Nothing to do with white players, but worth remarking for sure: Kevin Durant is apparently demanding a trade away from the Brooklyn Nets. The oft-injured 34-yr old is in the decline of his career (obviously), has FOUR years left on his contract, but most wildly of all, he apparently intends to force this trade only to either Miami or Phoenix! Neither team can really proffer a commensurate package, so it remains to be seen how the Nets will respond to the demands of this poooor little rich boy, this spoiled baby, this bum. I don't feel bad for the Nets, but they cashed out their future to surround this guy with players: some busted, some were injured, one forced a trade already (Harden), one said he was too emotionally unstable to play any basketball (Simmons), and Kyrie Irving was required to miss 3/4 of the season due to the flu hoax! None of that abdicates Durant from his responsibilities as franchise-face and team leader, though. I keep thinking to myself, "ok, THIS will be the nail that wakes up fans against the NBA!" but in reality, no sports consumer is the least bit self-aware.
