O’Shea Jackson Jr once featured in Kevin Durant’s TV show called Swagger. He loves basketball and is a hard-core Lakers fan. Los Angeles is his hometown, and he loves his city team.

Having Lakers’ blood, he tends to mess with other franchise players and fans. One such person he once messed with was Kevin Durant. To this date, he fears that KD would come back for revenge when he lifts a championship, as he isn’t one to let go that easily.

In the recent episode of the podcast The Rich Eisen Show, O’Shae narrated how he heckled Kevin Durant once. He also stated that he is well aware that the day KD wins another championship, he will get back to him. O’Shae quoted, “There was a situation where he had a QNA with the cast.”

He added, “We got to ask him questions and around that time I asked him if he knew that the Lakers have won the 2020 NBA championship? which he told me yes he did.” 

KD and Shae’s Relationship

The thing about messing with players like Kevin Durant is that you never know when their time will change and they will lift the championship. O’Shae is well aware of how competitive KD is and thus, mocking him can be a huge mistake.
