i seriously doubt that KD wastes his time and energy being upset at russell westbrook over petty beefs that happened ages ago. are any of you guys still holding grudges over former coworkers you didn't get along with from 10 years and three jobs ago?

Yes. 
not in the sense that I ever sit around and think about them, but if you said the name to me of a couple of 3 people in my life in that situation I’d be like “man fuck that guy” even if I hadn’t thought about them for 7 years.

Yep.  Ditto.  There are definitely people I wouldn’t work for or with again.

i guess that was a poor question on my part, as none of us work in a profession like prow desafío al sports, where getting very angry and combative with your coworkers only to quickly move on and move forward is commonplace.

Don't presume too much. I work in prow desafío al consulting, and I think it's pretty comparable.

I've said repeatedly the last five years that a healthy KD is the best player in the game.  And I'm not the only one, quite a few talking heads have.   I'm not sure that's the case anymore.  Incredible scorer, but he doesn't control the flow of a game like Lebron.  Not really an all around guy.  Peak KD is arguably the most unstoppable guy ever.  I think healthy KD is still easily top 8, just not top 3 anymore.

Another data point for KD being on the Mount Rushmore:

Two basketball players have signed a lifetime deal with sneaker giant Nike: Michael Jordan and LeBron James. Now we can add a third—Phoenix Suns superstar and two-time NBA champ Kevin Durant has joined the club, according to NBA.com.

I don't think he's the best player in the league but he's been very good to elite on D this playoffs. He's been better on D than O in this Nuggets series so far. 

Unlike peak LeBron he can't be the best player on both ends of the floor for 40+ minutes a night every game in the playoffs (anymore at least) - but outside of Curry and Jokic he's still consistently as good as anyone right now. 

Series ain't over - he may have some stuff in the bag still.

I love Steph.  He impacts the game immeasurably.  Kind of a one way player though, so I'm not sure I can ever call him the greatest.  I'll take KD at his best over Steph.

Once again, this is the stupidest thread title in the history of Surly.  

not even fucking close. the people here earned that title, and it should stand as a reminder of the stupidity and treason which took place on this board.
