Stephen A Smith: "You're Wanda Durant....you're 5'7" with a 6' wingspan. Can pull up from 30. Average 35 in your sleep. One of the top 3 moms in the league. Class personified."
The entire interview was pointless; just an excuse to get his mom on the show. Of course Stephen A Smith isn't sorry about what he said. Durant going to the Warriors WAS weak. Leaving the Thunder wasn't weak; a superstar would get frustrated playing alongside a ballhog like Westbrook. He could've gone to a rising team like the Celtics or Wizards that's missing a Kevin Durant. Lebron > Durant. Durant could do whatever the fuck he wanted when he has two of the best shooters in NBA history and the DPOY alongside him. Not to mention a bench unit which by itself could make the play-offs. Lebron had to do more when all he had was Kyrie Irving. All his additional help was inconsistent all series. Where the fuck was Kevin Love?
i love Stephen A.smith because of how much he respects moms. its a beauty how calm and respectful he becomes when they are around. Shows he was raised by a real one.
Moms will always be Moms, and we respect that, but Stephen A Smith is right about KD joining the best team in the NBA. He was on a good team already going against a weaker East.
@@kunkonerosarmiento3664 it would be the weakest move by a superstar ever, except for the fact that lebron was completely bullied and harassed in Cleveland
@Sasuke Uchiha You still on 2011 10 years later lmao you bringing that up proves your previous comment wrong dude, KD's warriors never choked a finals like that.
mnybags07 Lets use this as an example, you work for a company and a different job offers u more money, your job offers a raise of 5000/week and the other job offers 7500/week. What u gonna take. KD left cause he wanted to win and OKC didn't have the ability to.
If we do get Paul George or Jimmy Butler, next years finals will be A HELL of a lot more competitive because Klay is a good two way player but talent wise Jimmy and Paul are better than him. Klay won't be able to score and guard them the whole time in a finals series.
Deli God but then you would be hypocrites because then Paul George would make a weak move by going to Cleveland because he always get beat by lebron James "if you can't beat them join em"
He's been knowing her for years. He's spent countless hours around all these guys. He knows her very well. Remember KD has been in the league for some time now. He was drafted by the Seattle Supersonics. They didn't just meet, believe me.
TopBrand True His Mom Is Kinda Like Mines She Speaks Her Mind But Her Son That Nigga A Weakling.....Why He Didn't Play Like This In The WCF Game 5, 6, Or 7 Last Year Up 3-1 If He's So Great?
Stephen Pentagon it's because him and Westbrook started playing hero ball because they had a huge lead against the Warriors and thought they wouldn't come back and win
John lauska agreed....I felt Stephen A. could have stood by his opinion without disrespecting her....he switched his opinion because she is sitting in front of him....if she never came on the show he would have continued with his stance....
sbgaldos. but it's not being harsh fam. He was speaking facts.. With KD going to a already built super team it ruined the competitiveness man And that's all Stephen A was trying to say. No disrespect intended just straight honesty
The East was as competitive as the West was, perhaps even less. LBJ and the rest of the Cavs took "vacations" in the regular season, didn't even bother to compete for 1st seed, because they didn't need it. No one is talking about the "competitiveness" of the East though, it's like the only problem is the Warriors super team...
It's not like KD wanted to play for OKC growing up. he was drafted first by Seattle and then the organization wrongfully moved to that city. So it's not about some perceived loyalty to his city. He stayed loyal for that long because he was playing well and he's a good person. But at some point it's gotta be about himself before others. I bet if Washington was a contender level team he would have gone there, but they weren't, so although he might like it there he knows it wouldn't get him his championship. I honestly don't think that him losing to GS in the WCF played that big of a role other than denying him a chance at the finals. It was seeing them also collapse to Lebron and seeing the fit and the potential they had combined together that made him decide. In retrospect GS really was the only choice. It just so happened they won 73 games that year and was on the cusp of a championship. But this year proved he can go to a team as great as that and take over. No piggy backing
kal_vin Nobody said KD had to return to OKC. But he could have joined any other team in the nba other than GSW or Cle and people would have been ok with the move. Personally if he had gone to San Antonio, Houston, or Boston he would have also had a great team around him but he would have turned them into true title contenders.
Whenever a momma is around, Stephen A Smith becomes the weakest host in tv history. Makes me wonder how Stephen A be if Jay Cutler's momma joined the desk..
