During a recent segment of the FS1 UNDISPUTED show, the former Broncos TE reveals how all the players he critiques consider his words to be strong and not unreasonable. He shares that his problem with the Brooklyn Nets small forward is his notion that he is a non-basketball athlete and has no prior knowledge of the NBA. Sharpe adds that Durant believes all of the analyst’s knowledge comes from Twitter.
While addressing Durant, he states, “No KD, I was watching games without sound, when you was like 6. Cause I got kids near your age. I have been watching TV and playing the game for a lot longer…damn near longer as you were alive.”
My theory is that guys like steve, skip and Shannon have changed the game for the worse. Playas like Stephen and Michael can only push the game forward.
.@stephenasmith says Steph Curry changed basketball for the better, while MJ changed it for the worse. “Michael Jordan is responsible, as much as anybody, for changing the game for the worse!”
It is with his premature criticism that Sharpe seems to be annoyed. He believes while stating, “I got nothing with what he said. It was like he was taking a shot at Stephen A. and threw me and you in.”
Shannon Sharpe presents a strong argument against Kevin Durant and his criticism
The 8-time Pro Bowler then stated some of the most important individuals in Durant’s career who didn’t play basketball. He believes that Durant respects low to no basketball experience individuals like Sam Presti, RC Buford, and Gregg Popovich. But Sharpe is perplexed about the Nets star not accepting his critical comments.
The NFL legend makes valid arguments for his comments about Durant, who seems to have been too premature in his assessment.
He reveals that he watches games without sound so that his view of the game doesn’t have any bias or influence.

The 4-time All-Pro TE believes that all the sports are most times above statistics because they only present half the information. Sharpe seems to have found objection towards Durant’s judgment rather than him as a person.
