Hate that the media still tries to tear this dude down, literally one of the greatest players we’ve seen ever. As a warriors fan, the Bay still rock with KD
he makes poor choices
I second that about the bay
The media isn’t trying to tear him down. It’s Kyrie. I see nothing but empathy for KD having to deal with Kyries BS. I hope Kyrie gets low $$ for not putting in the work and KD gets another baller to go along side him and Simmons willing he gets over his weak excuse
The media has 0 ❤️for anyone
He’s a rat who types too much
So refreshing to see KD talk for himself and cancel out all that noise out there.
Respect man.
Draymond green : "It's the new media"
Squatting every day day 1000: dunking every day
Kd is a clown
Literally garbage interview
Does KD brush his hair?
When you do what kd has done for 15 years straight. They don’t have no other option but to hate. You a legend bro. Favorite player since the sonic days. Can’t wait to see you win another one.
The media is angry at this podcast because he didn't answer questions to give them something to gossip about 🤣🤣🤣
Win with Scottie in the 6ix
I think Brooklyn gonna win back to back next seasons they have simmons defense now
@@aldrinalquizola3615 Simmons doesn't even have faith in himself. I think the Nets should be happy if he even gets on the court during an actual game. But I think it's hard for KD to trust both Kyrie and Simmons at this moment. lol
The tweet that kd put out about steph kinda caught people off guard
As a GSW fan, born and raised in the bay, I got utmost respect and love for KD. Dude is a legend and it pisses me off that Bay Area media wasn’t honest about stuff. I root for KD and his career, he’s a cool and real dude.
100% agree. The vast majority of fans loved him and still respect him.
A lot of fans have respect for him still, but it's the slights at Steph after departure. He's been seen liking tweets undermining Steph, tweets that threw his teammates under the bus, tweets throwing shade at Warriors fans... his decision to leave isn't what left a sour taste for Dubs fans but the sly antics that came after it. Let's not act like he wasn't honest about stuff either, because it definitely went both ways.
@@mikokb Thank you
He wanted Steph curry to be traded 🤡
@@mikokb That’s what these “Warriors fans for life” have no idea about.
Huge Warriors fan. Absolutely love KD, before and after his time with Ws. He balled at GS. This guy absolutely loves the game. He doesn't take extreme positions on issues like former teammates, success of others, or involvement in others journeys/decisions. And he has every right to speak in mind. I'll always be thankful for his time in Oakland.
He wanted Steph curry to be traded lol
@Anna R It's on my list to watch the full interview. Saw the spot where he talked about Harden. KD talked about his time at OKC on JJs show as well. More about just putting his head down and learning/gaining experience. Then towards the end realizing as one of the best in the league he should at least be informed of some of the player decisions. I'm sure that's what was so attractive about Brooklyn. Although I'm not sure he had the last 3 years on his BINGO card. Kind of a disaster.
Not hard to ball on a 73 win team … he gets no respect for that
@@IXIRob_MarleyIXI go join the warriors, average 30 and then come back and say it’s easy
@@IXIRob_MarleyIXI fool was he on the Warriors when he won MVP???
It’s so annoying that with KD and Steph that there’s this constant slandering one to uplift the other. Never have I seen that more among two players. Appreciate both and what they did together.
🎯
> Russell Westbrook enters the chat.
You have a point, the NEVER is defo inaacurate. The biggest example is lebron/jordan, either side just brings up what the other didnt do, like lebron's finals record and jordan's longevity or lack thereof.