No matter what, 90s NBA is still the golden era and to me the most joyful to watch, where all the superstars stick to what they have and work their way up instead of doing cheap love like joining the stronger forces. 90s players deserve more respect.
Cam Mara yeah I've called it an arms race since Lebron came back to Cleveland. Warriors upgraded and now wherever Lebron goes will do the same thing to compete with them. That or they'll just keep losing.
I guess Charles Barkley wasn't ring chasing when he joined up with Hakeem in Houston. I guess Malone and Payton weren't ring chasing when they joined up with the Lakers. Or KG and Ray Allen in Boston. Of course people ring chase that's what this whole thing is about!
Gabriel Cowan I could use Moses Malone or how about when wilt went to the Lakers the most dominant player at the time went to join the fucking logo and Elgin Baylor how about Barkley forcing a trade to the rockets the move had has been done the only difference is that the warriors won 73 games
LOL Damian Lizard really said that. Then complained they were a superteazm when he got swept. Funny how all of a sudden they are a "superteam". Last i herd was drayman was overrated curry didn't deserve the MVP in any of the years and was "just a shooter" and KD can't beat lebron. And Since y'all say this is the 73-9 team that Durrant joined. LBJ and the Faggaleirs lost to a team that blew a 3-1 lead lol
It's not KD's job/responsibility/obligation to make the league more "competitive." He had an opportunity in front of him to get the things he wants in life, and that's what EVERY MAN should do. When you pass on opportunities because of the wrong reasons _(e.g., peer pressure, public opinion, etc.),_ then you're giving away the limited amount of power/control you have to direct your life where you want it to go. In other words, you lose in the game of life.
Brandon Daniels what?? Bruh at the end of the day he just sold out...the whole point of basketball is competition like thats like saying Allen Iverson going to the Lakers when they lost in 2001....so you telling me its not his job to make the league more competitive...i mean everyone wants a ring but they want it in the right way...you cant be no sellout like KD and take the easy way out...people still gonna look at this nigga like he had to go to GSW to win a ring like come on now...the game of life really that nigga was desperate to win a ring instead of staying on OKC because he couldve win with them if he had stayed...
Again, KD has no obligation to make decisions about his own life just to make you or anyone else feel good inside. Personally, I wanted him to stay in OKC b/cI really thought he had a shot to make it to the finals with Westbrook. But, I still applaud him for making the decision that he thought was best even though it would upset a lot of people. And, if you want to react emotionally to a decision he made to reach his goals, then that's really just your problem.
ImSwagless Beast you're acting like dude hasn't been competing for the past 10 years.... He's one of the hardest working dudes to ever play in the NBA... If anything dude shouldn't be responsible for how competitive the league is, other players should be working hard as hell busting they ass trying get better
Hanz C aand why would you take the hardest path to success? like, what? KD was successful in OKC anyway, the team may not have been but making millions and leasing the league in scoring sounds pretty successful to me
I've been the biggest KD fan since 2011 when I started watching the NBA and last night was perfect for me. I cried like a baby when he bent over at half court, this is the first time in 25 years favourite my team or player won the Championship in any sport (NBA, NFL, NHL, MLB). It didn't happen the way I imagined it (winning with harden and Westbrook in OKC) but last night was still a magical night for me. Congratulations Kevin you did it my man
MaRio cause SAS didn't wanna disrespect her like tht beside she was dumb asf cause she said Paul Pierce joined Boston like bitch he been in Boston get your facts str8
MaRio not really FAM he didn't join Boston who beat him so he wouldn't go to the finals he went to Miami where it was Dwayne Wade then they signed bosh if u get wht I'm saying... like the difference is Kd went to a team tht was a Championship team while Lebron went to Miami when they was tryna sign some stars... u understand me now
Chris Ringer aye he went to Cleveland to bring his hometown a tittle now I'm letting u know the Cavs were terrible OK then lebron was like lets trade Wiggins for love still different things from kd did
That “sorry” made me cringe harder than I’ve ever cringe before… props to Stephen A for standing his ground and handling everything like a class act as always.
I hate this constant comparison between Lebron going to Miami and using that to justify KD to Golden state......just ask yourself a simple question, if u take Lebron off the heat do they make it to the finals and win it? NO! If u take KD off the Warriors do they make it to the finals and possibly win? Hell YEAH! So just stop w/ the comparisons......
