Sports: Kevin Durant ‘annoyed’ he’s playing with LeBron on Team USA
OKC Thunder star Kevin Durant is not pleased that he’s playing with Miami Heat superstar LeBron James on the Men’s USA Olympic basketball team this Summer in London. Durant and OKC guards Russell Westbrook and James Harden were selected to play for team USA.
Durant suffered a humiliating loss to LeBron and the Heat in the 2012 NBA finals in Miami. OKC was favored to defeat Miami by nearly every basketball analyst.
Speaking to the Associated Press on Tuesday, the sore loser said he’s annoyed that he has to see James everyday as he prepares to practice with team USA in London:
“It does. It does, but what can I do?” Durant said Tuesday. “He’s my teammate now. I’m a team player. I can’t let that affect this. This is bigger than that. It’s tough to lose in the Finals and play the guy you’ve been going up against for five games who beat you.”
James, who was named both MVP of the league and the 2012 Finals, knows how Durant feels:
“It bothers him,” James said. “I bet it bothers him and (Russell) Westbrook, you know, they probably don’t want to hear about it. It would bother me, it would bother anyone that you lose to someone in the finals, where everyone’s competing at the highest level and you want to win and then you have to team up with them not too long, not too far removed from the games.
LA LAker Kobe Bryant, who is also playing for team USA, said he wasn’t sure he could play with members of the team that defeated him in the finals.
“He’s got to look at LeBron every day. I didn’t have to do that. So I don’t know if I could do that. I’d probably be trying to destroy him every single day in practice to try to, I don’t know, take a little of the edge off maybe.”

I know. Back in Jordon, Isiaha Thomas, Magic Johnsson days, playing in the Olympics was a privillage, bringing home the Gold was a Bonus. I can’t stand a sore loser.
I wish he hadn’t said this in the media because if they don’t win gold or place high it will become “Durant had problems playing with Lebron.” He has the right to feel how he feels, but you have to keep the media at arms length.

“It does. It does, but what can I do?” Durant said Tuesday. “He’s my teammate now. I’m a team player. I can’t let that affect this. This is bigger than that. It’s tough to lose in the Finals and play the guy you’ve been going up against for five games who beat you.”

Because basketball is mental and physical… this is how Team USA will be defeated this year….bet money… Ball hogging, ego blastin stupid reactin foolishness is about to ensue…
@under_ware ~ I agree 100%.
@Eazi, Luv ur gravi by the way

Got that shat right
I see nothing wrong with his statement. Most people would feel that way…hell, even Lebron agreed. It would be a different story if he said he didn’t want to play at all. Just don’t see the big deal
I think people should just get over it…he won somebody had to!….and besides if he didnt win he would still be looked at as a failure so now he can be in the limelight with his ring!! lol

Gabby Union is not a homewrecker. And according to @Strong Coffee we channeling that negative energy towards Gabby since our own man is cheating.
Somebody said Gabby not a real actress but Kristen Dunst is…all I know is Kristen been nominated for an Oscar for Interview With a Vampire maybe? Makes Kristen rea-h to me. IJS.

*Magnifique!
they actually cool as lebron has spoken to him since high school thats why he embraced him after they won. guess still stings a little anyway. kobe shouldnt wanna play with durant since he swept him out the playoffs lol.
@Yall that sounds DELISH!!!!
Hi and shyt
Chill out Sandra, Durant’s not a sore loser. He’s an honest player, as any athlete would have to mentally adjust from “playing against to playing with” a rival. At the NBA level your opponent becomes your enemy throughout the Playoffs. You just don’t bounce right back as if you’ve never battled (win or lose).
Ace, who are you outting?
Yeah he dead ass wrong for them party deets
Oooh Bron Bron. Capricorns are cheap an boring. 
Aye Neyo just said he tired of the gay rumors
