![[THE KINGS COMPANY] Durant Playing with LeBron toxic , blames fanboys in the media- Undisputed](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/adn81ljaH0E/mqdefault.jpg)
Do you agree with Durant?
MT Promices on lock ?!
***** Biblical?
MT Promices They won't beat the Spurs in a playoff series
Keep deleting comments losers.
MT Promices it's a total snake move. He goes to the team that came back 3-1 on him and doesn't tell anyone on the team he left from. His championships will be stained if he ever wins one with the warriors. Let's see what lebron has to say about it first.
Sad how this is Durant's 10th year and he doesn't get killed for not winning. Lebron was getting murdered since his 5th year and still gets killed and he has 3 chips. Crazy.
CM Rush great power comes with great responsibility.lebron is playing against history and father time.hes already transcended his contemporaries
Zer0DarkThirty-23 muhfuckas I agree but Lebron was getting killed before he had this much power.
CM Rush lebron asked for all the attention he gets
CM Rush yet so many people claim KD is a VERY close 2nd to LeBron. if that were the case why isn't he treated like it?
he asked for it? The media made that happen. He was deemed the Chosen One, he was on the cover of Sports illustrated as a sophomore in HIGH SCHOOL. Bruh, he didnt ask for it. But i tell you what, he definitely lived up and SURPASSED the hype. No one else can say they did the same.
Durant should have called russell before the move. That's all he needed to do
Dennis Vu or he could have just not went to the team that beat he and russ
He was scared because Westbrook would snap on him, Westbrook is a real dude he would have probably gotten pretty angry with KD. But yeah KD should have called him still. It's kinda like a dumping your girlfriend over text because you are scared to do it in person.
Good point
Dennis Vu He didn't owe him that. That would just be pleasing the media and fake. They probably weren't that close. As Durant said they moved in different camps, the media try to make them seem like best friends. If he didn't need to text all his teammates then he didn't need to text Russ. Who cares about that Durant is whack for going to the team that beat him. Him leaving or the situation with Russ is irrelevant.
Mektek19 they was that close but he was scared of how Russ was gonna react
He just needs to stop talking about it. He was the one who was up 3-1 and lost it and then a month later joined a 73 win team who just beat them. OKC isn't talking about you, you brought it upon yourself. Just shut up and play Durant, shut up and play.
Alan Flores but when LeBron answers something people get to say "just shut up and play basketball," lol
The news media did create this mess. They are responsible for so much.
Bonita Boggan The media didnt make a choice for KD to leave OKC.
Dax Brown Russ was up 3-1 as well
KD is so WEAK. I heard analogy, what if Tom Brady lost to Falcons (instead of making the miraculous comeback), then switched teams to the Falcons the next year. It's unimaginable. Why does KD get a pass? I've never seen anything like it in sports. It was his choice, just so WEAK. League needs more parity overall, getting dull.
Russ wasn't the reason KD left OKC. His chosen destination destroys that notion. If KD's main reason for leaving OKC was because he didn't think he could win a title with Russ, he wouldn't have gone to the most loaded team in the NBA. If it was really about Russ, then he would have chosen to play with CP3 in LA or Wall in DC. But he chose to play with another score-first PG who shoots more than Russ. Why would he do that? Because it was never about Russ. KD simply wanted to play on a team that was so talented that it could win titles without him having to be the man and carry the load.
Cornell Cannon Because he can't carry the load. He was supposed to be the man, but showed he couldn't do it.
Curry shoots more than Russ??? Are you forgetting how crazy efficient the dude is?? They seem to be meshing well right now in GS... Face it dude, no superstar wants to play with Russ.
Cornell Cannon you damn right if Imma leave a team that was one win away from a trip to the NBA finals why tf would I downgrade to play with the clippers, wizards, celtics etc. imma upgrade. Plus the clippers couldn't afford to get kd anyway they would've had to get rid of Blake, cp3, or deandre plus some of their bench to make room for his contract. Realistically no team kd could've went to in the east would've put him above the cavs and no team in the west besides MAYBE the spurs would've put him above gsw. So it only made sense to join his friends down in the bay
Cornell Cannon Russ shoots more than every player in the league, golden states offense generates offense for everybody.
