Kevin Durant has gotten pretty critical of the media lately and hasn't appreciated how they've handled what's turned out to be Kobe Bryant's last year. He believes that the majority of the media has been hard on Bryant for having one rough year in a career filled with so many great ones. He let them have it real good in a session with the media on Monday.

How else were people supposed to react to a season like this? Just keep applauding Kobe because he's giving it a go at his age? Kobe wouldn't want participation applause and neither should Durant want that for Bryant.
