When word got back to Durant about those comments, the two-time NBA Finals MVP replied on Twitter by bringing up two of the most infamous moments from the 55-year-old’s career:

If you have seen Michael Jordan’s Last Dance, there is a moment in which Scottie Pippen infamously took himself out on the final possession of a Bulls playoff game against the New York Knicks on May 13, 1994, with the score tied at 102 because head coach Phil Jackson called a play for Toni Kukoc.

However, Kukoc hit the game-winning shot to give the Bulls a 104-102 win, Pippen was flustered with the play not going through him.

Kevin Durant averaged 35.4 points, 10.6 rebounds, and 5.4 assists per game with a 49.7 field-goal percentage. The 32-year-old became the first player in NBA history to score at least 45 points, grab 15 rebounds and dish out 10 assists in a playoff game (Game 5 against the Milwaukee Bucks).
