Kevin Durant denied staring at Rihanna after he hit a big three-point shot in Game 1 of the NBA Finals, but it sure looks like he did. Durant was asked about the interaction in the postgame conference, but Steph Curry made sure his teammate didn’t fall into a trap answer.
Did Kevin Durant stare down Rihanna? Steph Curry won’t let him answer that ‘trap’ question
Curry gave one final assist for the night.
Reporter: Kevin, towards the end of the game, you shot a three sort of putting the dagger into them. You looked into the crowd toward Rihanna...was that on purpose or do you remember that?
Durant: I don’t even remember that.
Reporter: Just to let you know, social media is buzzing about that.
Durant: Really?
Reporter: Yes.
Curry: Don’t get in that trap.
Let’s rewind a bit.
Earlier in the night Rihanna, a big LeBron James fan, was screaming ‘brick’ at Durant while he was shooting free throws. He glared over for sure.
That isn’t even the play in question.
This is.
It really looks like Durant is staring at someone here.
Rihanna stole the show in what was a boring blowout on the court in Game 1, and Durant clearly saw what she was doing all game. But Curry gave some good friend advice to keep his name out of the tabloids.
