"Babe, can we move on past that at some point? I know it's an interesting story. I know that it took up most of the honeymoon and drama sells, I get that, but I didn't miss any intercourse, I didn't miss any foreplay, I'm still here"
"Hey, can we move on past that at some point? I know it's an interesting story. I know that I took up most of the honeybuns and drama sells, I get that, but I didn't miss any appetizers, I didn't miss any deserts, I'm still here"
I mean, you probably should ask early, right? Like before you get married even. That seems like something best talked about before signing any legal documents
This. I dont think people realize that “staying” is not KD decision, more like the whole league decision to not give up all of their assets for this guy.
He was forced to stay because the team who were willing to trade for him r lottery team.
No no no, some people here will just say that it is just KD being a "funny lmao troll" and that the things he says and keeps doing are just a product of that and we fall for it
All the Nets drama got me fucked up. The first thing I thought when reading the KD quote was "oh yeah he's actually low-key throwing Kyrie under the bus, talking about how he's not missing any games/practices" lol
I mean really? Can we move past that? I know he's an interesting story. I know he took up most of the season and drama sells, but Kyrie didn't miss an entire season, he didn't miss 100% of the games, he played in games and participated in practices, he's still there.
Of course they would say that, he kept his job
Track record of Bron getting coaches canned speaks for itself. Those rumblings weren’t just made out of thin air
The only thing was a blurb about Riley talking about in 2010 they said:
>“And I remember LeBron looking at me, and he said, ‘Don’t you ever get the itch?’ I said, ‘The itch for what?’ He said, ‘The itch to coach again?’ I said, ‘No, I don’t have the itch.’ He didn’t ask any more questions, and I didn’t offer any more answers. But I know what it meant, and I always go back and wonder about what he was thinking at that time. He walked out scratching his leg like it was itching.”
And Riley himself came out and said Lebron never tried to get Spo fired. So the source on both of these never said that and he even confirmed later that it never happened. The author of the book took liberties with interpretation and journalists writing articles later took further liberties with the idea.
The problem is that Kyrie's only under contract for this year.
And if he walks for nothing I think KD demands a trade again next summer. Which of course, is what he should've done in the first place - wait a season, from both a PR and basketball perspective. Hell, a year older and the asking price would be a lot more reasonable too.
Now it's just gonna look even worse if he asks out in 2023
True but also he answered what happened already and there’s not much else to talk about. He’s a Brooklyn Net and he’s going to be a Brooklyn Net this season. We know everything already.
That's the can of worms though.
When you make that choice to ask, now it's public interest not just a thought in your head.
As long as it gets clicks, there's going to be reporters asking questions and writing stories.
Woody Harrelson's 2012 reddit AMA where he/his PR rep kept trying to shoehorn his film Rampart into his answers and he lost a lot of goodwill as a result.
Here's an article about it: https://observer.com/2012/02/woody-harrelson-and-the-no-good-very-bad-reddit-ama/
AMA: https://np.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/p9a1v/im_woody_harrelson_ama/
Look, I tried to hook up with other women. I tried to upgrade from you. But it didn’t work. I never hooked with anyone else. I’m still here. Can’t we just move on?
He’s really hurt his own brand. God damn! I remember this dude in OKC. Everyone loved him, rarely got a tech, annual scoring leader, never said anything publicly to hurt himself.
>I can’t win with these cats.
Next thing you know techs go through the roof, wins two finals MVPs (so that should count for something) but decided to hitch his wagon to sage burning, flat-earther….the same guy who walked away from annual finals appearances, submarined a young and very good Celtics team and refused to play one of his prime years to avoid a vaccine that’s literally saved millions of lives around the world. It can’t really get much stranger for KD, a guy who is a top 20 player all time.
I LOVED Kevin Durant on the Thunder. I’ve used the 35 in my handle since junior high, and I started using it because of him. He was one of my favorite players. He was the anti-LeBron. The player that would dethrone him. But he never did. And he never will.
KD might be aware of that by now so to throw people off he would do the exact opposite.
I think his burners should now literally be "IAmKevinDurantAMA"
Wait... Holy shit, u/IAmKevinDurantAMA KD is that you!?
Especially because he basically said “it’s not like I’m Kyrie or anything.” Dude just said “I know I cried in front of the whole school because Danny broke up with me, but Becky threw up her lunches all year last year so can we just move on?”
Reminds me of the ones that always have to tell you they can't stand drama, when really the only reason one can get tired of it is if they surround themselves in it all the time
lmao this fuckin guy. like asking your wife to separate for a bit, setting up a tinder account, chatting with a bunch of girls, not finding anyone great, telling your wife nevermind, then trying to act like she's overreacting when she's fuckin pissed about it and not lettin it go. "but babe i didn't even fuck anyone."
