KD left the NBA world on skates when he came into the league. The 7-foot forward was moving like a guard and could score like a machine. Durant quickly became a top player in the NBA. Since then, the 2-time champ has scored over 25000 points. With the ability to score on all three levels, Durant is a nightmare for defenders. Even an elite defender like Kobe Bryant was left clueless when matched up against KD. However, all the accolades don’t stop fans from trolling the former MVP.

Kevin Durant doesn’t hold back

Back in 2011, Durant gave Rucker park the biggest surprise. The then Oklahoma star pulled up and decided to ball out. It was a magical night, to say the least. However, the fans found a way to turn it into a joke. They hilariously trolled Durant for the way he looked a decade ago. But KD wasn’t in the mood for the slander. Likewise, he gave a stern reply.

Durant is not afraid to respond to criticism. And this time was no different. The Nets star said: “Never came to the court with a ball, but I used to leave with one.” Unsurprisingly, Kevin Durant was always the most skilled player on the court. So when KD made his way into the Rucker, he once again took the game ball home.

Rucker Park is one of the most famous playgrounds in the world. When Durant entered the cage, it was a full house. Donning the jersey, KD didn’t come to play around. That night, the entire Rucker witnessed the greatness of Kevin Durant. The Slim Reaper went on a scoring tear even surpassing his NBA career-high. At 22, he went on to score 66 points. No matchup was stopping him from putting the ball through the net.