Um... KD can afford to go to the warriors, but can't afford to go the clippers? Also, ... Everything you said is pretty much true. I mean, he could go to the wizards. Wall , beal and Kd could beat the cavs
Falcons blew a 28-3 lead
28+3 = 31
Warriors blew a 3-1 lead
Durant blew thunder 3-1 lead
SmileMore and you blew a crackhead not long ago
Artur Vasiljev damn savage
*westbrook
SmileMore tf? durant blew a 3-1 but u gunna let westbrook off the hook right? lol smh this why KD left
Riley Freeman it wasnt KD fault on the full but he dissapeared a lot of times after they got the 3-1 lead
kd has a point to certain extant. The media is acting like kd hates russ and he hates okc which is far form the truth. But he is really naive to think Russ had no problem with his decision
Commandosoap777 certain 🤦🏽♂️😂😂
Commandosoap777
your grammar is trash
you nailed it.
Adam Leon my phone is hella trash lol
WiLLCam 😭 this Android stay buggin
I don't mind him leaving, but why did he have to go to a stacked team, that's a coward mentality
KRS Won do you think the same of lebron?
Yeezy Season Lebron didn't go to a 73-9 team. He went to and out of prime d Wade and Chris bosh. They were the were the underdogs against the Spurs and okc.
***** he took 1/3 of every season because of his knees and he averaged 14ppg in the 2014 NBA finals. The warriors are way more stacked.
Lebron had to form a team compare to KD already joining a well established stack team... Heat didnt go 73-9, and just coming off fresh of a back2back final appearance... Big difference. Lebron didn't lose to the Heat too... That's like Lebron joining the Celtics team back in 2010 to form a big 4 with Rondo/Pierce/KG.
KRS Won yes it is. it was a cowards move. he went to a jacked team. it blew my mind. what happened to competition..
I just can't wait for the 30 for 30 on this in a few years
Dee Johnson they will only do that if the warriors never win.which is impossible
i don't know about 4 but 2 chokers of the highest degree have joined forces so all i can expect is a memorable choke
impossible? Like coming back from a 3-1 deficit? ..
itheroman hear me out guys.lebron is the only chance for the east to win rings.... right now he is now 32
itheroman kevin durant is 28 in the peak of his athletic prime on the most talented team arguably ever
What does Draymond being suspended in game 5 have with them losing in game 7? He played in game 6 and had a monster game 7 and they still lost
Kamal Miller people like to minimize lebrons accomplishments
because in games 6 and 7 they had more momentum and drive to win than in game 5
The bandwagons always say "Curry wasn't 100% and iggy's back was hurting"
Kamal Miller No Bogut, the teams only legitimate rim protector. Andre Igoudala had an injured back.
Brian Cheng so either way the finals are still 1-1 cause kyrie and love were hurt the first go around that's why it don't matter.
I'm so sick of the 'Draymond didnt play in Game 5' argument. He played in Game 6 and he didnt show up, no one did. He played in Game 7 and played great, but no one else did.
likemikegenerationx2 Dropped 41 on them Game 6 as well when people said he couldn't do it with Draymond in the game.
I agree. im sick of it!!
likemikegenerationx2 Well it was him, bogut, and iggy.
The argument is that because he didn't play in game 5, their starting center, Bogut got hurt, which resulted in LeBron and Kyrie going nuts inside, which they did. Also their 6th man was playing hurt in both game 6 and 7. Give the Cavs credit, they took advantage of that.
They had the first 4 games to win too
KD is a cupcake
Shane Parker I like cupcakes they are at the top of the dessert league, just like KD :)
just cause you like cupcakes do mean cupcakes are good for you
Durant is delusional on this one. If he think all this is fake, then he doesn't know Westbrook very well
Dimitris Bright I'm sure KD knows Westbrook a lot better than u do lmao
This segment should be renamed to Sneak Dissing ESPN
haha, good one
Samurai Jack 😂😂 i agree..
Skip you are the man!!! Love your new show on FS1!!!
Skip Bayless #FS1.4 #Undisputed #Cowboys #Spurs 😂😂😭😭😭
Skip Bayless #FS1.4 #Undisputed #Cowboys #Spurs Why'd I see people on twitter replying to Skip's tweets saying exactly what you did?
L
Skip Bayless #FS1.4 #Undisputed #Cowboys #Spurs original stuff there!
Skip Bayless #FS1.4 #Undisputed #Cowboys #Spurs how many times are you going to write this
If Klay Thompson doesn't set a record for threes in a playoff game OKC would have went to the finals and beat Cavs because nobody would have got suspended in game 5
Noah Rogers last years thunder have no chance of beating the cavs Bruh warriors at the time were the best option.
Raphael Colon the cavs would've destroyed okc
Noah Rogers no way OKC would beat Cavs
Raphael Colon they were even judging by the series
Cavs would have beaten OKC in 5 or 6 games. KD can't stop LeBron and Westbrook can't stop kyrie.
