According to Skip Bayless, Kevin Durant is the NBA’s most washed-out superstar. After the Phoenix Suns defeated the Dallas Mavericks 125-116, Durant responded to the former Fox Sports broadcaster on social media.
Kevin Durant-Skip Bayless banter takes center stage
In a comment on his podcast, The Skip Bayless Show, Bayless implied that Durant no longer resembled his best self. According to Bayless:
“The more I watch him at age 36, the more he looks mentally semi-retired to me,” “He is participating in a documentary that’s being made about his life and times. And it just feels to me like he is winding down his basketball [career]. And it’s reflecting in the Suns’ win-loss record because they started off 8-1 this year. Since then, they have gone 20-31. They are 28-33 overall as we speak.”
Bayless continued by saying that Durant no longer has the same mindset as he did while playing for the Golden State Warriors. According to Bayless: “The Phoenix Suns just look like they’re done to me because Kevin looks like he’s on his last mental legs,” “Not his last physical legs, just mental legs. He’s not really into it the way he used to be into it when he went to Golden State.”
Fuck it, We’re both washed, it was a a great run @RealSkipBayless https://t.co/CVjqPSWWHH
