KD Not Amused at Manning's Attempt at Humor
- Thread starter KYtotheCore
- Start date
That and among a dozen of other things.. Yes. I listed them out. FFS the Colts didn't want him!
So what about Cal leaving Memphis for Kentucky? I'm guessing that's different too.
Good grief, give it a rest man. Everyone on this board can clearly see how Peyton's and KD's situations/decisions are different. You're just arguing for the sake of it. It's evident.
Peyton Manning is one of the classiest individuals to ever play professional sports. KD has shown he is a hell of a basketball player and a pretty stand up guy, but if you can't admit he took a much easier road than Peyton (again, not even remotely comparable) you're on your own there.
I have zero beef with either though, they want to win and they have done just that. Good for them.
I don't know if KD sitting there moping was scripted or not. May well have been. But either way, it made the joke way funnier.
Eh, KD is a beta on tier one, so he's always trying to appear tougher than he really is.
Westbrook is a smug ahole, always has been. Not suprised at all in his response. One of the worst attitudes on a player I've ever seen.
What a nothing story.

For those interested, I'm told Kevin Durant was in on the Peyton Manning gymanistic team roast at #ESPYS2017. KD played his part well
No, he was not. It was scripted. http://www.sportingnews.com/nba/new...joke-warriors-video/8ypqejet9jm11bjo1ggbr1r1j
Good grief man, stop whining like a bitch. If you dont like the post ignore it. I guess you can say Cal took the easy way out by leaving Memphis for Kentucky too. Funny how thats different when it's you or your guy. My whole point is stop picking and choosing which guys are allowed to move to other teams and which ones aren't. Everyone can play wherever they want, all this whining about teaming up is hater stuff. Putting yourself in the best situation to win will never be a bad thing no matter how many nonsense unwritten rules you guys make up.
I guess he would have known about it. Still doesn't make sense why he would sit stone faced... but if that's what they were going for, good job guys?
If anyone wants to suggest that Peyton didn't ride the coat tails of his defense in super bowl 50 then you have no knowledge of football. He was throwing up wounded ducks the whole last half of that season. It just so happened he had von Miller and Demarcus ware rushing the passer with Talib locking down the best WR.
I didn't see many fans or journalists giving Manning any credit for that win.
It's utterly shocking how so many people couldn't tell this was obviously scripted and KD and Russ were in on it. Russ even had to cover his mouth to keep from smiling. The real joke is on the rubes that thought it was real. Particularly those that were actually arguing it. Lmao. Jesus.
One is a college basketball coach, the other is a pro football player.. so yes, it is different.
Look I'm not saying that Peyton didn't see a better situation and pounce on it. But you can't say what he did, and how he did it, is the same as KD.
sometimes...you just Reeeeeeaccch so far...
again....keep reaching
then when it gets worse, start insulting other posters...
edit: I see that already started
LoL. You show up AFTER it's tweeted that it was scripted to tell us how smart you are. Clown show.
Oh, I guarantee you were super mad when a dude you have nothing to do with went to another team that you have nothing to do with either.
None of these comparisons are ever exactly the same, one is a basketball player, one is a football player. The concept is the same though. If you whine about KD joining the Warriors, whine about Cal joining UK. When it comes to your personal self, you will always choose the option that will make you the happiest and bring you the most success. No one stays at their first job and tries to make a career of it, we all move on to bigger and better things which is ok... unless you're an athlete.

Please tell me that what you mean is that he is your favorite player DESPITE the fact he attended the University of Tennessee.
For instance, Grant Hill is one of my favorite NBA players despite the fact he was a Dukie.
KD is a diva.. no doubt in my mind but so are almost all rich athletes. And no disrespect to Manning, who is an all time great for sure, but the Broncos won the SB in spite of him not because of him. he couldn't throw the ball 20 yards with any zip. The Broncos defense won the game..
Loved Manning as a player...towards the top of my list. But he may have given his best performance last night! Durant needs to move on...
Manning was a better football player than Durant is a basketball player
Good lord is this ever a ridiculous comparison.
Are you forgetting that Peyton was waived by the Colts? He did not choose to leave. He was forced to leave.
That is the precise opposite of Durant's situation in OKC last year.
This is why I'm glad Tubby stopped recruiting KD when he said he grew up watching UK and wanted to be recruited. Tubby saw what we all saw last night.
Said no one

I would have never guessed they would tell KD to act mad though. Just brought a bunch more hate for the poor guy lol. Just a weird thing to stage imo
I had no idea this thread was going to go sideways . . .
You must be new.
Best post of the thread.

The rationale behind the KD and the anti Warrior hate around here sounds as sophomoric as the same ish spewed by UL fans about UK for the last 9 years.
That.. I'm not sure of. Tough debate because football positions are so cut and dry. For Durant to essentially have guard abilities at 7' is absurd. On top of that he's a great defensive player.
What.. seriously? The concept is not the same because the stakes and parameters are different.
Kentucky is coming off of an NIT year when Cal moved over (he had to leave Memphis anyways). How the hell do you equate that to Durant joining a team that just made history? I get that both guys took the next step forwards, to be happy, realize their dream, etc. etc. etc.. But Cal had to work for this. Manning had to work for his. Durant saw easy street.
This is a horrifically bad take, man.