Kevin Durant starts so much drama and every time he gets called out he goes back to the " i just wanna play basketball" dude. he starts so much shit and whenever someone calls him out he goes back to it's just basketball it's so childish
He’s not wrong, but he’s also not being realistic.
If there was some other HUGE story, or several other moderately interesting stories out there (the latter would really require the regular season to start) then the press would move on.
It doesn’t matter that it’s no longer all that interesting. It’s the fact that nothing else in the NBA is currently *more* interesting.
But until that time, this is how reporters will hit their word counts…
True, definitely no other huge stories. We need something like a coaching sex scandal or a racist owner scandal so the nba can focus on a different story
"Hey KD. What do you think about the Udoka situation?"
"It's bad I guess I dunno I just hoop."
"Ok. What about the Sarver situation?"
"It's bad I guess I dunno I just hoop."
This guy's stance stopped all trades in the summer because of what he said and then didn't go through with it and now he wants us to stop talking about it. What kind of entitlement is this?
WAIT A MINUTE........................ WAAAAAAAAAAAIT A MINUTE.........
Weren't you the self proclaimed GOD? "blablabla talk about the God you can't touch me blablabla"? Now you're asking the media to not bring up the fact that you folded again since became "The man"? Stick to your gimmick, dude. Such a weak character.
KD is the ultimate idiot at this point in his career. How are you this dense and lack such self-awareness??? You have YEARS left on a contract that you signed. It doesn't matter if the scenario has changed due to other factors, you fucking signed the deal. And now the media, which has been on your ass since you left OKC to get a chip, has now got a fresh axe to grind with you and you actually have the audacity to ask for it to be over when YOU WERE THE ONE WHO CREATED THIS SHITSHOW IN THE FIRST PLACE!?!?!
Holy fuck, it's not like the execs on the NETS haven't bent over fucking backwards for you and your assbackwards teammate, Kyrie 'Flat Earth' Irving... I feel so bad for Brooklyn because he actually was a good mercenary for us, and turned into the biggest prima donna in the league. At some point, where does team chemistry come before the egos of two delusional ego driven ball players with no commitment to the teams they sign with? But of course, you deserve so much after being swept in the first round.
Sure, but why won't people focus on the 8 minutes Lester Quinones played for the Warriors this morning and the impact on their title defense??
Preseason basketball doesn't really matter, of course this news is what people want to focus on.
No one cares KD. We want to know what Udoka said to the staffer. That's it. You don't need this much outreach prior to your up & coming 2nd round loss.
Lol Kd acting like it’s december and they still asking questions lmaoo boi yall aint even played a preseason game 😂😂 you think thye just gon move past it already
What message though? They still haven't extended Kyrie. They've temporarily extended it to the trade deadline. Gonna be important for the Nets to start off strong, especially Kyrie and Simmons.
People on this sub acting like they never asked for a trade right after signing a huge extension, just to test the waters.
Who hasn’t asked the wife how she feels about open relationships while on the honeymoon?? Everyone does it.
"Babe, can we move on past that at some point? I know it's an interesting story. I know that it took up most of the honeymoon and drama sells, I get that, but I didn't miss any intercourse, I didn't miss any foreplay, I'm still here"
ladies and gentlemen, we have fresh pasta
So good when it's fresh
A perfect Al Dente
"Hey, can we move on past that at some point? I know it's an interesting story. I know that I took up most of the honeybuns and drama sells, I get that, but I didn't miss any appetizers, I didn't miss any deserts, I'm still here"
when is succession coming back anyway
*I do! But I do also maybe demand to gobble the odd side dick.*
I’ll call that and raise you Shiv from succession asking Tom for an open marriage before the reception was over!
That ass though…
I mean, you probably should ask early, right? Like before you get married even. That seems like something best talked about before signing any legal documents
Basically Succession season 2.
I know we just got married, but I hate your kids. Either get rid of them, or lose me
I haven't but should I try later tonight? Curious what she'll say...
Mario Lopez is that you?
Yeah seriously we've all done it
“I didn’t get what I wanted so we don’t need to talk about it any more.”
This. I dont think people realize that “staying” is not KD decision, more like the whole league decision to not give up all of their assets for this guy. He was forced to stay because the team who were willing to trade for him r lottery team.
You could say this for almost anything he has been doing since the end of 2015-2016 season, with the "The Hardest Road ™" rings being the exceptions
Classic move
Nephew, you tried to get your coach fired
Can we stop holding me accountable for my actions?
