Too bad for sports columnist and commentator Skip Bayless as Kevin Durant clapped back at him on Twitter for heaping praises on him and claiming he’s the best player on the planet. Perhaps, Kevin didn’t like the subtle manner Skip used to run down LeBron James while praising him.
Here is what Skip Bayless tweeted:
“The Best Player on the Planet was at it again tonight in Brooklyn, going assassin in overtime for the COVID-rocked Nets. Nothing like Kevin Durant. You watch, Bron?”
Kevin Durant clapped back, saying he does not like Skip Bayless.
“I really don’t like u”.
This comes on the heels of KD’s brilliant performance against the Raptors.
Patty Mills made a 3 to force overtime, Kevin Durant had 34 points, 13 rebounds and 11 assists, and the Brooklyn Nets beat the Toronto Raptors 131-129 on Tuesday night.
Durant was upgraded from questionable just before the game because Brooklyn has seven players in the NBA’s health and safety protocol, including starters James Harden, LaMarcus Aldridge and DeAndre’ Bembry. He responded to the last-minute add with his 14th triple-double of his career.
“I felt like it was something I could play on, so I knew I was going to play this morning,” Durant said. “I hate that my teammates are out. I wish everybody was playing.”
Brooklyn won its third straight, with Mills adding 30 points. It was the fourth career 30-point game in Mills’ career, and his first since Nov. 1, 2019, when he was a member of the San Antonio Spurs. The Nets also got 17 from Kessler Edwards, 16 from Nic Claxton and 13 from Blake Griffin before he fouled out in overtime.
And Twitter had a field day with Kevin Durant’s clap back. People seemed to love how Kevin handled Skip Bayless, but they also don’t realize that reacting to Skip is precisely what he wants, and that is what keeps getting him paid. Flip to the next page for the tweets and reactions.
