I'm not upset. You're upset. That's what this sounds like from Kevin Durant. The Finals MVP was asked about his Twitter exchange with C.J. McCollum on Wednesday night and his response was adversarial. Instead of answering any of the questions from the reporter, Durant fired back with a series of his own questions.

Here's a transcription of the exchange between both Durant and reporter:
When asked about his Twitter beef by a reporter, he responded to nearly every question with a question.
“C.J. who? What happened yesterday?”
Was that all fun?
“What you thought it was?”
It seemed a little more serious.
“Why?”
It seemed like you were upset.
“Why me?”
Because of what he said when he answered that other tweet.
“So why isn't he upset?”
He doesn't seem to be upset.
“So why am I upset then?”
I don't know. I just thought when you called it an f–in podcast and snake in the grass…
“So I'm the upset one because he responded to something I said?”
He seemed almost like he was saying something about you.
“Yeah, but he didn't have to say something about me. Ok then. So how am I upset then?”
I'm just saying you might be upset…
“So C.J.'s not upset, but I am? Maybe he's upset about something I did? So I'm the upset guy?”
No, I guess he was upset first.
“Alright then.”
Kevin Durant might say he isn't upset, but he is awfully testy with the media when they press him about his Twitter exchange with McCollum. It's unfair to say that Durant can't handle the criticism because he's won two straight Finals MVPs. Things are going well for him in the Bay Area.
But that being said, He is constantly taking issue with anyone and everyone who questions his decision to sign with Golden State. Two years and two championships later and he's still jumping down anyone's throat whether they're on social media or they're a reporter right in front of him.
