10 reasons Kevin Durant's decision is worse than LeBron James' 2010 Decision

#10 Dropping a classy organization

Kevin Durant was lucky to be with a classy organization

When LeBron James left Cleveland, Cavs owner Dan Gilbert expressed his fury in a scathing letter written in Comic Sans of all fonts. The Cavs organization took some of the brunt off of James for leaving the way he did. If a player gives so much to a team and a city, he deserves a better send-off.

The economic impact a LeBron James or a Kevin Durant cannot be overstated. They are an industry in themselves, and they team they stay with reaps the benefits in green. LeBron got snubbed by the team he killed himself for.

Compare and contrast that with the classy response of the OKC Thunder top brass thanking Durant.

Before one dismisses this as a hater spewing hate, let's acknowledge that all Durant did was take up a better job. Something anyone of us would have done. Also, a decade or so down the line people will forget the turn of the heel and just appreciate the beautiful basketball we will be treated to.

The Warriors' offense was historically explosive to begin with. It's a once in a millennium shot to have two supremo shooters like Curry and Thompson. Now they have added another once in a generation scorer to the mix. Which basketball fan would not be delighted at the prospect of watching this poetry in motion?

There is nothing wrong with what Durant did. But his decision does come across as a worse one than LeBron James'.
