Durant Called 'Mr. Unreliable' By The Oklahoman

 ​

The Thursday edition of The Oklahoman includes a big spread in which Kevin Durant is called "Mr. Unreliable."
 
Durant is averaging 28.0 points, 9.8 rebounds, 1.1 steals, 1.8 blocks and 4.0 turnovers per game, but he is shooting just 40.0 percent from the field and 28.6 percent from the three-point line.
 
Durant will almost certainly win the regular season MVP, but he has a playoff PER of just 18.4, ranking him 32nd among qualified player.
 
Durant also missed a key free throw that would have tied the game in overtime after Joey Crawford interrupted him to yell at the scoreboard operator.
 
"That's what they're supposed to write. I didn't come through for the team," said Durant in response.
 
"Typical Oklahoman on Kevin. UNBELIEVABLE!! KEVIN is RELIABLE!!!" wrote Durant's mother, Wanda Pratt, on Twitter in response.

I think they were trying to use it as a motivator, the whole reverse psychology approach. In that case, it seemed to work, so maybe next time they will title an article "Kevin who?" when they lose their next game.
