Remember after the Rockets took Game 5 from the Thunder — forcing tonight’s Game 6 in Houston — Rockets draft pick Royce White (who has not played with the team all season) took to twitter to taunt Durant, saying “y’all are looking SHAAAKYY BAAAABYY.”
I would say Kevin Durant fired back on Friday, but that wouldn’t get the tone right. Durant was simply dismissive of White.
Here is what Durant said, via Darnell Mayberry of the Oklahoman.“Who is that?” Durant asked when asked his reaction to White’s comments….
“I haven’t seen him on the bench,” Durant said. “I haven’t seen him on the bench. So, I mean, I’m not worried about guys that’s not even in our series. Ain’t that the guy that’s afraid to fly? Well I wish him the best, man, and if I see him next year I’ll let him know who were are.”
Durant tried to play dumb. He is not dumb. He knows who White is.
Which makes this response all the better, all the funnier. Full video below from CSN Houston.
