Celebs React to Kevin Durant Joining the Golden State Warriors
Kevin Durant shocked sports fans by announcing that he is signing with the Golden State Warriors and celebs are reacting to the news.
Celebs like Ansel Elgort, Zendaya, Patrick Schwarzenegger, Josh Gad, Scott Porter, and die-hard Oklahoma City Thunder fan Kristin Chenoweth have tweeted about the shocker.
“This has been by far the most challenging few weeks in my professional life. I understood cognitively that I was facing a crossroads in my evolution as a player and as a man, and that it came with exceptionally difficult choices. What I didn’t truly understand, however, was the range of emotions I would feel during this process,” Kevin said in a statement published on The Players’ Tribune.
“The primary mandate I had for myself in making this decision was to have it based on the potential for my growth as a player – as that has always steered me in the right direction. But I am also at a point in my life where it is of equal importance to find an opportunity that encourages my evolution as a man: moving out of my comfort zone to a new city and community which offers the greatest potential for my contribution and personal growth. With this in mind, I have decided that I am going to join the Golden State Warriors,” he continued.
Really KD?

Durant choosing the Warriors tells me that he doesn't want to be "the guy." None of the greats would've gone to someone else's team to be #2

That vomiting sound you hear is coming from the other 29 teams in the NBA not named #GoldenState. #KevinDurant #HandThemTheTitle

2 Things:
I can't wait to see #Durant on the #Warriors. Take my mind off being a #Knicks fan.
I wonder how many OKC jerseys will be burnt.

Anyone who tries to pick the #Warriors on @NBA2K in my house gets that controller ripped out of their hand. #ZeroTolerancePolicy. #NBA2K17

I'm not crazy into sports but I like how KD and Curry carry themselves. Together they'd prob work well. https://t.co/pCFiMaUoxK

I am pretty devestated. I'm very loyal in all I do. So I guess I struggle with his decision. https://t.co/E00n4VdDeK

What an idiot Kevin Durant is. He joined the team with the best shot at winning a championship. A fool!
