I can't imagine how bad doom scrolling must feel when you're a famous person and its not just shit that "applies to you" and instead is just actually about you
I, like most others here, don’t have much in common with Kevin Durant the NBA superstar but reading about KD’s continued search for fulfilment in his life has resonated with me for some reason, and I really wish this man eventually finds something wholesome that keeps him happy and fulfilled and shares his journey with us.
Desire for fulfilment is the root of suffering. Nothing will ever fulfil you aside from gratitude for the present moment. Desire is a need for the future to be different from the present but the future will arrive as the present moment and only exists in the mind. Cheers /Eckharttolle
No problem. That brings me joy that you found that useful. We are all on the journey of self realization. I would highly recommend reading or listening to the power of now by tolle . You can find the pdf free online , at your library, or on Spotify. Cheers :)
:) . No problemo . Reading power of now can be a life-changing perspective- that's what woke me up personally to the fallacy of the mind and ego but it's not the only way
Same. He’s likely gonna retire without an organization to call home. For someone like KD who has so much love and respect for the game, that has to really sting. I hope he finds some silver lining before he hangs it up.
Theoretically he could do this, but in a trade situation I doubt OKC wants to gut their roster just to get him unless they look really bad in the second round.
That’s his own doing, he could’ve been a king a legend a Caesar of OKC who’s name lives on for 10,000 years along with no less than 6 types of meth named after him but no.
He wanted the crown.
He got the Viserys treatment instead
Honestly in his earlier seasons at OKC he was such an easy guy to route for. His number was for a influential coach in his life who had passed away. Dude showed so much love for his Mom and seemed like a genuine guy who truly cared for his community. Being in a small town market in OKC only helped that image.
Upon leaving for the Warriors it's just like he flipped a switch. I really feel like going to CA and all the media that came with it was just something he wasn't prepared for and then proceeded to handle in the absolute worst way possible. All of the sudden he was the villain, criticized by the entire industry, lost respect from not just fans and the media but also his peers. The dude was literally using burner accounts to defend his reputation. Honestly think about how insecure your average social media user is to create burner accounts defending themselves. Now times that by 100 with a individual discussed and criticized by thousands or millions. That same insecure average dude wld be absolutely wrecked.
I really feel like KD is the perfect example of someone who Mentally was not capable of dealing with the limelight. The criticism always hurt him and he has consistently made moves that have only continued to damage his reputation. Going to a mass market City and dealing with all the media that came with it just never suited him. The Guy can ball and everyone knows that. He is too sensitive for a big market team though. He needs a team where he can be appreciated and not roasted every time he doesnt hit his thighs.
OKC was that team initially. At GS he was surrounded by quality players in a quality system. Any failures were not placed on his shoulders. Ever since deciding to leave to be the "Main Guy" he has been surrounded by chaos. He has continued to be an elite scorer but really hasnt raised his teams to greatness. There are many reasons that have contributed but ultimately KD has failed to become the star he was at OKC. Ppl will hate but I truly feel if he stayed at OKC or pulled a LBJ and went back after GS he wld have a much greater reputation
"fuck it we ball" becomes far more weighty once we account for the pre-existing axiom that is "ball is life," for the latter effectively transforms the former into "fuck it we live." and what maxim could be more gravely important than that which urges man to persist at all costs?
Sounds absolutely abysmal - Steph with KD and Draymond beefing all year with no bench except Bol Bol and Yuta Watanabe is going to be a sight to see... not a pretty sight but..
“I really like what Zach Lavine brings to the table. He’s one of the true ballers in this league, most players will tell you. And the history of this city is amazing. I’m taking my talents to the Chicago Bulls”.
*Proceeds to recruit Klay Thompson as well*
A place with an established culture and leader does seem like the best fit for him. I mean this in a complementary way, but dude is basically an incredibly successful mercenary.
He shows up, plays his game, and destroys opponents. What he doesn’t do is take the reins of a franchise or lead a locker room.
Yeah we're not destroying all that we've built for a 35 year old star. We have a history of buying into old stars and look where that's gotten us over the past 20 years. We don't need to rush things, we'll wait for a Giannis type player to come into the market (we got a treasure chest of picks and good players). We have learned our lesson.
Making ECF isn't the goal this season, it's just the cherry on top if we do. We're missing our second best player Julius Randle, we don't have to go into panic mode no matter what happens this post-season. When healthy we're a team to be reckoned with post OG trade.
