Controversy stalks Kevin Durant!! Oh my!! What to make of all this?? Not much...

Kevin Durant is back in the news if not in uniform. A new book is stirring the controversy pot about KD’s time in Golden State. Ethan Sherwood Strauss’ The Victory Machine: The Making and Unmaking of the Warriors Dynastycelebrates the Golden State’s success before, during and after Durant’s time in Oakland.

In an excerpt published Tuesday, Strauss recounted a face-off he had with Durant over an article Strauss wrote for The Athletic —one that highlighted the sacrifices the Warriors had made for Durant in their offense. Durant accused the writer of trying to “rile up” Stephen Curry’s fans:

I tried to make a few points, saying I didn’t begrudge him for having leverage with his contract, and insisted that I had good reason to write what I wrote.
