“I can't hear your drunk a**.”
Kevin Durant is never one to back down from a taunting fan. He's talked back in the past whenever fans get a bit too rowdy in the crowd.

Kevin Durant, who scored 20 points in the game, revealed the underlying reason behind the Nets' loss on Tuesday.
“(They took) 20 more shots than us and seven more three-pointers. That’s the game,” Durant said.
Kevin Durant was not the only Nets' player to take a shot at Sixers' fans. Ben Simmons said he expected the Philadelphia faithful to be louder during the game.
The Nets ultimately fell to 8-10 on the season. With that being said, Brooklyn has been playing a much better brand of basketball as of late. Ben Simmons has resembled the All-Star player he once was in recent games, while Kyrie Irving is beginning to regain his rhythm. Meanwhile, Kevin Durant continues to set the tone. They will find themselves in contention if their big three continue to produce.
The Nets will aim to bounce back on Wednesday in the second of a back-to-back in Toronto against the Raptors.
