Kevin Durant woke up today and casually said: I'm going to drop 50 on Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks.
While he fell short by a hairline, Durant actually outdid himself with a historic triple-double, tallying 49 points, 17 rebounds, and 10 assists to lead the Brooklyn Nets to a come-from-behind victory over the Bucks in Game 5 on Tuesday.
He torched the Bucks so bad, Portland Trail Blazers star CJ McCollum couldn't help but throw some shade at Giannis.
Bruh first team all defense and ain’t go check easy$ 🤔

Giannis was recently named to his third straight All-Defensive First Team, but as McCollum savagely pointed out, he couldn't check Durant. Just for added perspective, Bucks guard Jrue Holiday was also named to the All-Defensive First Team this season, so McCollum might've been calling him out too.
But nah, who are we KD-ing?
With that lame joke aside, Washington Wizards star Bradley Beal was beside himself after seeing McCollum's take on Giannis.
CJ chill 😂

McCollum apparently wasn't done, as he quickly replied to Beal and made sure he got some bit of self-deprecating going on.
Bruh what’s going on ? 😂 make it make sense . Imma finish my drink and lay down. I’m just a casual fan since we got eliminated https://t.co/vCU6W8WALV

Durant was as hot as a sizzling steak on a scalding saucepan, shooting a mind-boggling 16-of-23 clip against the defense of Giannis and PJ Tucker. For good measure, he added two steals and three blocks in arguably his finest performance in the NBA Playoffs. With Kyrie Irving out and James Harden not in top condition, KD aka Easy Money Sniper aka Slim Reaper singlehandedly towed the Nets to victory.
It appeared Giannis Antetokounmpo and company was going to notch their third straight win after erecting a huge lead in the first half. But Kevin Durant casually said: Nope.