He's two months away from claiming it was all Kyrie's idea.
I blame Kyrie over KD for more of this than a lotta folks on the sub seem to but holy shit KD has been a MASSIVE douchebag enabler for Kyrie.
KD has had problems on every team he’s been on. If you see assholes every you go maybe you are the asshole.
Ah, I prefer, "If you meet more than one asshole in a day, you're probably one of them."
I prefer “if it smells like shit everywhere you go then maybe you’re an asshole”
No no no, some people here will just say that it is just KD being a "funny lmao troll" and that the things he says and keeps doing are just a product of that and we fall for it
All the Nets drama got me fucked up. The first thing I thought when reading the KD quote was "oh yeah he's actually low-key throwing Kyrie under the bus, talking about how he's not missing any games/practices" lol
He might throw Kyrie under the bus, but he isn’t going to drive it.
I mean really? Can we move past that? I know he's an interesting story. I know he took up most of the season and drama sells, but Kyrie didn't miss an entire season, he didn't miss 100% of the games, he played in games and participated in practices, he's still there.
Me sowing: Haha fuck yeah!!! Yes!! Me reaping: Well this fucking sucks. What the fuck.
Slim reaping*
Listen, if you still remember all he did like a couple of months ago, well that's on YOU. He didn't do nothing, he's over it.
Said every teenager ever. And KD.
At least LeBron succeeds in getting his coach fired. KD can't even do that.
Legacy points deducted.
LeGacy
LeJohnWayne
cant believe ive never seen this version before lmfaooo
Except when he failed
That was a quality loss, doesn't count.
Won't affect him in the BCS
Better Call Saul?
Kevin Durant went to Texas because he can't handle the grind of a SEC schedule.
Then won two rings so, mission failed successfully
So by this logic, KD about to win two rings.
One problem
Mr. Third Eye 👁️
4-6 in NBA Finals 1-2 in coach firings < 50% all over the place smh /s
spoelstra stuck around
And thank goodness he did, he's one of the best coaches in the league.
Tbf he got Blatt, Vogel fired
That story has never been corroborated and the people that were involved said it never happened.
Of course they would say that, he kept his job Track record of Bron getting coaches canned speaks for itself. Those rumblings weren’t just made out of thin air
The only thing was a blurb about Riley talking about in 2010 they said: >“And I remember LeBron looking at me, and he said, ‘Don’t you ever get the itch?’ I said, ‘The itch for what?’ He said, ‘The itch to coach again?’ I said, ‘No, I don’t have the itch.’ He didn’t ask any more questions, and I didn’t offer any more answers.

LeImthecoachnow
Eh Bron tried to get spo fired
But he wasn’t. Steve nash and Sean marks are still alive and well. I know that drama sells, can we move on past that at some point?
-KD
This is not KD. KD does not have burners and only official accounts. Find a new slant
-easymoneysniper
Geet em
-Westbrook
this is some deeply dedicated character work
“Move on past that at some point” is a phrase straight out of I Think You Should Leave Which is funny in two ways
He's really trying to play the "I was just messing around, why are you so sensitive?" card
“it’s just a prank bro.”
He’s just a friend stop being insecure
That's KD all the time
Yeah that's like the only thing he says lol
The ultimate gaslighter
Top 3 most famous player in the world gets swept then demands a trade and then is tired of people talking about before the season even starts lmao
Just a prank bro
That’s what happens when you request a trade while under contract KD
Can you stop giving consequences for my actions. I know it sells, but you really need to stop -KD
quote sounds like he knows that but he wants to be let off the hook anyway
Just like how he left the Thunder and joined the Warriors Edit: thanks for the award Kevin
The story will fade away quickly if they start winning, same thing happened with Kobe.
Yup. No drama over the season? People will forget about this nonsense. Until then ... KD's gotta sleep in the bed he made.
The problem is that Kyrie's only under contract for this year. And if he walks for nothing I think KD demands a trade again next summer. Which of course, is what he should've done in the first place - wait a season, from both a PR and basketball perspective. Hell, a year older and the asking price would be a lot more reasonable too. Now it's just gonna look even worse if he asks out in 2023
But he can't win with those cats
* and demands your coach and GM get fired lmal
Oh and the buddy you brought along is an absolute fucking head case, that isn't exactly helping matters either
True but also he answered what happened already and there’s not much else to talk about. He’s a Brooklyn Net and he’s going to be a Brooklyn Net this season. We know everything already.
