Might as well have given the trophy to his mom, he wasn't the MVP that year. Plus, he's showing his true colours in Oakland.
meshcount
His true colors are showing in Oakland, his foundation fixed up several basketball courts here and over a dozen others around the world.

Just cus you're charitable doesn't automatically mean you're a good person. Alot of rich people do it for tax purposes. He's still a Koward

Man I'm from Toronto. Vince Carter has done a lot for kids, but he's still a dick. Durant is a whinging Robin and he didn't deserve the MVP.

My mother wasted 3000$ on gifts for her friends instead of getting me braces, so nope, not all mothers are good

forreallyandfortrue
My mother wasted $3000 on braces for my brother who stopped going to dentists at 18, smoked & drank so much pop he needed dentures by 40.
rabbiebabbie
How would she know he was gonna do that lol
forreallyandfortrue
She couldn't have known, of course; it's a crapshoot when you spend $$$ on kids, is my point. My folks spent $$ on themselves almost always.
forreallyandfortrue
It was selfish of them at the time, I've always seen that & simply decided that as an adult I won't go out of my way for them unnecessarily.
rabbiebabbie
I get that. I feel that way about some aunts and uncles who made false promises to be there for me after my dad passed
nicoleaut
She woke him up in the middle of the night in summers to work out, at 8 and 9yrs?? Not being a cunt but is this normal? Seems kinda mean.
sunyudai
Sounds like it was by his request.
clotblock
Youth basketball can be very competitive in the US. Travel teams for players as young as 6 are a thing
ImaGoingToHell
Or maybe it was too hot to work out during the day, so he would get more done when it was cool at night.
pakhzar
Yes but also he mentions "you kept us off the street" so perhaps getting obsessed and disciplined would drive him away from other trouble
destinoz
Freak athletes are apparent at a young age. She probably already knew by the time he was 8 that he was special, so she pushed him. 1/2
ArdentSlacker
Yeah. Working to give your kid a challenge they thrive on is great, and completely different from torture sessions. Selling a tiny rack now.
destinoz
2/2 kind of like realizing your child is a genius and finding more challenging advanced programs of study that are much more difficult.

Yes Sounds Like punishment to me.

Smokers get more hate than absentee dads... take care of your kids, gents!

And, absentee moms: clean up your act, goddamn it. People don't think "absentee mom" is a thing, but it is.

Who hates smokers more than they do absentee fathers? No one I've ever met.
ArdentSlacker
Asthmatics?
ancyker
He said gets more hate not hated more, but probably only because it's more obvious you smoke than have a kid you pretend you don't have.

Sadly, athletics can be a huge problem for black kids. They grow up thinking sports are their only chance at success and neglect learning.

Baltakhand
Wtf did he say, I want to know ;c I mean 130+ downvotes, what did he say???
SeeHowItGoes
Based on the other replies: criticising the grammar in the "you da real MVP" version of the quote. Based on the -189 points: rudely.
aboxacaraflatafan
Implied that the wording of "You the real MVP" was racist, because he "used proper grammar". But the wording is exactly how he said it. 1/2
aboxacaraflatafan
Also said that people are "making fun of [Durant]" for it (something Durant himself thinks) when there are few instances of that being true.

Good lord. Never heard it described like that, but it's accurate as fuck.

No it isn't. It's a false equivalency. More like choosing between breaking a toe & being dissolved in acid. Both bad, one not QUITE as bad.

False equivalency. More like choosing between breaking a bone (Hillary) or slow painful death (Trump).

Nah they weren't equally bad at all. Hillary was at least predictable and her platform was essentially identical to Bernie's.
