Kevin Durant praises Kobe, slams media in 1 swoop
Kevin Durant doesn't like the media. We get it.
So, it came as no surprise when the Oklahoma City Thunder superstar used an opportunity to pay homage to Kobe Bryant as a two-pronged platform to criticize every sports journalist who picked apart the Mamba's poor statistical output this season.

In Durant's defense, he's not wrong - reports have indeed been relentless in their analysis of Bryant's shooting woes throughout the first month of the 2015-16 campaign.
In the defense of said sports writers, Bryant has struggled mightily as of late.
Regardless, now is the time to savor the five-time champ like the fine wine - or Vino - that he is.
