Beef between NBA players/teams and the media are certainly hot in the streets right now.
Some call that being soft online, but not me.
Ive been in the league for 18 years.

Ive never seen Stephen A. at a practice, or a film session, or a shoot-around.
Ive never seen him anywhere but on TV talking s about players.
… Hes a clown to me.

Hes always been a clown.
you might write that, too.
Now I can’t sit here and tell you that Durant is 100% accurate here.
I have no idea if Stephen A has ever watched a practice or a shootaround.
I’m not sure how he would be allowed into a film session, but you get the point.
But what is accurate is the fact that Stephen A does say some wild shit on TV.
You turn on ESPN and their NBA on ESPN shows and this is basically their only play.
Out with the analysis, in with the bullshit.
That’s essentially the ESPN playbook.
Sadly, we all know what happens next.
Meanwhile, the Suns are 5-1 and sit 2nd in the West.
Durant is off to another insane start to his season with 25.8/7.0/3.0 on 51/44% splits.
Is it a stretch to assume he’s also doing his job as a leader as well?
Shoutout to them for that.
