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

#7 Taking the easy way out

Here’s a player who would not have taken the easy way out

Ask Michael Jordan. Ask Charles Barkley. Heck, ask Stephen A. Smith. There is no glory in taking the easy way out. When the going gets tough, you can't get going to another team where all is sunshine and roses.

The Warriors have just come off the best regular season in NBA history. They've bested the erstwhile unbeatable record of 72-10 set by the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls, before narrowly falling in the Finals. This is a complete team which was a few breaks away from two consecutive titles.

Kevin Durant has chosen to go to a team where he could even adapt the reduced role of a spot up shooter and be productive. He didn't go to the Celtics where he could have helmed the ship. He didn't choose a struggling franchise on the verge of a breakthrough like the Clippers. He took the easiest way out by joining the Warriors.

Don't give a damn what anyone says: weak move by KD. You go to GSW, the team who beat you, when you're already on a title contender? Please!
