NBA superstar Kevin Durant offered an intriguing response as he attempted to backtrack on his explosive comments slamming his Brooklyn Nets from earlier this week.
On Tuesday, the Nets suffered a historic 153-121 defeat to the Sacramento Kings. It was the most points the Kings - who haven’t qualified for the playoffs since the 2005/06 season - have scored in 29 years while it was a second successive loss for the Nets after they fell to the Los Angeles Lakers.
Durant - who is in his 16th season in the NBA - was clearly furious with the performance as well as the expectations surrounding his Nets team. In an exclusive interview with Chris Haynes of Bleacher Report, Durant appeared to fire shots at his teammates as he named them before explaining how fans expect the Nets to win simply because he was playing.
