So it turns out Kevin Durant’s recent appearance on C.J. McCollum’s podcast wasn’t quite as jocular as it sounded to the naked ear.
McCollum repeated his gripe about Durant leaving the Oklahoma City Thunder for the Golden State Warriors. He moaned and groaned over the Warriors’ signing of center DeMarcus Cousins.
When McCollum boasted that the Blazers could compete for a championship, Durant laughed. The whole thing seemed (mostly) like playful trash talking.
It blew up on Twitter Wednesday night when a third party stoked the fire.
I still think the b word is harsh and shouldn’t be used.
