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

#8 Kevin Durant preached loyalty

Loyal no more

The Kevin Durant of yesterday might fail to recognize the turn he's taken today. The Thunder have one of the most expressive fan bases in the league. Playing in the Chesapeake Energy Arena is one of the toughest trips for any team. The fans are loud and rabid and give their team a sizable home court advantage.

Except for some press fluffs, Durant enjoyed unbridled support from the city of Oklahoma. They were loyal to him through his ups and downs. Durant himself expressed his loyalty to the franchise time and time again. This led them to making moves to keep improving the squad around him.

Durant went back on his word, something he had preached time and time again. While LeBron did the same, he didn't get the help he deserved with the Cavaliers and they didn't earn his loyalty.

@Greg_Monaco I wanna play with Oklahoma City for my whole career
