Kevin Durant is interesting when it comes to his personality. He’s not the most aggressive player ever but when he is not in the mood. You’ll know about it. He likes to be one of those players that likes to let his play do the talking but sometimes he just has to let off steam. They can be in form of a technical foul. Ranting on Twitter. And today. It was straight to the media.
In Durant’s eyes. The media has this tendency of offending him. (most of the time it’s not deliberate, but that’s neither here nor there) During a press conference on Saturday Kevin Durant decided to air out his thoughts about the media. To the media.
As you could guess. He didn’t go light. (Quotes via Darnell Mayberry of The Oklahoman)
On Saturday, he took things a step further when asked about rampant speculation surrounding Thunder coach Scott Brooks’ job security.
“You guys really don’t know (expletive),” Durant told reporters in his final interview session before Sunday’s All-Star Game.
Durant was later asked what stories he would like the media to focus on more.
“To be honest, man, I’m only here talking to y’all because I have to,” Durant said. “So I really don’t care. Y’all not my friends. You’re going to write what you want to write. You’re going to love us one day and hate us the next. That’s a part of it. So I just learn how to deal with y’all.”
Scott Brooks’ job security should damn well be in danger. The only reason that he is still employed as the head coach of the Oklahoma City Thunder, is because that Westbrook and Durant have had injuries the past couple of years. The James Harden trade truly showed how average a coach Scott Brooks actually is. The loss to the Memphis Grizzlies in the Playoffs showed how average a coach Scott Brooks actually is.
Sorry Kevin. But there is a reason why Scott Brooks’ job security is in question. Because he should’ve been fired last year.