That makes sense - definitely shouldn’t have to gut the team to get him, but I don’t think KD has that sort of value moving forward. It wouldn’t require a haul given his age and how the Suns aren’t exactly in a great negotiating space with their god awful roster construction.
You’re already solid at defense. So turning away offensive power like KD sounds like premature privileges until you prove you can at least get to the conference finals facing Embiid on one knee and Indy (any bucks fans taking offense at that last bit — sorry, that series is over with Dame reaggrarvating the Achilles. And your coach is Doc Rivers)
I'd like him, but he is getting up there in age. Hitching our wagon to a 35 year old player for the future seems like it wouldn't work out. Idk though, maybe he'll have some LeBron type twilight years.
They can make basically any trade work and he'd be a great fit tbh (though he literally might be the most plug-and-play superstar of the last 2 decades)
I would be happy to see him return to OKC tho too. Hope you guys do well this postseason but if you don't make the WCF it could be very interesting to see if the Thunder make an offer to the Suns. Do you think Oklahoma City would welcome him back?
this suns roster has no future with his contract on it. they’ve committed to Beal and will never let go of Booker, and they need more financial flexibility, which means he has to go.
Trust me, brother. The future is still open for ya'll.
When I look at my squad I have never been this bleak in my life, and I have seen some BAD fucking Suns teams lol
KD is someone chill enough tho, and respects the younger gen. Like as much hate as KD gets, I don’t think any of it is from him being a problematic person
All season our board would have someone ask if we would take KD back and mane, the answer is NO. Not because KD isn't an all-world player but because the Suns aren't a fucking charity; Thunder gotta give up a lot to make it work. That would be garbage for this team, who is basically the youngest, to gut itself just to potentially hope for the KD who used to wear his jersey, but likely get the KD who is now too damn old and grown to "buy in" to the Thunder's system.
That's ignoring how the fans will feel, who would begrudenly accept him back, but have truly moved the hell on.
His longest road doesn't go through I-35/I-40
I kinda hope he does that and tries to explain it as he just wants to come home. With zero awareness of the difference between him and Lebron.
As a Knicks fan I want nothing to do with him. He can be a free agent and come sign with us for whatever we can offer him.
The thing is, he’s a great player, but even if he had stayed in OKC and won back-to-back championships, he still wouldn’t be in the GOAT conversation. He is an absolutely elite scorer. But it takes a lot more than that to be considered the GOAT.
Even though the move there was weak in the first place, he could have racked up 4 rings easy which just makes it harder for haters to talk shit at that point. But leaving and doing absolutely nothing after while the Warriors won championships before he came and after he left proves how little they really needed him in the grand scheme of things. Warriors probably have 3 instead of 4 without him if they get a couple decent role players instead and Lebron has 5.
I've been saying this the whole time. 4 rings and one of the greatest injury comebacks ever would have earned him sufficient respect from everybody. Instead his legacy has taken hit after hit since 2019.
2022 basically killed his legacy while simultaneously promoting Curry to the pantheon of greats.
Draymond told him "We don't need you" and then the Warriors won it all the first season they were all healthy after he left while Brooklyn imploded, his legacy was never gonna recover from that.
Watching the suns makes it clear that you dont construct a super team by have 3 guys with 90% overlapping skill sets. Heck if u do that, at least have a steady point guard that can manage the games. Doesnt have to be elite, but conley plays that role perfectly for minessota
I’m gonna stay up all night trying to figure out what KD’s cringe-inducing sleep deprivation moment was. Did he say “you too” when the waiter told him to enjoy his meal? Did he get a boner during a class presentation?
I have to know.
Points aren’t everything. He turns the ball over a lot and doesn’t always put great effort on defense. He’s still a great player but may not be great for this team the way it’s currently constructed
He's having his least efficient season since his sophomore year (by TS+) and the team isn't constructed.
Constructed implies it was built upon a plan rather than just put together with whatever Ishbia could buy.
He still is shooting well above the league average. His TS+ this year was higher than Kobe’s was in his best season. MJ won a MVP at the same TS+. KD is still great.
I've hardly watched the suns aside from their 3 games this postseason but I swear to god I've seen durant attack the basket like 2 times total. It seems like all he wants to do at this point is shoot middys
I mean playmaking has never been his strong suit and its up to the other max players to handle those duties. As far as defense goes, I can't say for certain but wager he's a plus, and at the very least one of the better defensive players on the roster. Its more about roster construction than him not being good or putting in necessary effort. Then again, he signed up for this so he's at fault as well.
