00:00Kevin Durant was once the second overall pick for the Oklahoma City Thunder in the NBA draft.
00:05Technically the Sonics, but you know the deal.
00:07And a story you may have heard about since he left OKC after eight seasons to join another franchise, the
00:13Golden State Warriors.
00:15So I didn't have no relationship with nobody on the Warriors.
00:18We weren't like friends, like people like, you hooked up with your friends.
00:21Like, I didn't, I didn't, I never hung out with Draymond.
00:24Like, that wasn't my boy.
00:25Right.
00:26Steph, we never hung out.
00:27Or Clay, I met them once I got there.
00:29But it wasn't like, let me call my boys up and let me go hang out with my boys.
00:34No, I've seen that's a great team that wants to win, a fun environment, great city.
00:41Oakland is like D.C.
00:43Yeah.
00:44Yeah.
00:45It felt like I was riding through Southeast when I was in.
00:47Absolutely.
00:48Absolutely.
00:50The fan base, the organization, never been a winning organization.
00:55When I was in the league, nobody liked Golden State.
00:58So it was like, it felt like a, still like an underdog to me.
01:00Cause I'm looking at it as, I'm looking at the totality of your, of the franchise.
01:05I ain't looking at what happened in this last five years.
01:07Right.
01:08Like you never been a, a, a, a perennial winner in the, you know what I'm saying?
01:12Absolutely.
01:12In the NBA from the fifties on up.
01:15So I'm like, damn, this is an underdog franchise to me.
01:18This feel, this feel good.
01:19Like shit.
01:20This feel like where I'm supposed to be.
01:21It ain't LA.
01:22It ain't New York.
01:22It feel like where I'm supposed to be.
01:25Why is it that Kevin Durant is his own worst enemy?
01:29It drives me crazy.
01:31I always and forever did defend, will defend Kevin Durant from going from OKC to Golden
01:39State.
01:39Always.
01:40And he was not someone who was sitting at the back of the bus, as our friend Charles
01:44Barkley said about Durant.
01:46He was driving the bus.
01:47He was the best player on the Golden State Warriors.
01:50Not Steph Curry.
01:52He was.
01:53A couple of finals MVPs.
01:54Won championships.
01:56Plural.
01:57No asterisk.
01:58I looked it up before the show.
01:59He is an all-time great.
02:02But he's also, when it comes to hurting himself, comments like this.
02:07He viewed the Warriors as an underdog?
02:11Come on.
02:13Stop talking.
02:14This was a team that won a championship a couple of years before.
02:17Won 70-plus games and lost to Cleveland.
02:21You were viewed as the guy who's going to all of a sudden turn him into the Monstars.
02:25You can't say underdog.
02:28That's how people, at the end of the day, look at Kevin Durant and start yelling and screaming.
02:34He should have never said that.
02:36He should have never started fighting with people on social media.
02:39He should have never left Golden State.
02:41Then go to Brooklyn because he's listening to too many people about whether or not he actually won a championship.
02:48Kevin, look, you have the Larry O'Brien trophy.
02:52Just stop recreating history.
02:55Stop talking.
02:56They weren't underdogs.
02:58They were juggernauts.
03:00Just stop.
03:01Let your body of work and the resume do the talking.
03:05Enough.
03:06Underdog?
03:08Why can't Kevin Durant help himself?
03:11They just won 73 games.
03:14They weren't an underdog.
03:15Does he even know what underdog means?
