Liked KD during his early years, but don't like watching him now (even before the warriors move). Yes he's extremely good, but agile, good-shooting big men are hardly a new thing in the league. He's just not that fun to watch to me. Oh yeah, I can't STAND his pre-FT shoulder shimmer...ugh. And can someone inform espn and tnt commentators that he is not a 7-footer?
He's as much a 7-footer as most NBA centers are. https://www.slamonline.com/nba/kevin-durant-finally-admits-hes-7-feet-tall/

Here's the thing y'all, and why we shouldn't give a fuck about Durant being a douche. Some of the All time and current greats are douches. Great players and scrubs alike. I think LOTS of these pampered MFs are douches: Jordan (Major douche) Kobe (extreme douchiness. Yes that's a word now) Wilt Chamberlain (literal douche had sex with over 25k) James Harden is a FUCKING DOUCHE Klay Thompson is a little douchey Westbrook is a straight douche Chris Paul is a whiny little DOUCHE That Texas Turncoat is an insecure DOUCHE Meyers Leonard is a Douchey chode Boogie is a fucking douche Draymond...... Blake Griffin... I woulda punched that MF SQUARE in his nuts... Barkley... Rick Barry is a fucking douche.. Shaq is a goddamn douche.... I really could go on...
This is all true, I think it’s the social media age KD’s douchiness is in our face a lot. Ultimately though glad we have Dame, seems like a great guy.
In the article I linked, he said he's 6'10 3/4 barefoot. That's half an inch taller than Zach Collins' pre-draft measurement. Equal to Steven Adams and Kelly Olynyk. Half inch more than Nikola Vucevic. If those guys are all 7 footers (which is how they're listed, so is Durant.
