I Have Never Seen A Star Fail Repeatedly Like This
Westbrook Harden Curry clay Kyrie Hardon again Booker but even with them Kevin Durant has failed repeatedly like no other star has look at this possession instead of moving the ball around Durant takes it from Curry and go for a quick one I don’t think you’re going to do
It and takes a pullup three to win the game Durant no Warriors action just a pure Hooper the guy that’s going to Tween twe hesi pull up right all the way to losing basketball but okay what about when he’s got his own team Defenders who have
Skill that’s how you build up oh and the Suns damn they gave up 81 and a half of an elimination game embarrassing and now Durant is unhappy with the situation on these Suns despite forcing his way there just one season ago saying he’s unhappy with the son’s underwhelming supporing
Cast and Bradley Beal’s availability is this Deja Vu remember when Durant roasted his own starring lineup on the Nets saying what do you expect with suar O’Neal Harris and Claxton there’s no doubt that Durant is literally one of the best players in the world and has been one for the past decade however
When we start to look into Duran’s track record the issue has never been about his ability it’s about what he chose to do and as you’ll see in this video something has own teammates have called him out for he hasn’t been able to win in three healthy playoffs and it seems
Like for a lowkey guy who only cares about hooping there’s way too many problems about stuff that’s not hooping related you guys going to kiss or fight I have never seen a player that talented repeatedly fail like this so I’m going to go through the three key reasons why
Durant continues to fail even as the favor and why he’ll always be unhappy with whatever team he has unless he changes this one thing the crazy part is he could change it right now what is up dud death Ballers players it’s your boy MJ Durant got swept by the Celtics while
Shooting 39% from the field and getting locked up had on and several off games against nuggets last year why am I mentioning these two series because Durant was supposed to be a leader and that’s what he wanted but that’s also piece number one KD has failed to be a
True leader Durant has wanted people to acknowledge his greatness a huge part of why KD left Golden State moving on to another team the Nets would give him the perfect opportunity to prove that he could lead his team as the definitive number one option because clearly he had
Never proven what another guy his position kawhai proved the very same season by Leading Toronto to a championship as the solo Superstar on his team and oh yeah LeBron did pretty much in his entire career this is all why kawhai was labeled as the best player in the world in 2019 kawhai being
Called the best in the NBA is exactly the kind of respect kdes wanted his entire career in fact even Steve cerr said I think Kevin wants to be recognized as the best player in the world and remember when KD said early in his career that he’s tired of always
Being number two and since that moment he he’s gotten pretty much everything he’s wanted his own franchise in the Nets that listen to anything he wanted a trade right after he signed a 4-year extension to the team he wanted but let’s look at the nets for just a second
Durant wanted to win his way have his own culture and fit in unlike what he felt with the Warriors and so he got to build his own team got to have his best friend Kyrie and have say in what players they would get like DeAndre Jordan bro and even gang Steve Nash as
Their coach the Nets would also make the trade for James Harden another one of Katie’s friends and Durant was excited but being that guy means that you have to leave through the ups and the Downs Kyrie’s absence through personal reasons covid and injuries in the 2021 playoffs
The Nets had their downs Durant’s Godly performance in the 2021 playoffs against the bucks when he dropped a 49 point triple double then 48 points in game seven just a beautiful finish and a big toe away from winning he turns he shoots yes boy Ain no way boy that was the main
Up everyone in the NBA world was praising KD even though the Nets didn’t win Durant was being called the best player in the world by some him or Giannis and that hype led to Durant signing a 4-year extension with the Nets everyone talks when they up right Luca
Everybody AC up when they up k was trying to prove these comments wrong if you ain’t driving the bus don’t walk around talk about you a champion if you riding the buzz I don’t want to hear it but more drama har would be unhappy with Direction Nets were going and having to
Play more minutes KD was frustrated with Steve Nash who literally said the only way a Nets could win was to have Durant play more and Kyrie was still out because of the vaccine they were still first in the conference but started falling when KD got hurt and Grant couldn’t necessarily keep the team
Together but honestly I don’t know if any player could Hardon demand a trade the Nets get Ben Simmons Seth Curry Andre drumman Kyrie comes back and Nets are now built in the way that Durant and Kyrie originally wanted and are in the playoffs healthy decent role players ready to take on whatever challenge
Comes next that’s terrible oh so his team didn’t work KD’s style of basketball wasn’t winning basketball basball no it wasn’t something the Warriors Knew Too and called out a few years ago which we’ll get into in piece number three yet still KD called out his critics last season saying I’m not a
Leader what the does that mean a lot of people say I’m not a leader because I didn’t tell Kyrie to get vaccinated or I didn’t condemn Kyrie for leaving the team going out and living his life I see your point Katie but that’s not why we’re getting on you instead Kitty’s
