Never afraid of losing his way on social networks, Kevin Durant is this time entering a punchline duel with Jay Richardson, retired from the NFL. And it pulls in all directions.
With the Nets for over a year now, Kevin Durant continues to have to talk about his controversial time at the Warriors. During his recent appearance on JJ Redick’s podcast, he therefore tried to definitively close the debate on his two rings acquired in the Bay. His version obviously did not convince former NFL linebacker Jay Richardson.

If it can help you sleep at night @ KDTrey5 ????????????
Always on the lookout when it comes to spotting criticism of him on Twitter, KD was quick to draw back, and to knock out the career of his interlocutor.
These practice squad players talking like starters, I hate it

Those practice squad players who talk like regulars, I hate that.
For the uninitiated, the NFL allows its franchises to include among their ranks players under contract, but signed only to participate in training. A member of the New York Jets practice squad in 2012, Richardson enjoyed moderately, as evidenced by his line.

I have to be honest… I’m proud of you for tweeting with your personal account as an adult. No fake account this time around. It’s a big step forward for you ????????
The beginning of a long and sharp exchange between the two top athletes.

Explain what you mean Jay?
…And you had a chance to Beat them when you were up 3-1 with OKC. If Jordan had Joined the Pistons after losing to them we’d have destroyed him for that move. So it’s it’s only fair we give it to you straight @KDTrey5 it’s BECAUSE YOU’RE SO TALENTED. WE EXPECTED BETTER????????♂️ https://t.co/EOBSWau39l

Ok. You are in the NBA Top 3. You will surely be considered one of the best all-time scorers. And you are a good defender. That’s why it was weak of you to join a team that had 3 All-Stars, an MVP, and a DPOY, and that already had a ring… You didn’t need to do that.
And you had the opportunity to beat them when you were leading 3-1 with OKC. If Jordan had joined the Pistons after losing to them, we would have destroyed him for that. So it just makes sense to be honest with you @ KDTrey5. It’s BECAUSE YOU’RE SO TALENTOUS. WE EXPECTED BETTER ????????♂️
A discussion for a long time worthy of the best Rap Contenders, between a Kevin Durant annoyed to look back on his time at the Warriors, and a Jay Richardson disappointed with the behavior of the NBA superstar. All you have to do is taste.
