Kevin Durant to the Warriors

I had a lot of time to process this and I have came to a conclusion. This move is great for the NBA but also bad for the NBA at the same time. The NBA for the last couple years has bee missing something. A villain. Kevin Durant was the lovable scorer who was loyal to the thunder. Warriors were the team that all got along and were an underdog turned into one of the best teams in NBA history. Lebron was no longer the hated player he was in Miami because he came home and won a ring for Cleveland. Now Kevin Durant and the Warriors are the villains of the NBA. Kevin Durant went from the beloved player who was a great scorer to one of if not the most hated player in the NBA. The Warriors are now the most talented team ever and have so much pressure to win. It is win or bust and I think that’s great for the NBA. Why the move is not good for the NBA is because the playoffs is more ruined then it already was. This year there were 4 teams that had a legit shot at winning a title. The Warriors, cavs, thunder, and Spurs. Now it’s just Cleveland and the Warriors. There is no point of watching the regular season or playoffs because we kind of already know the outcome. My last point is that Lebron has the least amount of pressure on him in his career. He already had little pressure because he delivered a ring to Cleveland, he came through and Had little pressure on him. But now he has none. It seems like the Warriors cheated, and Kevin Durant cheated, their way into a championship. If Kevin Durant wins a title it will be a lot less meaningful then if he did in OKC, like lebrons 1 ring in Cleveland means more than his two in Miami. But now back to the point, Lebron is, for the first time in his career, an underdog, because it’s basically a super team vs him and Kyrie. He has no pressure to win a ring because he just won one and he isn’t expected to win. For the first time in his career.
