NBA – Kevin Durant bluntly on his relationship with LeBron: “You will understand that…

The start of this season’s schedule could hardly satisfy NBA fans more, since Kevin Durant and LeBron have already faced each other twice. That said, their attitude from the last match and their relationship seem to raise questions for some Internet users. The Slim Reaper also reacted to the controversy.

How could we hope for a better start to the season than seeing two of the best basketball players in history meet several times in the space of less than 2 weeks, for yet another duel between eternal rivals? Indeed, fans of the orange ball had the pleasure of witnessing this Friday the second clash between Kevin Durant and LeBron James, which ended in a victory for the Lakers against the Suns (122-119).

This match gave rise to a legendary spectacle with the King’s 32 points against the Slim Reaper’s 38 points. That said, the fact that the two stars exchanged jokes during the meeting was strongly commented on. The dazzling smile of the two superstars was obviously not communicative for all the fans, who questioned their competitiveness. And as usual, KD did not hesitate to retort immediately.

At some point, yall non athletes gon realize that friends compete harder against one another.

At some point, all of you non-athletes are going to realize that friends are the most competitive with each other.

LeBron James and Kevin Durant, a rivalry driven by their friendship?

Kevin Durant rarely keeps his tongue in his pocket, and often has his hands on his phone when it comes to an attack that concerns him. However, it seems that for once, his response is almost unanimous. He even saw his friend LeBron, like other fans, rallying to his cause with a photo of Michael Jordan and Charles Barkley, capable of being rivals in the NBA while getting along well on the court:

Kevin Durant was right, some of you don’t even like basketball lol.

Do you have to hate yourself to give your best between opponents? The answer is a big no for Kevin Durant and LeBron James, who wanted to remind fans that if their rivalry is important to them, it is precisely because they appreciate each other enormously and that they give each other even more fully when they face each other.
