Kevin Durant has been called ‘sensitive’ by some people. NBA legends like Charles Barkley and used that label when talking about the two-time NBA champion and it has stuck.
The Nets superstar himself thinks that the label was put on him because he joined the Warriors in 2016 after losing to them the year before in the Western Conference Finals.
Durant wonders why other athletes are not being called ‘sensitive’ for doing what he has done.
Via Melisa Rohlin of FOX Sports:
“C’mon, you know what happened. Because I went to the Warriors,” said Durant, referencing leaving small-market Oklahoma City in 2016 to join a Golden State team with superstars Steph Curry, Klay Thompson and Green that had won a league-record 73 games the season prior. “People still don’t like that part of everything. People want to silence me for some reason. I mean, I can’t pinpoint exactly why.
“But it’s just like I’ve seen it, it’s not just a ‘me’ thing, like, there are a lot of players amongst a lot of sports that interact with their people on Twitter, Instagram, socials, and I don’t hear the ‘sensitive’ rep about them.”
