Kevin Durant has his own version of “The Decision” today and decided to join the Golden State Warriors. From the beginning he said it would be a “basketball decision” and he indeed made one, joining a team that finished with a 73-9 record last season, though they fell one-game short of ultimately winning the NBA championship. Now with Durant on the roster, many think they’ll go all the way and win multiple championships if he stays with the team; he signed a two-year deal with a player option after the first season. But of course, with a big decision like this, everyone won’t be happy. Fans of the Oklahoma City Thunder did the customary burning of the jersey when a big player leaves the team, as fans did with LeBron James when he initially left the Cleveland Cavaliers.

This one fan couldn’t quite light the jersey, and instead wished Kevin Durant good luck.

This kid was having a grand old time swimming until his dad told him Durant was leaving. The kid began to cry then said he hates KD and wants to punch him in the face.
