Durant ejected from the game.

This is something I've never understood and maybe because I'm not an NBA player at that level but I'm competitive as the next guy, adrenaline or not, how do you get the urge to walk up to an NBA ref who is trying to do his job and scream in his face? I know NBA players do it often and it's done every single game that it's just deemed "common" now but I mean think about it.....that ref has kids at home or whatever and he's literally just trying to do his job right.

Obviously he has his own philosophy on the game as does KD and maybe it was a foul but to literally yell and scream at someone who he only associates with because he plays basketball doesn't give KD or anyone the right. In any sport really and we see it on a nightly basis. It's just so strange really how their first thing to do is yell or cuss at a ref. Like at any other job when someone makes a mistake, when is this okay? Haha I don't know maybe it is the adrenaline pumping but I mean shit...its literally a fucking game. There's wayyy more important things in life and to act that way over it is just childish. Same for my favorite player/team/coach/ etc.
