During a 2018 interview, Kobe Bryant was asked who the toughest guy in the NBA to defend was, and without hesitation he named Kevin Durant. While engaging with fans on Wednesday, the Suns forward was asked how he felt that Bryant said he “couldn’t figure out” Durant when it came to trying to defend him.
“I felt like I was doing something right,” Durant wrote on Twitter.
During the interview, Bryant explained that when Durant first came into the NBA, he was “easy to defend.” The Lakers legend said the young wing couldn’t go right and shoot, couldn’t turn left shoulder while in the post and couldn’t finish at the rim with his left hand.
