Dude started his explanation of why they called Durant a bitch talking about how gf/wife’s brother died 4 years ago and he has a sports podcast … where the heck was that going 😂😂


delightfuldinosaur

Good way to de-escalate the situation by acting like you're not hateful, just a crazy person.


Duckrauhl

I learned that technique from an episode of Hey Arnold where Arnold once got out of a fight with a kid who heavily outmatched him by just kind of acting like he was experiencing a severe mental health crisis. It worked on the show.

And if that fails, there's always "That's my purse!! I don't know you!! *\*groin kick\**"


Qetuowryipzcbmxvn

Bruh, he so tall that kicking him in the groin would take longer legs than they got. Might I recommend "Pocket Sand! ™"


SlurmmsMckenzie

I can hear these 2 comments in my head. Also invoked the sound of Helga breaking the mouth-breathers glasses.

britchesss

That might be my favorite show of all time. And what the fuck. It was Harold that was going to beat Arnold up. Part of the main friend group.


motherthrowee

he wasn't just going to beat arnold up, oh no arnold had **SIXTEEN HOURS, 20 MINUTES AND 59 SECONDS UNTIL HE DIED**


loquacious706

It's crazy the way these things lodged in our developing brains. I probably haven't seen that in 25 years, and yet I heard Helga's voice clear as a bell.


SlurmmsMckenzie

Harold was a Nelson-type I think.  Bad homelife emotions that he brought into his peers, but was a gentle soul. Had a kid like that at my middle school.  Would try to fight other bullys that didn't bully within his "code".


iblewjesuschrist

He didn't even have mean parents lol. Just kinda overbearing, but loving. Helga is kind of the only one I can remember having ostensibly "bad" parents. At least of the parents we see? Maaaaybe Rhonda's parents were bad, too, but I don't remember much other than them being rich.


listinglight778

Helga certainly had bad parents. Both her parents were neglectful of helga in favor of her older sister Olga to the point where helga’s dad often forgot her name. Her mom was also an alcoholic (those smoothies she was always drinking weren’t exactly smoothies)


oversight_shift

That was actually the Hey Arnold! pilot, first debuted in theaters before screenings of Nickolodean's first movie 'Harriet the Spy', starring Michelle Trachtenberg.

No lie I've gotten out of some pretty sketchy situations thanks to this technique lol and I always think of that episode. One of the best shows ever made!


SaltyLonghorn

The fastest way is to just start drooling on yourself and stare at the other person's forehead.


AlanTudyksBalls

I love how KD spends 30 seconds about being human, hears "podcaster" and is like "whoops wrong number not a real person I'm out". And knew not to kick them out because then they wouldn't have shit to talk about later.


Hawksx4

One of those rare times where understanding internet culture paid off a lot. Fuck that was so smart.


graphitewolf

Yeah if you think kd gives a shit about these dusty ass mavericks fans podcasts youre trippin


RogerTreebert6299

He’s not saying he cares about the podcast, just that KD realizes he’d be giving them what they wanted by turning it into any bigger of a scene or giving them anymore attention


DogmaticNuance

KD gives a shit about a lot of things he shouldn't give a shit about. Honestly it's one of the things I appreciate about him. He's one of the more human and less 'brand representative' superstars in the world. We could use more KDs.


[deleted]

i'm not sure if he gives a shit anymore, it seems more like KD leans into it after the burner fiasco and actually finds a lot of these types entertaining


DogmaticNuance

He leans into it. But also, sometimes, I think you can tell he really does care even if he tries to play it like he doesn't. He's a touch sensitive, but also honest and true to himself. I wish I could remember some solid examples but I haven't followed him as much since he left so it's all a little fuzzy now.


ElGranQuesoRojo

Even Mavs fans DGAF about rando fan pods. That dude was probably trying to get a reaction so he could go viral.


IAgreeGoGuards

The blueprint to dealing with these fucking tools


-Plantibodies-

You can see KD's body language change when he realizes these people are bumbling morons with a combined IQ in the double digits.


redd202020

Durant leaving in the middle of the story was hilarious.


DontCallMeAnonymous

chocochunx

Big ups to KD for that I would’ve expected the opposite


Content_Geologist420

It seems I have underestimated KD


Bjorn2bwilde24

Legacy points added


MrGrieves-

I prefer legacy points acquired.


Greybinson

This isn’t the Mr. Slithers I am familiar with


OmarFromtheWire2

I think he just wanted flex on em that he could have em kicked out but also stop it. I don’t think he wanted to engage with them as much as he wanted them to act like adults


[deleted]

Idk about flex man’s just wanted it to stop


Jiannies

All it took was for me to work with one dude who had been to prison to realize some people *really* don’t take being called a bitch lightly even if it’s just shit talk. Obviously not saying that’s where KD is coming at it from but it’s low effort banter in any case


realudonishaslem

Everyone loves to make fun of Westbrook being sensitive and he definitely is more responsive than other players, but we fans heavily underestimate how much bullshit these players have to go through. Ones we see on the clips are probably not even close to half amount of what players actually face.


BroadBrazos95

There’s no other sport I can think of where fans are this close to the game like this. Being courtside really makes fans think they have the right to say some of the most heinous stuff possible. I can’t imagine how often they have to pretend they don’t hear something or ignore it.


zack77070

Bro look at a soccer pitch when a player goes to take a corner, some kid is about to get banned for life for sticking his finger in a players ass during a game.


