As the game progresses into new territory every day, one complaint has become very popular. Fans from the generations gone by argue that the game has grown ever too soft. Most recently, Nets star Kevin Durant has been fined for an absurd reason. Engaging in an act of foul language, the 33-year-old has been fined a hefty amount. And fans are having none of it.
Currently, with Brooklyn, Kevin Durant is having an astounding season. He is averaging nearly 30 points and 8 rebounds this year. Along with James Harden and now Kyrie Irving, he will be hoping to lead the Nets to an elusive title this year. Hell-bent on achieving success, even the best can succumb to the frustration at times. This is exactly what happened with KD, for which he has been reprimanded now.
