Kevin Durant is never shy of confidence. And he’s not shy of confrontation either. Durant gave a warning to all the teams around the league as he talked back to a Milwaukee Bucks fan, who was chirping something to KD.
The Bucks fan was heard talking to Durant about last year’s playoffs. Durant had a historic series against the Bucks, and he was very close to eliminating the Bucks. In fact, he was only an inch away from eliminating the Bucks.

Durant hit an impossible turnaround jumper with a second left on the clock in game 7. However, his foot was just inside the line and he could only tie the game. But Durant gave a warning to the fan and to all the teams in the East.

However, Durant also gave a stern warning to the other teams. The Brooklyn Nets look like they are finally getting all their pieces together. Seth Curry and Andre Drummond have been huge for them. Kyrie Irving is back to his best, and if rumors are to be believed, he will be allowed to play in home games soon.
Ben Simmons is nearing his return as he looks to make his NBA debut for the Nets. Kevin Durant is also expected to return next month and he will look to continue his impressive scoring run.
However, their path might have gotten a little more difficult. The Bucks still look like the best team in the league and Giannis is not looking to give up his throne without a fight. Meanwhile, the Sixers are looking deadly with their new duo in James Harden and Joel Embiid.
The Cleveland Cavaliers look hungry and they got stronger in the trade market. The Chicago Bulls and Boston Celtics will look to make some noise in the playoffs. All in all, Kevin Durant and the Nets have a tough road in front of them.
