Kevin Durant is one of the greatest players in NBA history.
He won’t stay silent when he feels disrespected, and he happens to feel disrespected a lot.
That’s why it wasn’t much of a surprise to see him clapping back at fellow NBA player Dennis Schroder, who had an interesting choice of words about USA Basketball.
When asked to compare FIBA basketball and the NBA and whether he thought Europeans could give Team USA a run for their money, the Brooklyn Nets point guard claimed that European hoops weren’t entertainment like in the NBA; they were pure IQ and straight coaching.
Needless to say, that may have been Durant’s biggest motivation to win the gold, and he captioned a pic of Team USA wearing the gold medal and saying ‘Entertainment and IQ’ (via Bleacher Report).

This just just who Kevin Durant is.
He’s drawn plenty of criticism for how active he is on social media, and he’s the kind of person who’s never going to mince his words about anything.
Some find this behavior hilarious; others just think he should be above that.
Whatever the case, one thing’s for sure: Now and until the end of time, Kevin Durant will hold bragging rights over almost every other NBA player.
