When the news dropped that Kevin Durant decided to sign with the Golden State Warriors, the reaction from players around the league and media alike were far-reaching, to say the least.
Players were just as stunned as the rest of the viewing public waiting on Durant’s decision.

Going to be hilarious watching the narrative change, you think the Warriors were starting to get hate this year? Wait.

By the way, I'm here for jokes. I LOVE what Durant just did. Great basketball and business decision/story. Fun basketball for him and us.

When Lebron and the Cavs beats the Warriors with Durant, what will people say then 🤔

To top it off, Warriors forward Andre Iguodala had some words for those who reacted negatively to Durant’s decision to join the Bay. Needless to say, he isn’t fazed in the slightest.
David Eugene Chappelle… Start planning the next Player Haters Ball
