Kevin Durant Needs to Stop Caring What The Media Thinks

Kevin Durant interviewed with Bleacher Report's senior writer, Ric Bucher and said the following regarding players not wanting to play with LeBron James:

Durant also noted that the suffocating media attention around James doesn't help, either.

"So much hype comes from being around LeBron from other people," Durant said. "He has so many fanboys in the media. Even the beat writers just fawn over him. I'm like, we're playing basketball here, and it's not even about basketball at certain points. So I get why anyone wouldn't want to be in that environment because it's toxic. Especially when the attention is bull**** attention, fluff. It's not LeBron's fault at all; it's just the fact you have so many groupies in the media that love to hang on every word. Just get out of the way and let us play basketball."

Jason McIntyre reacts to this and thinks Kevin Durant ultimately needs to stop caring what the media thinks. Much of the media Fanboy-ism of LeBron James has existed for a long time and isn't going away any time soon.
