He didn't say anything too bad; just a little post-loss hand waving. We're just riffing.

Thirteen more in the playoffs too. You'd think he'd be a quadruple-double threat but he just doesn't care about blocks. Over 1200 games and he has three games with five blocks.

Ironic since a block is probably going to end up being the most iconic play of his entire career.

Also I think he cares very much about blocks, it's just that he saves them for when it will maximize embarrassment to the opposing player. I love it when he baits people like this:

I'm really excited to watch the rerun of this game tommorow. Troy Williams was a not very savvy but very long and explosive athlete for the university of Indiana, was undrafted.

I hope the Grizzlies sweep the Warriors in the playoffs with all undrafted players

Kinda, at the beginning he was all "aw shucks" innocence and the media ate it all up. He was a complete golden boy for a while. You can pinpoint when that changed cuz there was some article about him not being the nice guy anymore and he started acting tough like Russ (only not nearly as incisive) to the media and saying really stupid things about how yall don't understand him

I would like to put this out here: if we have any talented artists I would very much want to see a commission of Westbrook as Guts, Durant as Griffith, Curry as Void, Klay as Ubik, Draymond as Conrad, and Iggy as Slan during the Eclipse. If you could do this or point me in the direction of someone that could I would appreciate it. Thank you

If anything, Durant's quote is the correct and not bitchy version of when LeBron called his detractors loser virgins a few years back. This does not in any way excuse KD's terrible political opinions of course.