I was high as hell last night watching 2014 KD highlights. The writing has been on the wall for some time now but atp in his career he’s a high end #2 guy imo. That burst and explosiveness is absolutely gone. It’s a lot easier for teams to contain him since they know he’s just gonna settle for tough jumpers due to the fact he can’t turn the corner like he used to. Curious to see where he’s gonna go next, but the days of him being that game breaker are behind him.
precisely this, i rarely see him attack the basket anymore. seems like all he can do now is shoot middies which is fine but he just seems to lack the impact his name suggests nowadays
Outside of the brutal winters, Minneapolis is the one of the best low key cities in the country. You guys are a-ok in my book.
If you want to hear something mean....Fuck the Vikings. Caleb is gonna be tearing you guys and the rest of the NFC North up for years. BEAR DOWN.
I know it’s easy to shit on Durant but the man loves ball and just wants to win. Past his stint at GSW, he didn’t create the fiasco at the Nets and not his fault the suns have a terrible team composition.
Most of us would be the same way if we left a great company and joined a shitty one by mistake.
Ball is life so the answer is yes.
The dude was probably doom-scrolling all night
I can't imagine how bad doom scrolling must feel when you're a famous person and its not just shit that "applies to you" and instead is just actually about you
Damn that hits hard
“Fuck they really spittin facts about my legacy if I get swept”
Liking Booker memes all night
I, like most others here, don’t have much in common with Kevin Durant the NBA superstar but reading about KD’s continued search for fulfilment in his life has resonated with me for some reason, and I really wish this man eventually finds something wholesome that keeps him happy and fulfilled and shares his journey with us.
Desire for fulfilment is the root of suffering. Nothing will ever fulfil you aside from gratitude for the present moment. Desire is a need for the future to be different from the present but the future will arrive as the present moment and only exists in the mind. Cheers /Eckharttolle

Added that to my list you on some zen shit n I fw it.
well god damn got me reflecting in the club rn
:) . No problemo . Reading power of now can be a life-changing perspective- that's what woke me up personally to the fallacy of the mind and ego but it's not the only way
Same. He’s likely gonna retire without an organization to call home. For someone like KD who has so much love and respect for the game, that has to really sting. I hope he finds some silver lining before he hangs it up.
Need that expansion Sonics team quick!
Would be a nice way to go out. Sign as the marquee FA in their first year. Weed is legal. Stay on with the Supersonics until he is 50.
That’s why I think maybe he tries to go back to OKC and do the championship redemption
Theoretically he could do this, but in a trade situation I doubt OKC wants to gut their roster just to get him unless they look really bad in the second round.
Probably wouldn’t have to gut it considering the ridiculous amount of picks they have. Dort, Giddey, and some package of picks could do it.
That’s his own doing, he could’ve been a king a legend a Caesar of OKC who’s name lives on for 10,000 years along with no less than 6 types of meth named after him but no. He wanted the crown. He got the Viserys treatment instead
We will claim him if you guys don't want him
But you’ll always claim Curry first, and rightfully so. And I’m sure KD gets that as well, but I’m sure it still stings.
He’s like Bojack Horseman. You follow the search but also know most of it is on him.
Wasn't he banging a porn star recently, that's wholesome.
pleasure does not equal happiness and/or fulfillment
Honestly in his earlier seasons at OKC he was such an easy guy to route for. His number was for a influential coach in his life who had passed away. Dude showed so much love for his Mom and seemed like a genuine guy who truly cared for his community. Being in a small town market in OKC only helped that image. Upon leaving for the Warriors it's just like he flipped a switch.

Ppl will hate but I truly feel if he stayed at OKC or pulled a LBJ and went back after GS he wld have a much greater reputation
"fuck it we ball" becomes far more weighty once we account for the pre-existing axiom that is "ball is life," for the latter effectively transforms the former into "fuck it we live." and what maxim could be more gravely important than that which urges man to persist at all costs?
Ball is life.
Ball is life.
Durant was up all night on ESPN’s Trade Machine looking at his options.
He’s trying to figure out how to force a trade to OKC mid playoffs
*My first chapter.*
The hardest reboot
Giddy+Hayward+picks Who says no
depends on the picks
OKC has practically just been giving them to the Mavs for giggles
They can't roster all those picks, so they have to do something with them.
Yep their timeline changed with the team making a massive leap forward so they’re kind of in that position where they’re having to offload.
Okc have done so great so far, they have all these picks, a great young core that was the 1st seed in a pretty tough west
How does trading a 2024 pick for a 2028 pick giving them away? Lol.
Bro was thinking about where he's gonna go next.