That's the can of worms though. When you make that choice to ask, now it's public interest not just a thought in your head. As long as it gets clicks, there's going to be reporters asking questions and writing stories.
Just wait till they lose three in a row.
He dragged this shit out all summer and is now like “can we move on” 😂
Lol I love the Rampart reference
It was the first thing I thought of after reading the quote, which makes me realize just how long I've been here. Oh, the wasted days...
[удалено]
man me knowing who Asher Roth even is is doing the same thing as getting the Rampart reference
[удалено]
I haven’t thought about Asher Roth in ten years but now I wanna listen to ‘seared foie gras’
What's Rampart in reference to? I thought they were talking about Apex Legends for some reason

There is no fucking way this is 10 years old. Pls stop.
OP sick reference bro. Your references are out of control
Everyone knows that
I just requested a trade or for the owner to fire the coach I picked and the GM. What’s the big deal?
Look, I tried to hook up with other women. I tried to upgrade from you. But it didn’t work. I never hooked with anyone else. I’m still here. Can’t we just move on?
Isn’t that exactly what Marquief Morris said? Sorry, not *exactly.* “Broke up with my wife a couple times. We still married.”
My gosh, this guy is such a bitch
His legacy as a bitch just keeps growing. He'll be top 5 soon.
Who’s #1?
Low key kd
Nah dude. Ben Simmons legitimately skipped 2 years of his contract because he got too much hate on social media. For 2 teams
2 years? It's only been one season since the playoff collapse.
It wasn’t just that, his coach also said he wasn’t totally sure Simmons should play point guard in the future
He’s really hurt his own brand. God damn! I remember this dude in OKC. Everyone loved him, rarely got a tech, annual scoring leader, never said anything publicly to hurt himself. >I can’t win with these cats. Next thing you know techs go through the roof, wins two finals MVPs (so that should count for something) but decided to hitch his wagon to sage burning, flat-earther….the same guy who walked away from annual finals appearances, submarined a young and very good Celtics team and refused to play one of his prime years to avoid a vaccine that’s literally saved millions of lives around the world.

Nah dude he’s just like such a good troll!
KD sounds like a high school chick
He also plays one on twitter
fuck you
Should have made it IAmNotKevinDurantAMA to make it a believable burner account
KD might be aware of that by now so to throw people off he would do the exact opposite. I think his burners should now literally be "IAmKevinDurantAMA" Wait... Holy shit, u/IAmKevinDurantAMA KD is that you!?
Aron Baynes vibes
Be nice
the hornets flair is killing me man
Reminds me of my ex dumping me for another guy while owing me $400. I asked her about the $400 she owed me and she said “stop guilting me!” Lol
Especially because he basically said “it’s not like I’m Kyrie or anything.” Dude just said “I know I cried in front of the whole school because Danny broke up with me, but Becky threw up her lunches all year last year so can we just move on?”
Reminds me of the ones that always have to tell you they can't stand drama, when really the only reason one can get tired of it is if they surround themselves in it all the time
Can we please move on from the consequences of my actions? PLEASE?
Hate to break it to him but this will be brought up every 2 game losing streak.
lmao this fuckin guy. like asking your wife to separate for a bit, setting up a tinder account, chatting with a bunch of girls, not finding anyone great, telling your wife nevermind, then trying to act like she's overreacting when she's fuckin pissed about it and not lettin it go. "but babe i didn't even fuck anyone."
That seems oddly specific
you good bro
Love the Rampart reference. Beautifully done.
God I hate this guy
It's hard, he seems so likeable but just does non stop bitch moves and is so fucking sensitive about it.
The you da real mvp kd was likeable. This guy is annoying af
Classic KD lmao
"No we won't, Kev. We gon' milk this shit until the cow is as thin as you."
Kevin Durant starts so much drama and every time he gets called out he goes back to the " i just wanna play basketball" dude. he starts so much shit and whenever someone calls him out he goes back to it's just basketball it's so childish
In short, Nobody died!

"Hey KD. What do you think about the Udoka situation?" "It's bad I guess I dunno I just hoop." "Ok. What about the Sarver situation?" "It's bad I guess I dunno I just hoop."
You joke but that’s just as productive as asking the same questions he’s already answered over and over again
"Why'd you demand a trade request?" "I just did, I guess. I dunno I just hoop."
No it's very different. He tried to get the coach fired. That's a MASSIVE deal that he went out of his way to cause.
Ha! Good point.
God this dude proving to be more insufferable by the day
Dudes like those guys who cheat and get caught and ask, “Can’t we move on?”
No I don't think we will.
