As Kevin Durant continues to move on from his decision to leave the Oklahoma City Thunder, he looks back on what he did and realizes he could have done some things differently.
Those things, however, are not necessarily what you might think they were.
“One thing I was doing too much of was I was trying to be delicate with everyone’s feelings, especially the fan base in OKC, and my former teammates,” Durant told Marc J. Spears of The Undefeated. “I had to realize that they don’t care. They’re going to dissect what they’re going to dissect. I was trying to be really considerate of their feelings and everything.”
It’s quite the admission from Durant, and you can sense some frustration in it. He has tried to be extremely conciliatory toward both fans and former teammates in the months since he departed the team, but the fans have struggled to accept it and his teammates haven’t been all that willing to diffuse things either. He’s moving on, and perhaps he’s learned a lesson from it.
