Kevin Durant is someone who has taken a whole lot of criticism over the years. Much of this is due to the fact that he has never been shy to leave teams if they weren’t fitting the bill. Overall, he did it to the OKC Thunder. Additionally, he left the Golden State Warriors after realizing that he preferred to win on his own merits. Since then, he had been in Brooklyn where things weren’t always great for him. He had been having a rough go with Kyrie, and when Irving was traded, that certainly left a pretty bad taste in his mouth. After meeting with the Nets, it became clear that he needed to leave.
Subsequently, Durant was traded to the Phoenix Suns. Overall, this was a massive move that has shaken up the entire Western Conference. Now it seems as though the Phoenix Suns are going to be the favorites to win it all. Of course, that doesn’t necessarily mean they’re going to do it. However, with Kevin Durant on the roster, they certainly have a much better chance to do it. Regardless, with Durant leaving yet another team, there are questions being raised about how committed he is to sticking it out in one city.
Kevin Durant Vs. Big Perk
For instance, in a recent Instagram post, Kendrick Perkins accused KD and Kyrie of being shady. KD and Perk have a history and Durant didn’t stop himself from clapping back. As you can see above, KD wrote that Perkins is someone who gets paid to lie. Overall, it is quite the shot at Perkins, who is known for some wild hot takes over at ESPN. Needless to say, you can’t help but feel like KD is at least a little fed up with Perk and his schtick.
Moving forward, KD will have a chance to prove himself with his new team. He gets to play with Chris Paul and Devin Booker, so if he can’t win a championship, it’s going to be a bad look. Let us know what you think of the Perkins and KD beef, in the comments down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news from around the sports world.
