WHY WE HATE HIM
KD committed the ultimate betrayal in sports history. After building something special in Oklahoma City and coming within one game of the Finals, he joined the 73-win Warriors team that just beat him. It wasn't just joining the enemy - it was joining the best regular season team ever, making the league predictable and boring. Then he had the audacity to call it 'the hardest road' and get into Twitter wars with teenagers who questioned his decision.

The legend continues... More villain moments to come.
GREATEST VILLAIN MOMENT
"July 4th, 2016 - Independence Day became Kevin Durant's betrayal day. Announcing his decision to join the Warriors via The Players Tribune while fireworks exploded across America was poetry. He didn't just join another team; he joined the 73-win Warriors who had just beaten him in the playoffs. The basketball equivalent of Benedict Arnold, choosing the easiest path to a championship while destroying competitive balance."
THE DEFENSE
KD was a free agent who chose the best opportunity for his career and happiness. The Warriors recruited him legally, and he made a business decision. He won two championships and two Finals MVPs, proving his worth. Players switching teams is common in modern NBA, and he was tired of carrying mediocre supporting casts. His individual greatness speaks for itself regardless of team context.
