The Kevin Durant Signing Was Good For The Golden State Warriors

I believe the Kevin Durant signing was good for the Golden State Warriors. Kevin Durant is an above average NBA player and if you get enough of those, you might just have a shot at making some noise. In sports, making noise isn't just about who yells the loudest. It's about winning games by scoring more points than the opposition. I believe Kevin Durant helps the Golden State Warriors do this.

Kevin Durant puts the ball in the hoop. That is the best way to score points. You may think that this is the only way to score points, but if you're very crafty you can get an opponent to accidentally put it in your basket, and your team will also receive points for that. Basketball is cray-cray.

The Golden State Warriors won many games last year, but they did not win enough. They need to win more if they want to be champions, especially in the playoffs. Kevin Durant will help them do this. That is what makes this a good signing for the Golden State Warriors.

I hope you enjoyed my in-depth report on Kevin Durant signing with the Golden State Warriors.

You know how sometimes when something traumatic happens, an adult will revert back to a childlike state to deal with the grief. This article is that for me. And it's not even about Durant, it's really just a way for me to deal with the Bulls signing Rajon Rondo.

But yeah, if I were a Warriors fan, I'd feel like this:

As a Bulls fan, I feel like this:

Traumatized by Buying Pants

So I had to get some new dress pants this weekend, because, like Ric Flair, I just gotta style and profile. I thought this was going to be an easy experience, as it usually is not too painful. My biggest issue is that I have a small waist but some big ol’ gangsta thighs, so pants often hug my legs like spandex. 


Well, this was my biggest issue until my most recent excursion. I decided to get a couple pairs of 30W 30L and went to the dressing room to see how tight they would be on my legs. I put on the pants, and the legs felt a little snug but not too bad. I went to hook my pants up and realized that I was unable to. That's odd; I have been a 30W for as long as I can remember, and these pants were not even coming close.

I had just ate half a pizza about an hour before, so I was not feeling in tip-top shape, and these pants not fitting did not help. I didn't know what to do. I have been working out at least six days a week. Up until a few weeks ago, I was going on anywhere from 12-18 mile runs. I'll admit I'm not in the best shape of my life, but I'm still in pretty good shape. Why was this happening?

I tried on another pair, and I was able to squeeze into them, although it was not a comfortable fit. I finally bit the bullet and got a pair of 32s. They were a tad loose; I feel like 31 is my wheelhouse, but those are pretty tough to find when you are always trying to go cheap.

At this point, things really sunk in. I was in a haze. I could barely function at this point. I had the goal of getting new dress shoes as well, but I was in no shape to do any more shopping. I could barely speak as I made my purchase of my new pants. I bring this up only to mention what a giant bitch I was being. 32W is still very skinny and nothing to worry about, but I let this affect me for the next few hours.

I wish this had a happy ending where I became a grownup and did not worry about my waist size not being quite as small as it used to, but it doesn't. I'm still obsessing over it, which means I'm switching up my workout plan. I woke up Sunday morning and went for a run in eight degree weather. It sucked really bad, but it was a necessary step.

One day, maybe I will become a well-adjusted adult who can handle small things like that without it greatly changing my daily routine, but that day ain't today. Now I'm gonna go do some Yoga and get my zen on.
