Kevin Durant on LeBron James being better than him: ‘Nah’

Kevin Durant took to a YouTube comment section on his YouTube channel to tell a fan LeBron James is not better than him.

Yes, you read that correctly.

There’s a lot to unpack here. Yes, Durant thinks he’s the best player in the world. Of course he does. He just won finals MVP after his Warriors gentleman-swept James’ Cavaliers in the NBA Finals.

He averaged 35.2 points, 8.2 rebounds, and 5.4 assists over five games while shooting 55 percent from the field and 47 percent from deep. He’s an NBA player and one of the best at his craft. Is he supposed to think someone is better than him at what he does? “Nah.”

But, wait a minute. Is Durant really on YouTube scrolling through comments? Is he really replying in the comment section? Apparently so:

The feisty Durant we all knew and loved in 2010 on social media is back, and this time he’s got a finals MVP trophy to back him up. Shortly after winning his first title, he took to Twitter to let everyone know why he plays for the Warriors. A few days later, he stepped out here and responded to multiple troll attempts with fire tweets.

Now? We’ve pivoted to YouTube. Gotta keep the bases covered, right?

This is the Summer of Durant. He’s living his best life and won’t let your comments or your tweets stop him. But what really strikes me here is that not only is Durant scrolling through YouTube comment sections — which is a dangerous thing to do, by the way — he’s also taking the time to reply to you TWO MINUTES AFTER YOUR COMMENT IS POSTED.

That is incredible. And, yes, it’s only a one-word response. But it’s also a response from Kevin-freaking-Durant. Y’all better watch out in that comment section. It’s rare to get a response from an athlete on social media — especially the best ones. But Durant is different. He’s got time.