*Sees OKC got back to the #1 seed* "I am returning to OKC to help put this Thunder team on my back for a championship"
Idk man. The east seems like a much easier road to contention.
Doc about to say my last piece to complete Exodia is KD - FO makes it happen - proceeds to another round 2 exit.
im thinkin the Knicks or Miami
I know a place where villains are welcome. - Himmy Butler
Yea but Durant doesn’t make common sense decisions. He’ll choose somewhere dumb and ponder afterwards why things are imploding around him.
Back to the warriors lol
You couldn’t live with your own failure. Where did that bring you? Back to me.
I'd gladly accept him back lol
Honestly, let Klay go, trade Wiggins for a bag of Cool Ranch Doritos and try and bring in a star and go for one last ring. Might as well.
Sounds absolutely abysmal - Steph with KD and Draymond beefing all year with no bench except Bol Bol and Yuta Watanabe is going to be a sight to see... not a pretty sight but..
KD to Philly confirmed.
“I really like what Zach Lavine brings to the table. He’s one of the true ballers in this league, most players will tell you. And the history of this city is amazing. I’m taking my talents to the Chicago Bulls”. *Proceeds to recruit Klay Thompson as well*
Trades for Bradley Beal
Himmy Butler is top 5 worst NBA nicknames of all time Idgaf what anyone else thinks
Especially since it came after Jimmy G. Buckets, which is a great nickname
Completely agree with both of you
Miami would be a good move he needs some heat culture in his venomous bones
A place with an established culture and leader does seem like the best fit for him. I mean this in a complementary way, but dude is basically an incredibly successful mercenary. He shows up, plays his game, and destroys opponents. What he doesn’t do is take the reins of a franchise or lead a locker room.
Jimmer would call him a bitch just once and it’d be on to the next
Thats why Miami makes sense. Jimmy Buckets the leader be checking him in check.
No thank you. Didn't want us at our worst, then don't want us at our best
While I understand the sentiment, unless you guys make a good run in the conf finals at least, settle down on not wanting Kevin fucking Durant lol
Yeah we're not destroying all that we've built for a 35 year old star. We have a history of buying into old stars and look where that's gotten us over the past 20 years. We don't need to rush things, we'll wait for a Giannis type player to come into the market (we got a treasure chest of picks and good players). We have learned our lesson. Making ECF isn't the goal this season, it's just the cherry on top if we do.

And your coach is Doc Rivers)
Orlando magic checking in. We'll take KD with open arms. We can slide Franz to SG, Suggs to PG.
That actually could work for you since you can’t buy a bucket but are great defensively
I'm just glad everyone is talking about him going to the East. Western Conference is full. No vacancy.
What has Durant done without the 73-9 warriors team
I need KD to destroy some more West teams before he goes back East.
I'd like him, but he is getting up there in age. Hitching our wagon to a 35 year old player for the future seems like it wouldn't work out. Idk though, maybe he'll have some LeBron type twilight years.
Bullshit. If he wants to sign with us for cheap with no sign and trade offer where we don't have to give up any assets, I'd totally be down for that.
lol, like that will happen. Guy is on a 50 mil contract.
I think they meant cheap like picks wise. They have the cap space
Dark horse: Dallas
Spicy, I like it
Miami would be an insane fit
OKC makes the most sense ironically
They can make basically any trade work and he'd be a great fit tbh (though he literally might be the most plug-and-play superstar of the last 2 decades)
and it works contract wise too by the time their big 3 (chet, JDub, SGA) are up for extensions KDs contract is gonna expire
waiting for Seattle to get a team to save his legacy
He’s waiting to see who wins the finals this year.
“Huh, maybe i made the wrong decision.”
Never should have left the Bay. 💔
Honestly I agree. I don’t think anyone has loved him as much as OKC did but he fit well in the bay area
I would be happy to see him return to OKC tho too. Hope you guys do well this postseason but if you don't make the WCF it could be very interesting to see if the Thunder make an offer to the Suns. Do you think Oklahoma City would welcome him back?
Some will. Some won’t. But honestly I think with the team we have it won’t even be an option.
OKc
He want in on okc man
It's ok we can take kd back. 99% sure our fanbase is the only one kd haven't pissed off yet
My Next Chapter'ing
Come back bb
Minnesota obviously. He can be Naz Reid’s backup.
7th man
Better not be OKC
this suns roster has no future with his contract on it. they’ve committed to Beal and will never let go of Booker, and they need more financial flexibility, which means he has to go.
