You can't ask a player like Kevin Durant to change his style of play to accommodate an injury

Saying that [Durant] should change his game to fit the injury that he's coming off of... It is bullshit. It's like you don't tell a guy to completely change what they're doing and become like Klay Thompson if you're Kevin Durant. Only catch and shoot. Don't try to create anything off the dribble. Like you don't tell a lion, okay, only chase down a wildebeest if it's making a left.

Teams will still give Kevin Durant a max contract despite his Achilles injury

Teams are, I think it was Skip Bayless actually that was saying, are teams really going to want to pay for Kevin Durant? Let me stop you right now, Skip. Yeah, they're going to. Shut up, Knicks fans. You're still going to pay for Kevin Durant. He's still going to be awesome when he comes back.

Prediction Basketball Medium

The Brooklyn Nets signed Kevin Durant to a four-year, $164 million max contract on June 30, 2019, just weeks after this injury.

The Achilles injury should be renamed the 'Kobe Heel'

We need to rebrand the Achilles injury. We named it after a dude that lost a war like 5,000 years ago. And we're still calling it the Achilles. It should be the Kobe heel.

Bob Myers' tears at the Kevin Durant press conference were 'guilty man' tears

I'm going to say it was more because he [Bob Myers] fucked up somehow. Yeah, those are the tears. And if he cries, those are the tears of a guilty man who's like, I need to be super emotional because I know that my medical staff fucked up by allowing him to go out there and now everyone would be like, oh, poor Bob Myers, he really cares.
