“He Exposed Himself!”: Kevin Durant Ignites NBA Twitter After Direct Jab at Lakers Legend Shaquille O’Neal

NBA superstar Kevin Durant is one of the most active athletes on social media. Durant does not just sit and receive criticism on social media; he constantly hits back at his critics. The two-time NBA champion is infamous for his various Twitter feuds as well. Durant has had some beef with multiple NBA legends over the years including Shaquille O’Neal. And now, he has reignited his beef with the Los Angeles Lakers legend with a recent dig at him on Twitter. The four-time NBA champion won’t be pleased with this one.

Shaquille O’Neal recently made some comments about the recent Lakers addition, Rui Hachimura. The Japanese International joined the Lakers after three seasons with the Washington Wizards.

Kevin Durant calls out Shaquille O’Neal for his comments

The Los Angeles Lakers have been looking to make solid additions to the team to save their season. Laker Nation was happy about the addition Rui Hachimura. However, Shaquille O’Neal commented that he does not know Hachimura because he is not a top-10 player during the NBA on TNT. According to a report from Legion Hoops, O’Neal said, “If you ain’t a top 10 player, I don’t know who you are… I’m not watching the Bullets or the Wizards.”?Apparently Kevin Durant was not impressed with the statement and questioned Shaq’s basketball knowledge with a tweet. Most fans sided with Durant on this one and shared their opinions. Here are some reactions:

Many fans were not happy with the Big Diesel’s comments about Hachimura and agreed with KD’s notion. A lot of fans suggested Shaq as a basketball analyst should be aware of the players in the league. However, it does not look like the 2000 NBA MVP does not know about the player.

It could apparently be Shaq’s way of saying that Hachimura is not a top player in the league. Whatever his intentions were, it has backfired as it did not sit well with many. On the other hand, this is not the first time Durant has called out O’Neal

Durant’s feuds with O’Neal

Kevin Durant and Shaquille O’Neal have locked horns with each other on multiple occasions. When Durant was playing for the Golden State Warriors, he clashed with Shaq. KD’s teammate JaVale McGee was a regular on the Shaqtin’ a Fool by the four-time champion. After McGee hit back at O’Neal, Durant showed support.

The Hall of Famer was not happy and suggested Durant should stay out of it. Similarly, when the Slim Reaper had a feud with NBA legend Charles Barkley who called him a “bus rider”, Shaq stood with Barkley. The Brooklyn Nets star was not impressed and said Barkley “doesn’t need security”. With his current comment, we can be sure Durant will get an answer from the three-time Finals MVP one way or the other.
