Former NBA player Dennis Schroeder has publicly criticized Kevin Durant’s response to a recent on-court altercation. In a candid interview, Schroder expressed his belief that Durant’s actions revealed a weakness in his character.
As NBACentral (@TheDunkCentral) Tweeted, Schroder stated, “They won, and Kevin Durant tweets, ‘High IQ and entertainment.’ For me, that’s just being weak. You’re that type of a star, and you have to say something to a person like me who not even meant it to be negative. It was just what I see from both sides, you know what I’m saying? I didn’t appreciate it. I don’t care, but at the end of the day, that tweet, or whatever he posted, was because of me. For me, it was never no negative stuff. I respect all of those guys, all GOATs, but to say that tells me how weak he is as a person. It is what it is. Not everybody is strong, not everybody is in a good place,”
