What exactly did Kevin Durant believe was going to happen when he signed with Warriors?
Steph, Klay, Draymond and hell even Mo Speights had relationships with those fans and media before he got there. Ethan Strauss of HoopsHype has written a book ‘The Victory Machine: The Making and Unmaking of the Warriors Dynasty,’. We already reported on how KD was jealous of Steph, now here is how he was jealous of Klay and Mo Speights.
Here is KD upset that media isn’t writing about Klay skipping out on the locker room early.
“You guys gonna write about that? You’re not, are you, because anything Klay does is okay because it’s Klay. But anything I do is not okay because I’m Kevin Durant.’ That wasn’t the only time he complained about how Klay was treated..he felt Klay got a free pass for everything,” Durant said.
“When former Warriors bench scorer Marreese Speights returned to Oracle Arena, he got a hearty ovation from the crowd…“KD—who once complained to a Warriors fan account over Twitter DM that Speights was among the players more accepted by Warriors fans than he—was not pleased.
After the blowout Warriors win that followed, as he waited to take the podium stage, Durant was fixated on a TV that hung from the wall. Speights was with the local TV guys, yukking it up. “Mo Buckets,” Durant loudly groused, shaking his head. “How can you call yourself ‘Mo Buckets’ when you never averaged twenty points a game.”
KD probably still won’t be beloved with Nets, but hopefully, he is happier.