Legacy in Brooklyn can be best described by Goran drer let me make one thing Crystal Clear Goran dragic played all of 16 16 games in Brooklyn but that was enough time for even dragic to come out publicly questioning Kevin Durant and his lack of leadership in Brooklyn last
Season and said ktie was one of the guys on the team that cared only about stats draic really had enough with the BS so KD we aren’t questioning your leadership because of what you did tell or didn’t tell Kyrie we’re questioning your leadership because in 2022 KD would
Request a trade from the nets for the first time and eventually revealed a few months later in an interview that he request your trade because quote it wasn’t difficult at all to request a trade because it was all about ball I went to them and was like yo I don’t
Like how we’re preparing I don’t like shootarounds I like practice I need more making these statements public after signing a 4year extension is wild Kyrie also wanted to stay on the Nets but screw that right especially after all the problems with missing time promoting Amazon books look Katy knew what he was
Signing up for his decision and he still signed that extension in 2021 even after this IG live in my past life like I said I was you I was you I was you what you are now that’s what I’m up here again rather than deal with the consequences
Of all the decisions he made he decided to try again but every really great player has to prove prove that they can win a championship as the main guy Kobe had to win without Shaq LeBron had to be the main guy in Miami not Wade but
Durant left Curry to prove he could but hasn’t and that’s piece number two Durant wanted to win and be the top dog for KD those two goals need to be fulfilled simultaneously but which stars left Championship situations to go off on their own and then failed maybe a
Young Trac McGrady wanting to leave Vince car’s shadow but even then they weren’t winning championships Shaq left the Lakers but then won in Miami the closest I can think of is when Michael Jordan retired and the Bulls became Scotty’s team and the Bulls were actually still really good everyone was
Acknowledging just how good Pippen was without Jordan he won allstar game MVP getting the most out of the bus teammates led the league in First Team all NBA votes and First Team all defense votes he got them to the second round in an exciting seven game series Lost to
The Knicks we all now know how Pippen felt about Jordan during those runs selfish condescending there was a bitter rivalry but at the end of the day Pippen just wanted to win so when Jordan came back he did whatever he could but there was never a culture of star players
Leaving teams this often in their Prime until LeBron came along so entered Durant a league MVP a top three player for years one of the greatest scorers ever going to the 739 Warriors to win a championship with another MVP Steph Curry Durant won but wasn’t the undoubted top dog especially when teams
Would literally leave Durant wide open while he had the ball to cover Kirk he went sinet to be the man but still having Kyrie and Harden another MVP he was on a stack team perhaps the most talented offensive big three in NBA history he might not not
Really get that respect that Giannis or Kawai would for leading a team to a champion even his trade requests were to either the Suns or he two teams who had recently made the finals and more importantly had established cultures Durant was done with trying to make his
Own team but with both the Nets and Suns and even the Warriors we’ve seen the problem Durant can be the man on the team but only if he’s not allowed to use his play sty and that’s piece number three Durant needs to change what he thinks is winning basketball on the
Warriors Durant will get into these habits of getting the ball and isoing holding the ball for a while with absolutely no movement not running any Warriors action which is crazy if you know just how much they move without the ball Steve cerr would call Durant out on
It and they didn’t always see ey the eye heck during game five against the rockets in 2018 Steve Kerr literally tried to get the message through when MJ was with the bulls we had a playoff game and he kept he kept trying to score and he was scoring but we weren’t getting
Anything going Bill Jackson said who’s open they said John Paxton I want you to trust your teammates early early you’re what you’re doing is you’re getting to the rim and then you’re trying to hit him I want you to trust the first guy and then move KD style works as a closer
Works when the team is struggling and needs a bucket but it can’t be the backbone of a great team look at Kobe who had to learn to trust his teammates get them involved and pick and choose his moment to take over but if you never got those teammates involved our test
That’s a three bang then they don’t give more effort defensively they stagnate and are out of rhythm when you need them to hit big shots when you’re getting double we could look at the recent nugget Series where his team was favored to win the NBA title last year with plus
400 odds and had teammate in Devon Booker putting together a couple of games against Denver shooting nearly 80% from the floor and scoring in the high 40s but let’s go back even further to his OKC days when they were up 3-1 against the 2016 War KD and the Thunder
Had three chances to close out the Warriors and if you look at K scoring in those closeout games he averaged 32 points and seven boards but at what cost in game five he shot 12 of 31 from the field in game six he shot 10 of 31 Durant played 45 minutes both nights