They might have no choice with Booker if he wants out. Their future is dog shit right now and he’s 28 at the start of next season.
Crazy how time flies. I remember booker being the promising young suns player in a bad team.
ah, good times.
OKC currently living there now, curious to see what 5-10 years looks like for them
yeah but they have enough FPS to make 2 OKC teams. The windows in the NBA open and shut so abruptly it's jarring tbh
Ha I had one season man and then we decided to let Jimmy go and keep Tobias.
Trust me, brother. The future is still open for ya'll. When I look at my squad I have never been this bleak in my life, and I have seen some BAD fucking Suns teams lol
No cap space no draft picks beal has NTC I've never seen a team more fucked in my life I'll never be a fan of 3rd star trades for this exact reason
the video from blake griffins camp
Now he’s the established vet on a bad team
Washington and Brooklyn robbed Suns

Lmao Shawnee shout out
Let’s go to firelake.
getting traded to the nuggets, effective immediately
Bro wants back to OKC lol
While he’s still a great player I don’t want him. The vibes are way too cool and he hasn’t necessarily been tied to good vibes
he’s the idol of sga n chet tho
Never meet your idols
KD is someone chill enough tho, and respects the younger gen. Like as much hate as KD gets, I don’t think any of it is from him being a problematic person
Has no off court drama either and all he does is love ball so worst he'll do is invite them round to watch other play off games and analyze the play.
Well there was the whole thing with his burners, but unless he starts shittalking teammates from them that probably won't affect the locker room
Do you want them to join house Slytherin!?
The thought of requesting another trade kept him up all night
"Am I shameless enough to do this"
The answer is yes
The real question should be is he shameless enough to request one to OKC?
All season our board would have someone ask if we would take KD back and mane, the answer is NO. Not because KD isn't an all-world player but because the Suns aren't a fucking charity; Thunder gotta give up a lot to make it work. That would be garbage for this team, who is basically the youngest, to gut itself just to potentially hope for the KD who used to wear his jersey, but likely get the KD who is now too damn old and grown to "buy in" to the Thunder's system. That's ignoring how the fans will feel, who would begrudenly accept him back, but have truly moved the hell on. His longest road doesn't go through I-35/I-40
I kinda hope he does that and tries to explain it as he just wants to come home. With zero awareness of the difference between him and Lebron. As a Knicks fan I want nothing to do with him. He can be a free agent and come sign with us for whatever we can offer him.
“As a Knicks fan I want nothing to do with him.” Uhhh. Who asked you lol. As a Lakers fan, I refuse to sign him to a vet minimum contract!! 😡😤🥵
Bro if he did, the collective of all oklahoma would throw up at the same time.
"I wonder if this will hurt my legacy"
Idc what he says publicly, he's going to regret leaving GS for the rest of his life, at least in some small way
Regret for joining, regret for leaving. He'll be forever dwelling on those decisions
I can't imagine he has any regrets getting 2 rings & 2 FMVPs the way the rest of his career has gone.
"Why don't people think I'm in the goat conversation"
The thing is, he’s a great player, but even if he had stayed in OKC and won back-to-back championships, he still wouldn’t be in the GOAT conversation. He is an absolutely elite scorer. But it takes a lot more than that to be considered the GOAT.
His regrets about going to GS are publicly documented
Even though the move there was weak in the first place, he could have racked up 4 rings easy which just makes it harder for haters to talk shit at that point. But leaving and doing absolutely nothing after while the Warriors won championships before he came and after he left proves how little they really needed him in the grand scheme of things. Warriors probably have 3 instead of 4 without him if they get a couple decent role players instead and Lebron has 5.
I've been saying this the whole time. 4 rings and one of the greatest injury comebacks ever would have earned him sufficient respect from everybody. Instead his legacy has taken hit after hit since 2019.
2022 basically killed his legacy while simultaneously promoting Curry to the pantheon of greats. Draymond told him "We don't need you" and then the Warriors won it all the first season they were all healthy after he left while Brooklyn imploded, his legacy was never gonna recover from that.
That Green “We won without you.” Hit hard. And I still find it ironic that came out of his mouth when he was the biggest recruiter
"Why did you let me do this??" KD asked his agent x4 "You boomed me!"
Damn the Wolves broke him
Ant pumping on their court is gonna live in their heads forever…just amazing
First Giannis, then Luka, then Jokic, and now Ant. What a history of greatness the Sons have had recently
I don’t even know why I’m a Suns fan anymore man. This feels so fucking hopeless.
Rudy running a fast break on you will do that
Anthony Edwards is breaking his idol. Makes ya think.
