I'm gonna need a lot of people to stop compring sports to your 9 to 5 job. If I call a coworker a derogatory term for homosexuals, I'm losing my job. If I punch a coworker in the fave or choke my boss during a meeting, I'm getting fired and getting charged with assault. Are we just gonna pick and choose when we can compare it to our jobs?
Also, If I leave my company for our competitor, I am definitely not getting pats on the back from my marketing department/bosses. Maybe the homies in product development or design, but not these guys
If you are a valuable enough employee these things are overlooked at 'regular' jobs as well

He does try hard. I just spent 10 minutes going through his posts and it got stupid quick. My head hurt trying to follow what he was typing too.
This isn't typical of how most athletes use social media, right?

I was referring to the general consensus about me changing firms not what my former employer thought. Their opinion doesn't matter.

Whose opinion matters then? Your family/friends? Because I'm sure KD's family/friends are not burning KD at the stake over this decision
I've just been seeing this comparison on fb/blogs a lot and it doesn't sit right with me at all

There's some comedic gems in his IG
Not all of course but it's entertaining
Better than following Jeremy Lamb's

He was specifically talking about young black men getting big money. Pretty sir he feels that way cause he's black too. Of course you're not gonna feel the same way

This is how I been feeling about it.
If you don't like the move people wanna jump to "y'all hurt, y'all hurt". Nah the move just makes Durant look like a sucka. I've been supporting Durant for years. I've been rooting for the Thunder to make the finals ever since my Lakers fell off. But I gotta be honest about it. He's part of these reason why they blew that 3-1 lead to GS and now you jumping on their team? It looks funny.

^Yup exactly. If you were the most valuable employee at your job no one is going to hate you for moving to a better situation. If you were a crap employee and got a better job anyway, then I can see the hate

Until teaching or any other 'normal' job becomes a multi-billion dollar industry athletes will always have a much higher salary.

What does this even mean, the regular population lines everyone's pockets. Yours, the team owners etc etc.

you don't understand? Thats the problem.
So you see, salaries going up must mean the money is coming from some where, right? How does money get made in entertainment? Consumers are paying for it. So ticket prices go up, cable bills go up, stuff like that.
We;re all the fools, if you really want to look at it. Unless you never go to a game, or pay for cable, than you're not contributing.
I think its safe to say we all watch ESPN/TNT in here, so our subscriber fees are going up. How else are they going to pay the NBA that $24B?

'Fans' complain for years about how selfish the players are. Just get max money and don't let the team 'improve'
'Fans' complain when players take less money to be on better teams and try to win
Peeps can't keep it straight what they want
Guess the only way a player gets a pass is they stay with their drafted team their entire career but within that team take less money so the team can improve? Doesn't make a ton of sense but whatever

I didn't say it as a means to put KD down. I'm actually all for players going where they want and that's what he did.I was referring to the general consensus about me changing firms not what my former employer thought. Their opinion doesn't matter.

It's just crazy that people are trying to get mad at this guy for improving his working situation.
But the rules of life don't apply to sports.