All KD had to do is call Westbrook and say, brother in need to win a chip asap and GSW gives me the best opportunity. Westbrook would've been salty but they'd still be friends, but he ruined it all for himself
Harun MUFC true.
Harun MUFC doubt it. If he really wanted to win he would've taken a backseat to KD
Khari DeVore no I'm talking about KD
Harun MUFC Westbrook would've taken a backseat
It's weird. Russell must've been begging KD not to leave and KD probably lowkey lied like he would consider staying but he knew he was leaving. And he didn't have the heart to just tell Russ to his face. Cause Russ is acting like KD the fakest brotha alive. They can't even dap one another up.
GatorGirl04 that actually did happen I think it was on first take where they talked about it. SAS said russell tried to get KD to stay and he opened up in a way he usually doesn't so KD had multiple chances to get be straight forward but wasn't man enough to do it.
GatorGirl04 I think Russ was under the impression he was coming back. I've listened to the press conference he did when he resigned a few times. The things he said that caught me off guard was when Russ said, "I was a little lost, distraught by it." I had to replay it a few times because he covered from that emotional slip pretty well.
GatorGirl04 yes, something is odd with those 2.
Kevin Durant Is 80 Pounds
Andrew Noriega 250 its cuz he is like 7'1 he looks skinny lol
Andrew Noriega he weigh more than Lebron lol
No he doesn't
Andrew Noriega 80 pounds assassin.
He's actually 242 just cause you that much don't mean you'll be heavy there's to typed there's different body types Lebron has a bigger body KD just skinny man
Did Skip roast Lebron for leaving Cleveland? I can't remember how he felt....
Kevin Durant made it personal when he decided not to inform Westbrook, Westbrook had to find out on social media.
I calling it rn KD will cry from getting booed
4:54 check out Joy beautiful smile
I remember when Durant called Chris Bosh a "fake tough guy". It appears that it takes one to know one.
Shots fired at ESPN by all 3
I'm starting to hate how ppl keep say if draymond didn't get suspended gsw would've won. but no one say anything about year before when love n kyrie was injured cavs would've won. lol the hate is real
the media loves to see black successful men at odds with each other.
it's happens in almost every industry, music, television and sports.
even our comedians can help beefing with each other.
and if there's beef, ppl like skip will find every opportunity to make a big deal out of it.
black ppl need to do better because all of our infighting is must see TV for messy ppl.
cory burks just stop please stop jesus
cory burks L
cory burks Black people need to stop looking at other blacks as Brothas and sistas and begin to realize they are part of the global human community. You are so near-sighted and narrow-minded.
cory burks it's not that serious cousin
cory burks cave men have drama too not just blacks
Kevin Durant stopped playing in that series all you have to do is watch the playoff tape.
lol Yeah he lost on purpose cause he knew Lebron would stomp him
I always say this. You can just tell he didn't want to lose to Lebron again in the finals.
3:54 "there wll be a time and a plate" hahahaha
Kevin Durant Is A GREAT Player But A SUCKA!
Joy over Molly all day. Specially today
DURANT is the flippin reason that OKC failed to beat the Warriors in Game 6 to finish them off. 10-for-freakin 31! He can't blame anyone but himself.
best commentary sports team on TV when you add Chris
KD should've stayed at OKC for 1 extra year and at least try to get revenge on GSW. Then they could've had the chance to beat the cavs for the championship.
Yea but Cavs would've beaten the brakes off of the Thunder and that would've been another L against Lebron for KD which he can't have.
NightHwk The Cavs might have beaten the thunder but it would be a hard competitive series.
If the thunder had KD right now they would've been built to beat CLE imo. They probably would've gotten revenge on the warriors as well, but KD wanted the easy way out
75erick75 I agree bro
Nope. Bron and Kyrie would've outplayed them and made KD/Westbrook's chemistry look horrid. They were always an accident waiting to happen I guess everyone forgot about that since KD jumped ship.
You can't go 1 for 8 from the field in the 4th quarter of a critical game 7 and blame someone else for losing. He choked and bounced - KD is a beta, I've been saying it for years, and he proved it. He could have gone to all but 2 teams and no-one would have had a problem with him leaving. But, he chose the 1st team on the list.
Kevin Durant threw that game. ..
I believe that bro 100% He couldn't make a shot and actually took ill advised shots last 3 games. He also could not wait to make out with the Warriors once they beat them.
Its kinda annoying that they are comparing MJ and Brady, two different sports..
I feel like when skip talks I can't hear him and i have to turn my volume up.. then when shannon talks I have to turn it back down.....