It’s the media creating that
@@rashadbeckham7141 so who is creating the durant-curry narrative that isn’t creating the Lebron-Jordan one? Name me one specific group
I am Warriors fan but i will always be grateful for what KD on and off the court for us in the 3 years he was with the Dubs. Don't forget that KD:
-Decided to sign with us after the 2016 finals collapse and taking all the flack to join a 73-9 win team, just because he wanted to win more than anything else
-Won 2 titles and 2FMVPS (for what the award is worth, i think he was the best player in 2017, and on par with Steph in 2018)
-Took a pay cut to make sure Iguodala and Livingston would re sign
-Carried the team in 2018 late in the season and at the start of the playoffs with Steph being out injured
-Played incredible defense for long stretches, helping the team maintain a high level of rim protection despite losing depth at the center position
-Came back during the 2019 finals with an injured calf putting his career in jeopardy when he torn his ACL just to help the team
-Helped facilitate the S&T with Brooklyn on his way out that turned into Wiggins and Kuminga
I understand being mad because he left something so great to build his own thing somewhere else, but for me KD will always be a Warriors legend

@@Esmoove96 imagine reading mans whole comment just to spell check him ☠️🤣
People forget about that Sign and trade.smh
Imagine someone making that whole comment just to not have the FACTS right ☠️🤣
Kd so chill and laidback you can tell his energy is genuine 💯
Try some weed we all need it
@@allen1470 I said the same thing 💯
It's always the quiet ones that brew on the inside.
"Everytime i run into a legend I get nothing but love" Love this!
KD, I am a life long Warrior fan, been watching since the early 80’s. We loved you in GS. Us real fans always appreciated you. Don’t listen to the haters and the noise. I’m sad you left, but I get it. But just know, we appreciate you and the key role you played in those championships. Much love. ❤️
Absolutely!
What a legend and a true champ.
Even his injury was legendary. True warrior spirit!
this guy is so misunderstood. you can see he truly just wants to play basketball and is fully dedicated to the game. But media heads create all these different types of negative narratives about him smh
Hmmm
@@heatgang6415 hmmm what
My favorite player and I've been watching basketball for 40+ years....
On the court, KD is a one of one.
Not only is his game incredible and a joy to watch, but hes a good dude....Plays the right way. Comes off as a genuine person. Has an awesome mother that raised him right...He has a cool swag....
That's the type of dude you root for.
Let the haters hate....Me, I appreciate.
KD‘s calfs longer than Eddie‘s whole damn legs 💀
KD: "Aint no one picking sides, I wish both of yall lost tf" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
GS fan here. 2017 was the best team ever. best hoops ever on the court. imo, most beautiful display of basketball. KD was able to bring that to the team. best scorer ever. can’t wait to see your statue at chase.
My boi KD feeling good from that ⛽️💨😂🤣😂
That Man high as a kite 😂
I wasn’t gonna watch but now I have to
Man that man dont smoke THC he smoke CBD weed but I get it
No he smoke weed
@@juliusdeloach na bro dat nigga smoke za za fasho
As someone from OKC, I still respect KD and what he did for the city and team
KD is such a nice person , he is a real treasure to the league and we will miss him when he retires , hopefully his body and his mind can stay in synergy for at least 1 more decade. God bless ya'll
I love these! Just talking about the game and mental! No drama, no insults and no made up stories with anonymous sources.
It makes me sad how much people hate him. For me, I just love his game and how real he always is
Nobody hates him we hate how he gets a pass for the things Lebron gets crucified for
people hate him cuz he ruined the league for years
@@lilvon7669 and when he leave GS they still saying he shouldn’t of leave and it’s his worst mistake…ppl need to choose one and stick to it..especially the media
@@lilvon7669 he ruined the league? Lmao i don’t see how you’re mad at him for using the tools the NBA gives players. They have the options to go to another team or stay. If you’re mad at anything be mad at the NBA market 😂
Love the open dialogue hearing from the players is always refreshing and let’s you see a different perspective from what the media tries to push
People need to realize, y'all needed each other at the time. Growing apart and doing your own thing doesn't take away from accomplishments you've made.