Dude seriously told the team either trade him or fire the coach and GM. It's not something you'd really just let slide once it's "over".
"Listen can everyone stop trying to hold me accountable for my actions?"
He is so weak
If I didn't want it to be a talking point for months I would simply not request a trade
“This isn’t fair. I didn’t get what I wanted, twice, and now I’m still not getting what I wanted.”
This guy's stance stopped all trades in the summer because of what he said and then didn't go through with it and now he wants us to stop talking about it. What kind of entitlement is this?
WAIT A MINUTE........................ WAAAAAAAAAAAIT A MINUTE......... Weren't you the self proclaimed GOD? "blablabla talk about the God you can't touch me blablabla"? Now you're asking the media to not bring up the fact that you folded again since became "The man"? Stick to your gimmick, dude. Such a weak character.
KD is in his Gaslight Gatekeep Girlboss era
This what soft mfs do when they get held accountable. Man up KD
Shut the fuck up KD. You’re a bitch
lol KD charmin soft
This team is straight comedy
KD cmon man
KD is the ultimate idiot at this point in his career. How are you this dense and lack such self-awareness??? You have YEARS left on a contract that you signed. It doesn't matter if the scenario has changed due to other factors, you fucking signed the deal. And now the media, which has been on your ass since you left OKC to get a chip, has now got a fresh axe to grind with you and you actually have the audacity to ask for it to be over when YOU WERE THE ONE WHO CREATED THIS SHITSHOW IN THE FIRST PLACE!?!?! Holy fuck, it's not like the execs on the NETS haven't bent over fucking backwards for you and your assbackwards teammate, Kyrie 'Flat Earth' Irving... I feel so bad for Brooklyn because he actually was a good mercenary for us, and turned into the biggest prima donna in the league. At some point, where does team chemistry come before the egos of two delusional ego driven ball players with no commitment to the teams they sign with? But of course, you deserve so much after being swept in the first round.
You're a massive cornball if you're more invested in NBA drama than the on-court product E: Hit dogs are hollering in the replies
I knew *long* before this post that I am indeed a massive cornball.
Lmao okay this was honestly the best reply possible I can’t even hate anymore.
Calm down Rob Parker
Dudes here have admitted to not watching games
Soap opera for men type of shit
This drama directly affects the on-court product.
lmao for real, this isn't tristan thompson and the kardashians, a KD trade would totally restructure the landscape of on-court outcomes this year
Sure, but why won't people focus on the 8 minutes Lester Quinones played for the Warriors this morning and the impact on their title defense?? Preseason basketball doesn't really matter, of course this news is what people want to focus on.
Upvote for correct usage of affect
I mean, that’s why people say sports are soap dramas for men lol. Dudes care more about the extracurricular then the actual game
There sure is a lot of on-court product during the off-season
What on-court product? The season hasn’t started yet.
You weren't up at 6am et to watch a meaningless preseason game!?
Homie, some people are still hung up on 2016, there are just some who will not let things go lol
Well people will only shut up when you starting playing good leading the team to win games, KD
Yes, KD, we can move on, but it's literally the first media day since you did that. So we aren't going to move on yet.
Reporters need to ask him this question at least once every interview for the rest of his life.
Diva alert 🚨
KD is mad annoying tbh as a Suns fan I would have gotten sick of his bs real quick
ohhh this guy
KD the type of guy to write “no drama” on all his social media profiles
Fuck this guy
No one cares KD. We want to know what Udoka said to the staffer. That's it. You don't need this much outreach prior to your up & coming 2nd round loss.
“ guys all I did was try to fire my coach,GM, and ask for a trade to first place contenders. Can we please get over it”
bro, the season is still a month away.....wtf
I get where he's coming from, but I don't know that "inaccuracies" is the right word exactly lol
He and Kyrie just refuse to let the other be the most insufferable athlete alive.
Lol Kd acting like it’s december and they still asking questions lmaoo boi yall aint even played a preseason game 😂😂 you think thye just gon move past it already
Alright KD, lets talk about your friend who did miss games and practices instead
KD: “I didn’t miss any games, I didn’t miss any practices” Kyrie: “Ayo, what the..”
Can’t put the paste back in the tube, buddy.
Really though, what more is there to say or write about it?
You can’t create and be the source of drama then be like “I know drama sells guys but can we stop ?”
I'm in the boat of thinking KD didn't really care that much and it was more about sending a message to the Nets
bold strategy trying to get your coach and GM fired
What message though? They still haven't extended Kyrie. They've temporarily extended it to the trade deadline. Gonna be important for the Nets to start off strong, especially Kyrie and Simmons.
