Internet reacts to Kevin Durant’s decision to join Golden State Warriors
(WTNH)–In a massive shockwave heard ’round the sports world, Kevin Durant decided to leave the Oklahoma City Thunder and join Steph Curry, Klay Thompson and the Golden State Warriors. The internet reacted as you’d expect.Warriors wing Andre Iguodala found out the same way everybody else did:
Looks I just turnt the gogo wifi on at the right time…

The Portland Trail Blazers’ backcourt didn’t seem especially pumped:
The game has really changed. #happy4thofjuly

Bulls reserve Spencer Dinwiddie was pretty vocal about it:
Welp now we know there’s one illegal team on 2k..

Lol f*** why not? We’re in unprecedented times. Go for the jugular! No more all star weekend. Just GSW vs Cavs lol https://t.co/AfB5UiQEII

Stephen A. Smith was actually making rational sense:
Don’t give a damn what anyone says: weak move by KD. You go to GSW, the team who beat you, when you’re already on a title contender? Please!

The Russell Westbrook memes were on point, too:

Some fans seemed to be coping well:
Why burn your KD jersey when you can conveniently turn it into an Oladipo jersey? Via @camden_kalsu. pic.twitter.com/CRsH63PDvD
