The Suns had been a multitude this season, however Kevin Durant is refuting that they had been fist fights-in-the-locker-room ranges of messy.
Former All-NBA heart and four-time All Star Demarcus Cousins mentioned on “Run it Back” Friday that there have been “absolutely” fist fights within the Phoenix locker room this previous season.
The place Cousins received this info from is unclear, however for Durant, he was truly within the Suns locker room.
“I have to contest this 94 footer,” Durant posted to X in response to Cousins’ claims. “This some bulls–t to throw on us. Yea yea yea we were trash this year ha ha ha but we NEVER got close to this. NEVER.”
Durant has turn out to be recognized for by no means backing down from arguments on X, as he usually calls out followers and reporters on misinformation or opinions he disagrees with. So, it wasn’t too stunning to listen to from him after Cousins’ “bullsh–t” reviews.
Whereas Cousins’ claims in regards to the locker-room fights had been shortly refuted by Durant, he actually had another legitimate criticisms of the Suns’ season throughout his section of the present.
“Phoenix was a bad situation from the jump,” he mentioned. “They put a team together based off names. It was never a team that made sense. You just put a bunch of scorers together and then threw some other names on and said ‘Go win a championship.’ That’s not how the game of basketball works.”
Phoenix deployed a star trio of Durant, Devin Booker and Bradley Beal, but completed eleventh within the Western Convention and did not even win 40 video games.
Now, Durant primarily has one foot out the door with an offseason commerce looming, whereas Beal is basically an unmovable piece together with his restricted manufacturing on a $250-million contract that also has two years remaining.
Cousins spent 11 years within the NBA and was a dominant drive for a lot of of them earlier than struggling an achilles harm that derailed his profession. In 2018-19, he performed 30 video games with the Warriors alongside Durant.
He went viral final week for his stunning altercations with unruly followers within the Puerto Rican Skilled Basketball League.
