I seldom use this word if ever. But it amused me when of all people Berry Tramel used it on air on the Sports Animal in reference to Kevin Durant. I would guess offhand Tramel has never uttered an F bomb in his entire life except maybe that one time when Little House on the Prarie was cancelled. I assume what put Tramel over the top was the Howard Beck piece where either Durant or one of his unnamed groupies in his entourage threw Russell Westbrook under the bus as to why Durant ultimately decided to play for the Oakland AAU team.
Do I think Durant is a douchebag? It would be hard for me to answer yes to this all things considered since I cried when I heard his MVP speech and was moved when he donated a million dollars to the tornado relief fund in Moore, Oklahoma.
But again, I think Durant was incredibly weak in the manner in which he handled his decision and in no way should Russell Westbrook have been thrown under the bus.
I was at midcourt for Game 6. Kevin Durant went 10-31 and was basically awful in the biggest game of his professional career. My take is if you’re going to switch teams then fine, but don’t throw your friend under the bus using an unnamed source in the aftermath.
Douchebag stays on the previous title line.
