Kevin Durant is happy with his decision to join the Golden State Warriors. He gets to live in a great area, and just won Finals MVP. He’s doing fine. He wasn’t always sure about his decision, though, and he took out that insecurity on agent Rich Kleiman. From Joe Steinberg of the San Francisco Magazine:
“You were f—ed up in China,” Kleiman, looking up from his phone, offers from his plane seat across the aisle from Durant and me.
“That was before I met anybody from the Warriors and dove into the culture. I was basically on my own,” Durant says.
“It was like you were in between two teams.”
“I’m telling you, I was f—ed up for a while!”
“We were all messed up on jet lag,” Kleiman says, turning to me, “and I was up at 6 a.m. and he calls me and says, ‘Yo, are you up?’ And I’m like, ‘Yeah, what’s up?’ And he’s like [yelling], ‘Why the f— did you let me do this to my life?’ And I’m like, ‘Ohh s—, I’m coming over to your room.’”
“That hotel was rock bottom,” says Durant.
A lot of people suspected that Durant took the backlash hard, and this confirms it.
This interview comes on the heels of Durant allegedly using an anonymous Twitter account to defend himself while bashing his former team and coach.
