Richard Jefferson Gets Technical Foul For Dunking On, Winking At Kevin Durant
Richard Jefferson dunked all over Kevin Durant during today’s big Warriors-Cavaliers game, and winked at the young man as he headed back up the court. That earned the 36-year-old a technical foul in today’s increasingly no-fun NBA....
This Is How The Warriors Will Destroy The World
In three seconds: two passes thrown, roughly 72 feet of hardwood spanned, zero dribbles taken, and suddenly Kevin Durant has yammed it hard. This season we’ve been blessed by frequent instances of Russ and Giannis singlehandedly wrecking shit on the run, but this, um, heartwarming display of teamwor...
This Was A Hell Of A Sequence From Kevin Durant
The Rockets are up at halftime against the Warriors thanks to some strong shooting and rebounding, but Kevin Durant has been fantastic for Golden State. This sequence here was particularly great. First, he easily swatted Clint Capela, a center, then ran down the floor and made this silly pass to Dra...
I Wish Kevin Durant Actually Hated Drake
For a moment, watching Drake bump Kevin Durant during a postgame interview, and replaying the wordless death-glare that followed, I thought, maybe the animosity is genuine. This was an electrifying possibility. The Raptors wheeled out their unofficial mascot for a night in his honor and Drake had b...
Durant Versus Westbrook Was Fun, And Then It Was A Rout
For about nine minutes last night, it looked like the Thunder might beat the Warriors. But then Jerami Grant dunked and screamed in Kevin Durant’s face, Durant went supernova and scored 39 points, and the Warriors won by 26....
Russell Westbrook Says There's No Particular Reason He Dressed Up Like A Photographer
Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Russell Westbrook wore an interesting outfit last night, but that’s something that can be said about him literally anytime he walks out of his front door. This particular outfit caught people’s attention, though....
I Think Kevin Durant Might Already Be Losing It
It goes against nearly all of my instincts as a sports fan and writer to buy into narrative concepts such as heroes and villains. An athlete who ditches his team for a better situation is not suddenly a bad guy just because some Twitter users and columnists decide he is, and public opinion doesn’t r...
Dick Attacker Draymond Green Rips "Stupid" Critics Of Kevin Durant, Compares Him To Apple CEO<em></em>
Here’s Draymond Green going off on Paul Pierce and the other NBA-adjacent critics of Kevin Durant’s choice to join the Warriors. I’m less interested in him saying there are “so many guys in this league that are so stupid” than I am in his extended analogy comparing Durant joining the Warriors with S...
Russell Westbrook's Tired Of Talking About Kevin Durant
It feels like every time Kevin Durant talks about his new gig with the Golden State Warriors, someone runs those quotes over to Oklahoma City and throws them at Russell Westbrook, hoping that he’ll sniff around, find a part he likes, and sink his teeth into it. Westbrook’s had enough of the cycle, b...
Kevin Durant On Golden State Warriors: "They Didn't Get The Job Done ... I'm Glad They Lost"
Newly minted Golden State Warrior Kevin Durant saw his former team blow a 3-1 lead in the Conference Finals, then watched his new team blow a 3-1 lead in the NBA Finals. When asked if it mattered to him that the Warriors lost, he gave a long answer about how much fun they appeared to be having and s...
The Warriors Will Be Fun And Deadly And None Of It Matters Until May
The Golden State Warriors beat the Los Angeles Clippers 120-75 last night. Most of that lead was built in the first half, when both teams were still playing starters. You were probably watching the vice-presidential debate or the AL Wild Card game instead, because you rightfully don’t give a single ...
Now We Find Out Whether Oklahoma City Is A Good Basketball Market
Kevin Durant is a Golden State Warrior now, which triggers dozens of fascinating basketball subplots. But off the court, it will help answer a question I’ve had for a long time: is Oklahoma City actually a viable long-term basketball market?...
Get A Load Of These Motherfuckers
Kevin Durant was officially introduced as a member of the Golden State Warriors today, which means he also got to meet with members of the coaching staff and front office....
Braying Shitheel Mike Lupica Pens Worst Possible Column About Kevin Durant
It’s the question on America’s mind: After Kevin Durant abandoned Oklahoma City to join forces with the Golden State Warriors and their garbage fans, who would blurt out the shittiest, most predictably obnoxious, pseudo-macho take possible? Would it be Stephen A. Smith, who previously threatened Dur...
Sam Presti Has An Uplifting Message For Thunder Fans
So, it sucks to be a Thunder fan right now. Kevin Durant, the face of your team for as long as your team has existed, has left for your rivals. Your title hopes are, for the immediate future, nonexistent. How do you deal with this shock? (Other than, you know, coating a Durant jersey in kerosene and...
Counterpoint: Fuck This Shit
Everything Barry wrote this morning is 100-percent correct, and it’s been six years since the ugly backlash against LeBron James’s decision to leave Cleveland proved that getting mad at an athlete for making an employment decision is one of the shittiest things a sports fan can do. I’m not a Thunder...
Kevin Durant Took A Better Job
I am baffled by the blowback against Kevin Durant—every bit as baffled by the even larger backlash against LeBron James six years ago—for doing nothing more than taking the job in which he believes he’ll be most successful and fulfilled. Everyone criticizing Durant for joining a dominant team would ...
Fans Argue Over Whether Kevin Durant Is A Traitor
Kevin Durant has joined the Golden State Warriors, and Oklahoma City Thunder fans are figuring out how to process the news. Some are thankful for what he did during his nine years in Oklahoma City, others are burning his jersey, and still others are crying and would punch him in the face....
