Golden State Warriors: 5 Reasons This Team is Still Fun to Watch

4. Kevin Durant is one of the best NBA players ever

I think it’s important to laugh after big mistakes and to not spend too much time overthinking about negative situations, so allow me to be one of the many people to say Kevin Durant‘s Twitter mishap was one of the funniest social media moments in professional sports.

But aside from his ongoing feud with Russell Westbrook, the Oklahoma City Thunder and related media, Durant is one of the greatest players of his era. It’s unfathomable how anyone could ever just see his name on the roster and think “Nah, I can’t watch this team.”

Durant is an anatomical anomaly: he’s a lanky 7-footer with the coordination and skillset of a combo guard. He’s a once in a lifetime talent. If you can’t appreciate Kevin Durant as a basketball player, then you don’t appreciate basketball.

And if you can’t laugh and joke about Durant’s social media interactions, you honestly have to reevaluate your sense of humor. KD is an entertaining figure on and off the court — a trait that each of his All-Star teammates happen to share.
