Hope Toronto can finish the job, but that was a huge win for GSW despite losing KD for good. Would really love that both Gasol brothers ended their NBA careers winning at least one ring each.

Patrick McCaw a 23 year old borderline bench players has the chance to win his 3rd straight NBA title.

And with a different team each year!

The Knicks will trade for him.

If karma plays a role in the outcome the Toronto fans did some serious damage with their disgraceful behaviour when KD was injured.

You are overstating it a little there. Basketball players, especially KD, are such cry babies.

Some fans have been cheering injuries to rivals for as long as I've been alive. Classy? No, but not shocking, and in some sports it is the entire point (boxing, MMA).

Also, players aren't race horses. They don't get put down after an injury. If Durant never plays again, he will leave basketball probably making over 9 figures and his departure will open the door for someone else.

Nope, he won it with Golden State the last couple of seasons.

You're right, I had it in my brain that he'd won it with Cleveland, too.

The Knicks will still trade for him.

Warriors are just too injured this year.

They're getting old. I'm not sorry to see them fall.

I can't remember a game in any sport I've watched or been at where people cheered an injury.

Gladiatorial games.

You have obviously never attended a game in Philadelphia

It is shockingly poor behaviour and it should not be normalized in this way.

Someone didn't grow up with season tickets to Miami Hurricanes football.

Do all people who did hold views similar to you?

Heck, in Philly, they'll cheer for injuries to the hometown players. 

Seriously, it's distasteful and classless, but let's not pretend it's never happened before.