Because the game plan was for KD and Westbrook to carry to create all the opportunities counting on making difficult shots throughout the entire game and come fourth quarter both would be gassed taking and missing several bad shots sure for KD these might not be the worst shots in the NBA but relying on
That is what was was their demise that and choking several turnovers fast forward to 2022 and the Celtics physical defense was enough to throw KD off Rhythm without ktie being able to make or even take those difficult shots they got swept now with the Suns we saw it
Against the Nuggets Durant was just bricking forget the embarrassing game six throughout the series Duran average 29.5 points and had great games but also at times with be completely off like in game two in the last 17 minutes he went four of 12 no threes no free throws
F one assist and one rebound leading to a loss Durant is a standard we’re holding him to really high heck yeah because he wants to be considered the best player in the world he was great some games and good others now Durant is unhappy with his Supporting Cast right
But that has been a theme everywhere he’s been that wasn’t the Warriors he feels the need to do it himself oh the stutter stepping and also gets upset at his teammates for not being as good as he wants part of that comes with being traded to an organization since they
Need to trade their entire asset Trove to get you which leads to Hero ball and offense that relies on KD to create and make several tough shots as the bare minimum to stay in games and no layers of offense turn to so you get horrible shooting nights and the cycle repeats
And again you signed on for playing with Chris Paul knowing he has injury history you also gave the O the Bradley Beal trade and if you knew anything about Beal you know he’s missed several games and the funny thing is KD knows that relying on just him or two stars isn’t
Enough to win games he regularly complained about that in OKC the two reasons he wanted to trade was one Westberg had the ball more than him and two he felt like they didn’t have a good offense with ball movement KD is so great he’s been great for a decade but
I’m tired of the cycle that always shakes up the entire NBA KD needs to change his own playing habits and figure out how to get his team more involved and forget about leaving so he can stay committed which in turn makes his teammates feel more involved otherwise
He’s going to be a star who kept failing at least he trying I guess the Aldi notification shout goes to your boy spoo man that’s jokes thanks for the old support and if you want to know why KD’s rival LeBron moving to point guard is a
Movie there’s a video right here and if you still here you really want to com and change so I know it’s your boy MJ yeah we Ving
Kevin Durant has failed like no other star has. #nba
Westbrook, Harden, Curry, Klay, Kyrie, Harden, Booker.
Instead of moving the ball around, Durant takes it from Curry and takes a pull-up three to win the game. No ball movement, and no Warriors action.
Kevin Durant started his career winning 4 scoring titles in his first 6 seasons and after becoming the villain by joining the Warriors, **I have never seen a player that talented repeatedly fail like this.**
Durant got swept by the Celtics while shooting 39% and getting locked up… had on and several off games against the Nuggets.
Why am I mentioning these two series? Because Durant was supposed to be a leader and that’s what he wanted, but that’s also Piece #1. KD has failed to be a true leader.
And since that moment, he’s gotten pretty much everything he’s wanted. His own franchise in the Nets that listened to anything he wanted. A trade right after he signed a 4 year extension to the team he wanted. But let’s look at the Nets for just a second.
But more drama, Harden would be unhappy with the direction the Nets were going and having to play more minutes, KD was frustrated with Steve Nash who literally said the only way the Nets could win was have Durant play more and Kyrie was still out cause of the vaccine. They were still first in the conference, but started falling when KD got hurt.
KD couldn’t necessarily keep the team together, but honestly, I don’t know if any player would, Harden demands a trade, the Nets get Ben Simmons Seth Curry, Andre Drummond, Kyrie comes back and the Nets now built in a way that Durant and Kyrie wanted were now in the playoffs. Healthy, decent role players, ready to take on whatever challeng—-
Oh so his team didn’t work. KD’s style of basketball wasn’t winning basketball?
Yet, still, KD still called out his critics last season, saying: “I’m not a leader? What the f–k does that mean? A lot of people say I’m not a leader because I didn’t tell Kyrie to get vaccinated… or I didn’t condemn Kyrie for leaving the team, going out, and living his life.”
No, KD…
Goran Dragic really had enough with the BS.
We aren’t questioning your leadership because of what you told or didn’t tell Kyrie –- we’re questioning your leadership because in 2022, KD would request a trade from the Nets for the first time.
But every really great player has to prove they can win a championship as the main guy. Kobe had to win without Shaq, LeBron had to be the main guy in Miami not Wade, but Durant left Curry to prove he could, but hasn’t. And that’s piece #2. Durant wanted to win AND be the top dog. For Durant, those two goals need to be fulfilled simultaneously, but which stars left championship situations to go off on their own and then failed? Maybe a young Tracy McGrady wanting to leave Vince Carter’s shadow? But even then they weren’t winning championships. Shaq left the Lakers but then won in Miami.
