That special he did, the decision show, made a lot of money, all of which he gave to a foundation he supports. As far as the wording he used about bringing his talents to south beach, yeah that wasnt smart, but that doesnt make him a villain or anything. And yeah he also looked stupid when he said they would win not 1, not 2, not 3, etc... championships, but whatever, he isnt the brightest guy in the world, but he's not a bad guy either.
He does have a pretty mild ego for someone as good as he is and for how much attention he gets. He's been pretty normal for the most part. He even took a Cavs team to the FInals that had no business being within a sniff of it. That was all him on a very mediocre team. How many players have ever done that before? Having a little ego isnt the worst thing in the world. He's certainly no Ron Artest which is a good thing. He doesnt talk much shit during games or celebrate too much, or give himself all the credit. He never does that.
- Hes been branded as the villain. This is obviously to help drive story lines and keep people talking, to keep the NBA relevant.desmo
- relevant. Why is Durant 'the good guy'? Makes for a great Finals match up.desmo
- Durant is the Good Guy because hes humble, and he stayed with the team that drafted him, even when he had the chance to jump ship. He stayed the course, how can you not respect that?Al_dizzle
- the chance to jump ship. He didn't. He showed class and loyalty... so yeah hes the good guy.Al_dizzle
