KD is that dude at the park that’s hella cold at hooping but always jumps on the stacked team an if he can’t get on that team he won’t play hard for the lesser talented team so he can say it’s not his fault they lost 🎈

KD left because Westbrook refused to raise his basketball IQ because he felt he was that good and Westbrook wasn’t. KD wasn’t appreciated honestly.

KD left because of the lack of spacing in OKC.

If what Perk is saying at the end is TRUE then I completely understand why KD left OKC
John Yo

It’s completely true, I’ve followed the Thunder since they moved to OKC. The other part was KD having dinner with Russ, Nick and someone else and telling them he was going to stay. Then he flew to the Hamptons with Draymond, Steph ect and changed his mind.

Win or lose the media will tear you apart. Might as well win then, KD good job.

So Stephen A wants him to take a buyout and go to an All Star team.

He’s got a talent but not for a team, that talent is rather vampiric that sucks the energy of the team, look at the teams he was playing for, he did not bring anything there, but when he left, he left them in ruins- Oklahoma, Houston. The only right decision about Dracula Westbrook is to throw him out, kick him out, donna need your triple doubles Dracula!

Thank you Perk finally we know some facts of what really happened in OKC

Perk has a tendency to being on some BS but let’s be honest. The media hates Russ, he has definitely been taken for granted. Even if you say he stat pads it takes an elite athlete with a ridiculous motor to do what he does. Also, the media poisoned the Russ/KD dynamic .

And yet these revelations from perk will fall on deaf ears. The media’s narrative of why KD left OKC will always be because of Russ. That’s the story they’ll stick with. Guys like Stephen A. Or Skip Bayless or Shannon, Jalen. They don’t care about these things because it’s not part of their narrative.
