After Michael Jordan drama, Kevin Durant calls out fan’s ‘insecurity’ amid comparisons to Kobe Bryant

Kevin Durant silences an NBA fan by making a strong statement about ‘idol’ Kobe Bryant

During the 2012 Olympics, basketball fans witnessed the Mamba and the Slim Reaper share the court for Team USA.

Evidently, Team USA dominated the tournament, winning the gold medal in the process. Speaking of their time together, an NBA fan labeled KD an inferior scorer compared to Bryant.

Upon seeing the viral tweet on X, the Houston Rockets star didn’t waste much time before clapping back at the fan.

“Mamba is one of my idols, I love him, but I averaged at least 20 a game in gold medal games. Had a 30-piece nugget with Kobe on the floor actually,” Durant wrote on X.

He added: “History lessons aren’t a sign of insecurity, you choosing to forget is! Have a good day, Jakob.”

For context, Durant referred to the 2012 gold medal game between the U.S. and Spain. He dropped 30 points to win a gold medal for Team USA.

Kevin Durant is on a rampage against his doubters

With the offseason in full flow, the Rockets’ star has some extra time on his hands. He’s using it to counter NBA fans’ arguments on social media platforms.

Previously, Durant fired back at fans over the GOAT scorer debate, claiming he’s a coach’s dream.

Considering KD has averaged 27.2 points per game over his NBA career, it’s no surprise he rates himself so highly.

Aside from that, Durant also made a Michael Jordan fan angry over the three-level scorer debates. All things considered, the 2x NBA champion is on a mean streak where he’s not holding back one bit.
