It’s not uncommon to see league stars go after haters, but it’s even more so when it comes to their fans. However, this is precisely what Kevin Durant did with his biggest fan recently… and this is not the Nets leader’s first attempt with him.
It’s an open secret in the NBA world, the No. 1 supporter of Kevin Durant in the media is Skip Bayless. The analyst of Fox Sports has been regularly proclaiming his love for the winger for years now, consistently commenting on his games. Above all, he does not hesitate to repeat that the double champion would be better than LeBron Jamesbeing also known to be the biggest hater of the Lakers player.
The problem is that the Slim Reaper and the King are good friends off the court and this kind of provocation from the journalist therefore tends to annoy him more than anything else. Many months ago, he had also dismantled it in a tweet that had set the internet on fire. Obviously, his point of view on the character has not changed since since he sent him a new missile, during an exchange with an Internet user:
Kevin Durant sabre encore Skip Bayless
He doesn’t but he knows the audience is so easily influenced that whatever he says will be taken as law https://t.co/SCEeIJfCPh

@King_Shekhem : Kevin Durant, can you tell me why Skip thinks he knows your every thought and how you really feel about things/people?
Kevin Durant : He knows nothing about me, but he knows that the public is so easily influenced that everything he says will be taken for granted.
Difficult to make more clear on the part of the former Warrior, who is clearly fed up with his worshiper. Already known to be ruthless towards his detractors, KD is not necessarily more tender towards his fanbase when he does not appreciate the speech of this one. It must be said that Bayless knows very well what he is doing, since he generates a lot of ratings with his repeated tweets. This is also the reason why he immediately responded to the sensational release of n°7:
Hey, Kevin Durant: I have my opinions, you have yours. I challenge you to join me on my podcast and tell me exactly where I’m wrong. Let’s talk hidden agendas, you and I, one on one. I’ve been your biggest fan. This will be a breeze for you.

Hey, Kevin Durant: I have my opinions, you have yours. I challenge you to join me on my podcast and tell me exactly where I’m going wrong. Let’s talk about our ulterior motives, you and me, one-on-one. I was your biggest fan. It will be child’s play for you.
The invitation is issued, although the chances that the interested party will agree to come are practically non-existent…
Skip Bayless may publicly venerate Kevin Durant at the slightest opportunity, he does not gain more popularity with the superstar, quite the contrary. Which should not prevent it from continuing in the years to come…
