Durant - blandest personality ever?

[Prometheus]

No trolling, but honestly has there ever been a top-tier player with a more boring personality, with less charisma than Durant?

Shaq was quotable gold. Kobe is a hilariously shrewd wise-cracking smartass. LeBron is comedic and highly marketable with decent commercial acting skills. Jordan had magnetic charisma. Iverson and Barkley were controversial with their "take-no-shit" personalities.

Durant does an interview with Bill Simmonds and calls himself the servant :facepalm

Durant's most memorable commercial has him talking about doodle jump :facepalm

He can be pretty fun to watch when he's not deferring to Westbrook like a coward, but Durant's personality is so boring and cringe-worthy.

EDIT: He also has a weird-shaped head. It's important to mention that.

Tim Duncan

[NumberSix]

Durant has about a million times the personality of Derrick Rose

[alec613]

Tim Duncan

Nope, we all know he's a legit kind human

[Mass Debator]

Yeah, I actually prefer Timmy's style of blandness. It's actually natural and quite humorous.

He also doesn't have a weird-shaped head. It's like someone was trying to dig a trench across that dome.

[Doctor Jay]

I don't care about a players personality as long as he's lighting it up like KD this year

[Akrazotile]

OP why do you watch basketball?

To fall in love with a charismatic male athlete?

If so, please see yourself to the nearest mirror, and begin to ask yourself some of the tough personal questions you may have been avoiding until now.

:roll:

[kamil]

Anyone who's ever seen an interview with Derrick Rose will easily say its him. Dude is really REALLY monotone.

[Fudge]

Uhm, Derrick Rose doe?

[SilkkTheShocker]

Rose is the only one with a case. Durant will be marketed as the face of the NBA

[imdaman99]

It's pretty bland yeah. But that only matters in marketability.

Sure he is already really marketable because at worst he is the 2nd best player in the game, but imagine if he had Goatbrook's personality. Plus, they play for a small market team. Imagine if OKC Thunder were the NY Thunder...

To fall in love with a charismatic icon?

99% of my posts are purely about what happens on the court. There's nothing wrong with taking a moment here and there to discuss related topics.

That's not bland. It actually a sign of personality... just a different one. A focused, all-about-business mentality.

[DukeDelonte13]

I appreciate KD's humbleness.

Only simple minded people think that being a braggart is somehow a better personality trait.

I speak as a long time Bulls fan, but sorry, Rose has the most 'disinterested' personality I've ever seen from the NBA.

[Keno]

it's embarrassing to say the least. my grandpa has a better personality and is more entertaining to listen to than durant is. seriously, every time durant is being interviewed i mute the tv, so cringe worthy.

[Doctor Jay]

[KobesFinger]

D-Rose doesn't count, he has no personality

[Amar'e_Juwanna]

you already posted that, fool.

[KyrieTheFuture]

Rose hasn't been interviewed in like 2 and a half years I don't blame you for forgetting

[JerryWest]

Can you imagine Rose doing an energy drink commercial?

[Jailblazers7]

I think Durant probably has a very distrusting relationship with the media similar to Bird during his playing days. Just doesn't see the point of it and wants to keep things on the court.

I do think his on-court demeanor is lacking tho. He doesn't really exhibit the energy you would like from a leader. He has his moments where he gets intense but it doesn't happen often enough. It's one reason why Westbrook is so valuable because he really gets the team going with his energy and competitiveness. You can notice a difference on the court when Westbrook gets into one of his zones where it is just petal to the metal constantly.

Pedal, broseppi

[Trollsmasher]

OP is right

If somebody wonders why nobody in the world cares about anything Durant does and everybody is ready to jump back at the LeBron MVP bandwagon on the first possible opportunity, this is one of the reasons.

Durant becoming the face of NBA would be like random OKC hick becoming the president of USA.

[Jailblazers7]

Pedal, broseppi

Oops lol. That is one of those words that I just consistently get wrong for whatever reason. You can probably chalk it up to the phonetics in my area.

[JZ600]

Durant is a pleasure to watch but yes, dude is boring as fk

[Solefade]

He also doesn't have a weird-shaped head. It's like someone was trying to dig a trench across that dome.


also it's pretty funny to see what kind of outfits duncan is pulling out of the closet that day

[AintNoSunshine]

:wtf: are you talking about. KD's one of the funniest character in the league history. I mean, he freakin nicknamed himself the Servant out of all the possible nicknames, that sh1t's as funny as it get.

[Solefade]

Durant has about a million times the personality of Derrick Rose


1,000,000,000 x 0 = 0

[Eric Cartman]

Adam Morrison

[bdreason]

I couldn't care less about his personality... but he is a boring interview.

[leMVP]

Rose and it's not close.

KD dances and laughs, Have some pretty interviews.

Rose on other hand, just nothing there to show.

[All Net]

Who cares, you judge him for what he does on the basketball court.

[PsychoBe]

if durant could market himself better and do the whole throat-slashing debacle again (which i believe was harmless press) and start being a "bad-boy", you actually might find that he becomes a bit more likeable. everyone loves the "good guy gone bad" archetype, and believe it or not the difference between durant and bran in the mvp race is visibility. durant has to play out of his mind for months and drag his team to the best record in the nba in order to be appreciated, meanwhile bran has one good stretch and people are ready to give it to him already.

if everything durant did was put on that kind of pedestal it probably wouldn't be much of a contest, but that comes with marketability and visibility, which durant doesn't have much of.

maybe it's because he's in okc? who knows.

[Quickening]

Narrow minded view, basketball is about entertainment, and charismatic.people like LeBron and Kobe make it fun to watch... Having a personality on and off the court helps a lot.

[Prometheus]

Shaq was quotable gold. Kobe is a hilariously shrewd wise-cracking smartass. LeBron is comedic and highly marketable with decent commercial acting skills. Jordan had magnetic charisma. Iverson and Barkley were controversial with their "take-no-shit" personalities.

Bolded just to clarify for those of you mentioning Derrick Rose. inb4 you tell me he's on the level of the other players mentioned - he is not.

[BuffaloBill]

people who think timmy is bland don't know timmy very well

[lebeast666]

Top 2 weirdest personalities:

1. Rose
2. KD

Durant second as always.

I feel bad for LeBron, his competition is no fun

[SCdac]

people who think timmy is bland don't know timmy very well

...and you quickly realise Tim is one of the funnest guys in the league.

[tgan3]

Duncan- real humbleness

Durant- fake humbleness *Seriously, who goes out at gives himself
the nickname of The Servant when his archenemy is The King?*

[JohnFreeman]

Rose and Durant are the worst
