Carmelo Anthony’s retirement announcement on Monday has the basketball world expressing its appreciation for his impressive career.
Kevin Durant joined that party in a way only Durant could, popping on Instagram to roast his former Team USA teammate. Durant shared two pictures of himself playing against Anthony during his prime with the Knicks, labeling one, with Anthony defending him, as a foul and the other, with him defending Anthony, as an offensive foul. He also threw in a screenshot of an old Instagram comment in which Anthony jokingly called Durant a “milk dud head a--.”
Here’s what Durant’s story looked like.

Durant has been known to have fun on social media over the years, so it’s no surprise he decided to honor Anthony in this way. This was the perfect tribute from one of the game’s greatest scorers to another, especially considering they won two Olympic gold medals together playing for Team USA in 2012 and ’16.