Abdul .H agreed on the 1st one but if KD wasn't on then GS woulda had to fight harder not to mention they woulda had a harder time against the Spurs even wit the injury
Not only that, but he choked away a 3-1 lead over the supposed best team ever. If they got swept, it would've been different. But they basically beat down that team. In my mind they beat them and then basically choked, so I don't even consider the Warriors a really great team. Because we certainly don't consider that OKC team, to be an all time great team. Nor do we consider the Cavs who eventually won to be all time. This years team is very good, but IMO wouldn't have beaten Shaq and Kobe. No defense for Shaq. They would deplete the bench with fouls. Shooting bad 3's wouldn't matter. Plus that team could defend pretty well. I don't see this as the same as Lebron mainly for the reasons I stated. Lebron's move was weak, but we now know it fits who he is. He's not a Jordan or Kobe type player. He is unique, but not as mentally tough.
Hold the phone, LeBron James going to the Heat was NOTHING compared to KD to GS. Kevin Durant was already amazing, going to a record-breaking, history making 73-9 team. A team that he was tearing apart, and then blew it! LeBron James' Cavs couldn't even make it a past the 1st round of the play-offs, and the Heat at the time were 47-35, not 73-9! So he said I'm going to Miami for me, and then once the Cleveland rebuilds, I'm going back to bring back a championship to this city... WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT HE DID! He didn't go back on his word like Durant. Period(Spurs fan)
KD never said he was going to bring a championship to OKC lol he wasn't born in OKC, wasn't drafted by OKC, and doesn't owe OKC anything. He chose to leave for a better place, better team, and better franchise and future for his career.
Wayne Nobody said what KD did was wrong, but it was a very weak move. A move so weak that it will prevent KD from even being considered a GOAT or top 5 all time even if he wins 10 more championships with curry, klay and co.
Not exactly sure what SAS is apologizing for, his point that he didnt like that he went to the team that beat him the year before made sense. I dont understand his point about it affecting the competitive balance, but either way dude stick to your guns and try not to bend over too much, good grief everyone is so sensitive these days.
Lakers got beat by Boston before they won, Magic did not leave. Boston was finally beaten by Piston, Bird did not leave. Jordan was beaten by Boston many times did not leave. That is why
adolf jr Heat/Cavs had the best team assembled out East and no other team had that and we didn't hear any LBJ fans bitch about it. As soon as he faced and lost to GS it's all "omg it's not fair", y'all dudes were loving it when LBJ was running through the East though.
gman dog6 being the favorite and being unbeatable is a difference. Yes the Heat were always the favorite but let's not act as if Indiana were easy to get by for the Heat. The Heat were a beatable team.
the league doesn't have enough talent to spread across 30 teams as it is. having 2 of the top 3 players in the NBA on one team MOST definitely makes it lopsided. super teams are nothing new, but never has it been to this extreme.
stephen a smith argues that KD's move to the warriors is weak, because it shows KD is not confident enough to win without forming a super team. KD's mom thinks stephen A smith is saying the KD isn't good enough. stephen a smith absolutely thinks he's good enough, which is why he argues it's a weak move. they's not on the same page. i agree with both of them. they aren't conflicting.
I agree. This playoffs was atrocious. I used to spend the 1st Saturday and Sunday of the playoffs watching every game. This year I couldn't have cared any less. I watched, but was terribly unimpressed. The league is really stinking to high heaven right now, and the more super teams that are formed the worse it will get. Along with the analytics guys saying everyone should shoot 3's, is actually hurting the game. Steph and Klay are meant for the GSW system, other teams should play to the strengths of their talent. Remember when everyone thought it was impossible to beat the Shaq and Kobe Lakers without a very good big. Well they got blasted by a team with a 6'9" undrafted center. Hopefully teams will wisen up and not continue to be copycats.
His mother's beautiful he looks just like her you can tell she got her son back mother's love always show on their child I see it and Kevin the way he looks at his mom .
Every mom's in the world will protect their children no matter what. Mothers always there for their children ❤. Stepehen said, i'm sorry 🙈. Momma accept that apology ❤.
Marc NY when you're a grown-ass man and you let your mother fight your professional battles for you, that's shameful. I could see if the media was attacking his parents/siblings/kids/whomever and she felt the need to say something, then it's personal and she's got a right to say something. He doesn't have to say ish then. But my parents would NEVER stick their nose in my professional business...because they know I could handle it myself. He's showing himself to be a puss who can't handle criticism. Trying to get your mom to be a quasi-celebrity because it's "beneath" you to say anything. GTFOH. The only reason professional sports has any type of money is because of media exposure, advertisements and endorsement deals. How about you go to professional lacrosse or billiards if you don't like the attention then. Handle it like a man. Fire back.
