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.

He also poked fun at Durant’s decision to join the Warriors and then move to the Brooklyn Nets. Questioning his championship aspirations, RD went all out on KD and threw down some heavy facts. He emphatically added, “Mr offense explain it to me the only thing in that series that was more abysmal than the aerial view of your scalp was your shooting percentage in that series.

However, in case things were not spicy enough already, Shaquille O’Neal just stirred the pot even more.
