Portland Trail Blazers guard CJ McCollum and Golden State Warriors forward Kevin Durant had a very public beef over a podcast this summer. Durant played down Portland’s championship chances, McCollum called out Durant’s move to the Warriors, and then Durant had a (shockingly) likable response.
The Ringer has listed its 45 favorite sports moments of 2018, and the beef made the list. As Molly McHugh writes:
Kevin Durant was a guest on C.J. McCollum’s podcast this summer and lightly roasted the Trail Blazers guard by telling him that his team wouldn’t be in the NBA Finals this season.
