Days After Viral On-Court Moment, ?Basketball Nomad? Kevin Durant Comes Clean About Alleged Beef With 9x NBA All-Star

The NBA playoffs are upon us. The Phoenix Suns have taken on the Los Angeles Clippers. Everything seems to be falling in place for the Phoenix Suns as they have taken a sizeable lead in the series (3-1). Kevin Durant once again came up big in the game, scoring 31 points. But recently Kevin Durant was in the news for elaborating on his alleged beef with former teammate and current opponent Los Angles Clippers’ Russell Westbrook.

KD and Westbrook were teammates in Oklahoma City before KD left for the Golden State Warriors. They even took Oklahoma to the NBA finals in the year 2012. It remains to be seen who comes out on top in the ongoing series between Russel’s Clippers and KD’s Phoenix.

Kevin Durant comes clean about alleged beef with Westbrook

The Oklahoma City Thunder had a god-sent trio of Russell Westbrook, James Harden, and Kevin Durant playing for them for a couple of years. They played a significant number of games together but still couldn’t achieve the objective of acquiring the NBA gold.

Quite recently, Kevin Durant explained his side of the story of an alleged beef with Westbrook. In an interview given to Logan Murdock from the Ringer, he said, “Even the cupcake stuff? Yeah, even that. I didn?t think that was directed at me. And I?m going to stand on that. I don?t think we ever had a problem or beef, because beef is deep, man. I didn?t get the sense that he was hurt. I just thought that he had an opportunity to get a max deal, a supermax deal, get an MVP, and have his team. And I thought that he handled that pretty well. And he looked happy doing it.”?

According to KD, both of them never had ill feelings towards each other. Everything floating around in the news was just false gossip. He even thinks that Russell’s ‘cupcake’ remark in the past was never directed at him.
