#2 A twinge of hypocrisy
What makes Durant's decision ripe to be derided is the stance he took when the Heat and Lakers were forming super-teams. You can't point fingers at others for colluding and then do a flip-flop and do it yourself without expecting backlash.
The beliefs of a politician can be as malleable as liquid, but a sportsman needs to find his stance and stick to it. The best in the business let their game do the talking. Calling out other players for their decisions is petulant at best. A star would have welcomed the competition and chewed them out. This comes close to whining, especially in hindsight.
