So you achieved an incredibly difficult accomplishment in your life? Congrats, now the whole world is waiting to take you down, you should feel proud. Society tends to focus plenty of energy on winning "the big score" but hardly ever prepare for what come afterwards. Once you've surpassed everyone in your competitive sphere you immediately paint a target on your back.
When Drake started to receive unprecedented praise as the biggest artist in the world people instantly went to "dethrone" him, sort of speak. The Patriots entered their season opener as winners on the biggest stage in football and went home with an L on the first night.
There's a quote from Dr.Dre that goes " You said you wanted a spot like mine But remember, anybody can get it The hard part is keeping it, motherfucker."
the quote above is taken from Kendrick Lamar's "Wesley's Theory" from his 2015 LP, TO PIMP A BUTTERFLY
The challenge isn't in winning it's the consistency of winning. Once you win you proved yourself to be the best but you give ammo into making others better. Take for example, the Golden State Warriors. After their acquisition of Kevin Durant, this past off-season left teams scrambling to compete with the juggernaut in Oakland, making trade deals left and right. But remember the KD trade happened as a result of Lebron being too good.
The best always make people readjust but the greatest always continue to readjust their game as well.

Last night, the unthinkable happened during the 2017 NBA ALL STAR GAME. Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant actually cooperated with each other for one of the night's most memorable highlights. For those who are unaware of the significance, Kevin and Russell struck bad blood once Kevin decided to join the Golden Stare Warriors. A team Russell and KD almost defeated TOGETHER in the Western Conference Finals last year. Russell chose to resign with OKC and ever since then it's been a heated rivalry between the two NBA superstars.
Comparing their situation to our day-to-day experiences, there will always come a time where you will have to work with an enemy or former associate of some sorts in order to get the job done. Russell and KD are recognized as two of the NBA's best players and they had to come together for a Win for the sake of their conference. You may have to align with foes for the sake of the community, a project, or even your employment.
When found in this seemingly compromising situation just remember that the alliance is temporary and it's never as bad as it may seems.

Another Kevin Durant rec ball shining moment. If all we are left to survive on for the next 8 months are NBA TV Hardwood Classics and YouTube vids like these then… well it will still suck won’t it?
Kevin Durant drops 66 points at Rucker. Here’s the highlights.
I know it’s a park game and I know KD is one of the best in the world playing against some Pro-Am dudes that are more Am than Pro, but still, 66 at Rucker Park ain’t no joke.
