Countdown to Armageddon
Analysts and fans alike are doubling down on their speculations about why Kevin Durant felt compelled to leave the Warriors and sign with the Brooklyn Nets. According to The Undefeated NBA writer Marc Spears, who cites a source "close to Durant," the four-time NBA scoring champion felt like he was operating in Steph Curry's shadow.
"While Durant’s shocking move to join the Warriors in 2016 quickly paid dividends for him — two straight championships and two Finals MVP awards — there was always the sense that the 10-time All-Star felt like a distant second fiddle to Stephen Curry," he writes. "Perhaps it would have helped the Warriors’ cause if their fans showed more love and appreciation for Durant’s elite achievements."
When asked about the negativity that took place between Durant and the Warriors in the 2018-19 season, the source said: “All that showed a lack of respect for one of the greatest players to put that uniform on and the fact that he took all that abuse and still put his career on the line to help them win."
Kevin Durant Reportedly 'Felt Like a Distant Second Fiddle to Stephen Curry'
Fans? For once I will defend GSW fans and say they were fine, they supported KD all the way, did their job.
The problem was KD's teammates and front office. They were the ones on some disrespectful shyt, not the fans.

Anyone else have a feeling GS might trade Draymond depending how their record looks around ASB?

What does the media have to do with it?
If it was as good as people think it was, he wouldve stayed. Period.

Nothing the Warriors could've done to make him stay. Have you ever treated a woman great and she still broke up with you? Not that I'm comparing KD to a woman but I'm just giving you an analogy.
All you can do is deliver on the things you promised a person in any relationship. We can't give KD the validation he's looking for, the Warriors can't control what reporters and incels online write about him but he cares and no amount of ass kissing by the Warriors could change that.

Not at all. KD is a good man...he's just searching for something we couldn't give him. I try to use analogies that can resonate with even the most remedial posters on here.I think you just called KD an emotional, unstable, bytch