Warriors fan since the 70s lots of ups but many downs never jump ship K.D. brought joy to this team wish u could've stay around .🙌
okc fan here, KD will always be my favorite player ever. i hope he comes back to okc one day and finishes his career with the thunder. to win a ring with okc would be an amzing feeling for us fans and im sure for himself as well
As a warriors fan in the bay I know we will always appreciate KD. He gave us everything he had and is a 2 time champ and finals mvp because of the impact he made and I'll always have the upmost respect for him. You right KD you were a great contributor to this dynasty and no talking head can take that away.
i dont get why people hate KD. he seems like he just keeps it real. i enjoy the podcast
KD Is a God
Some people just take sports too personally. Almost like they’re trying to live through the players
Because people are just jealous of the man. I am from India, I would never meet KD in my life. But I wake up early to watch all of his matches and I can only thing of Jordan who was more smoother than KD. I can't think of any player better than him. I am so envious of you folks in the US that can watch him on the court or just meet him up close. I'm sure history will be kind to him and more than anything, he will have peace of mind when all is done. As he always gives it a 100%.
Same
Cause he took the easy way out and his level of talent we never expected that
Real Dubs fans love & appreciate KD for the 3yrs he was in Oakland. Talking heads can go somewhere! #NewMedia
Honestly I've never read or hear any Warrior fan ever talking down on KD.
This is all fabricated nonsense by some part of the media.
The man is a bay legend.
Never understood y people didn’t like kd on the warriors. Even with all those stars they all still had a functioning no ego unit. Probably my fav team from top to bottom
Yes you’re trolling
I didnt hate them but it took away my interest from the NBA. We all knew, barring injuries, the Warriors are going to win 99.99%. Took away all parity from the league.
Their dominance was interesting only if you are a warriors fan. So please understand why majority hates them.
All these likes warriors fans
It's because they took over the league. Lol. Greatness always has haters.
Warriors fans respect KD, im glad he said it. It's the media who has created this storm and I would say the media motivated KD to go to the dubs by saying he would never win a ring and also made him leave by crying that it was unfair. Now they are saying he should of never left! This is why KD doesn't care anymore, he has seen the narrative change every 3 years
No they don't not all of them respect kd
@@123456CBOY but the majority does and the majority will always out weigh the minority
@@hoodyfrog7036 agreed. It's always the haters and fake fans that are the loudest and most noticed. These r the same fake fans that cheered the back 2 back championships and dunked on him when he left
@@hoodyfrog7036 some do n some don't right after steph was his finals mvp the disrespect came kd way
It's great that KD has his own platform to where he can give his perspective about everything he feels like speaking on...So many made up stories about KD and what he's doing or what he's thinking and it just great to see KD expose the lies that were said and made up about him...Great interview 🔥
This was a dope interview....Good to hear his side. Seems genuine and honest
The 2012 finals were the first finals I watched back when I was 8 and that was first time I ever saw KD play. Through out elementary school I kept watching KD and just fell in love with his game and he became my favorite player. I remember in 4th grade I wanted the KD 7s so bad and eventually got them😂. I’m going to college now and still love KD and his game and will always appreciate being able to watch his greatness!
Yessir been waiting for dis 🥳😮💨🔥👏🏾
KD been my 2nd favorite after Kobe of course. He even got my number 35 which is insane. 35 been with me my entire life.
"1 week later..."-SpongeBob Narrator
As an OKC Fan it’s nice to hear KD talk about them. He help build the franchise
Great interview KD gotta do more of theses
I respect him no matter what team he's on KD is my favorite basketball player
Great interview. Hey KD, this is the New Media Dre talking about. It's the players controlling their own narrative and people getting to know and understand the player from their voice. This was perfect.
Purest basketball player I’ve ever seen!!!
His skills are natural, can’t be taught
There will never not be love for KD from true Warriors fans! Would love to see him get some more success post Warriors career
KD is / and will always be my favorite basketball player. It doesn’t matter where he decides to take his talents, I’ll be a fan of KD . Keep operating in greatness KD you’re the best !!!
When your at the top, everybody wants to be there and always try tearing you down. You been my favorite player since your high school days. I'm not a texas fan period, but I'm a KD fan no matter what!
bruh KD's length is CRAZY 🤯
KD the definition of a baller. Going down as the best scorer of all time.
