What is it with the national sports media (read: the so-called "Worldwide Leader") and their quest to squash the "little man" also known as our Oklahoma City Thunder and Kevin Durant?
In an interview on Grantland, KD told the interviewer, Bill Simmons, that he would prefer that he'd be known as "The Servant" instead of "Slim Reaper" because in his words he'd rather serve the fans, the ushers, etc. and not be served. While we here in Oklahoma love that he is being humble and wants to be called as a "servant" -- because after all Jesus said it himself...
If anyone wants to be first, he must be last of all and servant of all -- Mark 9:35 (HCSB)the aforementioned Worldwide Leader wants to espouse the philosophy taken from another Okie -- Toby Keith: "I wanna talk about me, wanna talk about I, wanna talk about number one oh my me my, what I think what I like what I know what I want what I see..."
especially when it comes to that little basketball franchise down in South Florida.
Another thing they asked today that grinded my gears so to speak..."Will Russell Westbrook's return hurt Durant's chances for MVP?" If nothing else, it should help it. Because after all...KD and Westbrook (as well as rest of the team) work as just that -- A Team!!!! Wow...a group of 12 men working together? What a novel concept!!! (Ok, more than twelve if you count coaches, support staff, front office folks, production staff, etc. -- but you get the idea!) As they have espoused all along..."Team is One". Not 5 different egos working 5 different angles...One Goal!!!
Apparently, some people in Bristol, CT and Miami, FL haven't grasped that philosophy.
You know...being humble does have its advantages. Try it...you'll like it!!!
OK...I'll get off of my soapbox. Until next time...
