Follow Us
Kevin Durant is arguably one of the best scorers in the NBA. Playing alongside James Harden and Kyrie Irving, the Brooklyn Nets are among the favorites to become the NBA champions this season.
The Nets are facing off against the Milwaukee Bucks in the second round of the playoffs. Given how well-matched both the teams are, the Nets vs Bucks matchup became an instant must-watch.
While Giannis and Co. were expected to make things difficult for the Nets, that hasn’t been the case so far, as KD and Co. have been dominant and taken a commanding 2-0 lead in the series.

The former Bulls guard responded to Durant. In a recent appearance at KJZ, the 31-year-old analyst said that he stands by his story. “I stand by my story. You know, I was probably wrong for sharing your personal story. But that’s what we do. We share personal stories.”

Williams also said why he said the story in the first place. “It was meant as a compliment. There are levels to this. It was about you know, saying, hey, how different KD is. It’s unfortunate that KD felt that way at that moment, but I wish KD nothing but love and all the best success, I hope they win a championship.”
Williams added, “We talk about them every single day. Shoot the other day, I was talking about him being the best player in the world. So that’s all I gotta say about that….. Now there’s some other people that made some other comments that I might address later on. But we’ll save that for another day.”