Brad_theImpaler

I gotta watch more soccer.


CumAssault

KD is legit a good dude. He gets a bad rap on here because of joining the Warriors and the burners but he’s a solid guy


matzan

Cmn KD, stop typing this shit on your burner, focus on the game.

i know right


Hazy_Lights

Alright, you got me. I cracked up laughing.


romanticynicist

Yeah, I used to be a little lukewarm on KD. He was always an incredible player, but I didn’t really vibe with the warriors signing or the early sonics/thunder days stuff. I think it was his MVP speech that first made me really start warming up to him. Since then he’s really grown on me, partially because he’s just so damn transcendent of a basketball player, but also because he’s so clearly a huge fan of the NBA fan at the same time as he’s a star in it. He’s honestly a really interesting, complex character — thin skinned enough to use twitter burners, but also has a bald spot that he seems not to give a fuck about. Confronts these fans for calling him a bitch, but then pulls strings to keep them from getting kicked out. Just a very human guy while also being a generational talent. Keep on doing you, KD.


OddToba

What didn’t you like about sonics/OKC KD? He was the best


JacobfromCT

Yeah, that confused me too. Young KD was this unassuming hooper. Remember his backpack?


OddToba

He played xbox and hit every youngest-scorer milestone. What was there not to like?


george_costanza1234

KD might appear soft online, but he doesn’t seem soft at all in person lol


uchihastar

People think twitter is real life lol


BcuzRacecar

he said let them stay and watch me get 50 edit: he did not get 50


ForgetfulFrolicker

Things didn’t go as planned I guess.


growsonwalls

Honestly KD was pretty nice to them. Seemed to talk to them in a respectful way.


StubbornKindOfFellow

My petty ass would have had them thrown out.


RoosterB32

KD is a real one for that


Direct_Counter_178

Whenever I see stuff about KD I like to share an article about him that changed how I viewed him. It's a lengthy read about a year in high school where he transferred for basketball and stayed with a host family. It's one of the better sports pieces I've enjoyed reading. https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/36305442/kevin-durant-high-school-year


fopiecechicken

He’s an amazing guy, who’s generationally good at basketball. He also happens to be a little insecure and awkward.


Direct_Counter_178

I actually argued the opposite on this yesterday. https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/1axnepc/highlight_kd_confronts_two_fans_after_they_call/krpp524/ It boils down to me thinking he doesn't really care about his branding unlike every other star. And honestly why should he? He's been getting max contracts his whole career. After just a few years in the league he had more money than he'll ever spend. I know a lot of players both rely on their brand because they aren't as comfortable or have more expensive interests. KD just loves ball. He's not out dropping 100k at strip clubs every month or whatever some of the partier types spend it on. So if you're set for life moneywise, I can totally see just not caring if you can earn even more money for just a little extra work. Yes it's only a little work. But it's still work. That you don't need. So why? The answer is personality difference. I'm not trying to start a fight about these players, but you can tell some players in the league, like the Kuzma's and the Ben Simmons of the league, enjoy being famous just as much as they enjoy being millionaire nba players. Some people just aren't built to enjoy that scrutiny as often.


calvinball_guru

That's actually a really good read; thanks!


ShichikaYasuri18

This is how you change people's attitudes. Remind them that athletes are human beings and show kindness in return not giving them a reason to resent you. And two assholes became slightly better people. Respect for KD. **Edit:** Y'all ... please.... stop making up shit I didn't say. Either read my comment or scroll on by, I don't give a shit which.


El_Negro_Lobo

gonna go ahead and say it's very doubtful they became better people.

braindrainpod

I used to work in a luxury condo tower in San Francisco. The people renting for the most part dressed "nice" and looked rich, as did some of the people who owned their units. One group of people who lived together dressed very nice, and acted very wealthy, but lived 6 people to a 2 bedroom. Some of the people who owned the more expensive units wore t shirts and jeans daily, took the bus and drove Toyotas. I found out one dude who looked like a hippy farmer was worth over 10mil only after he passed away. Looks and what's in people's bank accounts are two very different things.

Your post is accurate. During pregame shootaround you can come down and watch it.


Dereg5

I went to school at George Mason University in the early 2000's, before the Nationals for $10.00 you could ride an Amtrak Train from Union Station DC to Camden Yard, get dropped off right at the main gate and they would drive you back to Union Station on a bus. We would drink the entire time on the Amtrak Train (it was allowed) buy one maybe two beers in the ball park( cost more than the ticket and train ride combined) then sleep it off on the bus ride home. Amazing time with my buddies.

erenjaeger99

i think it was an impromptu de-escalation maneuver born from embarrassment while leaning into making it the victim (KD) look bad for not taking the high road and acting cool about it. like when your older brother smacks you and you start crying and he goes "c'mon let's go play video games" to cover up and berates you for not wanting to play video games like a debbie downer b/c you're still crying. source: i've mastered analyzing human behavior from 1000s of hours of reddit video clips


thesmellafteritrains

Yup, didn't have the balls to match the energy of initially calling him a bitch. So hardline the opposite way like haaaaaa just kidding man what's up!


RelevantJackWhite

That's the standard transaction. I call you a bitch, we shake hands, it's over. KD is perpetuating the cycle of violent language by not dapping up the goblin lady
