Kevin Durant fired at comedian Ryan Davis on his opinion about him. KD said, “He’s a trash-ass comedian telling a 2x champ that he doesn’t know what it takes to win. Sh*t be crazy out here.”
Davis, known for his quick wit and humor, didn’t hold back when it came to roasting the Slim Reaper. In his Instagram post, Davis playfully mocked Durant’s hair, his offensive-centric mindset, and his perceived lack of defensive prowess.
He highlighted the importance of defense in winning championships, citing examples of NBA Hall of Famers with multiple titles and numerous all-defensive selections. It looks like RD tried to pack a basketball lesson inside his veiled roasts.
