His lack of leadership torpedoes his teams because there is no adult in the room

We can’t keep seeing the same patterns happen over and over again to each KD team and not come to the conclusion on what the common denominator is

As a Suns fan, I was happy when he came and happier when he left. Now I am sadder than ever.

Amazing player. But a snake

Look back fondly on his time here, have always loved watching him play, and it put us in an interesting position as the villains of the league which I had never experienced before.

That being said, he is undoubtedly an insecure weirdo.

DONT YOU REGRET NOT COMING TO THE KNNNNIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICCCKKKKKKKSSSSSSSSSSS

The Suns just lost something when he joined the team. I can’t explain it, but they weren’t nearly as enjoyable to watch.

As someone who loves watching great hoopers, it was awesome. As someone whose team didn’t win a chip with him, he’s no Bron.

Nets KD was a whole lotta fun until it wasn’t but then we got a bunch for him to set ourselves up for the next decade.

He’s been my favorite player since he was in college so I’m still pretty excited he hoops for my team now.

Got no issues. Got two titles and three finals with him. Glad we got that last one without him though. Curry better.

Bus rider

As a Nets fan we are probably the only fanbase that dont hate him.

A lot can be said of his leadership and his passiveness towards Kyrie’s antics.

But when he was healthy he showed up and balled out and nearly got us past the eventual champs in 2021 basically on his own. He also has had typically positive things to say about the org and his time here.

That whole era was a massive failure that we all do not remember fondly, however I dont think theres any particular disdain towards KD, its more Kyrie.

He was great. It’s a shame a pandemic and the whole Kyrie circus kept that team from achieving their potential

Nets fan, he did what he could and the team was stalling it is what it is

Enjoy laughing at his downfall. Also enjoy watching him.

Still love the dude for what he did here. But he needs a wife in the worst way.

Ball is life but ball is not wife

Love his game… HATE his mindset…

Insecure incel that got carried by Steph

He made OKC relevant. I think fondly of his career before he left. His departure had a domino effect that eventually gave us a championship. That’s it.

Edit: also gave us the Russ MVP season. Which was more fun to watch than almost every other KD era team in OKC outside the 2012 squad.

Still the best player OKC has ever drafted (I am including the Sonics history with them as well). One of the best scorers of all tims, and even as he approaches 40, he remains a bucket-getter.

He does his job in playing basketball. Idk why people expect him to be everybody on the teams father figure.

First domino that lead OKC winning a championship. Can’t really be mad about that anymore. Probably the best player in that tier of players that aren’t goats. Like who wouldn’t want this guy, but ultimately the way he joined the warriors and what has happened since has just kept him out of that top tier conversation that he should belong in otherwise.

Of the three headcases we acquired to chase a title, he’s the one I can forgive the most. After he left, he kinda copped to why things didn’t work in Brooklyn, stated his case, and took a bit of accountability, which as a fan I respect.

Incredibly talented player that needs a Star like Curry to keep him grounded. He’s not going to be the LBJ or Curry on a team. He’s just not as level headed.

He can say some insane stuff sometimes but it’s just basketball stuff. He can speak his mind, it might be stupid to me but a lot of ppl say stupid things. Players can be great a playing but not very knowledgeable on judging talent. Just look at Jordan.

Big fan of his time with the Warriors but after he left I didn’t miss all the drama. He has a horrible need to make himself the center of attention. My appreciation for how Curry operates skyrocketed after KD dipped.

The only place I feel like he’s beloved with no weird vibes is Seattle lol.

As a Warriors fan, we were obviously a better team because of the talent he brought to the team, but we played better as a TEAM and played a more beautiful brand of basketball before he was here. For all the deserved crap Draymond gets for losing his composure over the years, i will always take his side in his blowup on KD during that game. KD brought a attitude of me me me to the team that we didnt have before he came, with his demanding of the ball and pouting when he didnt get it, to his calling out of Kerr and desire to go hero ball. On top of all of that, there were incidents of him just being a surly ass to fans at times, a far cry from man of the people Steph or even chill dude Klay. And now for KD to give tho shady digs at Klay and Draymond? His attitude is the whole reason that even as one of the greatest offensive weapons the league has ever seen, he will always be a bus rider because of his lack of leadership and people skills

Love him. Love watching his game (so aesthetic). Love that he came and joined us and we played the most beautiful, absurdly overpowered basketball for those 3 years. Love that he’s just an insecure terminally online weirdo who just breathes hoops. Sorta wish he could find some peace with his lengthy list of accomplishments as time goes on, but 🤷‍♂️.

I disliked him for a while. But after we won a ring I’m fine with his decision.

I was more happy with the team before he was traded. Great player but absolutely poisoned the well

One of the most underrated players of all time.

I’ll always be disappointed I never got to see Kd in a bulls jersey. Maybe in another lifetime

Don’t really mind. More concerned aboht beating Spurs/Knicks

undeniable all time talent but lacks the mentality and personal accountability to use that talent to carry a team.

too concerned with his public image. conflicted with not living up to his brand

wasnt trained in industry politics and takes things weirdly personally. should be the nba’s wiz khalifa but seems to always be complaining about something or surrounded by negativity.

It is what it is. still my goat tho

I wish it had worked! Hugely disappointing but I’ll never hate the guy.

He’s a whiny little bitch

So long, and thanks for the chips.

I wish he’d play for the Bulls

Can’t stand him. His best friend Eddie is on his payroll and his entire existence is to sick his stans on anyone who criticizes KD. It’s annoying and poisoned our fanbase.

Warriors fan, appreciate everything he did for the team, yes he had his own reasons and his own demons (still), but doesn’t really detract from his contribution. I hope he overcomes those demons at some point.

