Kevin Durant has once again stirred the pot with his latest comments, proving that he’s never far from the spotlight. Despite the ongoing chatter about his social media antics, Durant's recent remarks on a podcast have caught everyone's attention. When asked about his favorite teammate, the 37-year-old Houston Rockets star mentioned Stephen Curry but ultimately gave the nod to Russell Westbrook.
“It’s a tie between Steph and Russ,” Durant explained. “With Russ, I never feared he’d lose a matchup. That comfort from the point guard made my life easier.”
Durant's time with the Oklahoma City Thunder alongside Westbrook was indeed memorable. The duo was a force to be reckoned with, even if a championship eluded them. Durant's move to team up with Curry at the Golden State Warriors in 2017 and 2018 brought him the titles he sought, solidifying his legacy.
Fans, however, were quick to react to Durant's comments. Many pointed out the irony of his departure from Westbrook to join Curry, leading to a flurry of online discussions.
Some fans reminisced about the 2016 Western Conference Finals, questioning Durant's choice. Others speculated about his leadership role during his time with Westbrook, with some recalling Draymond Green’s infamous remark that the Warriors didn’t need Durant to win.
Durant's ability to generate buzz is undeniable, whether it's through his play on the court or his words off it. As the conversation continues, fans are left wondering what Durant will say or do next. One thing's for sure-Kevin Durant knows how to keep the NBA world talking.
