You don’t know how to do anything. You think you know me, but I don’t care at all. Watch that b… mouth, you’re talking nonsense.”This was reported by several media outlets in the United States that had access to several videos in which you can see and hear how the strong discussion took place between Durant and the Detroit Pistons fan who was in the first final on the court.
