KD deserved the criticism and I don't think the editors at Oklahoman needed to apologize.
KD and his family need to get over it. He's a professional athlete and the media is going to be very critical of you at times. It 's part of the territory.
And frankly the headline wasn't even that harsh. The shoe fit, IMO. He's been unreliable. The only thing that I would have changed about the article is I wuold have thrown Westbrook in there as well. Mr. Unreliable and Mr. Poor judgment.
KD & his family just need to toughen up. If he were in LA, NY, Boston, Chicago, Philly, etc. they'd rip his ass much worse. However, since OKC is a small market this was the first time that he's been ripped so it stung a little bit.
Also, regardless of what he said afterword, you know that headline fired him and his teammates up.