I don't watch this show at all, but I like seeing comments on these videos. But more importantly, THANK GOD BROUSSARD AND HIS 'SOURCES" ISN'T ON ESPN ANYMORE. Honestly, I didn't know he went to fox til I saw him in the thumbnail, lol.
Westbrook needs to go ahead a swing on Durant and make it official. I think the only thing that prevents him from doing that is that he doesn't have the team behind him to back up any power move he made against Durant.
Like Goodell "hating" the Pats is fake drama, it is just part of the script... It is just like when Vince would hate a wrestler, it is part of the stroyline
As a Cavs fan, the move and the destination didn't bother me, he's a free agent he can leave. But how he did it - saying he wouldn't have gone if they won, not even letting Russ know, telling Russ and Sam Presti he is staying a day before you signed with Golden State, that's my issue
Don't "nobody" mention game 6? No Shannon, that's the ONLY thing people mention. nobody talks about game 7 or what that box score looked like but that's none of my business.
OKC was not coached properly. The staff i think did not know how to handle two super scorer in a single team.
why did all of these guys leave espn?
Durant I'm sorry but that was sucker move joining the Warriors!
And to mention all the sport
media did was talking about it for months and months
yes
Haters gonna hate, GO DUBS!
I am so disappointed kanter is not available for this game.
Make the KD vs Westbrook fight happen as the co main event of the McGregor vs Mayweather boxing match.
4:15 the irony 😂
Saturday's game is gonna be insane the crowd is gonna be so loud in Oklahoma and they will boo Durant every time he touches the ball
Idk why Draymond is bullying Durant??? He only took 10 shots and they criticize him for that.
it's funny how Golden state has a worse record at this point then they did last year with KD
I usually agree with Shannon but not this time. Dont get stuck in the "OKC led the series 3-1" moment. That was one moment. KD left OKC for a perceived better environment. Better front office and better team dynamic. And a better chance of winning a ring.
Besides, which top employee leaves their job to join a worse company? Unless you want to tell me that OKC is better than GSW?
saying it's nice to play with u selfish players implicitly assumes that he hadn't had that before.
so Chris broussards example did not work. what he said didn't implicitly make the assumption that his former employers and co workers were NOT great. which KDs did
Pretty funny how they delete comments.
Why doesn't anybody talk about the possibility Durant didn't like the organization ? We had ibaka , harden , etc. and they were all traded away.
Shannon trying to say Kevin Durant lied. Boy Russell just said he texted him. A text conversation can equate to "talking to". Stop being technical
Westbrook getting triple double against warriors come back to this comment after game
KD better bring his ear plugs to the area cause it's gunna get loud AF with those Boo's
i didnt like shannon at first but he turned into one of my favorites on tv
Been saying for awhile the kd isn't the main guy on a championship team even if he's the highest scorer he's not that guy that will take over in clutch on command but neither was Russ but steph and klay are that guy and both are okay not being that guy if they're asked to take a back seat
I don't think Westbrook cares about winning right now. I think he is happy averaging a Triple double and potentially winning an MVP
Draymond is the glue
I don't get how the organization treated Russ better
Kd got more money
Got more deals
Got noticed as their best player
Was on a team respected throughout the league
Had the best gm in the west
And Russ is a willing passer to
As a whole, KD was wrong. When he talked about the comment about the Warriors being unselfish and the media trying to cause conflict from that comment, yes he is absolutely right. But this "drama" with Russ began when he did not give his teammate of 8 years a heads up when he decided to leave to go to the Warriors. Whether its because he didn't have he courage to tell Russ he was joining the team that beat them in the Playoffs previously or as he said he and Russ just weren't that close, facts is Russ took it personally and he hasn't tried to reach out to him to try to mend fenced not once since he's left. To me KD has handled this entire situation poorly, he has come off as corny and in some ways immature and that is why this "drama" exists.
Skip has no clue
Skip is putting words in KD's mouth
Kevin Durant leaving wasn't just about getting a championship.. It was also about preserving his brand ranking/popularity and marketability. Curry had been siphoning a lot of attention away from Kevin Durant (and LeBron for that matter) with NBA fans. Kevin Durant going to golden state effectively keeps his name up, while stealing a little light/glory back from Curry. Since Durant has gone to GSW, we haven't heard much about Curry
thats crazy how skip defends durant but change his tone if it was lebron
KD needs to stop answering these questions
Durant needs to shut up and play!!
you gotta agree with this! westbrook is oviously not happy with his decision and is a little mad but he is purposely exagerating and making it serious so that everyone thinks that he is really sad and heartbroken! okc fans this goes for you too! they can still be friends but westbrook doesn't want to and is making it hard for everyone
I would like to know what color bras KD wears these days?
