Chapter 697: 486 Chapter Durant Doesn’t Want to Be Durant Anymore (Merge)_4 Chapter 697: 486 Chapter Durant Doesn’t Want to Be Durant Anymore (Merge)_4 “In my opinion, that’s why Frye is bound to surpass number 23, because he’s willing to sacrifice a great night to empower young players. He’s like KD’s lighthouse, guiding him forward. But without Brandon Roy, Frye would definitely be playing the point guard, and then we wouldn’t have witnessed that magical second half. Therefore, I believe Brandon is the second key figure in the Supersonics’ victory.”
“I disagree!” Barkley shouted, “There goes this guy, declaring Frye the GOAT in an irrelevant topic!”
Barry retorted, “Isn’t Frye the GOAT?”
“Michael is the freaking best!!!”
Barkley didn’t argue his point; he changed the subject, completely derailing the topic, turning the post-game show into a GOAT debate.
Durant, however, became enraged.
He couldn’t understand why his stellar performance as a small forward had become a sacrifice for Frye’s cause.
Why, when he played a great game, were these people so eager to credit Fei?
It was as if without Fei, he wouldn’t even know how to eat!
Durant didn’t know if his perception was flawed or if the world had errored.
He turned off the TV and started frantically searching online for post-game articles about last night’s match.
The result was despair.
Whether it was ESPN or other sports websites, or even the major mainstream media newspapers, everyone was more focused on Artest’s mistakes and Fei’s massive triple-double.
His 32 points and 5 rebounds? Merely mentioned in passing.
But mostly in the narrative of “Frye voluntarily took the power forward position to perfectly set the stage for Kevin Durant’s excellent second-half performance.”
Anyone who only read post-game articles without watching the game would think he just clung to Fei’s coattails to scrape up 32 points.
.co
No one would think he was a key factor.
The huge gap between feeling proud of oneself and not receiving any recognition made Durant restless and irritable.
He logged onto Twitter in desperation, trying to find someone to speak up for him.
Only Bill Simmons tweeted, “Did no one notice that KD played a great game last night?”
He clicked in, intending to leave a modest reply, but the most supported response he saw wrote, “If it weren’t for Frye and Brandon controlling the Lakers’ defense inside and out, KD couldn’t have had such a performance!”
Durant wanted to reply, “You idiot, you know nothing, don’t watch the games, go eat shit!”
But he knew, he couldn’t do that.
Because neither “the boy-next-door Durant” nor the now furious Durant could speak ill to the fans.
If only I could stop being myself at certain times, how great would that be?

A thought suddenly struck Durant’s mind.
Why not? On the internet, anything is possible.
A certain thrill began to take root in Durant’s heart until he saw the tweet from Kwame Brown about last night’s game.
“Easy peasy! The Supersonics beat the Lakers under my leadership, just like flushing down a piece of shit. Stop saying they can stop us, because they can’t! #GreatestOfAllTimeInNer#Empire’sGodzilla”
What right do you have to say such things, you egomaniac who can’t even stay on the court at crucial moments? Do you even deserve to?!!!
In that instant, Kevin Durant decided that if he couldn’t tell the truth, if he couldn’t speak his mind, if he couldn’t be Durant, then he wouldn’t be; as long as he could voice all the unspeakable thoughts hidden in his heart on the internet. He could be anyone.
