Kevin Durant fired back at Kewshawn Johnson
The back and forth started when in a recent episode of Undisputed, former Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Keshawn Johnson made a controversial analogy regarding Kevin Durant's tenure with the Golden State Warriors.
Johnson stirred the pot by asserting that if NBA veteran Paul Pierce were placed in Durant's position with the Golden State Warriors, he could replicate Durant's achievements alongside star players like Klay Thompson and Steph Curry.
However, Johnson's comments, made on live TV with a slip of profanity, received a swift and sharp response from Durant. The NBA star took to social media, notably X (formerly known as Twitter), to express his disdain for hypothetical comparisons, stating, “If the Jets would’ve took Jonathan Ogden, Marvin Harrison, Ray Lewis, or Eddie George number 1 they would’ve been better off. I hate hypotheticals."
The 14-time NBA All-Star disparaged Johnson's hypothetical scenario and suggested that the New York Jets would have been better off selecting football legends Jonathan Ogden, Marvin Harrison, Ray Lewis, or Eddie George with their top draft pick instead of Johnson.
Durant's response reflected his no-nonsense attitude toward such debates. He criticized the comparison in a direct yet sarcastic manner. Johnson's casual comparison clearly struck a nerve with Durant, who is known for engaging with critics and expressing his thoughts on various platforms.