Need the chef on the podcast, would be insane.
I'm glad KD still has the hunger I'm one of his biggest fans and to me it seemed like he wasn't hungry anyone glad I was proven wrong
Ima KD fan and he always been hungry he just wants to hoop just bad circumstances came up it’s life
The media convinced you KD wasn't hungry and you believed them without thinking🤨
@@EduardoOliveira-zx9ju I don't watch the media ima cowboys fan 😂 they always shutting on my team just he didn't seem to he having fun or caring during the playoffs
@@donnelljenkins1208 He was injured nearly half of the season, and as i recall both he and Kyrie were always smiling ear to ear doing their sacred handshake
Then only problem is you are also a cowboys fan and probably think they are good every year when in reality they haven’t been to an NFC Championship game in 26 years.
I had no idea that the Bay Area sports journalists were being 2-faced with KD. The Warriors owner clearly said KD will always have a home with Golden State and will retire his jersey there.
Dude Bay Area media is worse than New York. One of the 49ers journalists were trying to get Javon Kinlaw to attack him so he could get a multi million dollar settlement
Didnt know either. But the media, no matter where will always be the media. You can expect them to do right by you. They're always gonna choose a story that brings in clicks rather than being right by you.
@@vanity1602 Agree. It's just that it would be disappointing if Monte is 2-faced. Tim Kawakami? Sure, I''d believe it. But not Monte Poole.
KD is class act. thank you for this interview.
Kd my guy I appreciate the way you address everyone one that threw slander on your name and try to make its seem like your contribution to the Warriors championship wasn't significant continue being the professional you have been since entering the league knowing the way you exit in the first round I know next season will be one for the ages just come back and show these guys why you're kd have a great off season
From the 209 valley & a golden state warriors fan & i still rock with KD.. mad respect for him
Love his humbleness
People always wanting to tear this guy down
Kd we want KAI on. Yall be such a vibe when yall be talking I wanna see it one more time. 😁
Watch Kyrie's interview w/ LeSean McCoy, Brandon Marshall, & Pacman Jones.... same thing. Shows humility & sets the record straight. None of that gossip talk from the media clouding judgement of these players
Kd was part of legendary team.
So chill. So humble.. out the way. Take some notes people. Stop gettn in orher peoples business 💯
It’s crazy to me that a superstar of this level is willing and only with being this vulnerable for the whole world to see. I have my takes on Kevin Durant. But I will always respect the honesty and bravery to come up here despite being on the limelight
To the ones who likes these kinds of post this is for you. I Hope your day, week, even year is a blessed one. Life is to short to hate and be mad at anything. Start reaching out to loved one more because you never know when it’s our last day here. Whatever it is in life you want to do go after it don’t let anyone tell you other wise. Keep on fighting, pushing, and grinding through whatever you are going through hope all is well peace and one love!🙏🏽
KD Off The Za 💨💨💨
Great Interview BTW. He's just writing his own Story and people have to understand he still is an individual and he has to navigate in the business as well. The League works as a business and the players have to adapt that mentality and become their own personal business as well. They are in the public eye, and criticism will always be there. It's just some of the criticism is not warranted.
I have never really followed KD outside of GS, just heard the noise and the negative narratives bout him from the old media but he seems like a very nice chill dude. My perception has definitely changed.
Great convo. I love his perspective.
Really good episode. Its super easy to make up a narrative and make "reality" cuz all content is online now. Its like writing a tv show with real characters. Its enticing to our palates. Stay in REALity KD. The REAL will outlast the scripts.
I appreciate what you did for gsw.
KD is my favorite player been that since Sonics days 💯
Great interview 💯
As a GSW fan, love KD. True baller!
