When people would ask Deion Sanders about the art of tackling, Prime would always say that he would make “business decisions” in regard to how hard he wanted to attempt to make the tackle.
For the record, Kevin Durant said he was “pushed” out of the way, but the video shows that KD was making a “business decision”.
Can you blame him?
Blake Griffin had already taken Kendrick Perkins’ soul, if he did the same with KD, the coverage would have even been more over the top than it is now.
So I think KD made the right choice to get the hell out of there.