How is she fighting his professional battles for him? I didn't see her out on the court last night punking Lesoft James play after play after play did you?
Wayne yeah I could. When you got 4 superstars there's allot more to worry about the just guarding steph and klay draymond Now you throw kd in mix and now you have it as easy as it could be
I am glad he fix what he said about the real king KD. Everyone or players in the NBA would like to make a smart move like real king KD did. Smart man for life.
..... What are all the bandwagons talking about in the background? KD's move was EXTREMELY weak! You can absolutely not compare LeBron's move with KD's, here's why. LeBron went to Miami because Celtics kept taking out his cavs. He joined wades team to destroy and win OVER the Celtics. LeBron DID NOT join the Celtics to get an easy weak ring. KD though! He joined THE TEAM that won over him instead of joining a team TO win over the team that won over him. That is why Kevin Durant is a WEAK player. He is still great and I respect that, but he is a weak man for doing something like that.... leaving Russ too..

Lebron > Durant. Durant could do whatever the fuck he wanted when he has two of the best shooters in NBA history and the DPOY alongside him. Not to mention a bench unit which by itself could make the play-offs.
Lebron had to do more when all he had was Kyrie Irving. All his additional help was inconsistent all series. Where the fuck was Kevin Love?

Yeah. But she is right though. Pierce and Ray Allen with KG. They took over, then Lebron to the Heat with Wade and Bosh took over the East.
NubaStyle UrbanWear I think what he means is its not Pierce, its suppose to be Ray & KG going celtics.
Miami was barely a playoff team when Lebron went. It was lopsided because he himself made it lopsided
Night Lytt the end result was the same he went there and had a plan to get others there! So it's the same
Since this appearance, SAS has been on KD's nuts. Hasn't said 1 bad thing about him
facts he's scared of kd's mama lmao
So according to Mama Durant if Paul George or Jimmy Butler join the Cavaliers absolutely NO ONE can complain.
If we do get Paul George or Jimmy Butler, next years finals will be A HELL of a lot more competitive because Klay is a good two way player but talent wise Jimmy and Paul are better than him. Klay won't be able to score and guard them the whole time in a finals series.
Jimmy Butler and Paul George more talented than KD? How exactly?

Bruh at the end of the day he just sold out...the whole point of basketball is competition like thats like saying Allen Iverson going to the Lakers when they lost in 2001....so you telling me its not his job to make the league more competitive...i mean everyone wants a ring but they want it in the right way...you cant be no sellout like KD and take the easy way out...people still gonna look at this nigga like he had to go to GSW to win a ring like come on now...the game of life really that nigga was desperate to win a ring instead of staying on OKC because he couldve win with them if he had stayed...
Again, KD has no obligation to make decisions about his own life just to make you or anyone else feel good inside. Personally, I wanted him to stay in OKC b/cI really thought he had a shot to make it to the finals with Westbrook. But, I still applaud him for making the decision that he thought was best even though it would upset a lot of people. And, if you want to react emotionally to a decision he made to reach his goals, then that's really just your problem.
ImSwagless Beast you're acting like dude hasn't been competing for the past 10 years.... He's one of the hardest working dudes to ever play in the NBA... If anything dude shouldn't be responsible for how competitive the league is, other players should be working hard as hell busting they ass trying get better
Brandon Daniels you my friend deserve a fucking W
Hanz C aand why would you take the hardest path to success? like, what? KD was successful in OKC anyway, the team may not have been but making millions and leasing the league in scoring sounds pretty successful to me
I've been the biggest KD fan since 2011 when I started watching the NBA and last night was perfect for me. I cried like a baby when he bent over at half court, this is the first time in 25 years favourite my team or player won the Championship in any sport (NBA, NFL, NHL, MLB). It didn't happen the way I imagined it (winning with harden and Westbrook in OKC) but last night was still a magical night for me. Congratulations Kevin you did it my man
Imagine Skip Bayless up there…”Mama Durant, you know this was a weak move, I’ve never seen anything quite like it”
She must’ve got an allergic reaction to stephen A😂
stfu😂😂
2:13 SHE SPOKE FACTS AND SAS DIDNT HAVE A COME BACK TO THAT HAHAHAHAHAHA
MaRio cause SAS didn't wanna disrespect her like tht beside she was dumb asf cause she said Paul Pierce joined Boston like bitch he been in Boston get your facts str8
Selloutgod2k broke boy she spoke facts fam. Lebron started it.
