Oh Kev

I guess the Empire finally stuck back. Not arguably the shittest movie of the original Star Wars trilogy. But the KD v Nets debacle.

His strop got him nowhere. Kyrie never got a contract extension as a reward for trashing their 21/22 season. Steve Nash is still coach. Sean Marks is still GM. Both were expendable, but still have jobs. The bloke Caitlin (probably me, I’m just unwilling to accept responsibility) named a guinea pig after – and he was a nice piggie – has failed to manipulate an NBA franchise.

All he’s done is take them off national TV coverage, which in turn gives them less money to put good players around him. The bloke who stropped away from Warriors because they loved Steph more – and who wouldn’t? – has struck again.

It’s nice in the era of the superstar to see one of them taken down a notch. I have nothing against Kevin Durant, but those incredibly rich sportspeople (because this isn’t just basketball) who think they’re in charge, don’t always win.
