Durant is tired of being second

[K Xerxes]

Durant is apparently tired of being second his whole life. As per the SI cover:

"I've been second my whole life. I was the second best player in high school. I was the second pick in the draft. I

I like it. I like it a lot. Good luck!!

Don't worry KD, you'll get to the promised land this year.

[Trollsmasher]

On serious note - he should focus on becoming the 1st option on his own team again.

Great attitude to have. However, that's the sort of thing that happens when you have a guy like LeBron in the league. Best of luck to KD for attaining his desires in basketball, though.

So how many "I thought he meant about being 2nd best or 2nd option on his team" or "he needs to stop whining" posts does this generate?

I love the quote, and love knowing he's not satisfied with where he's at right now. With that said, even if OKC gets out of the West, they're not beating Miami this year. I hate it as much as anyone else, but I can't see them beating Miami this year. Hell, I'm not feeling good about the potential second round match-up with the Clippers with the way they're playing.

good attitude, can't wait to see how his prime will be.

He never stopped being the first option on his own team.

Oh jeez, I didn't think about that. I hope this thread doesn't take that turn. He is quite clearly the best player on his team and second best player in the world.

But, with trolls, anything is possible I guess...

[gintama]

second option on his own team

[Mr. Jabbar]

1st ft shooter though

[dh144498]

he's also the 2nd best player on his team.

[elementally morale]

If you really hate being second you may always try being third. Just to see if that's any better.

[ripthekik]

I like this attitude.

Same attitude Rose had when he said, "Why can't I be MVP?"
(dude's a joke now tho )

Anyways, who was the #1 HS player???
