The history between Kevin Durant and former teammate Enes Kanter hasn't been a good one over the last year, and it hasn't gotten any better this offseason.
After Durant held a myriad of social media wars with critics throughout the summer, Kanter took the chance to ride the caravan of critics and doubled down on his love and respect for the organization, taking it one step further on Wednesday to shake his head at his former teammate.
“Never,” Kanter said on an interview on CBS Radio. “He never complained about Billy (Donovan), never complained about us, and he never complained about the organization. But we learned how he felt from Twitter. I'll say it again: it made the whole organization really sad. It was disrespectful.”
“You just won a championship. You were the Finals MVP. I understand interacting with fans, but having a fake account and just answering back and trying to have a conversation with them and stuff, come on, man.”
The sixth man had a notable incident with Durant at Chesapeake Energy Arena from his spot on the bench, rendered unable to play after suffering a broken hand. The two jawed at each other throughout the game and have been torn apart after Durant made his decision to join the Golden State Warriors last summer.
“If you're Kevin Durant, you don't do that,” Kanter continued. “He is one of the top five players in the league. Come on, man. Just go do your thing. Play basketball and try to be the best. When he's doing all these little things to all those people who sit on their laptop and just writing comments – they got no life. Come on, man. You don't do that.”
Durant apologized after his comments painted the Thunder organization in a non-pleasing manner, and lamented mentioning his former coach as a reason for not returning for his 10th season with the franchise.
