Can Durant handle the kind of backlash LeBron received when he left CLE?

[Draz]

I doubt it. LeBron managed pretty dam good.

We have enough Lebron threads, but I'd say no.


I have a feeling that the weight of the pressure will be telling at some point.


One team is goign to press the warriors closely and Durant may not handle it.

He will not receive that level of backlash. So he doesn't have to worry about that.

[Lebron23]

No

But Durant needs to stop thinking about his brand. And embrace being the villain.

He just needs to concentrate playing basketball, and stop comparing himself to LeBron.

There won't be backlash. Nobody actually cares about Kevin Durant.

Yeah I somehow believe the media will go soft touch on kd the same way they did with curry. These guys don't live with goat expectations.....

No because he's not a complete ass like this little d!ck bitch

People don't care enough about Durant to carry the outrage all year. It will die down eventually. He will be clowned relentlessly though when they don't win any rings.

He needs to inject plenty of testosterone on his body if he wants to win an NBA title.

Dude is softer than a Marshmallow. At least Karl Malone in the 1990's tried to win an NBA title with the Jazz, and he ring chased when he turned 40.

Durant is a bigger dick than LeBron. At least LeBron ain't a fake, phony, humble guy.

Durant is also one of the biggest chokers in NBA history.
