Xu Jingyu beat Durant! He was fragile and cried when he lost. After joining the Warriors, he was the softest in the NBA
11:37am, 5 June 2025【Basketball】
NBA offseason has not arrived yet, and the basketball circle has become lively again, because the Thunder easily eliminated the Timberwolves 4-1 in the Western Conference Finals. At that time, basketball commentator Xu Jingyu was aiming at Durant when the live broadcast was on the air.
Xu Jingyu felt that Durant's heart was relatively fragile. When I was playing in the Thunder, I burst into tears as soon as I lost the game, and it looked so emotional. It’s like when you encounter a little setback, you will lose your footing first.
He specifically mentioned that in the summer of 2016, Durant made a major decision to join the Warriors. In Xu Jingyu's view, this behavior made Durant famous as a "soft egg" in the NBA. At that time, the Thunder and the Warriors competed for the top two in the West, but Durant chose to join the opponent's camp.
According to Xu Jingyu, if the Thunder wins the championship this year, Durant's historical status will plummet. People will say that you didn’t win the championship when you were there, but the team won the championship after leaving. Isn’t this in vain?
Who said that the small ball market cannot win the championship? Xu Jingyu also emphasized that if Durant had the perseverance enough to stick to the Thunder, he might be able to win the championship with his own efforts, and he would not have been able to achieve his current reputation. But his choice to leave early does give people a "soft" feeling. This remark has sparked a lot of discussion among the fans, and everyone is discussing whether Durant is really what Xu Jingyu said.
In my opinion, it is really interesting to say that Xu Jingyu is really interesting to Durant. Durant left the Thunder and joined the Warriors, and this move was indeed a bit controversial, after all, some fans thought it was "submitted to the enemy." But judging from his mentality, it may be that the Thunder could not rush out of the West and was too eager for the championship, so they made that decision on impulse. But this also exposed his lack of firmness when facing difficulties, which is part of Durant's inner sensitivity.
Just as Xu Jingyu said, crying when losing is easy to collapse, which is not in line with everyone's expectations for a superstar.
From external factors, the competition in the NBA at that time was too fierce. The Warriors have shown super strength, with a luxurious lineup and smooth playing style. Durant joined the Warriors, and although he quickly won the championship, he was also known as "submission to the enemy". Fans are not very accepting of this behavior. After all, everyone hopes that the stars can have backbone and lead the original team to win the championship by themselves.
As a basketball commentator, Xu Jingyu needs to create topics and attract the audience's attention. Durant himself is a topic figure, and giving sharp comments to him can make the show more popular. But then again, Xu Jingyu's evaluation is also a bit one-sided. Durant's strength on the court is unquestionable. He has super strong scoring ability and has made great contributions to the team's championship during his time as the Warriors. He is an undeniable historical superstar.
Durant is also quite difficult. If you want to pursue the championship and realize your basketball dream, the option is not very recognized. After leaving the Warriors, he tried hard to prove himself in the Nets and the Suns, but he still never reached the division final. Every time the team has poor performance, someone will tell you about it. If he could stick to the final championship in a team like Jordan, Kobe, and Curry, no one would say he was "soft".
But the basketball world is so complex, full of surprises and choices, it is really difficult for one person and one city to be one. But now Durant is still at the end of his peak and is already discussing a deal with the Suns and will soon join a new team. Maybe next season, Durant will lead the new team to win the championship, and those voices saying he is "soft" will naturally disappear. Let's wait and see the fun of this summer's offseason.
The winner is king, the loser is the enemy, and history will only remember the winner. From Durant's personal perspective, there is nothing wrong with being loyal to his heart.
