Don't hate, just appreciate! :)
KD is a player that has gotten much less recognition than he deserves in his career. He's basically an unstoppable scoring machine. Perhaps not in the way Lebron is unstoppable, but unstoppable regardless.
In fact, he gets a lot of hate for leaving the Thunder for the Warriors, then the Warriors for the Nets. However, we shouldn't see this as betrayal but rather a reflection of his determination to win. I mean, didn't Lebron leave an aging Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh for the Cavs, then left the Cavs for the Lakers? A lot of times, players have other considerations when changing teams too.
I think sometimes we need to sit back and consider how hard NBA players work before we cast judgement on them. Perhaps putting things into perspective that way will make it easier for us to empathize and realize that we have no right to criticize many NBA players, for they are merely doing what's best for them, working as hard as they can.
Instead, take inspiration from them. Do your best :) Stay on the grind boys!

Yes, KD is a monster - a real monster both inside and outside. He's unstoppable man. His outside shots, mid-range shots, isolation plays, fade away shots. All of them, he's mastered it.
I think the reason why he was hated so much is because he chose to join a team that's already very strong. 73-9 and the team that knocked them out despite leading 3-1 in the Western Conference finals. I guess that hurts a lot for a fan watching your superstar joining a team already used to winning.
I think so too... and I think in America, most fans support teams rather than players so it hurts even more. Outside the US, I would say most NBA fans support the player rather than the team.
