Award shows staples are mean and harmless jokes about another person. And these ribs should stay back at the award shows. However, the NBA star Kevin Durant did not seem to enjoy the quips thrown at him by Peyton Manning. The NFL legend is known for his savage digs at others. Durant became a victim of Manning’s jokes at the 2017 ESPY Awards. It was a significant ouch-moment for KD because he sat straight-faced while the crowd roared at the hilarious joke.
The other staple of that night is the mean mugs, which are an NBA speciality. This is the reason why the speculation that Peyton Manning and Kevin Durant are in on the joke started. Later, ESPN’s Chris Haynes reported that both the athletes, indeed, planned the act.