He might not really get that respect that Giannis or Kawhi would for leading a team to a championship.
His trade requests were to either the Suns or Heat, two teams who had recently made the finals and more importantly, had established cultures. Durant was done with trying to make his own.
But with both the Nets and the Suns and even the Warriors, we’ve seen problem. **Durant can be the man on the team, but only if he isn’t allowed to play his playstyle.**
And that’s piece #3, Durant needs to change what he thinks is winning basketball.
KD’s style works as a closer, works when the team is struggling and needs something, but can’t be the backbone of a great team.
Look at Kobe, who had to learn to trust his teammates, get them involved, and pick and choose his moments to take over. But if he never got those teammates involved, then they don’t give more effort defensively, they stagnate and are out of rhythm when you need them to hit big open shots.
Durant is unhappy with the supporting cast right? But that has been a theme everywhere he’s been that wasn’t the Warriors. He feels the need to do it himself and also gets upset at his teammates for not being as good as he wants. Part of that comes with being traded to an organization since they need to trade their assets to get you.
Which leads to hero ball, an offense that relies on KD to create and make several tough shots as the bare minimum to stay in games and not a layer of offense to turn to and then you get horrible shooting nights.
And the cycle repeats.

What do you wanna see next? We goin in
I feel like Russ, KD, & Harden all thought the other was the problem when they were in OKC and felt like they all could lead their own team to a ship. Well i guess we got an answer to that now lol
He's definitely an all time all-star.Needs more help than he can offer..Glad you calmed that D riding
I disagree
People in these comments are CRAZY……Context matters
I'm not an expert but for whatever reason, it just seems his game doesn't work in a team setting all too well. His 2 championships were joining a team that just missed back to back titles by 1 game and still won a title after Durant was gone. Other top 20 players have failed but none have joined star player after star player and fallen short quite like him.
sucks the suns lost our entire team just for durant
Base God curse
So you’ve never heard of lebron huh ? 🤣
He might as well go to the Lakers at this point
Almost as though those two stale chips cursed him from that point forward.
So he needs 3 players being double teamed … on the floor with him to win a chip 😂 cut it out he a bum went n destroyed my nets
Wow to hear a mj Phil story in the middle of action n he mentions paxxson that gave me chills no 🧢
Man Lil B should have never cursed him…
Never seen a star fail repeatedly like this? Look at Lebron!
This is why I respect Dirk so much and his 1 redemption championship. People forget Dirk wasn’t viewed as clutch and was labeled a choker until that redemption run against to beat Wade and the Heat super team. It was the perfect story for a legend
So y’all do this for lebum? Seriously he’s played with more all stars but yet this a video ? Y’all 🧢 so much y’all don’t even know y’all doing it ! If Lebron don’t act like hoe in 2010 while he’s 27 years old u don’t have KD doing shit @ 31-35 bringing up he played with harden & Russ without context is ignorant and stupid af!
KD couldn't do it without CUrry and will never make it without CUrry.
Curry made it twice without KD.
Jokic > KD
Giannis ended KD's contender career.
Has anyone noticed that the NBA is a product of it's player's upbringings? American-born NBA stars (like LeBron, KD, Harden, etc.) all grew up in the modern version of AAU, where instead of winning through building skills and teamwork, players constantly hop and jump to other teams in the hopes of making a super team that can win. It should be no surprise that's what they do in the NBA. Foreign born players learn to maximize their skills sets, become versatile players who can fill multiple roles on teams, which increases the chances of winning. Giannis, Jokic, it's no surprise these guys are winning, their lives have been built on team-first basketball. If we want to fix the problem of super teams and guys hopping teams, we have to change the culture of youth basketball, refocus on building skills and team-first winning basketball.
Holy shit i forgot about Ben Simmons. Is he still on the nets?
He should of stayed with OKC, beat the Warriors the next year.
Dude is a ring chaser those warriors rings don’t count
KD just set the suns back 5 years team build on glass Achilles tear and Beals bad back great job suns sold your soul for a fraud super team
I dont follow bs bsketball but i have watched durant play…his problem? He never makes other players better.
He is a grown up whiner.
Worst video on youtube
do we not care that Kawhi won when Lebron left the east and the warriors whole team was injured?
I've watched Durant's entire career. I am convinced the 1978-79 Supersonics would beat any team Durant played on, including the Warriors. He just isn't a team player
