Kevin Durant and one of LeBron James' friends had a testy back-and-forth on X (Formerly known as Twitter) on Friday. "Cuffs The Legend" opened the exchange by saying his mental health took the most impact when KD joined the stacked Golden State Warriors. KD replied to the social media influencer and those who slammed him by calling them "weak men."
James' friend refused to quit, slamming the Houston Rockets forward for replying to "assorted nerds," who never played basketball. Durant did not hold back when he replied.
“Sorry, Bums annoy me….your mental health is attached to LeBron James though, which is insane because you don’t hoop against him or nothing, your name is just cuffs…hahaha s**t be wild in 2025.”
"Cuffs The Legend" got off the last shot by accusing Kevin Durant of responding to a James fan at 2am. KD supposedly dared the critic to "Tell your king to guard me 1 on 1."
Durant's decision to quit the OKC Thunder for the Warriors in the summer of 2016 is still causing ripples. Most of his critics slammed him for joining a team that the Thunder lost to. Durant shifted the balance of power in the NBA by partnering up with Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, Andre Iguadala and Draymond Green.
With Durant joining the Dubs, LeBron James did not have a slight chance of leading the Cleveland Cavaliers against the stacked team. James went 1-for-8 in two NBA outings against the Warriors with Durant on the roster.