He will always be himself no matter what people want him to be that’s why people don’t like him he a millionaire who literally says what he wants he a glitch in the matrix
Maybe he should’ve never thrown jabs at Steph and the warriors when he left. I used to like KD, but he deserves a bit of slander. He was never gracious for his time with Steph lol he’d have NOTHING if it wasn’t for that stop in san Fran
Your right he will always be himself, the most sensitive emotional super star in nba history, making burner accounts constantly responding to irrelevant twitter trolls 😂 Role players in the nba are millionaires nobody criticizes him out of money jealousy that's literally laughable
Tf you talking bout ??? Its not about him responding its who he responds to 🤦🏾♂️ he sensitive to wrong ppl
KD would have positive tweets about him but he always responds to the random negative tweets about him proves he's soft
@@UndecidedColorway that’s so right, his insecurities are so severe that he can’t stand one negative comment- and it’s almost always in relation to his rings lolll he knows full well he took the easy way out, and it’ll bug him till he wins one on his own
KD’s voice sounds really smooth & innocent here. Definitely a different vibe from his twitter feed 😌 How different are these interviews when it’s not a friend, fan, or ally. I would like to see it ✨
One of the Best interviews I seen in a long time💯💯🔥🔥👏👌Salute KD bra👌You can tell him and dude really bool💯👌
Keep pushing Kd. Your right where u suppose to be. Family4ever
Perfectly said, DW ✊
I respect KD for keeping his circle small and only messing with the same peeps he's known for years 💯
KD is so chill
Because of KD's sign and trade for D'Angelo Russell (who later was traded for Wiggins) the Warriors were great again to win their forth champion.
So this Legend even when leaving has helped the Warriors' Dynasty to compete in the future.
KD we salute you are as a true warrior and will see your shirt up in the banners of Chase Center.
I can't wait to see which parts of this interview all the sports shows will use. lol
Espn first take going to make 20 videos about different things Kd said in this interview and twist it
KD is the man!!💪...💚 him!
Love hearing KD man.. real purist
I've not heard Steph or Kerr not give KD his props in fornt of the mic. Its definitely media driven. KD pull his weight! and Steph pull his weight too without those points 25 to 30 point they would not have won! both KD & Steph both lost in NBA Finals before they connected, but Steph Curry had 🏆 against LeBron.. the media also said Steph couldn't hit a big shot, KD knows better than that too.. but the media is pushing narratives. the bar seems to be a min of 🏆🏆🏆🏆 for a seat, Shaq4, Kobe5, Duncan5, LeBron4, Majic5, Curry4. Real talk, I hope KD gets there!
Skillwise though… KD would cook all of them 😂
Maybe not Kobe though
@@triocha233 You know I was bout to call you out on Kobe 🤣 🤣 Kobe way too physical for KD, elbow to the chest & slam ova and ova 😂😂😂 Shaq will get physical with
KD too, but KD might get Shaq cause he don't have a handle!
@@triocha233 he definitely not cooking prime shaq 😂. It would b 11 - 0 if they playing to 11
Lebron is manufactured though , they said he was the goat befor he won in Cleveland the media told us lebron should have finals mvp when the warriors beat them
Love his positive approach on things. I hope he comes back to OKC and build something with Chet, Josh and Shai. It will be nice for him to win there and build a dynasty with those three. Get some vets. Give up dort, some rookies and picks, it might work.
Giving up Dort is not smart
KD if you’re listening to this ty for the times you played for the Golden State Warriors still got love for you and wish you the best
I respect kd answer sm speakin on the ky and Brooklyn situation 💯
Never seen KD play scared or hesitant before, until that Boston series. Scared or hesitant, unbelievable performance KD!
Damn knees up to his chin in the thumbnail ☠
This man KD is in California and STILL rocking a hoodie 😂 mans is the definition of “keeping that SAME energy”
Apparently you’ve never been to CA. As Twain once said +The coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco +
We wear hoodies in CA 🤣🤣🤣. He was in nor cal. I don’t know where he at in this video but It gets cold up here in nor cal… especially at night.
We get a chill weather in the morning and at night even during summertime.