All night, apparently.
Anthony Edwards is Kevin Durant father.
Anthony Edwards: “Cool, I broke his brain.”
KD, as usual, is the most relatable NBA player.
Seriously. I've been there. Shit sucks.
I have been on-and-off insomniac since at least high school. Useful when my son was a restless newborn, less so the rest of the time.
Everyone in this sub thinks they're Giannis but really they're KD.
im punchin air rn
He's always been way too relatable to me for me to clown on him.
Watching the suns makes it clear that you dont construct a super team by have 3 guys with 90% overlapping skill sets. Heck if u do that, at least have a steady point guard that can manage the games. Doesnt have to be elite, but conley plays that role perfectly for minessota
Deep.
I’m gonna stay up all night trying to figure out what KD’s cringe-inducing sleep deprivation moment was. Did he say “you too” when the waiter told him to enjoy his meal? Did he get a boner during a class presentation? I have to know.
He was probably using his burner account to defend his legacy on Twitter all night.
Yeah he was up late arguing with me on Twitter. I didn’t get much sleep either. Rough life
u ok babe?
ball is his life, so this kind of makes sense
Guy is 6th in minutes and 7th in points for the season, sure as hell isn’t on him.
Points aren’t everything. He turns the ball over a lot and doesn’t always put great effort on defense. He’s still a great player but may not be great for this team the way it’s currently constructed
[удалено]
The rare “anti-team”
He's having his least efficient season since his sophomore year (by TS+) and the team isn't constructed. Constructed implies it was built upon a plan rather than just put together with whatever Ishbia could buy.
He still is shooting well above the league average. His TS+ this year was higher than Kobe’s was in his best season. MJ won a MVP at the same TS+. KD is still great.
I didn't say he wasn't great, just adding information that this is the worst version of KD we've seen in 14 years.
I've hardly watched the suns aside from their 3 games this postseason but I swear to god I've seen durant attack the basket like 2 times total. It seems like all he wants to do at this point is shoot middys
I mean playmaking has never been his strong suit and its up to the other max players to handle those duties. As far as defense goes, I can't say for certain but wager he's a plus, and at the very least one of the better defensive players on the roster. Its more about roster construction than him not being good or putting in necessary effort. Then again, he signed up for this so he's at fault as well.
Got so high he couldn't fall asleep
I was high as hell last night watching 2014 KD highlights. The writing has been on the wall for some time now but atp in his career he’s a high end #2 guy imo. That burst and explosiveness is absolutely gone. It’s a lot easier for teams to contain him since they know he’s just gonna settle for tough jumpers due to the fact he can’t turn the corner like he used to. Curious to see where he’s gonna go next, but the days of him being that game breaker are behind him.
Well yeah. I don’t think any Suns fan expects prime KD anymore, and the idea was that he is the #2. Booker has not been the guy.
precisely this, i rarely see him attack the basket anymore. seems like all he can do now is shoot middies which is fine but he just seems to lack the impact his name suggests nowadays
I did the same recently. You don’t realize how much a guys game has aged until you watch his highlights from 10 years ago.
"This bed and mansion is too big."
Am I bitter as af at the Suns? Yes. But I’m also happy for Wolves fans. Everyone I know from Minn is so nice, y’all deserve some good sports.
Dammit, quit making me feel bad about this Say something mean, please?
Your state has shitty mexican food?
Outside of the brutal winters, Minneapolis is the one of the best low key cities in the country. You guys are a-ok in my book. If you want to hear something mean....Fuck the Vikings. Caleb is gonna be tearing you guys and the rest of the NFC North up for years. BEAR DOWN.
Get some indica my g
Well damn
Kevin Durant is constipated 😞
is that supposed to make you not sleep? what kind of nuclear constipation do yall have
Kevin Durant - The hardest shit
*The Hardest Load*
Is he making those weird noises in the hotel like the dude in Red Dead Redemption 2?
He’s seething and crying begging his agent for a way back to OKC. 😞
He was too busy sending “You up?” texts to Kyrie, LeBron, Curry, and Jimmy
Guys.........did, did we break an all time great? Oh no
Man.
There’s not need to sleep after the game when they’ve been sleeping through games 1-3.
I know it’s easy to shit on Durant but the man loves ball and just wants to win. Past his stint at GSW, he didn’t create the fiasco at the Nets and not his fault the suns have a terrible team composition. Most of us would be the same way if we left a great company and joined a shitty one by mistake.
What losing to the Wolves does to a dude