MaRio not really FAM he didn't join Boston who beat him so he wouldn't go to the finals he went to Miami where it was Dwayne Wade then they signed bosh if u get wht I'm saying... like the difference is Kd went to a team tht was a Championship team while Lebron went to Miami when they was tryna sign some stars... u understand me now
+Selloutgod2k broke boy Cool u right so we gonna look over the fact that Bron did it twice going back to Cleveland
Chris Ringer aye he went to Cleveland to bring his hometown a tittle now I'm letting u know the Cavs were terrible OK then lebron was like lets trade Wiggins for love still different things from kd did
That “sorry” made me cringe harder than I’ve ever cringe before… props to Stephen A for standing his ground and handling everything like a class act as always.
I hate this constant comparison between Lebron going to Miami and using that to justify KD to Golden state......just ask yourself a simple question, if u take Lebron off the heat do they make it to the finals and win it? NO! If u take KD off the Warriors do they make it to the finals and possibly win? Hell YEAH! So just stop w/ the comparisons......
Abdul .H agreed on the 1st one but if KD wasn't on then GS woulda had to fight harder not to mention they woulda had a harder time against the Spurs even wit the injury
Not only that, but he choked away a 3-1 lead over the supposed best team ever. If they got swept, it would've been different. But they basically beat down that team. In my mind they beat them and then basically choked, so I don't even consider the Warriors a really great team. Because we certainly don't consider that OKC team, to be an all time great team. Nor do we consider the Cavs who eventually won to be all time. This years team is very good, but IMO wouldn't have beaten Shaq and Kobe. No defense for Shaq. They would deplete the bench with fouls. Shooting bad 3's wouldn't matter. Plus that team could defend pretty well. I don't see this as the same as Lebron mainly for the reasons I stated. Lebron's move was weak, but we now know it fits who he is. He's not a Jordan or Kobe type player. He is unique, but not as mentally tough.
Abdul .H Ugh they don't make it to shit if you don't sub for Bogut and Barnes.
Nah its different styles of play and different coaching. Bron is not a system player, but KD can do either system or individual style basketball.
John Doe lebron's road wasn't easy conpared to KD. The Teams that lebron fought had always 4 superstars In heat they're only 3
I'm a cavs fan but man I love momma Durant😂😂😂
Durants mum came prepared at 2:20 😃 Stephen A was surprised
Hold the phone, LeBron James going to the Heat was NOTHING compared to KD to GS. Kevin Durant was already amazing, going to a record-breaking, history making 73-9 team. A team that he was tearing apart, and then blew it! LeBron James' Cavs couldn't even make it a past the 1st round of the play-offs, and the Heat at the time were 47-35, not 73-9! So he said I'm going to Miami for me, and then once the Cleveland rebuilds, I'm going back to bring back a championship to this city... WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT HE DID! He didn't go back on his word like Durant. Period(Spurs fan)
umm LeBron never lost in the first round. the cavs just couldn't get passed the ecf and 2nd round
KD never said he was going to bring a championship to OKC lol he wasn't born in OKC, wasn't drafted by OKC, and doesn't owe OKC anything. He chose to leave for a better place, better team, and better franchise and future for his career.
Wayne Nobody said what KD did was wrong, but it was a very weak move. A move so weak that it will prevent KD from even being considered a GOAT or top 5 all time even if he wins 10 more championships with curry, klay and co.
RaphCanCrash 65 u $ound stupid the heat har four all stars are u smoking
Clutch Master do your research dummy
In all fairness he was consistent on everything he said about KD he always made it about basketball
Steve A was acting like his namesake Steve Urkel with his hand in his mouth, first few seconds of the clip.....😅
Not exactly sure what SAS is apologizing for, his point that he didnt like that he went to the team that beat him the year before made sense. I dont understand his point about it affecting the competitive balance, but either way dude stick to your guns and try not to bend over too much, good grief everyone is so sensitive these days.
Magic, Bird, Jordan, Kobe, Never jump team to go win a championship; especially their foe!
