He was wrong. He too wanted to get hot off of the sophomoric #Kang hate frenzy in 2010 and failed to see the larger picture: Lebron James both founded and enshrined an enlightenment period of heightened Players Rights that has created a paradigm shift in the NBA.
They all praised KD for playing by the old rules - and in turn - he turned his back on convention and jettison'd ship in unprecedented fashion. He apologizes as only now he realizes the courage of Lebron James: Kang carried the cross so that KD can have nice teammates.
Problem is: Lebron went to a Miami team that was on the brink of perennial mediocrity (much like they are now). Swept from the 1st round of the playoffs in 2009 when D. Wade was the Alpha - and the franchise was saved by Lebron's shift to Miami - instantly turning them from an afterthought into a powerhouse dynasty.
Golden State? *Already* a built champion; a historic team. They have won without KD - they don't need him; he needs them. White flags drawn. What's worse? 3-1 lead in the WCF - and you couldn't get it done. An arch rival destroys you and then assimilates you accordingly.
These things aren't the same. But one thing is certain: Kevin Durant was wrong - and he apologizes to Lebron James today for not realizing the genius aforethought and founding father prophecy of Lebron James - who invoked the 23rd Amendment in 2010:
Players Rights > Franchise Rights
Citizens United was overturned by Justice James and the world was never the same.
