Kevin Durant had been waiting for a long time to switch his jerseys. And after much deliberation, he finally found himself a new home in the Houston Rockets. However, soon after his trade, Durant finds himself in hot waters. And this time, he is in a full blown verbal war with a Suns fan.
The Phoenix Suns had a forgettable season this year. And for Durant too, it was the same. While the team relied heavily on KD, the icon could not deliver as expected. And it looks like the dissent from the fans have not subsided yet. In a recent report, Durant could be seen engaging in a heated discussion. As the fan accused him of taking away Devin Booker’s ‘competitive fire,’ their conversation went as follows.
Kevin Durant: “So you’re saying I only take away his fire?
Fan: “Not necessarily take it away, but your demeanor is a calm one, and body language isn’t always the best, which I think has rubbed off on Book a little bit, but I get why it would be. You’ve been here for three years, and nothing has gone as expected.”
Kevin Durant: “So when Book plays good, do I rub off on him only when he plays bad?”
Fan: “I think it’s a little bit of both…”
