What did Kevin Durant say about Scottie Pippen?

Kevin Durant, 32, clapped back at Chicago Bulls legend Scottie Pippen after he criticized him in a GQ interview.

Pippen was discussing Durant’s place in the National Basketball Association (NBA) and his latest games with the Brooklyn Nets, saying: “KD can score better than LeBron, probably always have been able to.

“But has he surpassed LeBron? Naw. He tried to beat the Milwaukee Bucks instead of utilizing his team.

“You see what I’m saying? LeBron James would’ve figured out how to beat them and he wouldn’t have been exhausted and he may not have taken the last shot.

“But LeBron ain’t KD, and KD ain’t LeBron. KD is a shooter, a scorer. But he doesn’t have what LeBron has.”

Durant caught wind of Pippen’s comments and tweeted: “Didn’t the great Scottie pippen refuse to go in the game for the last second shot because he was in his feelings his coach drew up the play for a better shooter??”