Bro idc how KD moved but KD warriors was legendary and glad we got to witness it
That man took pay cuts 3 years straight and still played at a high level you gotta respect that
Also left in such a way that they could get Wiggs. I mean, what more do they want??
@@cal91bck facts💯
Thank youuuuuuuu!!
@@cal91bck yeah for sure. It's the fans that are the issue not GSW organisations or players.
KD, nobody ever said you didn't contribute. We all know you absolutely did contribute. It was the narrative that they "needed" you that needed to be destroyed because that narrative was also bringing down Steph. Just like Steph or MJ don't necessarily need a player of your caliber, I believe you ALSO don't need a player of their caliber to get yours too. At the end of the day, everyone needs their teammates to win not just one particular player.
Why would that narrative be destroyed. I don't believe for a second warriors were winning in 2017 and 2018 without kd and they didn't win in 2019 without kd.
@@brendanbloom3366 They didn't need KD to win. They needed a better version of Harrison Barnes. They needed KD to DOMINATE. They locked up the league with KD which is something different than just winning a 7 game series. No one is taking away from KD's greatness, but it's not like they were scrubs before he got there.
@@AJ-yj1ji based on the roster they had they needed kd to win. They gave up 2 starters and most their bench when they got Kd. I remember Cavs making games close in 2017 and Houston putting their backs against the wall in 2018. Not sure that GS wins those series with just a better version of Barnes.
@@brendanbloom3366 they didn't need him.
Green was suspended, iggy had back issues, and bogut was hurt. All of those things happened starting game 5 when lebron, kyrie and the whole team started attacking the paint and scoring over 110 points.
Curry and klay struggled most of that series. I don't think that was going to happen in 2017.
@@Christopher._M I said they needed him based on the current roster they had. They had already gave up bogut, Barnes, and most the bench when they got Kd. It also took a record 11 3s from Klay for them to make the finals that year. Teams also improve year to year. Cavs would still be a challenge. A healthy spurs were still there. The rockets formed together. Teams were figuring out how to gaurd GS.
The Goat..a Great Humble Leader...
You have to love and respect KD one the best to have ever done this, the media is so much against him for whatever reason
LOVE THE PODCAST KD🐐💯💓💓💓🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Damn it I love this interview and the timing too , man why people wanna tear Brothers down why can't everybody say steph and kd were both so important to those championships and dynasty why they gotta tear down kd to uplift steph legacy and vise versa
🇿🇦..SA's number 1 KD fan..
Dope. KD been my favorite player since I saw him ballin in OKC. Not even from Oklahoma but his game was too pure. The Summer League joints were hot too. The sweep sucked but I'm looking forward to next season!
Kevin keep up the great work that u r doing on and off the court u r the best🦋🦋💯💕🤓
After hearing Kendrick Perkins interview I have more respect for Kevin Durant ! Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook never like each other and Durant stay for so long, I got more respect for Durant now.
Kevin The Off-Season.
I love that documentary so much.
It’s really good
Im glad he mentioned Bruce , this man is working his tail off
KDs legs in the thumbnail is hilarious
As a GSW fan here from the Bay Area, I can confidently say KD definitely contributed to our championship run. I just wish he’d had stayed instead of listen to the media. KD fit perfectly on our team.
W GS fan
well gsw picked dray over KD
Kevin Durant is Back!
*been*
True Warrior fans all appreciate KD and his contributions in the time he was on our team. I will always root for KD's success (except when he's playing vs the Warriors)
Charles Barkley went out West after being swept by the Knicks in the 89 Playoffs and Jordan got him in 90 and 91. Sir Charles did not stick around to be the bus driver for Philly in the East and let's not forget about him almost being traded to the Lakers. On top of that when he went to the Rockets he was the same age as Kevin Durant today 33.
Age ain't the same anymore. People are way fitter now at 33. Plus Charles don't have the body type and all of the rockets were old by then.
Having said that, don't think Chuck will ever claim to be better than KD, just like he very happily admits someone like TD or MJ are better than him.
I'm on his side when he says he was better than Malone.
