It took nine years in the NBA before Kevin Durant finally captured an elusive league championship. But now that he’s gotten a taste of what it feels like to be an NBA champion, he’s grown more determined to taste another thing that has continued to elude the Golden State Warriors forward for years: actress Scarlett Johansson’s bath water.
Durant first pleaded to have at least a sip of Johansson’s tub extract in 2011, when he was still part of the Oklahoma City Thunder. Perhaps frustrated of always coming up short of winning an NBA Title up to that point, Durant might have thought that Johansson’s bath water was the elixir he needed to finally get his team over that massive hump in the playoffs.
A few years later, a fan asked Durant about that same tweet during an appearance this week on The Bill Simmons Podcast, and the former NBA MVP doubled down on his odd desire.
“I hope she is aware of it,” Durant said. “It’s strange now cuz I look really, it made me look crazy, but now it make me look real cool. I would, I actually love Scarlett Johansson, and I would do that … and she’s single now.”
So there you have it. Nothing in Durant’s 2011 tweet was lost in translation, as he made it clear that he really, really, wants to down a cup of Johansson’s bath drippings.
Kevin Durant, ladies and gentlemen.
