
• 32:01
  Success as a. Sensitive.
• 32:04
  Person on top of that and things that you've been wronged in so
• 32:08
  many ways, you know? What that really.
• 32:10
  Says it says. That narcissistic tendencies.
• 32:15
  Are within him and. People who support.
• 32:19
  Him can. Have their own opinions.
• 32:21
  Even those that. Voucher.
• 32:23
  They even have to. Admit that work.
• 32:26
  You're too great of a player KD to.
• 32:29
  Have joined the easy way. But in the.
• 32:34
  End because you. Felt you couldn't get it done
• 32:36
  with the franchise. You are starving.
• 32:39
  You look for a different option which was the.
• 32:42
  Cheap. And more.
• 32:45
  Than a decade later you. Can see why.
• 32:47
  His credibility has. Taken a hit because in the end.
• 32:55
  One playoff. Series win, no championships
• 33:00
  and. Only so many of the fact that
• 33:02
  your decision from a decade earlier not only what's the
• 33:05
  weakest move in NBA. History, but a sorry, sad
• 33:11
  excuse. Of the century trying to win
• 33:15
  the. Easy championship.
• 33:17
  In sports history. That is the wrong one.
