“Lakers Anyone with half of a brain for basketball would see Luke is the right fit for the Lakers. Luke, himself, is a young coach still learning. To compare Luke when he coached the 73-9 warriors with three future HOF players on the team to Luke with the Lakers is fucking out of line.”

As a 'black man,' Durant wonders where he'd be if he didn't play basketball
Kevin Durant is recognized as an NBA superstar for the Golden State Warriors by millions worldwide. When he looks at himself in the mirror, though, the former league Most Valuable Player sees a "black man," which is an identity Durant now views in an entirely different light.Talking to The Mercury News' Logan Murdock, Durant discussed race, and how he would be perceived were he not a basketball player - a job title which has protected him from the trials and tribulations other minorities around him have gone through:Finally waking up, to be honest. Just kind of seeing how rough it is for an average black man, you know what I'm saying? And on top of that, a black man makes one mistake … I see how far we get pushed down. For me, I kind of grew up in this basketball world, whereas my talent kind of overrides what I look like.I didn't have it as rough when it comes to that, as far as social or systematic oppression or any social issues. They didn't really apply to me because I could put a ball in a basket. Just me saying that kind of woke me up a little bit, like "Damn, that's all I'm good for?" Like, if I wasn't a basketball player, what kind of man would they look at me as, you know what I'm saying?In terms of what value can I bring to you outside of playing basketball. I bring a lot of value to people as far as how I treat them, how I encourage them, how I just try to be a good person to them. I feel there's like a lot of black men that have those traits, but they often just get stereotyped or judged off of one incident or not given a second chance.So if I find something that's empowering to people that look like me, I just try to send a subtle message that I got your back and I hear you and I try to inspire you as much as I can from just being in this world as a black man coming up, even though I was looked at and viewed a little differently for it. But I'm still a black man. I understand where you're coming from.Durant brought up how close friends of his would get into trouble on the streets, and deal with drugs and other illegal activity, adding that his mother grew up in that world, as did his brother. The fact that he played basketball, though, helped keep him away from that environment, since he was always honing his craft.Had basketball not been there, Durant wonders what his life would have looked like. "I didn't have it as rough when it comes to that, as far as social or systematic oppression or any social issues. They didn't really apply to me because I could put a ball in a basket," Durant added. "Just me saying that kind of woke me up a little bit, like, 'Damn, that's all I'm good for?' Like, if I wasn't a basketball player, what kind of man would they look at me as, you know what I'm saying?"

Hello & Cheers!! I'm a content detection and information bot. You are receiving this reply because a short link or links have been detected in your post/comment. The purpose of this message is to inform your readers and yourself about the use of and dangers of short links.
To the readers of the post: Short links are provided by url shortening services. The short links they provide can be useful in some cases. Generally their use is benign. But as with all useful tools there are dangers. Short links can be used to hide all sorts of things. Quite frequently they are used to hide referral links for instance. While not dangerous this can be deceptive. They can also be used to hide dangerous links such as links to phishing sites, sites loaded with malware, scam sites, etc. You should always be extremely cautious before clicking on one. If you don't know and trust the poster don't click. Even if you do you should still be cautious and wary of any site you are sent to. It's always better to visit the site directly and not through a short link.
To the author of the post: While short links may be useful on some sites they are not needed on steemit. You can use markdown to format your links such as this link to steemit. It's as simple as
[steemit](https://steemit.com)Unlike short links this allows the reader to see where they are going by simply hovering over the link before they click on it.