Lakers got beat by Boston before they won, Magic did not leave. Boston was finally beaten by Piston, Bird did not leave. Jordan was beaten by Boston many times did not leave. That is why
AcctNo4 well those people were able to bring there team to a championship unlike KD
Jerome s but,rasheed wallac,clyde drexler,gary payton,rick fox,mark aguire,bill walton,lebron james,chris bosch,ray allen did bro .
Which one of the players you mention was ever consider the GOAT? 0
Jerome S erm lebron James.
the difference between lebron and kd move is that lebron formed a superteam. kd already joined a super team
True it's not like lebron joined a team who came off being 73-9 the season prior
I don't even like Lebron but that's 100% true
Het Patel You’re god damn right.
Facts
Kevin Durant is a mamas boy.. lol..
kinggrimlock35 and
kinggrimlock35 and most of y'all on here are. Who is paying for your internet and phone bills??
gsgaga sdgsdgsa probably not. I'm assuming most of them are under 23.
adam chace everyone has a dad; but usually they're pieces of shit.
adam chace He does have a dad
"Was the East lopsided when Lebron went to Miami"?
*YES*
Isaiah Boulware not really. the only difference between okc vs mia was experience.
adolf jr No it was lopsided. And the cavs made the east lopsided. If kd stayed in okc, cavs still going 12-1
Isaiah Boulware Any team lebron joins will make the league lopsided
adolf jr
Heat/Cavs had the best team assembled out East and no other team had that and we didn't hear any LBJ fans bitch about it.
As soon as he faced and lost to GS it's all "omg it's not fair", y'all dudes were loving it when LBJ was running through the East though.
gman dog6 being the favorite and being unbeatable is a difference. Yes the Heat were always the favorite but let's not act as if Indiana were easy to get by for the Heat. The Heat were a beatable team.
The way SAS looked back when dude said say your sorry is hella funny 😂😂😂
That was the weakest move by a commentator in commentating history
It sure was
her laugh is amazing lol
4:34 “say your sorry” HAHAHAHAHA LMAO
Wanda, stay in yo lane
LOL greatest line ever
the league doesn't have enough talent to spread across 30 teams as it is. having 2 of the top 3 players in the NBA on one team MOST definitely makes it lopsided. super teams are nothing new, but never has it been to this extreme.
This proves that KD is underpaid or the rest of the superstars are overpaid.
bluetarget lol then that supports her argument. Ain't no ones fault the league ain't developing and scouting better talent.
stephen a smith argues that KD's move to the warriors is weak, because it shows KD is not confident enough to win without forming a super team. KD's mom thinks stephen A smith is saying the KD isn't good enough. stephen a smith absolutely thinks he's good enough, which is why he argues it's a weak move. they's not on the same page. i agree with both of them. they aren't conflicting.
I agree. This playoffs was atrocious. I used to spend the 1st Saturday and Sunday of the playoffs watching every game. This year I couldn't have cared any less. I watched, but was terribly unimpressed. The league is really stinking to high heaven right now, and the more super teams that are formed the worse it will get. Along with the analytics guys saying everyone should shoot 3's, is actually hurting the game. Steph and Klay are meant for the GSW system, other teams should play to the strengths of their talent. Remember when everyone thought it was impossible to beat the Shaq and Kobe Lakers without a very good big. Well they got blasted by a team with a 6'9" undrafted center. Hopefully teams will wisen up and not continue to be copycats.
Stephen A smith always had a soft spot for mothers because of the love he has for his 🙏🏽
WORST MOVE IN NBA FINALS HISTORY
Kd joined A mvp and 2 all stars, Lebron joined just 2 all stars. On top of that Kd join a 73-9 team, Lebron joined just a decent team.
lebron carried all three teams that he has taken to the finals
Put some respect on D wade he was a finals mvp too
@@gwarfanatik 2006 nba finals was rigged
Man.. He have his mom deal with his critics lol
KD's mom is the new Riley.
LOL goat comment
Red Hood 😂😂😂😂
Congrats KD! Well deserved
You see Stephen biting his finger nails when the clip started 😂😂😂.
Stephen A must've been like "damn this is awkward" 😂
Stephen trying to smash
He did
150 Dream Team lmaooooooo
150 Dream Team lmao
150 Dream Team lol
LMFAO!!!!! I knew I was going to find some funny ass comments
its nice to see mama's supporting their sons like this.
