Today’s clash between the Golden State Warriors and Phoenix Suns was a type of thriller NBA fans live for. The Warriors were fresh off a three-game win streak on the road with their defensive powerhouse Gary Payton II back on the squad. The Big Three of Kevin Durant, Bradley Beal, and Devin Booker spearheaded the Suns. However, the two main narratives ahead of the matchup were Draymond Green-Jusuf Nurkić face-off, and, of course, Stephen Curry vs KD.

However, his take on KD vs Steph debate has made him a public enemy. “He was the best player in a series with LeBron James, Steph Curry. He was the finals MVP,” said Bob.

Bob Meyer’s Kevin Durant comments infuriate Warriors Fans

One fan named ‘God’schild’ pointed out, “KD has never been better than Steph. Steph LET KD shine because Steph is humbling.”

Another user empathized with this comment reiterating, “I’ve always said that if Steph could foreshadow the narrative of him needing to prove his greatness, things would’ve looked differently.”

Another user highlighted a separate issue writing, “Why did KD bail on them tho? I’m still confused till this day”

In the end, ‘God’schild’ chimed in again writing, “What games were you watching. They double guarded Steph so KD stayed wide open. Clearly the opposition didn’t feel KD was the best or biggest threat on the court. I expect another ring this year to shut some folks up again.”
