NBA: 6 players whose jerseys were burned by fans

2) Kevin Durant

Kevin Durant is currently the man in the crosshairs

We only build them up to watch them fall. Or as some cop put it, "You either die a hero or live long enough to become the villain." Even though Kevin Durant tried to make his exit as classy as possible, the fact remains that he is: a) Joining a rival who knocked him out in 7 games. b) Joining the greatest regular season team which will be amazing without him as well. c) Jumping ship after deriding others for doing so. d) Leaving behind an excellent title contender and jettisoning their chances.

Every other star on this list left a team which had clearly peaked. Durant is the only one who's left a team which was on the cusp of greatness. That being said, his move to the Warriors ought to result in a unique brand of beautiful basketball. No team has ever fielded three such prolific shooters on the floor, and the Warriors have an opportunity to develop into a true dynasty.
