When it comes to journalists and journalism. There’s a relative trust that the reader automatically puts into the author of the article. You read a post such as this and you trust it because A) This is a credible site and B) We have credible sources.
That’s when the term ‘Insider’ comes in. Every major sports network has their own insiders, people that get information and you trust immediately because they have a good track record. But for some reason, whenever Stephen A Smith talks about the New York Knicks, I have to go ‘mmm, really?’. He says something and I have to question it. But because he’s an insider and always has a pulse on NBA goings on, you trust him right?
Well no, we don’t have to trust them implicitly, you can actually disagree with the claim. And with this latest one from Stephen A, with Kevin Durant as the subject, I screw my face a little.
I know for a fact that Carmelo Anthony has been and will continue to recruit Kevin Durant until the cows come home. I’m also hearing that Kevin Durant is giving the New York Knicks consideration.
Now if you carried on until the end of the video he also mentioned Kobe maybe going to New York, which is laughable. I’m so glad Stephen A said ‘He can’t see it’. He knows that if he didn’t say those four words, people would take the quote and assume that Stephen A can see it happening. But no, he threw his opinion in there and it is with the majority opinion that this possibility is nothing.
Kevin Durant in New York? Please! At least with Washington you get why he’d go there. Why would he go New York? What, because DFish is coaching? Behave.
We know that KD doesn’t care about the market, nobody does anymore, because players today know that they can succeed on any team (except Sacramento and Philadelphia) no matter where the location is.
