Kevin Durant seems to have no interest in hearing from Skip Bayless — even when being paid a hefty compliment.
Bayless, the star of Fox Sports’ “Undisputed” gushed over Durant’s triple-double (34 points, 13 rebounds, 11 assists) in the Nets’ gutty 131-129 overtime win over the Raptors at Barclays Center on Tuesday while also taking a shot at LeBron James. Brooklyn had just eight players with the rest of the team — including its other star James Harden — in COVID-19 protocol.
Kevin Durant didn’t appear please with Skip Bayless’ comments after the Nets’ win on Tuesday. Getty Images, Fox Sports“The Best Player on the Planet was at it again tonight in Brooklyn, going assassin in overtime for the COVID-rocked Nets,” Bayless tweeted. “Nothing like Kevin Durant. You watch, Bron?”
Durant didn’t appear happy with Bayless, who has continually pushed his belief that Durant is better than James.
“I really don’t like u,” Durant responded back on Twitter.
Bayless wasn’t done, going on to praise the former MVP for choosing to play after potentially sitting out because of injury.
“Steve Nash just said forfeiting was an option tonight because they wouldn’t have enough bodies,” Bayless wrote. “Kevin Durant was iffy on a bad ankle. But KD insisted on playing, played 48 minutes (sometimes with 4 rookies) and Nets won in OT. Best record in East by 2.5 games! KD MVP!!!”
Even with all the high praise, Durant doesn’t sound ready to accept any of it from Bayless.