You know what's rare?
A quiet black lady
Do u no de way? You know what’s rare
This dead ass meme
Do u no de way? Ffs😂
You know what's not rare? Racist classes white people like you.
I see now where KD gets her soft genes from...
Nothing wrong with that lol
She mad sensitive like KD
Stephen A is like Oh my god what am i going to say is the reasoning behind what ive said
KD's mom LeBron's mom & Curry's mom should start their own big 3 team
#WandaDurantMVP
REMINDER: Stephen Curry's Mom is still GOAT
You still cant deny how good of a player K.D is. He is still a champion and you can't take that away from him.
you could say what you want but KD SHOWED UP HE DIDN'T RIDE ALONG HE LEAD THEM TO THE TITLE
Can't believe this was 3 years ago. Felt like yesterday
We'll deal with it all Superstar can do anything what they want? In this lifetime!!! No one cares about competition at all?
His mother's beautiful he looks just like her you can tell she got her son back mother's love always show on their child I see it and Kevin the way he looks at his mom .
I love her laugh 💛
Ever since mama Durant checked him he don’t want to accept no one else as the best player in the world 😭
Exactly he’s a 🍆 rider
Every mom's in the world will protect their children no matter what. Mothers always there for their children ❤.
Stepehen said, i'm sorry 🙈.
Momma accept that apology ❤.
Kd needs to stand up and be a man.Stop letting your mom fight your battle. She know it was a weak move thats why she so bothered about it.
Carolyn Puckett why y'all act like mothers are second class citizens?
Marc NY when you're a grown-ass man and you let your mother fight your professional battles for you, that's shameful. I could see if the media was attacking his parents/siblings/kids/whomever and she felt the need to say something, then it's personal and she's got a right to say something. He doesn't have to say ish then. But my parents would NEVER stick their nose in my professional business...because they know I could handle it myself.
He's showing himself to be a puss who can't handle criticism. Trying to get your mom to be a quasi-celebrity because it's "beneath" you to say anything. GTFOH. The only reason professional sports has any type of money is because of media exposure, advertisements and endorsement deals. How about you go to professional lacrosse or billiards if you don't like the attention then. Handle it like a man. Fire back.
How is she fighting his professional battles for him? I didn't see her out on the court last night punking Lesoft James play after play after play did you?
franmicgom what game were you watching ? Lmao
Carolyn Puckett You really think KD cares about what y'all fucks say, He's a champion while y'all are bitching about him on a TH-cam's comment section
who would turn down the warriors**
Bruh Stephen A. Smith finally made the right NBA Finals prediction.
I respect warrior fans that where fans before 2015 other than tht u can smd
Love that lady! #Warriors #Warriors
KD went to a team that had won the championship 12 months prior so that core was still put together when left OKC
KD's Mom > Lavar Ball
Mitra Sinergi Sukses honestly anyone over lavars loud ass🤣🤣
Fusion moment
Y'all justifying what KD did? on my mama y'all better not say shit if LeBron put together a justice league
Eddie Perkins He gone have too 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Eddie Perkins Facts😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
old man lebron
Mama wanna smack you wit dat purse 👜 😂😂😂😂
tbh.....
durant used superstars to win a title
You can deny his ring, but you can't deny his performance.
Wayne yeah I could. When you got 4 superstars there's allot more to worry about the just guarding steph and klay draymond Now you throw kd in mix and now you have it as easy as it could be
Wayne Porto
Poetic
So did lebron miami
Mvp J Ima agree but lebron didn't join the team that beat him and lebron went back to Cleveland to win a ring
all she had to say was: look at your hairline
I am glad he fix what he said about the real king KD. Everyone or players in the NBA would like to make a smart move like real king KD did. Smart man for life.
..... What are all the bandwagons talking about in the background? KD's move was EXTREMELY weak! You can absolutely not compare LeBron's move with KD's, here's why. LeBron went to Miami because Celtics kept taking out his cavs. He joined wades team to destroy and win OVER the Celtics. LeBron DID NOT join the Celtics to get an easy weak ring. KD though! He joined THE TEAM that won over him instead of joining a team TO win over the team that won over him. That is why Kevin Durant is a WEAK player. He is still great and I respect that, but he is a weak man for doing something like that.... leaving Russ too..
Mama KD has nothing about this to do. She better be quiet then talking against facts! Please she is only making problems. She don't know basketball.
