NBA players are spoiled and entitled. It is what it is. At least Durant played out his contacts, unlike two of the players mentioned.
Odd that you'd take Leonard over "no heart Durant" when Leonard quit on the Spurs last season and then demanded a trade.
@Alzarius knows.
That’s not true at all, anyone in sports knows that the Spurs run things differently and clearly put the player before meaningless stats. The spurs tried their best to protect Kawhi, his uncle got involved and it turned into a catastrophe. Nobody has ever been “wronged” by the spurs and Kawhi flat out blew that franchise up.leonard sat out for the same reason KD should of sat out. these franchies don't care about you long-term, so why should you risk your short term for them when you've proven yourself.

Contract disputes are almost never about money in the NBA. They want to go play in cities whose economies won't be affected in the slightest by their presence.yeah, its not like they work their whole lives to reach a certain level, and then when they get to that level they demand to earn what theyve sacrificed their whole life for. and on top of that most superstars are worth 20x more than their contract allows them to receive solely based on the overall boost to the cities economy. but yeah "spoiled and entitled" could surely be the word you want to use if you've never worked hard for anything in your life.

He was diagnosed with quadriceps tendinopathy and his treatment was rest. He overworked the previous summer after experiencing the same pain the previous year, and the spurs tried to back his activity down.i don't disagree that his uncle getting involved made things much worse. but i also remember the spurs medical staff cleared him while his own personal doctors said he wasn't ready yet. i believe without his uncle being involved he would of just missed the whole year and came back next year with the spurs.

NO heart? Clearly you have never watched him play.
Yes.
Yes, I'll take those guys ahead of no heart Durant even prior to the injury. I am insane, I am a titans fan *when my favorite college player gets drafted there
Lol how come ?I will be very honest about this, I have pure hatred for Durant so my view is very blinded and skewed! He's a POS in my opinion. I know it doesn't matter and minimal in the big picture but this is just an example of how much I dislike him and Oregon State University. I have access to Nike employee store and 50% discount on everything, whenever someone asks me to hook them up with KD shoes etc or Oregon State gear I refuse to buy it just to make sure the said products don't sell! Yes, I know its ridiculous and I fully admit it. Ok, back to my Friday day drinking and yard work LOL.
Too much to write about but maybe next fall we can sit down and drink bourbon and discuss when I head to Nashville for a game.Lol how come ?
To be fair... Mariota played with nagging injuries all last season.We love when players play injured in big games as a society.
Kirk Gibson homerun
Michael Jordan flu game
Tiger Woods countless injuries
The legends play in big time situations and don’t worry about their health. Risk is part of the game. What would we be saying if KD and Klay Thompson played hurt and led the Warriors back to another chip?
Durant and Klay Thompson have heart and play for the team.
Mariota is not willing to risk it and that's why no one will remember him and he will never reach the legacy of these types of players.
That and he plays like crap when he is hurt. It is just an excuse for his bad play. If Jordan went out and scored 7 points 2 assists with 6 turnovers no one would care about the flu game.Nah. The reason he will never reach that level of legacy is that he doesn't play all that well when he isn't hurt, and hasn't sniffed a championship.
It amazes me how many people defend Mary and his “injuries”. If he’s injured that often, he shouldn’t be starting games.
