Kevin Durant Weighs In on Kobe Bryant Debate

Kevin Durant is always ready to weigh in on Twitter.

The Brooklyn Nets superstar recently weighed in on a Kobe Bryant debate. The conversation was about Kobe Bryant and his mindset in between winning three in a row, and winning another after Shaq left the team. One fan said that Durant’s approach to the game is “Individual excellence. At every facet of the game – and the height you’ve achieved is perhaps the highest anybody ever has. 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.”

Durant was not buying this point, even though the fan wasn’t trying to throw him under the bus. Durant wrote “Ima be real, bean would tell u the difference between him in 06 and him 09 was the addition of pau Gasol and having a chance to really chase a chip.” This is a point that goes back to Shaq’s recent comments in which he told a fan off for claiming that he’d be nothing without Kobe. At the end of the day, basketball is a team sport.

Following his take, Durant was called out by another fan who questioned if KD even knows basketball. That’s when KD fired back saying “Lol Kobe was already a championship player man cut it out.”

Durant is always a target on Twitter, and few engage with fans like he does. That being said, Durant can handle himself with the best of them. The guy is not afraid to go hard to the hole on and off the court.

Burners aside, Durant is a Twitter machine.