KD chose the easiest path he could find to a ring. I used to like him but he is the LeBron in my mind now. I like LBJ now, as he has already proven his greatness.
The media will not let this go, they love to invent and talk about 'drama', so Kevin just needs to leave it behind him and play ball.
So what he get's booed. His paycheck will be the same and then the sun rises again.
how can okc with kd have the best chance to beat gsw but cavs got no shot ?
I don't think it's gonna be that bad, Durant WILL get booed.
Most people forget okc was up 3-1 they would have went to the finals if he stayed but lost to the cavs in 5 games
KD is like that girl you used to hang out with but once she started hanging out with the cool kids now she starts acting funny towards you
Man - Kevin really took a sucka move, still hurts to have seen that.
KD just needs to just shut up and play the game and stop talking because the more he opens his mouth the more hate he gets. Just let it go dude, it's over.
nba is turning into a reality show
OKC was the main dude. GSW was the side dude. KD was the girl.
Shannon, stop coughing.
What a coincidence, the Cavs and Cubs both comeback down 1 - 3 the Finals/WS to break very long title droughts... What are the chances that happens in the exact same year, 1 and a billion..
whydouneedakno sports fans just can't be satisfied."unlikely" doesent mean impossible
whydouneedakno we are literally on a floating rock in space rotating around a ball of fire and your questioning what's possible
Is skip sick or something ? He sounds like a shell of himself.
Peter Spliffin might be hiding it
Peter Spliffin that Pats comeback took a toll on Skip lol
Peter Spliffin yeah for real he looks like that in all the videos of today
I don't think KD leaving has anything to do with Westbrook. I just think he was just frustrated with the Thunder organization. You would figure that if your team is close to winning a championship, you wouldn't trade a key piece of your team...you would try to add to it. It happened with Harden and then to Ibaka. He probably just realized that the Thunder were content with being a good team, but weren't committed to being champions. Even if they would have gotten past GS, they would still have to face the Cavs. He knew it wasn't going to happen in OKC. And when deciding on where he would go, he probably felt there were only 3 teams that were championship contenders...Golden State, Cleveland, and San Antonio. Cleveland and San Antonio already have superstar small forwards so he chose the team that didn't.
Trading Harden wasn't something they planned. Once in an interview, Ibaka said Harden wanted to leave. He was sad, but he wanted out. In OKC he would be 6th man of the year forever. He wanted "his" team.
Sarang Desai Harden didn't necessarily want to leave...he wanted to get paid. He would've stayed if okc would have been willing to pay to keep him. They weren't, so he left.
Yeah, he wanted either money or star position. They couldn't offer any, so he left.
And KD is 6'10". He can easily play any 4 positions on the floor. So he could've played 4 in SA. That would've been a superteam. Kawhi, KD, LaMarcus.
LeBron played 4 in Miami, so he could've played 4. That would've been superteam.
Irving, James, Love, Thompson.
So he was weak, and wanted the ring easiest way possible.
Yes he could have played the 4...but he would have still been criticized for joining a superteam anyways. Might as well join a team where he could play his natural position. And...the easiest way for him to get a ring would have been to join the cavs. They are defending champs.
Whatever ring(s) KD wins with the warriors won't have much meaning unless he pulls a LeBron move and go back to OKC but I just don't see him doing that.
awesomeaf1 not the same, lebron never had westbrook and harden abd the supporting cast kd had in okc , in his first Cleveland tenure
Durant felt that he couldn't win with Westbrook....,um hello YOU created that monster. You were Westbrook's mentor in his rookie year. That means all of that dude's bad habits he either got or learned from who? Y.O.U. You didn't do anything to stop him. You set that tone. You gave life to that monster when you allowed guys like Ron Artest Tony Allen Shawn Marion and even Jason Kidd to bully you the way they did. You had the power of influence in the palm of your hands. That means you could've influenced some of the decisions that Sam Presti made but of course you didn't . You just went with the status quo. Now you wanna play victim.
Shannon stop the bull okc is still relevant don't disrespect
Theres going to be a alot of ghosts in the stands .. BOOOOOO
Imagine kd actually playing like the 2nd best player in the league. Scary
I enjoy watching warriors basketball but definitely routing for Westbrook to pit another triple double on them and get the win.
skip draymond played 2 games after that, stop making excuses for gs!
Joy is so FINE!
how do you know if Russell lying
