Kevin Durant wears his heart on his sleeve and he isn’t afraid to show it — in the community, on the court and in press conferences. After Game 4, Durant said he thought he let Oklahoma City down when he and the Thunder blew a 15-point lead in the final five minutes Monday night.

Thunder fans love him for that, and they’ll love him for this: KD drew the line on love after Game 5, and he had none for Dirk Nowitzki.

Minutes after Durant’s season ended with another closing-time loss to the Dallas Mavericks, ESPN’s Mark Schwarz seemed to be asking him if seeing Dallas forward Dirk Nowitzki return to the NBA Finals offered any consolation. The implication: Be happy for Dirk because he’s suffered more disappointment.