KD is an amazing player and Ive always enjoyed watching him. I just wish we hadn’t gutted our team for him but sometimes you gotta swing for the fences.

lol is this Kevin durrants Reddit account?

Awesome to watch. glad he’s not on the knicks. I just see his highlights really, and a couple of prime time games.

I remember when he came to Texas, that year Greg Oden was at OSU. Thought Durant being a 7 footer playing like a guard was crazy, and wouldn’t workout in the NBA. Glad i was wrong.

This was pre-gossip and social media that has EVERYTHING come out. So it was kinda nice you had to enjoy watching as just basketball fans

Basically Durant plays an entertaining brand of basketball….. and a nasty, distinct style. Great entertainment.

Bay Area native, My dad lifelong warriors fan said “that might be best player to ever put on a warriors uniform” and he’s been hardcore his whole life. I will always love Durant because his play is beautiful and I was lucky to witness that team. I got to see him live once and I was in awe that someone that big was so skilled. And he helped bring back two chips, he will always be looked back at fondly in my eyes. Sadly he seems like a selfish player and he gets in the way of his own talents. He hated Kerrs system cus he couldn’t iso but he was amazing in that system. Also he is the Olympics goat in my eyes. But if you’re not happy playing next to Steph, idk when you’ll ever be happy… and I just wish He would stop sending weird shots about the team

It was certainly a lot of fun while he was here. He gave us everything including an Achilles to try to three-peat, and for that I am happy to see his jersey one day get hung in the rafters at Chase Center. It would be nice if he could quit shitting on us though. 

One of my all time favorite players to watch & glad he was on the Nets.

Amazing player to watch, I don’t really care about the off the court stuff he hasn’t harmed anyone.

Mega bitch for how he acts and for going to GSW. But is great still, and like we saw in GSW, a good team can win with him.

he never should have left.

Had a great time rooting for him while he played for us. Then he broke our hearts by being so fucking weak, so for a few years (when he played for the dubs), I hated his guts. Nowadays I don’t care what he does. He’s a great, great basketball player, but he’s a weak man.

He’s a glorified jamaal crawford at this point

He put ball in hoop good, entertaining when bucket go swish. 

He not criminal nor hurting others, so don’t care I just watch ball go in hoop.

He idiot online but I don’t care because I have a life, he can make himself look like idiot all he want that’s not my life 

Hope this helps. 

I liked him way more before.

warriors fan, obviously super happy while he was here, sad he left, they could have ran it back for a couple more titles. I don’t really like or hate him now, kinda hoping we snag him back as our team needs serious help lol

Used to like him, not care about his social media stuff, starting to really change my opinion on him especially when he seems like the biggest Prima Donna throwing shade at people.

He obviously helped us. On the court great player. Off the court theres something about his personality that is off putting

He never played for my team (Sixers fan since 85) but he’s one of my favorite players. I don’t care about his twitter, his love life, his zodiac sign or none of that weird shhh. He can play ball.

He should have stayed on the Nets.

I’ll respect the talent, but not the man. He’ll rightfully go down as a generational talent, but I think Deadpool’s nickname is appropriate for KD- “the Merc with a Mouth”. Taking down trolls and haters is one thing, but I just feel he got a little criticism early in his career, saw celebrity a bit for what it really is, and is just dismissive, disrespectful, and arrogant. He shits on people too freely for relatively nothing.

Seattle SuperSonics fan here.

We love him. The day he left OKC for Golden State was a championship for us.

His continued support for the return of the Sonics is a major reason why he will always be beloved.

Could honestly see him playing his final season as a Sonic in their first expansion season back.

Surprisingly indifferent.
Was happy when he joined, don’t recall cared he left

Good player, stay off my team.

Thunder fan. He will never be fully respected by anyone in OKC. Respect for his talent and his accomplishments but with myself and the vast majority of the fan base he is still a snake and I want nothing to do with him trying to weasel back into the fanbase good graces when he is done.

He is a snake and a liar and I hope when he retires he is viewed as the insecure mercenary he is.

The fact that this question is being asked about someone that plays a sport for a living is telling of this country……

KD dickriders might be the fiercest on the internet so I think you’re going to get a lot of biased replies 

Too much of a wimp to get the job done with the franchise that drafted him. Not only did he have to ring chase by signing with another contender in free agency, he had to sign with the Warriors that had already won previously! What a loser.

Top 20 loser

I’m a UT fan, so it kind of counts? We have a mural of him in the our stadium, the Moody Center. UT fans appreciate him, but his off court stuff makes me wish we had a better representative of our school.

I’m pretty sure every fan base after Golden State will tell you the same thing!!!

Not worth blowing up your potiental over…. I’m sure Brooklyn and Phoenix would have rather not had KD at all than the end result of having him

His career is kind of hollow when he can’t get out of the 2nd round (3 GSW years excluded).

One of my favorites still, teared up when he left OKC, still had Goatbrook tho. Then we got Melo/PG, cried infront of my garage because I was happy.

Then that didnt work out and i cried again

Not his fault he left.

Take a guess

Expansion Sonics seems like the perfect retirement home for him, imo. Puts butts in seats for the first year or two while the expansion draft cast works its way through. He’s gotta be done by the time the youth movement really starts though.

I was cool with him until he came after Captain Klay now he just seems like so bitter.

I’m a fan of him because I grew up one town over from him. One of the most skilled scorers the game has ever seen, but never had what it takes to be a true leader. He had his chance in Brooklyn to prove otherwise and he fumbled

It’s like KD’s an agent of chaos everywhere he goes. I think KD going to the Knicks is the actual reason that Covid happened.
