Former American tennis star John McEnroe is among the best sports presenters today. The former tennis star has not restricted himself only to tennis. Recently he was part of a Netflix series as well where he voiced the narration. The 63-year-old recently appeared in the YouTube show KG Certified, where he interacted with former NBA star Kevin Garnett.

The two discussed various hot topics, from their careers to the current scenario of both tennis and basketball. They also had an interesting conversation about Brooklyn Nets superstar Kevin Durant.

John McEnroe on Kevin Durant

After having a poor outing with the Brooklyn Nets last season, there were reports that the star basketball player requested a trade from the Nets. However, he later withdrew his request. This left Nets fans furious over Durant. McEnroe discussed about the same with Garnett.

Referring to the recent incidents of Brooklyn fans going against Durant, McEnroe asked Garnett, “Now your buddy, Kevin Durant. What do you think of that? Can I ask you one question?”

Understanding what McEnroe wanted to ask, Garnett replied, “The fact that players have the leverage to be able to dictate their movements says a lot about players and what we have come from.”

McEnroe called out by fans for biased commentary

John McEnroe donned the commentator’s hat for the US Open final between Carlos Alcaraz and Casper Ruud. The 63-year-old is a big fan of the Spaniard and the way he was covering the match irked a section of fans who felt he was biased towards the 19-year-old in his coverage.

On Monday, Casper Ruud played his second Grand Slam final of the year. Earlier, he also made it to the final of Roland Garros, losing to Rafael Nadal on that occasion.

This time, he went down to another Spaniard. However, it won’t be fair to say that Norwegian simply gave it away to Alcaraz. He was brilliant throughout the tournament and gave a tough fight in the finals.
