In Game 6 of the NBA Finals, the Golden State Warriors defeated the Boston Celtics to claim their fourth championship since 2015. Kevin Durant commented on the Warriors’ recent triumph. It could be that one troll at a time may be tarnishing the legacy of Kevin Durant following his first-round sweep by the same team Golden State defeated in the NBA Finals. Durant was a member of the Warriors from 2016 to 2019 and helped lead the team to two NBA championships.
Kevin Durant will have to contend that he now has two fewer rings than Steph Curry, Draymond Green, and Klay Thompson. On June 17, Durant tweeted: “I been dead since July 4th 2016, but congrats to the dubs and my boy Steezy, a Fillmore legend, man been waitin his whole life for a parade on market st.”
Furthermore, on June 13, he tweeted that he does not believe he struggles as a basketball player. A hater responded with the statement: “You shot 22-83, 7-21 from 3 and had 21 turnovers in a sweep. You for sure struggled in that series vs Boston.”
Durant appeared unfazed by the insult and took the jab with ease. Read Durant’s back and forth on Twitter below.
Kevin Durant’s Team Lost In The First Round
For the series, Stephen Curry led all scorers with 31.2 points, 5.8 rebounds, 5.0 assists, and 2.0 steals. Durant’s Brooklyn Nets were the victims of a sweep by the Boston Celtics in the first round of the playoffs. As a result, they watched the game from home after losing to the Celtics.
In addition, KD was told by a fan that he’s among the top 5 players in the league and reminded that others’ opinions are useless.
KD Involved In A Kobe Bryant Debate
In recent days, however, KD found himself involved in an argument about Kobe Bryant. Also, about Kobe’s attitude between winning three in a row and two additional victories after Shaq left. The fan noted that KD’s approach to the game is “At every facet of the game – and the height you’ve achieved is perhaps the highest anybody ever has.”
The fan continued, “Kobe is my favorite player ever – the diff between him in 05-06 vs 08-09 as an example is he imprinted his personality on every single player.”
